Aaron's Blessing

Aaron was blessed yesterday. It was such a wonderful day!! Both of our families came down to be with us. Brian gave Aaron such a beautiful blessing. He is such a good dad. Aaron was so good too. He's been my best baby. I hope he stays that way. Thanks to our families for coming. They had to leave so early to be here by 9 a.m. and we appreciate it so much. We both have such wonderful families and love them so much. Thanks to everyone!

My family. My brother Jason and his wife, Kristin, and their two boys, Graham and Jonah. My mom and dad and my little sis Britt and her husband Josh. They came all the way from Seattle!! Okay so they just happened to be here for his brothers wedding, but we like to think it was just for us! We missed my other two sisters and their families, but hopefully we'll see you two soon!

Brian's family. His brother Geoff and his wife Heidi and their little boy Tucker and his mom and dad. Thanks everyone for coming!!

Aaron was all smiles after we got home. He is smiling so much and it is so cute. He has a cute little dimple just like Quincee!

4 Things I adore about my Husband?
1.how he makes me laugh!! Brian has the best sense of humor. I have to say that that is one of the first things that attracted me to him was how funny he was. A day never goes by that he doesn't make me laugh. Some might not always get his humor and that makes it that much funnier to me. Sometime I think he might just be funnier then me....!=)
2.The way he plays with the girls. Sometimes he can be just another kid. I love watching him do "girl things". He doesn't really have a choice, but he loves it. The girls are constantly wanting dad to play. I love hearing their squeals because daddy is tickling them. He's such a good dad!
3.how he finds time to do everything. Brian is a very hard worker. Now that he's gone back to school I've realized it a little more of what a hard worker he is. From putting all that time into his lessons, to staying up til the wee hours of the morning studying, just to wake up an hour or two later to hold a crying baby, church callings and of course finding the time to spend with us. And he never complains!
4.his knowledge of the gospel.That might sound funny, but I love it. Brian knows everything when it comes to the gospel(at least I think he does!). Of course he studies it for a living, and he absolutely loves it. But I am amazed at all he knows. I think he is absolutely the best!!

The Latest

Things have been kind of busy with a new baby and school starting, so I haven't had much time to blog. So here are some recent pics of the kids and happenings around our place.

This is one of two watermelons we grew in our garden. They were so good! We were pretty proud of ourselves, since watermelons are pretty hard to grow down here in Delta.

And this is our big pumpkin! It was growing so good, but something came along and killed all of our pumpkins. We were pretty bumed. It would of gotten even bigger. I love having a garden. Since I've had the baby though it doesn't look very pretty. The weeds are bigger then the plants. Next year will be better.

Aaron is getting so big. I've tried to enjoy the baby stage as much as I can. The girls are getting so old and it goes by so fast, so with him I'm trying to enjoy the time we are in. I'm in no hurry for him to grow up.

He is such a good baby. He is starting to smile. Especially when Quinc is around. He loves his big sister.

I had to post this picture because he looks so fat. It helps that his clothes are to big and it looks like he has a double chin. My kids are so scrawny, hopefully he'll be a little bigger then the girls were.

Cait likes to read(pretend anyway) while she eats. She is so funny. She really likes to watch Annie and she calls me "mommy Hannigan". I'm really not that mean, at least I don't think I am!!
Quinc and here little burrito. She is such a big helper with Aaron.

This is how we spent Labor Day. Doing pretty much nothing. Bri built a tent out of blankets for the girls, he and Quinc went on a bike ride and then she helped mow the lawn. She loves being with her daddy! We had a nice lazy day.
