Photo catch up

"Parents everywhere realize that the most powerful combination of emotions in the world is not called out by any grand cosmic event, nor is it found in novels or history books, but merely by a parent gazing down upon a sleeping child." Thomas S. Monson
Bracken always holds his head up and looks around with his wide eyes as if he doesn't want to miss a thing. And when people are around and we put him down for a nap. . . well, he wants out of bed because he doesn't want to miss anything then either.

Bracken loves it when I bounce on my exercise ball with him.

Blessing Day

This weekend Bracken got to meet his Grandpa Rob, Grandma Sue and Aunt Kristi for the first time. They came up to spend Easter with us and for Bracken's baby blessing. On Saturday we drove up to Richfield and joined my family for the day. We had a treasure hunt and an easter egg hunt, played games, ate good food and watched "Bolt." One of the highlights of the day was when Linsy and Caleb announced they are expecting a baby! She made cupcakes with letters on them spelling out "Baby Coming November 3rd." We are all excited for them!
It was fun having so much of our family together for Bracken's blessing.
