weekend life.


i feel like i only blog about my sundays. well, anyways i like sundays and it's the only day that daniel is completely ours, so it makes sense. yesterday we decided to eat dinner on our veranda.
it was b e a u t i f u l. the weather, ah, the weather. is crisp and sunny. i am loving this brazillian fall time thing.


after dinner we made some chocolate chip cookies and took them to a friends house. we came home and wrestled on the bed (well, just the boys did actually), read family scriptures and watched henry beat up charles and listen to charles giggle his little heart out. he is such a good sport.

our family in the elevator. notice that daniel has his utah shirt on and i am sporting a byu one, we are a millennial family. 

do you get it? like we made charles and henry....

charles blessing day

sunday was such a beautiful day. we celebrated one of my favorite holidays (isn't easter amazing?) and blessed one of my favorite babies. and spent all day with my favorite people.

peaceful and dreamy.

my sister-in-law, victoria had her baby last week. the cutest little full headed blonde baby boy you ever did see. liam lance has made our life in brazil even brighter. victoria and alex moved to campinas 3 weeks ago and we are so grateful they are closer. i am not sure how she is doing all that she is doing but liam was at charles' blessing. and grandma vicki.

daniel gave charles a name and blessing. in the blessing he talked about the influence for good charles will have in the lives of people he will meet as he grows older. he talked about his powerful spirit of righteousness in our home and how grateful we are that he is ours. he talked about his full time mission and eventually marriage to a worthy daughter of god in the temple of the lord.

it was beautiful.

daniel of course gave it in portuguese, so this is what he told me he said...! ha.
