My family came to stay the weekend we blessed Tirzah. They drove 11 hours to be with us for a day and a half then drove another 11 hours to get the boys home for school Monday. If they didn't miss any more days of school they didn't have to take finals! It was very special to have my dad there to participate in the blessing and to spend a little bit of time with everyone at our new home in Bismarck.
We went down to the river for the first time and walked along the path. It was the first warm day we have had since moving there in January. I was a good thing we went because then it was cold again and then it flooded and it is still under several feet of water.
We found some great trees to climb and take pictures in.
Mason just recently decided he was afraid of heights. Jacob threw him in the air a few weeks before this to reach a balloon on the ceiling and he freaked out. He fell to the floor hanging onto the carpet for dear life. See how he is hanging onto that limb. He really wanted to be in the tree, but was terrified the whole time.
Very charming boys.
Zach wanted his picture taken in a different place.
The blessing Jacob gave Tirzah was beautiful.
An updated family picture.
I am so glad my family made such an effort to be with us on this special weekend.
My mom made that beautiful white blanket for me when I had Rylie. I have been so excited to use it again with Tirzah.
Happy Mother's Day!
I loved sharing this day with my mom and my new daughter. What better way is there to celebrate Mother's Day than hosting my mom in my home and hearing my husband use his priesthood to bless our daughter with my dad participating as well.
