The Carters: A Name and a Blessing

We blessed our sweet Trey a couple of weeks ago, on December 14th. Due to some scheduling conflicts, it worked out better for us to fly to Reno and bless Trey in my home ward than to have everyone come out to Boise. So Trey got to take his first plane ride! I was so nervous that he would be fussy or restless on the plane, but he actually did really well. He slept for most of the flights and even though our flights were delayed and we had to hang out in airports for a while he was still just happy and easygoing!

Ty's parents came for the blessing, as well as Rochelle and her family, and Kyle and his family came to meet baby Trey later that afternoon. We were so grateful to have so many loved ones around and that Trey got to meet more of his cousins!

He looked so handsome in his little white suit! As soon as I had dressed him I realized that he hadn't pooped that morning, and he usually has a pretty good bowel movement right when he wakes up. So of course I worried about him having a blowout in his white outfit all the way to the church. Sure enough, Ty heard some pretty loud noises coming from Trey's car seat on our way to church. as soon as we got to the parking lot I had Ty basically carry Trey by the armpits into the bathroom and had him hold Trey up while I unsnapped everything. Long story short, we averted a big mess and only ended up with a tiny unnoticeable wet spot on the outfit. The things I stress about nowadays...

The blessing was beautiful. I'm thankful for the opportunity we had to be there as a family, and for Ty to bless our little boy. It was a sweet experience and I'm so grateful for the love and the peace I felt during that moment.

Afterwards we spent time enjoying family and celebrating the special day. Trey was passed around and snuggled and kissed by everyone. We had a great time catching up with family members we hadn't seen in a while
