Thanksgiving Weekend




For Thanksgiving Weekend we went home to Boise. We had T
hanksgiving lunch with my mom and then headed over to Trenton's parents and had some pie and got to show off Dallin to his side of the family. Then we headed to my dad's family get together for a little while and then off to my mom's family get together...it was a busy day. On Friday we went 4 wheeling with my dad. It was a BLAST! We got so muddy but it was worth it. That night we left Dallin with grandma Jayne (his very first babysitter) and Trenton and I went to dinner with Ty, Shar, and some friends at Old Chicago and watched the BSU football game. Saturday night we took Dallin to grandma Wendy's and she watched him while we went to New Moon. I am totally team Jacob ;) It was nice to get a couple nights out and get to socialize with people.

Sunday morning we blessed Dallin in Boise at Trenton's parent's ward. What a spiritual experience. It is so different when it's your own child. Dallin did so good. He didn't even cry, just made his little chipmunk sounds. What a little stud I have. I am especially surprised since it was time for him to eat, but he sure was ready as soon as the blessing was over. Church is a little different when you have a baby. I got to listen to Sacrament Meeting while sitting in the mother's lounge.


After his blessing we went to Trenton's parents and had some breakfast and then headed home. The trip home was a little rough but we made. Dallin is now eating every 3 hours instead of 2 so that makes things a little easier but he wasn't a big fan of being in his carseat for so long. We got home at about 10:30 p.m. and I got Dallin's things ready for the babysitter today. Yeah that's right maternity leave is over :( It was hard dropping him off this morning and I am missing him like crazy. The babysitter says he is doing great though! It feels good to be back at work though and back to real life. It was nice to have a reason to get out of bed this morning and to actually be productive and it'll be nice to start getting paychecks again.

Photo catch up...finally

Here ya go everyone. Here are some updated pictures of Dallin. Sorry it took so long but our computers haven't been working very well lately. He is definitely getting bigger. He was weighed on Monday November 16 and is up to 7 lbs 5 oz and 21 inches long.
We are getting his pictures professionally taken on Saturday. We couldn't be more excited. The photographer is amazing and I can't wait to get the pictures back so you can all see them.
