This past weekend was so much fun and went way TOO fast!! The week leading up to it was just as busy trying to get everything prepared. Jared was really busy... not home at all and always working, coaching, and such so I was on my own. Yet, I must say I did pretty darn good. I wanted it to be perfect for my boys' first big event...their Baptism. So, I started making a list last week as to what I NEEDED to do or get done and what I wanted to get done. I went day by day and got most of the things I wanted to get done, done. I had some help from a friend at work as well as Brandon and Cassie. Thank you so much! I wanted pictures hung on our walls since we have been in our house now since October and the walls were still bare. I know many of you may think, you have been a little busy which is all true, but I still wanted it done. Yes we moved in October 27th and Nov. 12th I was in the hospital on bed rest, had the boys on Nov. 26th and they were in the hospital forever, but I still wanted our house to look like a home. Sometimes it is good to have events or parties at your house because it makes you get stuff done!
Anyways, on to our event filled weekend. On friday, Alison, mom, Kristy and the kids came to hang out for the weekend and stay with us. That night, we ordered pizza and hung out by the fire and made smores. Saturday, we had a little more to do in preparation for Sunday's Baptism, but mainly we just hung out and got ready for the next crew to come in on Saturday night. Jared's entire family came in on that night, so we grilled out and again made smore smores. The weather this past weekend was so AWESOME!!! It was nice to be outside and we even took the boys out some when they were awake.
Then the BIG day came for the boys. We were so excited as were they! They did great in church as they slept most of the time and then woke up to eat right when it was time for their Baptism (which I knew may happen). I will add some pictures soon, my camera is dead and can't find the charger. We had a house full of family and friends ( I think I counted more than 45). The day even included the first-ever kick ball game on the Bodammer Pitch. It was a pretty classy event as we used empty cases of beer as the bases! It was so nice that so many people were able to be a part of the day. For everyone who traveled for the weekend or the day.... THANK YOU! We had a such a great time and missed the family and friends that couldn't make it, but understand people can't make everything! We are so blessed to have such amazing family and group of friends and so blessed to have our healthy baby boys! God is GREAT!
It is always so hard when everyone leaves. I hate to see everyone go home and we have to go back to work, but it makes the next time we are all together something to look forward to. It also is a reminder not to take these moments for granted.
