AMAZING Weekend!

Two weeks ago, on Saturday, April 9, Mia became an eternal part of our family. She was sealed to us in the Bountiful Temple. It was a wonderful day and we had so much family there supporting us. We also had Mia's birth mom and birth grandparents there as well. It was so nice to be surrounded by so much love and support on such a special day. We were hoping to get some great pictures outside but as you can see from our background, we came out of the sealing and it was a blizzard so we had to settle for pictures in the atrium instead.Our first picture as an eternal family.


Us with Monty's parents. All of Monty's siblings were there as well but our camera died before we got pictures with them so I'll have to get those pictures from someone else.


Us and my parents (Monty is showing Mia her bracelet she got from her cousins.



We also got some pictures with Mia and her birth mom and grandparents but I decided not to put those on the web for privacy reasons but it was nice to see them again and have them there supporting us.



The following day on Sunday we blessed Mia. She is officially Mia Kay Borrowman. Well I guess she already was but it was nice to finally be able to bless her. You have to wait until the adoption is finalized. Mia's birth mom, parents, 3 of birth mom's sisters, and a niece attended her blessing and then came over to the house afterwards to meet more of Mia's family. Our house was a little crazy. After everyone left we counted up how many were there and we had 45 people in our house. We enjoyed fruit crepes and a yummy breakfast casserole. Mia even decided to give a small group of people who were there later a treat. She FINALLY ROLLED OVER! For the first time at 6 1/2 months she managed to roll from her belly to her back. But of course she hasn't done it since that Sunday. I try and get her to roll and she just plays for a few minutes and then gets mad. Sadly I don't have any pictures from Sunday. I'm going to blame it on the weather and the fact that all 45 people were in the house because it was cold and snowy outside and that put my stress level at an all time high for the weekend. However, thanks to wonderful family help it all went off without a hitch. Tomorrow I'm putting Mia back in her dress to get some pictures of just her and some pictures of her with Monty in his suit.



OK so I know this has nothing to do with our wonderful weekend but I just have to laugh at this picture of Mia just chilling in her tub. She loves bath time and doesn't even complain if I get water in her eyes while washing here hair. One of these days I'm going to have to take her to Aunt Trina's so we can try swimming in her pool. One final note. On my way to work tonight Monty text me to tell me that Mia rolled over. This time back to belly for the very first time. I guess she just doesn't want to show off for me and needs a better audience.
