Blessing

My little family has been blessed in so many ways and Callum is probably the biggest and the best blessing in my life.  I don't know how I lived without him.  He is such a joy, and it has been so fun to see him grow and to see how cute Brigham is with him.  I am very blessed to have them both in my life, and I love them both so much!

This week both of my Brother's-in-Law from out of town are here, so we have had a busy few days.  Gary and Kellie ran the Moab half marathon on Saturday and then drove straight up here after.  On Sunday was my nephew Andrew's farewell, he is leaving on his mission to Cuernavaca Mexico on March 30, 2011.  While everyone was here, we also decided to have the Forrest Family pictures taken and it was really fun!  We had them taken at Wheeler Farm by Stephanie West and she did a great job.

We are funny :)

 
I love my In-Laws!!!
So tired after getting pictures taken... isn't his outfit cute, he is such a little stud!

We also decided to have Callum blessed, and we wanted to do it at home for a couple of reasons; we are still trying to be very careful of where we take Callum so he doesn't get sick, RSV could be fatal for him this year if he gets it, and we wanted it to just be our family.  So Gary and Wendy Stapley were kind enough to let us use their house and he was blessed on Tuesday March 22, 2011 (the same day we had our pictures taken... it was an exhausting day).  It was so beautiful and Brigham did a wonderful job!  I am so grateful to be a part of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and that I am blessed, once again, to be married to a worthy priesthood holder who could give our son such a wonderful blessing.

Bonus of having a home blessing... Pictures!

My momma with Callum, she just got back from Cabo, so she is super tan

 This little outfit is so cute, Wendy Forrest let me borrow it.  It is the same one that my nephew Duncan wore.


My AWESOME boys



 John loves this baby!  and Callum loves to be held like this



Happy Blessing Day Bud!  You are officially Callum John Forrest!  Love you, you are the best part of my life :)
