A Name and a Blessing

Over the weekend we were blessed to have so much family in town as we celebrated Paxton, and his blessing. My family was the first to arrive, followed by Austin's family, Jason, Nell and Wade. This was the first time that Austin's family got to meet little Paxton. It was so fun, and kind of crazy at times cramming everyone into our little apartment to just enjoy time together as a family :)

On Friday, my friend Sadie was so nice to come take some last minute family pictures for us. These are just a few of my favorites :)
 I can't even begin to describe how much I love these boys!! 
Everyone getting to meet and hold Paxton for the first time!
Wade didn't get in until later Saturday, so earlier that day we all took a walk down to the park to feed ducks, and play at the park!
Apparently the ducks didn't want to be fed at that time, so we fed the fish instead haha
Getting a ride home from Uncle Austin
The girls were dying to go swimming at the pool, even though the water was a little chilly :)
Sunday was the big day! Paxton looked absolutely adorable in his blessing outfit. Austin gave a beautiful and very touching blessing. He was even able to make it through without getting too emotional. Pax was great and didn't even cry :D It was so surreal listening to Austin bless Paxton, and knowing that he is our son. I hope that throughout his life we will strive to be the best parents, and examples we can be to raise him close to our Heavenly Father.
The whole fam!
 Love my son :) 
 Afterwards we had a nice lunch hanging out with family and friends
 I think Brookie enjoyed the cupcakes haha
 Before leaving Paxton decided to show off some smiles for the family, and my dad was able to catch a few pics! 
 Paxton being Paxton haha His blue steel model pose ;)
 Cousins!! :D
The weekend went by way too fast, and we were sad to see everyone go... Luckily we have the holidays coming up right around the corner, so we know we will get to see everyone again soon :D
