Weddings, Easter and more

It's hard to keep all these web pages updated. Facebook, blogs, etc. I finally have some free time to update a little bit.
On March 14th we finally blessed Dax. I know babies usually get blessed at a much younger age, but we waited because Luke's brother Jake planned his wedding for St Patrick's Day and we wanted all the family to be there. It turned out to be a great day. For being 4 1/2 months, Dax did great and didn't make a peep. Thanks to everyone that was able to make it. We really appreciate your support and had a great time seeing everyone.
As I mentioned, the wedding was on St Patrick's Day but the reception was the night before. It was so much fun to have all the family together for a few days. Everyone looked so cute in their green, brown and white.

Wednesday was a wonderfully sunny day for a wedding. The ceremony was simple but beautiful and Jake and Kara looked great. As is tradition now, we went to Rodizio's for the wedding luncheon. Super delicious! It was just a great day all around.
I was able to attend the Young Womens General Broadcast the week before Conference. It was an amazing meeting and was the spirit was so strong! I walked out just thinking "Wow!" It's funny how we get so caught up in the day-to-day things that we forget the really important stuff. I understand now why conference is as often as it is. I definitely need the spiritual reminder.
Dax is growing up so fast and we are loving him at 5 months! I love this picture because it totally shows off his little belly. Why is it that chubby babies are so cute yet being a chubby adult is not so cute? It would be a lot simpler and less work if being chubby was trendy. Someday perhaps...
I thought he looked super cute in this yellow jacket so I started snapping pictures. And he was really cooperating while I took pictures so I got a couple good ones. Can you tell he needs a hair cut?
I know this one is kind of blurry, but love how happy he is in it! He is smiling so much these days and laughing more often. I love that he's such a mellow, happy kid.
I found a Bumbo on KSL. It was definitely worth the money. Thanks to those who left comments and helped me make the decision to get one. Dax loves being able to sit up and have a change in view from laying down or being held.
Easter was great this year. We decorated eggs with Justin, Jake and Kara. I never knew that if you use Vaseline, the color won't soak onto the egg. We had a lot of fun expressing our creativity.


After Conference, we went to my grandparents house in Bountiful for dinner and an Easter Egg Hunt! No matter how old I get, I'm still so excited to find the eggs. I'm glad I'm still considered one of the kids and that I get to gather. I'm sure it's fun to hide eggs too, but I'll stick to finding for as long as I can.
Dax's first Easter Egg Hunt. He found so many eggs he had to keep them in his pockets :)

Well, there's a little March update to carry you through until next month. One of these days we'll stay on top of things. Farewell.
