Karsyn and Kennedy's Blessing Day and the night at the Layton Park

Well the big day finally came...Karsyn and Kennedy were blessed by Kurt on Sunday August 3rd! The day ended up going so well, the girls looked so cute in their dresses that Grandma Lindsay made them. I was going to have one of the girls wear my blessing dress that all the other girls in the family have worn, and then I borrowed one from Jen (Preslie and Harlee's) that the other one would wear, but then at the last minute (the Tuesday night before) decided that I was going to take Laurie up on the offer to make the girls dresses. She was so great to come down that night and get started on them right away and they ended up better than I could have imagined. Thanks Laurie! Thanks to everyone who shared this special day with our family. There were so many family and friends that came to support the girls, including Kurt's grandparents that were in town from Colorado. We missed having my sister Lacey and her little family there with us but we look forward to seeing them soon!
Kurt and I are so happy to have the girls home and have appreciated all the love and support. I am so glad to have a husband that holds the priesthood, especially in times like this, Kurt gave so many blessings to the girls while they were in the womb, then in the hospital, and now that they are home. He did such an amazing job telling the girls to be strong and never to give up and making sure they know that they have a lot of family and friends that love them very much! Good Job Kurt!

Hey Karsyn, the day hasn't even started yet, don't be yawning already!!!

Logan had already gone to church with grandma and grandpa and so we didn't get the whole family picture but are the girls with mommy and daddy on their special day!

Kennedy zonked out when we got home so we weren't able to get any pictures of her by herself really. Just take my word for it that she looked so pretty all in white with her pink bow that aunt Hailey made them!

Karsyn stayed awake for a while after church for the "party" and then later on she zonked out too!

After everyone had gone home and everything was cleaned up at the house we all laid around for a while we decided to take Logan to the Layton park to feed the ducks and play on the playground. The ducks must have been fed all day long because none of them were too hungry but Kurt and Logan still threw some bread out there for them. After they got bored of that we took Logan and Makinlee to the playground to swing. My mom, Hailey and I sat on the bench with the girls while Kurt and Clay took the big girls to play on the swings and slides for a while. It was such a pretty night and was so nice and relaxing to just sit there and talk to my mom and sister while Logan and Makinlee were occupied! Karsyn and Kennedy just sat and enjoyed being outside for once, not too hot, not too cold!
