Tanner's Blessing and Sophie's Birthday Party

Sunday, May 24, 2009 - Tanner's Blessing Day
What a special day this was. Travis was able to bless Tanner at church along with some of his family members and friends. Our little Tanner is such a sweet baby. He is my bundle of joy. His calm natured personality is such a reward. People always told me that a bond between a mother and their son is like non other and I never could understand them. Now I completely know what they mean. Although he cannot speak at me I feel such a special bond between us. We love you Tanner Travis Baldwin. Thank you for being such a special little boy! He is growing so big. In fact he was actually busting out of his blessing outfit. We couldn't button the back nor the bottom. He is 2 months old and is already in 3-6 month clothing and some 6-9 month onesies. After church we went home and had a lunch with the usual Ham, Potato casserole, rolls, salad, and a yummy vegi tray with Melissa's amazing dill dip! (Thanks again Melissa for all your help!!!) Thank you Mom and Joan for all your help preparing food!!


Sophie's ELMO Birthday Party!!!!

Since Sophie never gets to see her cousins and grandparents very often I thought it would be fun to celebrate her birthday with them. We had an ELMO birthday party per request of Sophie after the blessing lunch. So, I made her an ELMO tutu, we had an ELMO cake, white dipped strawberries, ELMO juice boxes, watermelon, "DOROTHY" Goldfish crackers, and played pin the nose on ELMO. We ended the party with everyone's favorite....A PINATA! Even the adults participated in the pinata event. It was so fun to see Sophie enjoy spending time with friends and relatives. As I look back at these fun pictures I remind myself how blessed we are to have such great people in our lives!

Shanda, you are pretty much one step past amazing! I can't believe how much you do with 2 kids! Making cakes, tutu's, etc. I pretty much chalked getting out of bed an accomplishment after my second was born! You have such a cute family! It's fun to see pics of your mom too..I haven't seen her (in real life) for such a long time! She has always been one of my favorites!
