Taysom's Blessing

Today we blessed our sweet little baby, Taysom.

We were so honored to have so many family and friends come to support us. It was a fun week-end which started with my mom coming up Thursday night to watch our kids Friday morning. We were able to attend the sealing of our awesome babysitter of six years! She looked so beautiful and we were excited that we could be there with her to share in her special day!!

Later that night we (the kids and I) ran into Tiffany's wedding reception, then dashed off to a hotel here in Jerome to go swimming with my brothers girlfriend and my nephew, Weston. The kids had a blast and it thoroughly wore them out!! 

Saturday, we ran errands and welcomed more family and friends into town! Dinner was spent at Golden Corral and we enjoyed some one on one time with our friends, Sarah, Stu and their beautiful daughter, Hannah! 

Sunday morning we attended our ward and Vaughn gave such a beautiful blessing to Taysom. It was a special experience and Drew was old enough to understand what was going on and asked lots of questions about the whys and hows. It was awesome!

Sarah has made each of my kids a baby sampler! They are all so amazing and has put so much time and effort into all of them!! 

Along the wall is FIL Richard, Vaughn's brothers, Scott & Aaron and his wife, Jana.

I'm not sure why, but this blessing dinner was the most relaxed one yet. I didn't feel any pressure to make sure everyone was happy and had what they needed. Thanks to all those that bore that pressure for me!

After the company all went home we were able to just sit back and relax for a bit. Taysom has been starting to stay awake for longer periods of time, so it was a good time to take some pictures of him in his blessing outfit.  

Thank you to all the came and gave us support on Taysom's special day! It means so much to us and we appreciate it so much! Especially, those who traveled from afar!!
