Busy Weekend.....

We had such a busy weekend but it was great to be able to spend time with friends and family. On Thursday Easton turned 2 months old. I can't believe how fast time has gone. Here are a few facts about Easton at 2 months old.....
  • He weighs 13.5 lbs (88 percentile) and is 24 inches (86 percentile)
  • He eats 5 oz. every 2.5 to 3 hours
  • He is very demanding on when he wants to eat. He screams if you don't get it to him right when he wants it.
  • He loves to lay on his changing table. Every time we lay him down on it he starts smiling. Not sure what is so exciting about it.
  • He absolutely hates to have a dirty diaper.
  • He has started to squeal when he gets excited and throws his arms around as he squeals.
  • So far when traveling long distances he does amazing. He usually just sleeps.
  • He is a great tractor partner. I can put him in his car seat and he will sleep for hours while I work for my dad.
I really can't believe how much he has grown. He has gained 6 lbs and grown 4 inches taller since he was born. It's been so fun to watch him grow and I can't wait to continue watching him.

Our Anniversary
It was our anniversary on Sunday and I can't believe we've already been married for a year. It honestly has been the most amazing year of my life and I am so thankful for Kincade and all the things he does for me. He has honestly been a great blessing in my life.

We wanted to go and do something fun for our first anniversary so we decided that going to Lagoon would be a great idea. We dropped Easton and Izzy off at Kincade's parents house for Annette and Cheryl to watch. Then we headed on our way. It looked like the weather was going to be horrible and everyone told us we were crazy for going but we decided we would go and see what it was like. It ended up being perfect. It was about 60 degrees and it barely even rained on us. We had such a blast and I'm so happy we went. We rode most the rides more than once and went to 2 of the haunted houses. I am so happy I got to spend a day with Kincade.

Easton's Blessing
On Sunday which was also our anniversary we were able to bless our sweet baby boy. Kincade did such an amazing job and I'm so glad he holds the priesthood so he was able to give the blessing. My mom made Easton such a cute tux to wear for it. He looked so handsome. I'm so grateful for her and everything she does for us as well. It was such a great day though. We had so many friends and family there so support us. I was especially grateful for the Bassetts for being there and bringing Isaac. I loved being able to get both my boys together. Isaac was very shy with me but it was just great to be able to see their family. I love spending time with them.

This weekend definitely helped me appreciate friends and family even more. It also helped me better  appreciate the gospel and the priesthood. I still can't believe the changes I've made in my life but I couldn't be happier. I am so blessed to also have a husband who has made similar changes in his life and I can't wait to continue our journey together as a family. I love my little family so much and couldn't have had a better weekend celebrating so many great things.

Here are a few pictures of Easton's blessing day. I will try to get a better photo of him in his tux.....

Grandma Cowley sewed his tux for him. 

He was hungry so this is the only picture of him that I got.
