.:Blessing Day:.

Well, it's about time I got around to posting about Remi's baby blessing! We blessed Remi on May 2nd. We did a double baby blessing with her new cousin Jay, who is just 11 days older than her! It was such a wonderful day/weekend! ALL of my family was able to come into town that weekend. It is very rare that we are all together, so it was really neat that everyone made the effort to come and support us.

We started off the weekend by hitting up Arctic Circle for dinner so that the kids could have somewhere to play. Our house is not really meant to accommodate that many people all at once! The kids had a great time playing, and all of the adults had a great time sitting around and chatting.

The next morning we headed down to the new Deseret Book downtown. My parents spoiled us and let all of us - adults and kids - pick out a book for a Mother's Day/Father's Day gift. Thanks parentals! The store was really nice, although I spent most of my time there nursing Remi. Grandma Z spent some time reading to the kids so the adults could look around.

For the afternoon, the guys were in charge of the kids while the girls went to get pedicures! The guys stuck a movie on for the kids while we were gone!

That nite we went to Chuck E Cheese for dinner. To say it was ghetto is an understatement. But the kids had a great time playing on the rides! Reece was all over the place, and loving every minute of it!

Sunday was blessing day! We decided to do it at our clubhouse since we were doing it together, and it was just perfect. We had everyone (except Katelyn - we missed you!) from both of our families there, along with some of our closest friends. It was just such a special day, and so neat that we got to share it with all of the people that we love most. Josh did a wonderful job with the blessing. We are so blessed to have a worthy priesthood holder as the head of our home, my husband, and as a father to our beautiful girls. Remi was an angel the entire day, and she looked so beautiful wearing the same dress that Reece wore! Sam also did a fantastic job blessing little Jay. We just really appreciate everyone coming to support us! The weekend went way too quickly!
