Well today Blake finally got Baptized!!!
It is a little difficult to get both families who each live out of town together! But we accomplished it! Uncle Gary was even able to fly in from Colorado to perform the sacrament for us. That meant the world to us - makes it so personal and special! So thank you to all of our family and friends who came and shared this awesome day with us! We love you all!

This is how Blake was the whole ceremony - listening to everything Gary said...such a smart boy!

The crowd watching! I love being able to have private ceremonies!

One of my favorite pics! Look at Braden even peeking! Beautiful moment!

Blake's Godparents!
My brother Eric and Chris's sister Katie!

So happy Gary was able to fly in for this! Thanks so much Gary!!!

Blake's honorary Godmother Jill! She was the very first person to hold him and took such good care of him from day one...and for many more years to come I'm sure :)

The Special Boy of the Day

Mmmmm...Chocolate - he even tried a taste and he liked it :)

And we were even able to get the Nebraska game on pay-per-view after the ceremony - so this is where most of my family was for the night :)

Whoo Hoo - Mom & Dad got a night out on the town! Chris and I (and 10 of our neighbors) all headed off to the Dave Matthews Band concert tonight. It was such a fun night! Thanks to all our neighbors for such a great time! We are truly blessed to live in such a great place!

All the girls!

Blake finally fits into this outfit that I got at my baby shower in December! It says "Mommy's Monster" on it, so appropriate!

Later today he found his way over to his brother's semi truck! I think Braden is already having an influence on him!

Today was RED day at school for Braden! He picked out his Husker jersey all on his own :) I did not argue!

This afternoon we spent some time outside with a few of our neighbors enjoying the beautiful weather!
This is Elizabeth their daughter - she wanted me to take her picture!

Braden had his first indoor soccer game today! It was a little more his pace than t-ball! He pretty much just ran and ran - sometimes going after the ball - sometimes lost in his own world. But he said he had fun and wants to do it again - so that is good!

Happy Friday Night!

Today we met Gavin and Jill at the park before school! The boys had a great time on a beautiful day!

Braden likes to help give Blake his bath! Which we are now doing only in the big tub - he loves it!

September 14

Blake was supposed to be napping - but this is what I found instead!

September 13

Jill and I ventured out to some outlet malls today for a little girl time and shopping! We did a little damage - mostly for the boys! But it was a fun day!

Keegan let his little cousin borrow his Husker gear! I thought it was pretty funny that it said "Daddy's Little Husker" If you know our family at all - you can pick up on the irony :):):)
