10 Weeks, baby blessing, and first 6+ run

I can't believe baby Brooks is 10 weeks old! He is getting so so big! I cannot even believe it. Saturday was a busy busy day. Bryce had to work until about 2:30, so my sister picked me up and I hung out at my dad's house. Natalie and I went on my first 6+ mile run! I haven't been wearing my Garmin lately. I am just trying to get back in the groove of things. We ran along the canal. It was so nice to have someone to run with. We just had a little much needed therapy session. We finished the run in 58 minutes, I am just so happy to be running faster than 10 minute miles. Pretty pathetic, but I gotta start somewhere eh?

My dad and his wife are remodeling their house... haha it is crazy. So Holly and I bounced to go get all of the ingredients for Brooks' baby blessing food. We also had to buy new brakes for our car. Sending two girls who don't know a thing about cars... luckily the guys was super duper nice. I stood there and he got everything I need. And it was all right. Gotta love Auto Zone. I ended up making these cookies for the blessing, because I knew I wouldn't have time Sunday morning. They were a hit.

I decided because it was fall to have soup. Both of Brooks' grandmas brought a soup (well grandma Lesa brought two), and I brought one. We had a clam chowder, cream of potato, taco soup and I made a chicken and rice soup found here. My sister Nat, is the best to have around. She made Brooks' outfit. Everyone thought I bought it somewhere. Nope. She made it. And she also brought rolls. Alex is a lucky man. That is for dang sure. We had awesome salads and desserts. It was great. It was so fun to see everyone and Bryce gave an awesome blessing. :) I am so in love with my family. We didn't take very many pictures... I need to get better at that.

Bad picture... but whateves...

Look at those cute buttons

I love the bow tie. Nat is so talented. 

So update on Brooks. He is 10 weeks old. He loves to stand (with loads of assistance, and lots of wiggling and wobbling). He is starting to get more vocal every day. He loves to tell stories, and to have all the attention on him. He is sleeping really well. He will fall asleep around 8:00, wake up between 12-3 for a midnight snack. Then go right back down until 5-7 o'clock. He takes great naps and has massive blow outs. He is still living up to his angel baby name. I couldn't be more lucky. He has the greatest temperament. It is just harder to get things done because I just wanna hang out with this cute guy all day.

He is getting so big! 

I am headed on a easy run tonight... I am hitting the trails tomorrow with a friend. She's gonna kick my butt! :)
