Crazy weekend!

Warning LONG blog
This is Arlee bug in her blessing dress
We did these pictures a few days before, and I decided that I didn't like this bow so she wore a flower instead!

This past Sunday Arlee was blessed at church. It was a very special weekend for us! We had a great weekend. It was so fun to have most of our family here. We had all my brothers and sisters here except for Kevin, but his kids were here! All of Flint's family was here except for DeAnn's family who lives in Seattle (We missed you!). THANKS everyone for coming, some of you traveled a long ways. It means a lot to us! We are so thankful to have such a great family! We figured that we had over 60 people here for dinner! HUGE thanks to Lisa and Spencer Stant for ALL that they did, the kalua pig was amazing, thanks also to the Allred family (my sister)Maurine you did it all! I owe you big! Thanks to everyone who helped out! We have the greatest friends and family! Of course we didn't take very many pictures at the dinner, but here are a few...

Here is a picture of Cooper riding his bike while he waiting for the Allreds and Grandma and Grandpa Haymore to come so we could go out to eat dinner on Friday night( for my b-day). I swore that my kids whould never have a snotty nose and they would always look decent... well not today! Flint sent him in the house to get his shoes on and this is what he came out with...froggie boots, then he was riding his bike and the sun was in his eyes so he got his swim goggles on to to keep the sun out of his eyes!!! Gotta love it! He makes me laugh everyday!
Since Flint and my birthdays are only five days apart we decided to go to the Cubs/Diamondback's spring training game to celebrate. We had second row seats, thanks to the Redwings! We love the D-backs and had a great time at the game. I was a little sad that I didn't get to see Eric Burnes, he is my favorite...he didn't even play, some punk from AAA or AA was in left field...how disappointing! Here are a few pics-

I love your hair Jan! The pictures of your family are all beautiful! One of my favorites is all of you looking at Arlee, but there were lots of others I loved as well. Is that white flower headband in the slide show the one she wore for her blessing. I really liked that one. Can't wait to come see her :)

Okay so I have a lot of comments
-Your hair looks fantastic!
-Arlee is even more adorable than when I saw her last, I didn't even think that was possible cuz she was already such a precious little doll! She is just so beautiful and so darn cute!!!
-I really wish I could've come to the blessing, G was working though and I just didn't have it in me to travel again solo with the girls (I know...lame!)
-I love love love the family pics on the bed! Great idea! And the ones with you all looking at Arlee are to die for! But they are all awesome!
-Happy (late) Birthday to you and Flint!

What great pictures. Arlee is really adorable. I love the cut and color, it really suits you. It is so cool that so many of your family were able to be there for her blessing!!

She looks beautiful! I am so sorry we didn't make it. Jaedyn was sick and then we all ended up sick the rest of the week. Lisa mentioned the girls night, I told her I probably couldn't do it that night because we babysit. But let me know if the 20th is the day for sure and I will see if we can babysit on Saturday instead of Friday night. I would love to get together with you guys!
