Oh my goodness. I have SO much to blog about! First things first. In September we were able to go to Utah to celebrate Daniel's brother Shane getting married. Shane and Sidni got married on the 10th (9-10-11! Cool, huh?). It was a beautiful wedding and we are SO happy for them! For those of you non-mormon readers, in our religion we don't get baptized until we are 8 years old..but when we are babies we receive a special baby blessing--usually given by the babies father or another priesthood holder. Well, since we were surrounded by our awesome family while we were in Utah we decided to do it there on September 11. Daniel gave Evalyn a beautiful blessing and it was a pretty incredible experience to be a part of. I have seen and heard so many of these precious baby blessings but can't describe how awesome it was to have it be my own daughters blessing! We were able to have a bishop come to our house so that we could do it there instead of at church. Here are some pictures of Ev's big day!
These 2 cuties are so adorable when it comes to taking care of their cousin!
Evalyn wore the dress that I wore when I was blessed 22 years ago! I love my mama for keeping it in pristine condition all these years!
Getting her dressed!
Love my baby girl.
The men in Evalyn's life..minus uncle Sean who had basically ran a marathon the day before and driven home all night long. He was getting some much needed rest! And of course Shane who got married the night before, and Uncle Brett who is currently serving in Afghanistan. Ev is a very lucky lady to be related to these men!
I love this picture. I just wish I wasn't in the background!
Evalyn in awe of Uncle Ryan. So sweet!
It was such a fun day spent with wonderful family. We love you ALL! Thank you for being a part of it!
So cute! I can't wait to see you guys during Christmas!! Ps you need to post a picture of her wearing those adorable little pants!
