Skiing

Noah was able to get a ski pass with Grandpa Rob this year and he went for the first time on Saturday. Mark was in town to go with him, also Aunt Karen, Uncle Mike and Aunt Alaina joined in the fun. He had so much fun, they all said he was a natural. He can't wait to go again, hopefully the rain falling outside is putting some snow in the mountains so he can go again before next year.

This first video as taken early in the day, I think I wasn't there. Huge thanks to Grandpa for teaching Noah.

Up the magic carpet

 Sometimes you fall down but apparently Noah just got back up and kept going. I am proud of this kid, he got his skiing skills from his Dads side.

He got so comfortable they even went down "the big mountain" as Noah called it. It wasn't the big mountain but he got to ride the ski lift and was bigger than the bunny hill, he would just hold grandpas hand and go down. 

In the afternoon Jessie and I took the girl up to get Noah. He wanted to show us what he learned, he was so confident it was pretty neat to see. The last video Mark took of the day is below

Our photographer was in town last week so we had her snap some pictures of Lily in her blessing dress. Both her dress and her little booties were made by my Grandma S. It is so special to me that she was able to wear something made just for her by her great grandma, I can't wait till she is old enough to under how special it truly is. I can't decide which pictures I like the best so you'll have to scroll through lots of them or just close the post because there are lots of pictures and no more words :)

 

 

Big thanks to Grandma & Granddad H for letting us use their house for pictures! Now the hard part which one do I print for my wall??

Blessing

Yesterday was a wonderful day in our family. Lilian was given a name and a blessing by the her Dad. It was such a wonderful thing to listen as he used the priesthood to bless our sweet Lily.

Lily was fortunate enough to have 3 great-grandpas, 2 grandpas and 2 loving uncles with her. Our bishop, bishop Dodd and friend in the ward Travis Parry also stood in on the blessing. Lily was blessed to be supported by her family and be a support to her family, to remember she is a daughter of God and to have an eternal family someday along with other wonderful blessings.
Afterwards granddad and grandma H let us have a brunch at their house since no way we would all fit in our apartment. We were able to snap a few pictures also. My dad had to leave after the blessing to return to their ward to fulfill his calling but I was able to snap a quick picture of him and Lily before church started.
