We had Brianne's blessing today, and it was a great day! We are so grateful to the family that came to support us. Everything went pretty smoothly. We did have one little surprise though. When we got to church, it turned out that Elder Allen of the Seventy had made a surprise visit to Rupert. So accompanying him was his travel companion, the high councilman for our ward, and the full stake presidency. In total, there were 9 suits on the stand, a little overwhelming for Nick. But he did a great job. I'm so lucky to have such a good guy! Afterwards we had a luncheon at our house complete with lots of playing with cousins, and playing baseball with the dead apples in the yard. Yum! But with all that fun, we do need a little drama, right? Poor Lainee got her first bee sting today. It was pretty traumatic. But thanks to Missy for helping her feel better and telling her how cool it was that she got stung by a bee!

Sad I missed it! You look great and Brianne is BEAUTIFUL. Love her big blue eyes!
What a little angel! I think blessing days are some of the sweetest days we get to experience! Good job Nick! That would be quite intimidating. Glad lainee survived the bee sting! Poor thing!
So sorry we couldn't be there. But we love you and are so happy you shared pictures.
