Blessing Day

We blessed Kennedy last week. It was pretty awesome. I think it’s fairly normal to worry that at some point during the blessing your kid is going to grab the microphone and start screaming like James Brown, thus embarrassing you horribly in front of family, friends, and neighbors, all while the bishop frowns in your direction while shaking his head. Needless to say, we did our best to get her prepared for the big day. It turns out that our worries were unfounded and only slightly exaggerated. Kennedy did a great job chillin’ in the circle and she even flashed me some big ol’ smiles which I was grateful for.

We had most of our family over for some grub afterwards and that was a good time.

Once everyone was stuffed an unable to put up a fight, we forced them all to the stairs where I shot them… with my camera.

Piglet took some lovely pics too, she’s definitely got “the eye”

Kennedy hasn’t stopped yapping about how much fun she had with her cousins.

Thanks again for coming everyone, don’t let the stinky diapers keep you from returning soon!

Oops, Sorry Mom

I imagine that's what Kennedy was thinking after she spit up all over my face. Word to the wise...don't hold a baby over your face after she's just eaten :) It had been 20 minutes so I figured I was ok. Oh well, it gave us a good laugh that night!!

Zak decided to get it on video before he helped me and Kennedy get cleaned up. I know most of our family has already seen this video, but it's kind of funny so I thought I would still post it. Sorry it's a bit jumpy and kind of hard to hear.

I know I know, I'm a Horrible blogger lately!! I'm going to try and be better. Zak has been the valiant blogger up until now, but he says it's up to me since he's very busy this semester. He is just so good at it so I was perfectly happy to let him post. But I'll try to do my best and post more regularly.

Well, we haven't been up to much since we've been back in Utah. Just trying to get settled back into our house and getting things organized and ready for school to start again. We have been able to visit with some family and friends though, so I'll post a few pictures that I did remember to take.

A visit from Jana Banana and Grandma Rose

We went up to North Ogden to visit Gma and Gpa Vaughan

Not only did Kennedy get to meet her Great Grandparents, we were treated to a delicious garden meal and they also sent us home with lots of fresh garden produce-Thank You!

Kennedy got to play with Uncle Christian for a few days while he stayed with us.

We have been getting 'real' smiles from Kennedy since she was 4 weeks old and are loving them!

Just some random pictures:

We just had a wonderful weekend with our family and we blessed Kennedy in church yesterday so I'll post pictures of the fun soon.
