Blessing Day

Aaron was blessed on November 25th. I've been excited for his blessing day for a long time. I was so excited that Sammy could bless him, and that he would be. I was excited to hear what blessings were in store for our son. 

I was originally stressed out about finding Aaron the perfect outfit for his blessing. So much so that I let Aaron have a full on meltdown in a Target while I looked at the clothes for a moment. 
This was his face after said meltdown.

But then the next day we were in the hospital and getting Aaron the perfect outfit was the least of my worries. It's funny how priorities can change so quickly. When we finally got out we grabbed him this adorable penguin outfit.
The day of his blessing Sammy and I were both nervous in the morning. We got up at seven and started getting ready. We left for the church a whole hour early.  
We were so lucky to have my family, Sammy's family, friends I grew up with, and friends we've made here there to support us. We took up one whole side of the church. When it was time for the blessing, the circle of friends was pretty large. It was great to see all of those people there to support Sammy and Aaron.

Aaron was a little fussy for his blessing, so our good friend Ben held his pacifier in his mouth the whole time and tried to keep him happy.

Sammy blessed Aaron to have good health physically, mentally, and emotionally. He blessed him to know his Heavenly Father and his Savior.  He blessed him to serve others. He blessed him to have a forever partner and to learn friendship with them. It was a sweet blessing.

After the blessing Sammy held Aaron up for everyone to see and Aaron cried real loud for everyone. He was over it :) Saamy sat back down with his parents and his mom grabbed Aaron. I was holding his burp cloth and had the thought I should hand it to her. Right then Aaron puked all down her dress. I was too late.

Aaron decided that he didn't want to stay quiet after that so I took him out into the hallway to try and quiet him down. My siblings were out there along with my friends came out as well and we got to chat for a bit and they had the chance to hold him.

After the blessing we headed over to my parents house for lunch. Sammy and I bought food the night before but I was so worried that we didn't have enough. It all worked out though and we fed everyone who came over.

We tried to get a nice family picture of us, but Aaron was hungry and not feeling it.


He thought his bow tie was delicious though.
Aaron's blessing day was a great day spent with family and friends, and I'm so grateful for how smoothly it went :)

Fake

I feel like a lot of times when going through blogger, I'm always pushing the boundaries a bit. A lot of blogs seem to always be happy and awesome and they just won this free product from someone and it's great! And then, I'm over here in my little corner of the blogosphere wondering, hey, should I actually write about this? Is this something that you just pretend like it never happens? Am I the only one this happens to? My favorite moments are when I find someone cutting down those walls and sharing what life is actually like. That they have zits. That they don't have the perfect relationship and baby. That they've struggled with mental health. That they're secretly gross like me. (I took a quiz on buzz feed about how secretly gross are you, and I got pretty gross. In the guise of not being fake, I am sharing this fact with you all!) When I find those blog posts, I instantly feel a connection with that person and will automatically follow them on their life j...

Liebster-ing it up!

Funny story. A few days ago I was reading all the blogs I follow like I usually do. And of course I read  Jana's  blog and read about how she had won the Liebster award. I had no idea what it was, so I read her post full of fun facts, and for everyone I kept nodding my head going, I DO THAT TOO! Then today I re-read her blog, and realized that she'd nominated me for the Liebster award as well! It was a very exciting moment. Thank you! So I guess this is how it works, I think, I'm new to this whole thing. I totally just stole this off Jana's blog ;) "The Liebster Blog Award is given to bloggers by bloggers. It is a way to acknowledge each other and say 'you're doing a great job.' It is for blogs with 200 or less followers, so it's also a great way to spread the word about smaller blogs & get them more readers/ followers! When you receive the award, you post 11 random facts about yourself and answer 11 questions from the person who nominated y...

Christmas Lights

It’s funny having a baby and then trying to do things. I’ve noticed over the last year that I’ve gotten an I Can’t do that sort of attitude. We can’t do that because Aaron will cry and we’ll get cranky and so on. I’m really trying to work on that.  My anxiety out in public is much worse too. Now I have two people to protect not just myself. The library definitely changed how I look at places and I wish it hadn’t.  Sammy really wanted to go to a Christmas village downtown but I was too overwhelmed by all the logistics. So we compromised and went to one near us. It was so much fun! It was cold out but not too too bad. Aaron loves looking at the Christmas lights at our apartments, and he really loved these ones. It was so much more fun trying to look at these things through his eyes.  He was also fascinated by the mini Santa and Mrs. Clause at grandma’s house.  I’m so glad we went and can’t wait to go next year when he’s walking:)
