Oliver's Blessing


On the 6th of September we celebrated Father's Day, and we were also able to celebrate Oliver's Blessing day. It was exciting to have all Oliver's grand parents there and also his Aunty Amy and his cousins Elijah, Jesse and Caleb. They also had fun staying with us (staying up late playing the wii with uncle Dan!) and Zeek loved having some cousins to play with. One morning I walked downstairs with Oliver to find all the boys watching a dvd, Zeek sitting in his high chair eating toast.... AND no mess in the kitchen. I was stoked!
Dan gave Oliver a beautiful blessing and he was assisted by our bishop, his koro and his grandad. In the rush of getting him ready, we forgot Zeeks church bag. So, no books, no cars, and no drawing made Zeek a restless little boy and wasn't wanting to have his photo taken after sacrament meeting.
After church we celebrated with family and friends at the park across the road from us - minus wayne who managed to injure himself early in the day trying to kick a football, who then found himself lying on the couch for the rest of the afternoon!









Love the booties..... they were also the ones Dan wore for his blessing!
Love this photo. He looks so beautiful in this one..... well I think so:)





Check out the cake Amy decorated.... it was awesome!

Haha. I think Zeek is missing Eli too. Every time he sees a kid with blonde curly hair (even a picture) he says E-I! Too cute. Even when Paul and Rach came with the kids the night before we left he saw Max and said E-I!
