Talans Blessing

Talans blessing was last Sunday and it has taken me forever to get these pics on here (yes, I had to get Breaking Dawn read before I could do anything else). It was such an amazing day! Nate gave him such an awesome blessing. The whole day I kept thinking how awesome it was to be sitting there watching Nate give our little Talan a priesthood blessing along with our family and friends in the circle. He didn't cry (Talan), which we were worried he would, my dad told me that he just stared up at Nate the whole time. Dan & Brittany came home from St George and Nate was so excited that he was going to have one of his brothers in the circle. Heather Ann has been here all summer so it was neat that she was able to be here for one of our blessings. Here are some pics from his special day!

Thank you so much to our family and friends that went out of their way to come. It was so special to have you there and it meant the world to us!

NOW......



AMAZING!! I finished it yesterday, (call me Lish)!! It took me forever because I have a newborn but it's all I have wanted to do this whole week. I have to tell you all my experience of buying it because it's funny. It came out last Friday night at midnight and I had reserved a copy at Hastings but I still wanted to go at midnight, I felt like I was missing out if I didn't. So I walk into Hastings at exactly midnight and it was CRAZY! People were were shouting the countdown and there were Edwards and Bellas dressed up everywhere. People had Team Edward and Team Jacob tshirts on - it was hysterical! The lines were broken into categories of your last name (to check out) and when I found mine, there were seriously 150 people in my line alone. So I decided to leave and get it the next day because I would have been there til three in the morning checking out. As I was walking to my car I looked over at Walmart and saw people running out with their copies. So I decided to go try there. I went in and they had two big pallets full but were going quickly. So I grabbed one and checked out (every check stand was opened, just like day after Thanksgiving). People were sitting on the ground reading it, out on the curb, in their cars and the best was the lady (a mother) driving next to me on the way home reading it with her light on as she drove!!!
Anyway, this one is my favorite! I couldn't believe all the twist and turns it took and i don't know about you but I when I finished, I wished I was a vampire! ;) I'm sad that they are over but what a way to end it - WOW!

Okay you look gorgeous. Such cute boys that you have. I just finished reading the book on Friday. I must have a newborn too. I loved it and I am sad that it is over, but I can't wait for the movie.

I love your whole entire family.

I loved the book, too. I loved how she tied everything up and made you happy with how everything turned out, even if it wasn't how you had pictured it.
Talan was so cute at the blessing. I had never seen Nate's sisters before, I cannot believe how much that family looks so much alike.

He is so adorable Aubrie and you look great. I can't wait to meet your little guy or at least have them meet. They will have to be good buddies and celebrate birthdays together. Look forward to seeing you guys soon.

Talan and Dax are both so cute! I was sad we missed the blessing, but it sounds like it was a great day. As for the book, I cannot believe you read it that fast with a toddler and newborn baby. I just finished it this morning! And I was reading every second I could. I thought the book was great (the end had me stressing), but I still think the first one (Twilight) was the best!

P.S. How in the heck did people dress up as Bella??? Isn't she just basically a normal girl with brown hair??
