Blessing Sister Sadie

My parents were in town for a long weekend visit. We did a lot of fun things while they were here, but the most memorable thing was blessing Sadie. My Mom picked out this pretty little frock and brought it all the way from the Beehive State. I think she looks like a little pioneer with that cute little bonnet. I didn't get any close ups, but my friend Julie made these adorable booties that were perfect for the occasion. Doesn't she look sweet?

As always, I was running a bit late for church. Who wouldn't be with a newborn and 9 o'clock church? Did I mention we don't have a church around every corner like out west? It takes about 15 minutes on a good day to get there. John decided to leave early to "get a good seat." I'm glad he did because even with the superior race car like skills I used that day, I pulled into the parking lot it at 8:59! I'm glad we made it just in time. John gave Sadie a beautiful blessing. It was a perfect Father's Day.

Let the Chaos Begin!

Yesterday Maxers finished preschool. They celebrated on Wednesday by holding a graduation ceremony for the class. Thanks to paternity leave, John was able to attend. The funniest part was that Max kept calling it his con-graduation.....you know, it's when you congratulate people on graduating?

I'm sure every Mom feels this way, but Max has grown and learned so much over the last year it is amazing. Gone are the days of grunting, frustration and Chewbacca sounds. (wookie speak)He now knows all of his letters and sounds and numbers up to 10. This probably might not seem impressive to most, but considering where he was a year ago I consider it a miracle!

Jackson finishes his last day of school today. He managed to talk his Dad into bringing him lunch from Chipotle. We are so grateful that John has a few days off to spend some extra time with boys....they might get neglected otherwise! Both of my boys can't wait for summer to begin. I on the other hand have a few mixed emotions. This summer is going to be crazy!!

Bring on the summer chaos!!

In other news.....

Sadie turned one week old on Wednesday. That day she received her first jewelry from her Aunt Sarah! Thanks Aunt S. How cute is that? All I know is that if she is getting jewelry when she is only one week old, we are in trouble! This is going to get expensive!
