Graduation and Baby Blessing

So much for those "pictures soon to come..." My dad took most of the pictures, it took a while to get them from him, and, let's be honest, I don't have much time for blogging now. Such is the life of a working mom who is about to move :)

About a month ago, Dax graduated from BYU and Dallin had his baby blessing all in the same weekend. Dax's entire immediate family came out for it, and my parents made the trip as well. The weather was ideal, the company was good, and we had such a memorable weekend. We got a new fancy shmancy camera for graduation, and it has been so much fun. I feel way more legit taking pictures now, even if I don't know what I'm doing...

A few months ago I got a nice cake decorating set that I'd been wanting to use, so I decided to make Dax and Holly a little graduation cake. It was a little ambitious with timing of everyone in town, but I think it turned out really well, not to mention it was delicious! Try not to look too closely, but I free handed the Y, homemade frosting and fondant, and I quickly free handed the rest of the lettering.

Dallin's blessing was a really tender experience. I think we counted around 50 family and friends that came to support us on Dallin's special day! Dax gave him the blessing with both of our dads, his brother, Brock, his grandpa, and three uncles. As exhausted as Dallin was that weekend, he was an angel for it :)

That's a 4 generation picture :)

He's 3 1/2 months now and really starting to fill out. I'm not sure what he weighs now (his next appointment is next week), but he's not the little baby that he used to be :) I was wrong about him being within days of rolling over back to front. He's still trying to figure that one out. Dallin has gotten very interactive. We'll have a little conversation back and forth everyday when I get home from work: me asking about his day and him cooing in response. It's adorable. He still sleeps through the night! On Saturday night when I put him to bed, I told him, "Sleep in and sleep well." He totally did! He woke up at 8:15! I thought I was dreaming, but he actually listened to his mama :) Today it was more like 7:30, but I'll take that any day over his 6 AM feedings.

As far as updates from the Jarnagin's go, we are moving next week back to Dallas! Dax has a job working for Deloitte in the fall, so right now we're just getting everything packed up and ready to go. We're a little unsure about how Dallin will do in the car for two days, but I guess we'll just have to roll with the punches. I have 2 1/2 days left of work. It's definitely bittersweet for me. I'll miss teaching for sure, but I am going to LOVE being able to stay home with Dallin. I've felt like I couldn't give 100% to either work or my home responsibilities, so it will be nice to put my all toward my family. Being a mom rocks!
