Today was the first day of both bowling and piano lessons. Bowling was a little crazy being the first day and I actually got home too late to see Nick off to his first day of piano. Thanks to wonderful neighbors (Erin Coles), he still made it though. His teacher is Catherine Cummings and he really enjoyed his first day. He came home ready and eager to practice! Let's just hope that lasts.

What a special day! Simon blessed our sweet baby in sacrament meeting. Afterward, we went to Hamilton Park by our home and had a luncheon with everyone that came. We are blessed to be surrounded by wonderful and supportive family. It was a perfect day to celebrate our perfect baby.

First of all, Simon and I met on this day 15 years ago! It seems like yesterday! :) I spent some of my day working on this cake for Ricki's baby blessing. It was fun to make and very Pinterest-inspired.

Poor Ricki had a rough night last night. Starting at 3:30 am, we were up every 15-30 minutes. She's been battling a fever all day today. Plus, she scratched her sweet little face - just in time for the baby blessing. The good news was that this was a 24-hour thing and the fever went just as quickly as it came.

Amie has a voucher for 2 free meals at the hospital that we've been wanting to use for about a month. I texted her today and asked if it would be a good night to go. We hopped in the car and went over to find that the cafeteria closed at 7:00 (we got there about 7:30). We ended up eating at Chick-Fil-A then went shopping at Ross and Target. It was a fun night but we had a heck of a time getting a good selfie. I put this collage together of all of our failed attempts. I liked the very last one we took. :)

My sweet mommy crocheted Ricki her very own beautiful blessing gown. She also made her matching "soulless shoes" and flowers to make a headband. I finally put the headband together tonight so it would be ready in plenty of time for the blessing. I think it's beautiful! I love that Kendra and Ricki get to keep their dresses that were made with love by their grandma. What a special family heirloom for them!

Happy 8th birthday to Jaker the Baker Maker! We had an impromptu party at McDonald's then I took Kendra to her very first gymnastics lesson. The kids loved playing with their cousins at McD's and she loved gymnastics!

Ever wonder what about $400 of paint looks like? Well, there it is! We spent some time today going through all 4 kids' rooms and deciding on colors. Then we all went, as a family, (pull my hair out), to Home Depot to buy the paint. We were in a hurry to buy it all because of the Labor Day sales going on. Although we forked out $400, we will get $60 back in rebates so it was totally worth it. We'd buy the paint either way so we might as well buy it when they are offering a deal!
