Jace's Blessing

So I am finally writing about Jace's blessing. I haven't been keeping up to date on my blog, but at least I am posting now. Jace was blessed almost a month ago. We went to my parents house to do it because it was a nice middle meeting spot for everyone that was wanting to come. His proud dad blessed him and it was beautiful. Also this blessing weekend was pretty crazy. The day before the blessing Joe started to have an alergic reaction to something or maybe not even something, but he face swelled completely. Poor guy. We're still not sure why. We were blessing Jace on Sun morning at 9 and Joe's face was way bad by sat night so we went to the new emergency room where he received some attention and a big ol shot. However he woke up that next morning with an even more swollen face and more of a rash all over his face. So I decided I would run over to the hospital again and see what we should do (this was at about 8:30 am). The doctor prescribed some more perscription for Joe to pick up when we got back up north that afternoon. So by the time I got back it was about 9:30. So I just threw on my dress pulled my hair back and we blessed Jace. It was pretty crazy which explains why Joe looks the way he does and why I look the way I do. But overall, once everyone was situated and we started the blessing it was beautiful. But at least Jace looked cute!

My sister sent me this! In her words, "sad but true"

Yay for Jace!

Jace has gotten better and better at hand eye cordination! Every day he seems to get better instead of just flailing his arms hoping he hits something. Today for the first time he reached up and grabbed and played with this toy that hangs down. There's a picture below. I was so happy and sad all at the same time. I was proud that he's developing how he needs to but sad that my newborn is gone. But mostly I am happy for him.

Cousin Army Recruit

So a couple of years ago my oldest Nephew Hayden put together this little thing with all my neices and nephews called the "Cousin Army." It is the cutest thing ever. Hayden had made shirts for all of them. He even gave them positions like, he is the president and general, and another one of my nephews is the vice president and the girls are the nurses. So when Jace was born Hayden made new shirts and even made a little onesie for Jace. Hayden is such a good oldest cousin. It really touches me that he likes include all his little cousins in things. Especially Jace being so young from all the other boys, but what touches me the most is that they decided on their own to dedicate the army to my older brother who passed away at age 15. There's even a little bage on their shirt in the upper left hand corner that has the year he was born and died and his initials. :)
Here is Jace in his cousin army onesie.

And this is an older picture of the "Cousin Army" about a year and a half ago.

BYU Fans

This past weekend we were invited over to Deco and Kera Lyman's to watch the BYU football gmae. It was so fun even though the game wasn't all that exciting because we creamed them. I think I watched all of maybe 2 minutes of the whole game. It was just fun to chat and talk about new parenting. Also, it was way too cute to see the two babies together. At one point they had the same due date.

Newest BYU fan in the fam.

Joe looks so excited! haha

Watching the game :)

The two babies together!

This one is my favorite! It looks like they are trying to hold hands, but are trying to hide it.
