Special Day in White


November 4th was one of Blakelee's most Special Day!! It was her Blessing Day.
In the morning we got ready then headed to Griffin's parents ward at 9am. We wanted to bless her close to our family and in a ward that we were familiar with. So we decided to bless her out in one of our parents wards. Griffin did an amazing job on blessing her. It was so tender and melted my heart. He started off by thanking Heavenly Father for an Angel!! It was the sweetest thing hearing the crackle in his voice, after he thanked him, from getting choked up. He blessed her with some amazing things that will help her in her life from here on out.
My Dad, Griff's Dad, Grandpa Anderson, Grandpa Payne, Zach, Devin, and Eric were in the circle for the blessing. So many of our friends and family were there supporting Blakelee on her special day.
Once the blessing was over we all went back to my moms house for a brunch. So many people were so helpful with bringing some food and drinks. My cute mom did so much to make this day happen, she cleaned, shopped, and hosted such a fun day!! Thank you mom so much for everything you are so amazing!!

Having the priesthood in our lives is the most powerful thing that I have ever seen. I am so happy that I have such a wonderful husband that holds the priesthood and was able to bless our baby girl. It brings the biggest smiles and happiest feeling to my heart knowing he was there for her this day! Love my whole family and my new little family so much.

Witching Hours

For Halloween this year we were able to dress up a cute little girl!! She was a witch. We got a cute onesie for a shower that had a witch on it, it was a little big for her but she looked so darn cute. During the day I went with my sister to watch Laryssa do her gymnastics then we went to South Town Mall to get Blakelee her Blessing Dress (such a cute dress!!). We then got some lunch with Zach at Fire House Subs. I had never eaten there before, it was SO good!! I then headed home for a nice massage. Griff knew that I was very sore from delivering Blakelee, stress, holding and taking care of her, and just every day life. So he made me a massage appointment at Massage Envy. It was so nice to have a relaxing hour and getting pampered!!! After my massage I hurried home to get Blakelee and me ready for our night out. We then loaded the car and all headed to Lindsay's house for White Chili and Halloween fun.
Don't you just love her adorable bright eyes?? She is my Favorite!!
After chili we all headed out so the girls could trick or treat around the neighborhood. As we were out we went to this house that puts on a Thriller performance. They dress up all zombie like and do all kinds of Halloween dances. The house is all decked out as well!! Most of the houses in the neighborhood go all out with this holiday. They had chain saw guys chasing people and masked guys going around just to spook you!!!
The cutest mermaid and monkey ever!!
After watching all the dances and enjoying the fun we decided that we better load up and go visit Griff's family.
Aren't they so cute?? :) Beau was so stinking adorable in his big pumpkin costume.  We had to try to hurry to get these pictures because both of them were super tired, hungry and needed a bum change haha!!
It was now time to get her out of her costume and into her pj's for the night!!
She did such a good job being such a super cute witch!
What a fun Halloween, we are so happy to have our sweet girl to celebrate all the Holidays with!!
