This weekend was so busy. My family from arizona came in friday morning early. I got Teagen ready for the day and my mom came and picked us up and we went over to visit our aunt Mary. She lives in a retirement home and they were doing a halloween party, so we stayed and visited for a couple hours.
We left and headed out to my sisters house in Saratoga Springs and got dinner ready for the fam. What my mom didn't know was it was really a surprise 50th birthday party for her. So we got done cooking and we needed to get her out of the house so we could set up the decorations. Every excuse we came up with she got out of then we had Grandma have my mom take her to get a drink at the gas station. My aunt debbie went with her and they stopped at the store. They kept stalling and mom was getting really anxious to get back and they just kept walking around. We hurried and got all the decorations up and the lights off and when she walked in yelled happy birthday. She was really surprised so that mad me happy. We all ate dinner then mom opened her gag gifts. Jeff brought like 15 gifts they were all stuff from the DI that was from her time. All the gifts were really funny.
Saturday I cut Rob's hair in a mohawk and then we got Teagen in his little giraffe costume and we dressed up. Rob went as a dead preppy boy and I went as a Vampire. Then we just cleaned our house to get really for sunday. We went trick or treating at Jeff and Wenda's house and ate this really good chilly that she made in a pumpkin. We went home and that night was the first time Teagen slept 6 hours. Yay!!!
Sunday we got up and started getting ready. We had been planning this day for a while and last weekend we found out that it was stake conference this weekend so we had to have the blessing at the clubhouse where we were doing food. So we told everyone to go there and that morning we found out we had to have the blessing at our house because it cant be in a public building. So we told everyone it is now at out house. We did so much running around that morning my mom and Rissa came over early to help us. People started arriving and then the bishop came over, after that we were still waiting for people dad was told that it was at 1 so we had to wait for a little bit longer. We had so many people in our house I didn't even know that many could fit in there. My dad gave us the opening prayer, then we sang I am a child of God, then Rob gave a very beautiful blessing. He was so nervous the whole last month but he did such a good job. I was very proud of him. Then my grandpa Groscost gave the closing prayer and we all went over and ate really good food that everyone brought. Mom, Rissa and Leisa helped so much, thanks for all your help. I just was Rob to know that I'm so thankful to have this brand new baby boy and a husband that is a worthy holder of the priesthood that could bless him.
After we got everything cleaned up my mom's side of the family went to wheeler farm to do family pictures, I wanted to get them done because we are not all together that often and we needed them. This weekend was so crazy but I love when my family is here I miss them so much and and so thankful that we can be together sometimes.
