Chris's graduation and Daniel's blessing

The first weekend in May was a busy one for us. On Thursday, Chris's uncle David (his deceased aunt Judy's husband) and friend came to Salt Lake. We took them to Temple Square, This is the Place Monument, and other tourist places around Salt Lake. On Friday night, my family came down from Idaho. We had 12 people in all. Saturday morning, Chris graduated from the University of Phoenix.

On Sunday, we all (minus Uncle David who had to fly back to Chicago Saturday) gathered for Daniel's blessing in our ward. It was great to see Bishop Jensen, Eve and Rory, and Claudia join us for this event. The blessing was beautiful. It was a good thing because it was cold outside! That is why I look like I am freezing to death in these pictures.

Family Pictures

Chris's family has been asking us for family pictures for a while now. We have not had pictures of us taken since we were married (3 years ago). We had a really good coupon for JCPenney studios which saved us over $90. Here are a few of my favorites.

April 2010

I am so slow at posting on this blog. I would much rather read other people's blogs. Here are some of the major happenings in April for us.

We enjoyed General Conference for what we could see of it. With a newborn, it was difficult to watch some of the sessions. During the Saturday afternoon session, Daniel threw up and then screamed for about 40 minutes afterward. I did appreciate all the talks on parenthood. I can't wait to read the talks in the Ensign (whenever it gets here).

Daniel grew so much this month. Once he got off the bililights at the end of March, he really started to fill out. His weight at the end of the month was 10 lbs. 8 oz. He started to smile, which is so stinkin' cute. We took him to church for the first time, and he sleeps right through it. Does that mean he is going to be a High Priest when grows up?
