Updating On The Past...and present!

I am doing some back tracking with previous posts (sorry) I have just wanted to wait until I had some pictures to go along with some big events that I have missed!

On August 16 we finally had our baby blessed. We chose to do it in the ward we were in this summer while staying with my aunt and uncle. We REALLY enjoyed the ward and loved working with the bishop so we thought it was best for us to have Nixon blessed there. We are SO thankful to my aunt and uncle for allowing us to have Nixon's brunch in their backyard. They worked so hard all summer to have the yard ready for that day and it ended up being awesome!!!

Conner gave Nixon a beautiful blessing. Conner was stressing so much about it but you would honestly NEVER know that it was his first blessing. He did perfect! I was so thankful that my husband was able to bless our baby.

I made myself freaked out at the idea of Nixon having a blow out in his white blessing outfit, and I think my stress is why it happened! Luckily AFTER he was blessed he was sitting on Grandma Micci's lap and near the end of sacrament his cute white romper was filled with poo! So sadly I was only able to snap a couple shots in his blessing outfit at the church before the meeting began.

For our brunch we had crepes which turned out so fun. My mom put in a lot of work getting everything ready for it! I couldn't have done it without her! Thanks to everyone else who helped out. :) It was such a great day to be with all of our family. We are so blessed to have the wonderful family that we have!

The morning after the blessing I was able to suprise Conner with a trip to Seattle. We made it there once this summer but I know he was wishing we could have gone again before the summer ended. I wanted to tell him so badly about going but surprisingly I pulled it off as a total secret. He was pretty shocked and very happy about it. We had so much fun as always and can't wait to go back in November.

I was nervous about Nixon flying for the first time but he did as good as he possibly could. Both there and back he slept the entire flight!

Nixon & Grandma Anna Lee :o)

G-ma Micci watched Nixon while Conner and I took the porche on a quick get away. We drove down to Alki Beach, walked around, and ate at the famous Red Mill Burger. It was delicious!! :)

My in-laws have the most amazing view of the Pudget Sound from their backyard. Conner loves to take pictures of the sun set. Everynight it is different and they are all so dang pretty.

When we returned back to Logan (for real this time) we didn't have ANY food in our house. So we went on a BIG shopping trip and spent over 3 hours in Smith's. This was the outcome of that...

Nixon is at the stage where he ALWAYS has to be entertained. It sometimes makes it difficult to get stuff done without him crying for attention. We may be weird, but we have found that he really likes to be oustide. This is as close as he can get to outside and still have parental supervision! haha

Nixon recently learned how to roll from his back to his tummy which I think I may have mentioned before. Here are some pics to prove it! :)

We love our friends here in Logan! All but one of the couples will be leaving this year :( I hope so badly that we will always stay close to them! We had a few couples come over for pizza and games. Kendra and Sterling left before our pictures...but they were there!

Is it okay that our 5 month old baby is already watching movies? He hasn't told me yet but I really do think he might love it!

Since I didn't get pics of Nixon in his blessing outfit on his actual blessing day we did it today instead. Hopefully I will get some professional pictures in his blessing outfit before he grows out of it but I thought it would be nice to take a few myself.

Today we did what we always do on Sundays in Nephi, eat drink and be merry! My mom's family was camping as well, so the Morgan's did make a typical token appearance! (We aren't much into camping like the rest of the bunch...I don't know what happened with us!)

Well that is that!! We finally got our computer fixed and we are getting the internet this week so I will be able to post at my house now! That will save you all from reading mile long posts!! Hope all is well!

Happy Labor Day! :o)
