Baby blessing,wedding and more

The first part of my post is of Aniston's baby blessing. Zach gave one of the most beautiful blessings I have ever heard, and overall it was such a sacred and special day for our family. I love having the addition of my gorgeous neice into our family! She has been so fun and such a joy to be around. It's been really fun to see her grow up into being such a cute and healthy baby! She is even giggling now!(It's a little hard for me to not be a 'baby hog') Here are some of the pictures that I was able to get at the blessing...

p.s. Sorry for the ugly yellow dates posted on the bottom of our pictures. I just removed it so hopefully there won't be any more of them in our pictures to come :)

Baby Aniston looked so adorable! Nessa and Zach bought her such a gorgeous dress! You can't really see it to well in this picture but it was so dang cute!

The family- it was so nice to have so many people there to share such a special day!

Grandma and baby Aniston, both looking so beautiful

Just 'chilling' with both grandma's

Dad and Mom- it was so funny during these pictures because Aniston was getting really tired from her big day.. so slowly you will see her eyes getting lower throughout these pictures(by the way my camera was a bit slow at taking pictures so these next pictures aren't very good quality but I thought that quality shoudn't matter over memories :)

Great Grandma and Grandpa Stephens

Zach's parents

The proud parents... this is when baby Aniston was done for the day :)

Later that night after her nap she was trying to talk to me- it was the cutest thing!

Then she crashed for the very last time next to her grandpa

Then later on during the week Oli and I set up our tent (in the kitchen). I don't think you are ever to old to be doing these things!It was so fun to play games all night and eat dinner with just the two of us and our tent :)

Ike and Jessica's wedding was on January 8th! It was a cute wedding and we are happy for the two of them!

Jack, the handsome bugger :)

Then Oli and I went ice skating at one of the parks in Logan. It was so fun to go ice skating outdoors! It was so romantic yet really fun to be with a bunch of people enjoying nature while ice skating!

Oli is doing a trick here... but it really looks like he is going to fall(which he did :)

After picture.. my hair was frozen! It was funny because when we went home and Oli had some good bruises (not from falling ofcourse :) and both of our ankles lost some skin from the ice skates rubbing against them. We skated for so long and it was such a fun evening to be outside and skate!

Then I thought these pictues were a little funny. Since the new semester has started, I am taking a required music class that teaches you how to teach your students how to play basic instruments. So ofcourse one of the most basic instruments is the recorder. And yes I have to practice it to get good enough to play solos in front of the class. So let's just say we have a few laughs around our home when I pull out the recorder and start 'squeaking away'.

Oli had to try it out... and of course he couldn't help making fun of the way I play it:)

So there you have it!Have a wonderful day!
