Wonderful Whirlwind Week-end

It feels sort of surreal that I have gone from tending

two toddlers, driving to St. George with them,

driving back to Highland, hopping on a plane for Brig's baby

blessing and hopping back on the plane and home already.

My head is spinning but it has been a wonderful weekend!

I got to spend a couple of days smooshing this little guy.

Isn't he yummy??

He's at that great age when they are still little but

sturdy enough to really snuggle and starting to

coo and goo at you and flash a few smiles.

Oh Brig....I miss you already!!!

And we made a visit to these two peanuts who landed

about 15 minutes from Paige's house.

Beck and Elle are doing really well but their poor

little mother is so sleep deprived she doesn't know

how she is doing. Keep this girl in your prayers!

I'm afraid Brig makes two of them... but they'll catch up!

Then the blessing day came...Nate was giving Brig

the details of how he was expected to behave and

what this whole blessing stuff was about.

Here's pretty Paige with her Brig just outside

their chapel. Since the Williams blessing gown

has been "retired" she purchased one of her

own to be passed down through the generations.

Brig's Grandma Colleen had a baby ring made from

the gold from her original wedding ring that she recently

had reset. Brig's little fingers were too chubby for it to

fit but he wore it on his little toe. So cute and so sweet

to have a little momento from his Grandma! Paige

has decided that this will be passed down with the

blessing gown.

Nate gave him an amazing blessing and I

don't think I have ever seen Paige happier

or more glowing! She loves being a Mom.

And I'm pretty sure Nate thinks being a Dad is

pretty cool as well!

Here is Mike and Christian being dwarfed by the

Clark men. This was a powerful group of priesthood

holders that participated in the blessing.

Proof that Mike and I were actually there....this was a very

special way to spend Mother's Day! I'll always remember

this Mother's Day.

JayDee and Colleen flew in late Saturday night

and out Sunday evening, but they wouldn't have

missed it for the world. This is grandbaby #22 for them!

Look at those darling little eyes peeking out as he is held

by his little cousin Jayden. Brig was passed around like

crazy but he was so very accommodating to everyone.

What an angel boy he is!

I just had to document the men cleaning up the kitchen....

this is Nate's brother John, Bryce and Mike doing dishes...

since it was Mother's Day the men cooked dinner and

cleaned up afterwards.

Nate's brother Greg and his wife Carie were so gracious

to host the entire event at their lovely home.

I just wish this little family lived closer so we could

see that baby boy daily!

All in all it was a fabulous day and a

wonderful Mother's Day that I got to

share with some amazing mothers.

Paige is going to be one of the great ones!
