3 Months...Hurray!

Sadly, we did not get any fun pictures during Thanksgiving, but here's to Teddy turning 3 months! 



This year we spent Thanksgiving with both sides of the family.  Zach had to work Thursday night on graves, so we had a quick meal at his mom's house around 2, and then he left for work.  After lunch, Stetzen and I played games with his family until late that night.  We contemplated going Black Friday shopping with Grandma Young, but decided against it.  Why you might ask?  For one reason alone, SLEEP!!  I thought it was a good compromise. 

When Zach got off graves, we went down with his family to Idaho to see my family and Zach's Grandmother Joy.  Stetzen and I went shopping with Grandma and Katelyn, while Zach went and tore down a silo he bought on KSL.  We got a lot of our Christmas shopping done, and spent a great post-Turkey Day with the fam.

On Sunday, we went down to Murray to bless, Caige, Zach's sister Rachel's baby.  She had a lunch afterwards at her house and then we headed home.  Needless to say, it was a busy weekend, but fun all the same.

Blessing


Somehow in my frantic pursuit of catching up my blog, I forgot to post about blessing Stetzen! How awful of me!


So, here goes a short recap of the day.  We blessed Stetzen on November 6, here in McKinnon.  My family was able to come up as well as Jennifer’s, Rachel’s, and of course Zach’s parents and Brands.  My dad, Jacob, Zach’s dad, James, and Bishop Rowdy all stood in the circle to bless him.  Skylar and Grandma Joy were supposed to come, but were not able to make it up that weekend.  Skylar was very disappointed because he wanted to participate. 






Lacy and Ben Thomas also blessed their baby Kelston that Sunday, so Zach and his parents went into Green River after blessing Stetzen.  I wanted to take pictures of everyone after sacrament, but they were gone, and then Jennifer’s family had to leave too, so it never happened.  So, when Zach got back, we took some pictures of him and my family and went to Nancy’s house for the after party.  I planned on getting pictures of his side, but I never got a chance. 

 Chillin with his cousins at Grandma Young's.

It was a wonderful day, and we’re so blessed to have Stetzen here and healthy!
