We blessed Gracie this last Sunday. It was such a fun day for everyone. We had our entire family (minus Jacque & her fam) at church. There were so many of us that it seemed like we took up about the entire middle section of the chapel. It is so fun to have everyone together. The circle was so big...when I looked up I realized that it was all family, with the exception of Brantley, but we claim him as the white brother anyway so it's all the same. It is such a blessing to have a husband and so many brother-in-laws that are worthy priesthood holders. And an even bigger blessing that they all live so close. I was a little overwhelmed with emotion the whole morning. I just kept thinking of our boys and the great examples they have around them and what an amazing blessing it is. Eli always gives the best blessings and Gracie's was no exception. She slept through the whole thing. All through church Allie kept telling everyone she looked like an angel, and she did. She got to wear my blessing dress, which was extra neat. And it wouldn't be us if we didn't have half the world over for food after. Everyone came over for brunch and most everyone stayed so we could have a super bowl party after. Two parties in one day...how lucky are we?!?! Too bad the Broncos are worthless, that is the only thing that could have made the day better. Our little family is amazing and I love everything about it. I just wish we could bottle days like this to remember it all.
Had to get a picture of Eli in here. I don't know who took it but I'm so glad they did. He hides from the camera and if you did't know better you would think he was never around. So thank you to the camera theif! He was a great pancake cook (which is more than I can say for his brother, Spencer...hahahaha)!
Gracie smiles more than any of our other babies. They were all super happy, but she bursts into a huge grin the second she wakes up, the second she sees us, and mostly the WHOLE TIME her dad talks to her. She is staking her place as daddy's girl early and it is so stinking cute. She coos and smiles at him all day long. She is such a happy little baby! It is so fun to talk to her and sing to her and have her light up. 
Yep....looking at her dad.
I can't believe she is 8 weeks old today. She is getting so big, but so much fun. She is starting to try and reach for things and she wiggles around pretty good. She even rolled to her side the other day but she is a ways off from getting all the way over. Most of the time she is just content to lay on her back and look around. She is sleeping pretty good still and even let me put her to bed wide awake last night. Heavenly Father blessed me this time with such a content little girl. 
Our favorite little outfit. 
Getting so big. I love that all of our kids have had HUGE brown eyes. Their little expressions are so cute!
I would never try this because I know I'd fall on my face.
Zach got in on the fun too with a little help from his brother.
Don't be fooled by this girlie girl. If the boys can do it, so can she. She knew she wasn't long enough to fit between the counters so she came up with this alternative all on her own...I was dying laughing.
