One blessed baby

Greyson was blessed on Valentine's Day because he is our little love! ♥ He's also a little stud so he wore a suit to be blessed in. Because baby blessings are wonderful and important events, and because there were some family members who hadn't met Greyson yet, we had a houseful of fun! Lupe & Ron flew in from New Jersey, Selena and Jeremy and cousin Ian (who is a mere 6 weeks older than G) flew in from Oregon, and Ashley and then fiancĂ© Kendall drove down from Wyoming. We had seven adults and two babies sleeping in our two bedroom apartment! It was a home of happiness!
Tyler gave Greyson his blessing and Greyson was surrounded by a whole circle of support! Grandpa Ron, Great-Uncle Ray, Great-Grandpa Jim, Uncle Jeremy, Uncle Kendall, Grandpa Gary, Uncle Jon, Uncle Colby, Papa Coach, Uncle Matt, Uncle Toby, Uncle Jer, Great-Grandpa Smith, friend Joseph, and Bishop Richards were in the circle. Gresyon was really good and didn't cry during the blessing, and we were glad. However, I cried through almost the whole thing. It was very touching.

While everyone was here, we also did some dress shopping.

We dressed up the cousins to match.

We trapped people in the bathroom with the lovesac.

Then we made them do gymnastics to get out.

We played with the babies.

We played a whole lotta Bejewled on our iTouches/iPhones.

We also did a lot more not photographically documented. We ate lots of delicious meals and watched the Olympics and enjoyed each other's company and lost a cell phone and met a photographer with squawking birds and went to Tooele and got a parking ticket and stayed up late with a crying baby and stayed up late talking and shopped all over and went to the Family History Center in SLC and went to the grocery store and all sorts of other unnameable kinds of fun. Families are blessings and we were so glad to be surrounded by them.
