Baby Scott's Blessing

Today was a fun day! It started at 5a.m. unfortunately but it only got better from there. Tyler and I hung out for a bit, ate some breakfast, and took a bath around 6am...odd, but necessary. Tyler fell asleep last night at 5:30pm so he skipped out on his bath last night and definitely needed one for Sunday! Tyler was even a good boy and took a short nap from 7-8am before we left for church in Centennial Hills for the blessing. Cousin Jenna met at our house to go together and we were off!


There was a bunch of fun girl talk on the way. Jenna is expecting in August so we got to chat about baby stuff. Tyler was intrigued with Jenna's fingernails...just something simple, but interesting. Walking into church we got to see a bunch of Ryan's family and some people I knew as family friends on my side. All of Aunt Anita's kids were there to support Matt and Jill with their new baby boy, Scott.


Cool story behind this baby blessing is that he was a long time coming. Matt and Jill have been very patient for this little spirit. It was special to be present for his blessing- and definitely a sweet moment. Scott is so tiny and precious!! We look forward to seeing more of him.

After the blessing there was some amazing food, great family, and cute kids everywhere. The wind was off the charts crazy, but that was about the only downside for the whole day. Ryan got to hold Scott and of course he's baby hungry again (or maybe it's me...) but he does such a great job with the tiny ones. Ryan calmed Scott right down. He's got that touch.

We made a quick stop by Aunt Sarah and Uncle Ryan's new place. It was beautiful! Big, open, on a golf course, amazing. So happy they could get a good deal on a place where they feel safe and hope to be able to stay until Ryan is done with dental school.

Aunt Anita is one of Tyler's many fans. He wasn't cooperating very well for this picture because he was so tired by the end of this adventure- but he sure does love the attention. Hope to be in Cali soon to see our family again!

Thanks again for being at the blessing on Sunday! It was so good to see you guys! We really need to get together more often. It was great to see you guys and the Dunn crew. Hopefully next time we get together, it won't be as chaotic and we'll actually be able to have a real conversation :)

You'll have to excuse my ignorance. I didn't know you were related to Jill. It was great to see you this weekend. Tyler is way cute. It was fun to chat with you. Oh and by the way, I think you have the nicest dad. He's always so friendly and willing to answer questions about the house.
