What a Wonderful Weekend

This past weekend was busy, fun-filled, and spiritual. Friday night we had a baby shower for Nolan's wife Treo. She is due on the 4th of July, but because of some complications they will be taking her some time before the 20th of June. She and Nolan drove up from St. George and we were able to get together and give her a shower. It was fun to talk to everyone and enjoy some yummy food.
Then, Saturday, Brock and I spent most of the day getting our house ready for Nixon's blessing. We were able to get mostly everything ready before heading out to another shower for our friends Chance and Nicole. We had a BBQ at a park for that one, and again, it was fun to spend time with some of Brock's friends that we don't see very often. Then off to the temple for Julia's Endowment session. No, she isn't getting married (and she's single if you know anyone good), and no, she isn't going on a mission. She just felt like it was time. It was really great, and the spirit was strong. What a special thing to be a part of.
Then, Sunday we had our sweet Nixon blessed. He is three months now, but the last couple of months we had other family members blessing their babies and wanted to wait so Nixon could have his own day. Brock gave such a beautiful blessing. The bishop got up afterwards and said that he had to confess that he peaked down at him during the blessing and he was just staring up at Brock the whole time, with a big smile on his face. Then Brock said the same thing. He said that he wanted to look at Nixon so he could feel like he was really talking to him and so that he would know what to say, and Nixon just looked at him and smiled. I wish I could have seen that. It was followed by some yummy food, and good conversation at our house. It was such a beautiful day. We are such a blessed family and have so much to be thankful for.
