Colton's Blessing and Sarah's visit

We finally blessed baby Colton in church last Sunday. If we had waited any longer, he wouldn't have fit into his blessing outfit! Jake has had to work the last couple of fast Sundays so we had to keep pushing it off. Fortunately, it fell on the same weekend my sister Sarah was in town! Colton did great...it was a very beautiful blessing.
It was so nice to have my sister Sarah in town for the blessing. My boys loved, loved having her here just as much as I did! We still can't get Colton to giggle like she could! After church we had a little open house and invited a few friends from our ward over. I couldn't have done it without Sarah's help!

Since we moved to Michigan, the ward has been so warm and welcoming to us. We have already made some really good friends. Although we don't have family in Michigan, it has been comforting to have such awesome friends from our ward!
Luke was sad to see his Aunt Sarah go. For days after she left, he kept saying he didn't want Sarah to go to the airport!

Sarah and I had some well deserved girl time while she was here! We went and got pedicures, went out to lunch, went to a movie, did a little shopping, got a couple redbox movies, went out to dinner and did a little more shopping! She is such a beautiful, fun, sweet sister and friend!

Thank you for coming Sarah, we loved having you here! Visitors welcome...anyone else want to come visit?!

Amy! You look soo pretty in all of these pictures! The pictures also made me sad(well happy for you) you have NEW FRIENDS and your ward was so warm and welcoming. I hate to admit it but the church really is kinda different outside of the "mormon bubble". Congrats on having a beautiful baby blessing, and how lucky you were to have your sister come out and visit!!! I always wanted sisters!

Hey! I am so glad you have found such cute friends, just as long as I haven't been replaced. Colton looks so cute in his blessing outfit, and you look BEAUTIFUL! I sure do miss you and really need a friend to eat chocolate chip cookies and drink diet cokes with. Come back!!
