This weekend we had West's baby blessing. Brandon, Amanda, Jocelyn, Taryn, and Kaden visited from Provo, to be here for the blessing. It is about a ten hour drive. They got in Friday night about ten and left Sunday morning right after the blessing. Aaron's brother Alex also came for the blessing. He took a train from Portland to be here. It was so nice to have family here for the blessing. It was also nice to have them here for Halloween.
Jack is a pro when it comes to trick or treating. One of the doors we knocked had a bowl on the front porch that said, "take some." Jack picked the bowl up moved it in front of him and started taking pieces out one by one to put in his bag. It was pretty funny, we had to make him stop, i believe if we had not he would have emptied the whole bag. One of the houses we walked up to had a man dressed up in black with a scream mask on. Jack looked at him for a second and then turned around screaming and crying. He was so scared that his whole body was shaking. It took us a little while to calm him down, and then he kept saying scary! Taryn joined and said, "he is a mean man." I felt pretty bad for Jack, but all in all they had a fun night.
It was so fun to see Jack and Taryn play together again. It has been six months since they have seen each other. Jack would walk around the house saying "Taryn where are you, oh there you are. I found you!!" Taryn is so so funny when West was hungry she said, "oh no he is starving and hungry. She also said that the reason West was crying was because he missed his daddy. I am so so grateful that they came and visited for the blessing! I have not seen Brandon and Amanda since I graduated in April. Seeing my family made me so so happy, I have really really missed them! Here are some pictures from the short weekend.

Happy Halloween and happy baby blessing to you! Your kids are so cute!
Yay for fun Halloween visitors! That made me sad thinking how Jack and Taryn are separated. At least they're family so you guys will always meet up a few times a year.
The Union Square ward is making a photo book for Bishop Brown who is being released. Send me a picture from a ward gathering or just of you guys and a little message for Bishop Brown so we can include some people who have moved. Thanks! camimacias@gmail.com
