The Utah Van Camp's

This post is dedicated to Brian, Ashley, and Kylie :) I only posted "a-pproooved" pictures ;) Thanks for coming all the way from Utah to visit. We're so glad you could be there for Alan's baby blessing. It wouldn't have been the same without you. You got two baby blessings for the price of one and got to meet 4 new nieces and nephews: Allison, Derek, Alan, and Cienna! Talk about bang for your buck. We're so glad the weather cooperated and we took advantage by having a fun day at the park. Thanks for all your help with the blog, blessing, watching Alan so we could vote, shower, etc. We loved having you stay with us and miss you guys already. We love you and look forward to visiting you soon in Utah.

Here's Kylie enjoying the slide at the park. Looking forward to these moments with our little guy!

Here's her daddy Brian enjoying the slide too. Brad's looking forward to reliving his childhood as well!

Super cute daddy/daughter moment. Family makes it all worth it!

Alan's Baby Blessing

We were so fortunate to be surrounded by family and friends on the occasion of Alan's baby blessing. Literally surrounded in the comforts of our cozy little home! We prepared just enough Stouffer's lasagna to feed 24 but that night we had our very own Miracle in Cana and managed to have plenty for 40 people (17 of which were children under the age of 8). I didn't get the courage to invite members of the church till the day of and they were all kind enough to come. We had a wonderful time and our hearts were touched by the strong spirit felt during the blessing. I have great pictures to share from that night but forgot to get more of Alan in his blessing outfit. We'll be going in to a portrait studio this month to get a few of him in his outfit and will be sure to share those as well.
