Nixon's Blessing

Sunday was Nix's blessing. We got up early to fix a few last minute things for our little lunch afterwards and got ready. Here is Nixon in his cute little outfit. What's with the bib??? Oh, if you haven't met our babies, then you don't know about the excessive spitting... Whenever I put a cute outfit on and we are heading anywhere, the bib must be worn until we are actually at the event. :) It works, so we do it. Sadly... I didn't think to take a normal pic of his outfit and it doesn't really show much in any of the pictures so after we will have to do a little photo shoot before he grows out of it.

So, we got to church early... which probably hasn't happened since Deakon was born. Kyle gave an awesome blessing and it was really great to have so many of our friends and family there. I absolutely love listening to Kyle give blessings. His voice sounds completely calm, soothing, gentle, and full of love- especially as he has blessed our boys. The guys that helped: Kyle, Ron, Scott, Glen, Dan, Andrew, Jason, and Tyler. I better ask Kyle if I am forgetting anyone... my memory is def not the best these days. So, funny story. During the opening prayer Nix was sending out some major sounds. I looked at Kyle and appologized thinking that he had filled his pants and Kyle would have to take him up there to stink up the whole place. Well, turns out it was just gas. BUT... he did take a nice big, loud poop during the blessing and every hand got to feel it! All the guys were red faced and trying not to laugh as they rushed back to their seats and Kyle grabbed the diaper bag and took off.
Afterwards, we went back to our place for some yummy food. Thank you everyone, especially Ron and Doreen, for bringing food!

And some cute pics of his fatness. I weighed myself and them him this morning (he is 5 weeks today) and he weighs approx. 13 lbs. We all have Dr. appts. next Thursday. I never took Deak in for his 3 year and Nix and I will go in for our 6 week so we will have real numbers for both boys then. This side shot is to shot his nice big belly:
