The following are quotes from Aiden when he was here earlier this month. I love that little boy.
(While talking to Isaac about how he shouldn't put a toy in his mouth because it might be dirty and then we'd have to clean his mouth:) "And use soap on my tongue? That would be icky. We never do that, dad."
(While at the hotel where the guys stayed, talking with my dad about the little kitchen in their hotel room and motioning to the fridge:) "Food comes down when you're not looking. And it goes back up when you are looking."
(While sitting on the sliding foot rest for our ottoman:) "I'm king of the mountain and a tiger."
(After my dad says he doesn't want to go outside with Aiden on the porch because it's cold:) "You can put on a jacket."
My dad: "Where's your jacket?"
Aiden: "I'm not cold. I don't need a jacket."
(After I told him not to play with our folding chairs:) "I'm not going to play with them; I'm just making a tent."

Emma's baby blessing weekend
I'm behind on blogging, I know. I started to do this blog and then realized I didn't know how exactly to describe what a baby blessing is in my church. Anyway. Here's my post:
It's so nice to have family visit. =) Earlier this month, Emma turned one month and was given her baby blessing at church the following Sunday. (For anyone who doesn't know, a baby blessing - as I understand it - is given to officially recognize a baby's name to add to church records and also to give other blessings as the person giving the blessing receives promptings through the Spirit of God; the blessing is given by a man - usually the father, as was the case with Emma - holding the baby and other men who hold the priesthood standing with him in a circle.)
Bry's sister Allison and her family came up from Portland. Bry's aunt and uncle came up from Dallas, Oregon (not Texas). The guys from my family came from California - my dad, Isaac, Patrick, and even Aiden.
Here are some pictures with Emma in her blessing dress.
