What a Blessing!

By -
On Sunday, October 10th, we had the special opportunity of giving our beautiful little girl a name and a blessing. Jeff gave the blessing and it was a sweet experience. We are so grateful for all the friends and family that were able to come and show their love and support. You all are wonderful :)
Here are some pictures from that day:

This is the same dress that Katie was blessed in, it was made by Katie's Aunt April.  Kayley looked like a little angel in it
 

On the Barton side these are Kayley's Great Aunts & Uncles, along with Great Grandpa and Grandma.

Kayley has two cousins very close in age.  Avrie (left, 1 year) Kloie (right, seven months) And the three very proud fathers. 

Jeff's Grandparents the Stevensons and the Bartons.


We are so grateful for our sweet baby. She is all smiles and sunshine; a healthy, happy 2 month old. What a blessing :)

Our little Lana Faith turned 1 on June 11th. We celebrated in two waves. The first was with rice krispy treats and a few gifts on the actual day. The second was with cake, ice cream, and grandpas and grandmas that weekend. Both were very fun and made her first birthday a special one. Here are some pictures of our sweet girl and her birthday fun. June 11th: Look mom, no hands! The rice krispy treats were made with strawberry marshmallows. Lana  loved them. She kept saying "mmm" and signing "more, more!" She got a sweet doll from Uncle Reese and Aunt Tammy, and a water table from mom and dad!  The weekend bash: Time to open presents! We'll start with a neat toy boat from Aunt Lexie! Hooray for new books! and some cute clothes from the Coopers And a fun puzzle and nice new outfit from Grandpa and Grandma Averett Kayley was more than happy to help show Lana how to make the best use of her gifts :) Thanks everyone! ...

Halloween is long over; Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year's have all come and gone. Yes, it's a little random to be posting about pumpkins in January, but somehow we missed posting our annual pumpkin carvings  when we did our Halloween post. Better late then never, so here you go :) Katie's pumpkin:  Belle Silhouette Jeff's pumpkin: Rapunzel (Tangled)  Since Jeff's pattern was a little more complex this year, we used transfer paper to copy the design to our pumpkins instead of poking holes We love how they turned out! The Coopers came down to join us again this year. Charity and Christian both did pumpkins. In honor of this year's school play, Charity did Les Mis (We don't have a finished picture because she had to take it home and finish it, but it turned out awesome! Way to go Charity!)  Christian did Link from Zelda. It was a challenging pumpkin, and he did a great job. Now back to January. We are doing great. Lana is gett...

Happy Halloween!

We had a really fun Halloween this year. Kayley was Winnie-the-Pooh and Lana was Piglet. Jeff's work had a family trick-or-treat at the office the Friday before Halloween. Everyone's kids got to dress up and walk around to all the offices/cubicles and get candy. It was a lot of fun! The next day, we had our ward Halloween party. The girls got dressed up again, this time for a trunk-or-treat. (We had some cute pictures from this night, but they accidentally got deleted off our camera). Needless to say, by the time Halloween day rolled around, we'd had enough trick-or-treating and plenty of candy, so we all stayed home to hand treats out to the neighborhood kids. Kayley loved  it. When someone would knock, or ring the doorbell, she would yell "The boys and girls are here!" and run to the front door. Even though they weren't in costume, the girls were decked out in Halloween outfits, and Katie got into the "dressing up" spirit with pig-tails...
