Blessings

This Sunday was Calin's baby blessing. Jordan's dad flew in Thursday night; Matt, Mickie and Ty got here Friday night; Nate, Kelly, Tanner, and Dallin came up on Saturday. We had so much fun with everyone here! The weather has been so cold, and we weren't able to do too much, but just being all together was a blast! We did go bowling Saturday, and Matt, Mickie, Jordan and Steve watched the BYU game at the REX (movie theater in town).
Calin did so great on Sunday for his blessing! He didn't make a peep while Jordan gave him the blessing, and he was wonderful for pictures afterwards!
Our ward meets in the stake center by the Rexburg temple, so it made a good backdrop for our photos :)
Here's a picture of the guys who stood in the circle for the blessing. Our bishop and friend Scott also were there, but didn't make it for the picture.
Picture of Grandpa Spence with his son's and grandsons (we sure missed Braden this weekend!!)
All of us with our families. I can't believe how well all the kids did for pictures! It looks like a nice sunny day, but it was very very chilly!!
I think it is so fun seeing the cousins together! Tanner is so cute how he just loves his little baby TyTy and baby Calin cousins! He loved holding Calin! Though Calin wasn't too sure about it. He kept smiling, then crying, then he'd smile again, and then cry. In this picture you can really see how Calin has lost almost all his hair. It's growing back, but it's too short and blonde to see in any pictures.
This picture is so funny cause it's totally opposite for both boys! Usually Calin is the one crying and Ty is super chill and happy. But if you watched the video in THIS post then you know how Calin LOVES the mobile in his crib. And when it's on, the can't stop "dancing." So when we put them in there together Calin started dancing, and kept hitting Ty. Ty was not too happy with his little cousin.

Calin will be so much bigger next time we see him! Ty might even be crawling! Sheesh they grow up so fast.
