Blessed.
Sometimes I just feel so blessed. Even if life isn't exactly how I wished it would be, sometimes I just get this overwhelming feeling of my Savior's love. I felt this way this weekend. We had family up for Blaise's baptism, and so much love filled this home. We had 11 people here over the weekend and we all stayed up late and all woke up early, just so we could spend more time together, and less time sleeping. I know I am blessed because of the family the Lord gave me.
We had 11 people in our home this weekend and it was a blast. We all stayed up late and woke up early, just so we could have more fun together. My Grandma and Aunt Debbie came up from California and I feel so lucky that my children are building the same loving relationship with them that I had with them when I was little. The kids LOVED playing chase with their Aunt Debbie and Ava loved going up to "G-G-ma's" room every morning and have a little chat with her. It was so cute to see the two of them conversing!
And of course we always LOVE when we get to spend time with my Mom and Dad. The kids think a visit from them is better than Disneyland. They were always right by their side, trying to convince one of them to swing, walk, ride bikes, color, talk, watch TV, ANYTHING as long as they were with Bapa and Bama. Ava found a new "Myrtel" partner. She would practically sit on top of my Dad and watch TV with him, or talk with him or read a book. That was HER spot! She would look for him when he was gone, and every time her Bama would walk in the room she would run full speed up to her and jump into her arms. They really love Bama and Bapa!
We also have one of Jason's best friends and his wife staying with us. The kids LOVE them, sometimes I think they like them more than us! :) I feel so blessed to be surrounded by friends and family this weekend. I am overcome with joy at the knowledge that my kids are loved and cared for by so many people. This home was filled to the rim with love, laughter, joking, tickling and bonding this weekend. 
Thank you all for coming up to Blaise's baptism. It meant a lot to him to have you here for his big day. And it was a fun weekend! What does

This weekend sounds like a BLAST!!! You got some great pictures of everyone having fun together. I wish we could've been there, but soon enough we won't have to miss anything any more.
Sorry, those deleted comments are from me. Some how I ended up posting my comment 3 times...oops!
Such a great weekend! Tai Pan is to die for! Hope we can get back up soon to see everyone and go to Tai Pan! I really enjoyed seeing everyone and meeting Dave and Anne. They are both so nice...thanks for the hospitality!
