Brighton's Blessing


The last weekend in July we took off and went to Laramie for Brighton's baby blessing. I left with the kids on Friday morning and then Matt met us there on Saturday. It was great to relax and visit with everyone. We couldn't get enough of holding Brighton and another little girl that Grandma was babysitting! The kids also love playing with Grandma and Grandpa, building blocks and of course tons of Bagatelle!








Saturday afternoon we got to go to the splash park and celebrate Dylan and Chloe's birthdays! It was so fun to be with Jackson and his kiddos for their party! We had fun seeing Brian and Abby and their families too....with Grandma and Grandpa there of course. The kids had a blast will all the cousins that were there! Thanks D and C for letting us celebrate with you!









Sunday morning was Brighton's blessing! It was great to go to the old Baker Street building again. Usually when we go to Laramie we go to Grandma and Grandpa's ward at the stake center. It was fun to tell Kaylee and Taylor that they used to go to that building every Sunday and show Kaylee her nursery etc. We were able to see so many old friends and old Bishops that have meant the world to me and Matt and the Hoopes family! We also met new friends in that ward too! ;) We sure love Laramie and the people there!

DJ's family couldn't come until Sunday, so every minute with them was precious! We had a great picnic at Abby and Cody's house. Yes, it rained on us, but we had a blast! I had a lot of fun taking pictures of them running around outside in the rain and then coming inside. The kids are all growing up too fast so I really wanted to get some great shots of them together!!






Abby has such a cute family! Her 2 boys look exactly alike and are so sweet! We had fun being able to hold our new cousin and play with Oakley! It's fun now that Oakley and Thomas are getting older...they had fun giggling and rough housing a little! It will be fun to watch them grow up together! Congratulations Abby, Cody, Oakley and Brighton! We love you!!
