Mason's Blessing

So one of my goals for the week is to update our blog...I set it BEFORE I saw how many pictures I've blogged nothing about. Two downloads plus more still on the camera. Wow! I am a slacker.
Well, gotta start somewhere. So here are some pics from Mason's blessing. He was blessed on June 14,2009. Thanks to Chelsea (who was pregnant but hadn't told anyone) for trying to get some with all our faces at least visible. A smile was just too much to ask for from Gavin... It was a beautiful, sunny day, and thank goodness! because we had TONS of friends and family come over to my parent's house (which was also our house at the time) after church. My brother Garrett had just come home from his mission to Alabama and we were able to have Mason's blessing on the same day he reported. What a great meeting! Garrett really did a great job (at least on everything I heard from the mother's room while nursing Mason). Gavin was all for the pictures. Especially when he heard everyone's oohs and ahhs over him hugging his baby bro.
So he went for a kiss... and made sure everyone was still watching!
We got so many cute ones of Mason in his tux, but here are some of my favorites.
Happy Boy!
Sleepy boy... with extremely kissable cheeks and lips!
Handsome boy!
Like I said, we had lots of people come out to support us. It was so awesome! But, I didn't get very many pictures of those that came. Here are the very few I did catch.

Everyone eating all the great food that I did hardly anything to prepare. In fact, I was in charge of picking up the cookies. Yeah, I know, I'm so domestic. Thanks everyone for bringing stuff. Big thanks to my mom for making all the great teriyaki chicken and gravy. YUM!
My awesome piano teacher/mentor/second mother and her husband. They're so awesome!
Uncles Tay and Tan love their nephew!
Grandma T (she's so cute)
Grandma and Grandpa Smith
Uncle Gar (formerly Elder Smith) - doesn't he look so good?
The proud, sweaty (I speak only for myself) parents!
Cutest daddy in the world
My boys will get far more kisses than they want from me, but I can't help it!
It was a great Smith reunion. I'm so glad we could all be back together. We've grown by three since Garrett left, and we'll just keep on growing! Can't wait for my little niece from Tay and Sara!
