Carter's Blessing

What an amazing weekend! It all started when we flew up from Vegas and were picked up from the airport by Regan's brother Mike and his adorable little boy Talon (who we never get to see because they live in Denver). Mike was so excited to meet little Carter for the first time, and let me tell you how lucky Carter is to have an uncle that cares so much about him. It was so fun to see them spend time together. Carter loves Regan's brothers, It is so funny to see him with them. Regan's younger brother always holds Carter this certain way (I call it "the Brian"). Carter is just so happy and calm when he is being held by him. We met up with Regan's whole family that night at the Mayan, and had a great time with everybody. We spent Saturday night at the Jazz game with some of Regan's fam and had a ton of fun until this fifty year old man with a mullet sitting behind us started calling Reg out to fight him because we asked them to move their coats! It really was a fun game besides that little incident. And then came Sunday...what an amazing day that was for our family. We started the day off badly when we were getting Carter ready for his blessing and he burnt his hand on my hair straightener. I have never felt so bad! I'm sure every mom can relate, and I experienced for the first time, how terrible it feels when your child gets hurt. He was OK after about five minutes of crying, and it didn't bother him the rest of the day. After that.... the day was perfect! What a neat experience was to see my sweet husband get up in sacrament and give my baby the sweetest blessing. I was so touched during that whole meeting. We were surrounded by our family, some who traveled a long way to come support us. It was a really neet experience for me, and I am so grateful for my husband, and all those that came. It really meant alot to me. We had a fun get together at my parent's house afterward with good food and company! My mom put in alot of effort to make it nice, like she always does. She is so great, and I am so thankful for her. We have the most amazing families, and I am so glad I could spend this special event with all of them. Carter is so lucky to have so many amazing people in his life that love him.
