Blessing Day

Malcom was blessed last Sunday in church by his dad while his grandpa Lance, the bishop, and his uncle Kevin helped. Thanks to all those who showed their support and attended!

It's funny how baby blessings go- they're sweet when you hear other people's baby's being blessed, but it's so much more special when it's your own husband and baby! It was a wonderful experience to say the least. I love having the priesthood in our home, and I couldn't be more proud of my boys. Ben even wore his Matheson clan tartan tie! That's pride, I tell you what.

Afterward we had a BBQ at our apartment which was very tasty. My brother, Kevin, and Ben decided that they had to cut our watermelon with a machete (it was on sale at Walmart last year on Ben's birthday. I had to get it... I mean, what's more manly than a machete?)... Good times in the Matheson house. Yep yep.

Here are some pictures of Mr. Malcom in his white suit before we headed to church. My mom bought this little romper-suit from the Distribution Center online (thanks mom!). It ended up being waaay to big for my little man so I hemmed up the sleeves and legs, then I couldn't stop myself so I cut off the collar around the vest, then adjusted the collar around the neck to fold down. We finished it up by making a tie- it turned out really cute, if I say so myself!

Grandpa Lance, Daddy & Malcom (for some reason these guys don't like smiling for pictures.. Grr..)


Mr. Malcom

I plan on getting Malcom back in the outfit to take more pics, he just looked so cute! Anyway, here's another cute pic from the weekend:

Check out that drool! He sure does love Grandma!

Well folks that's all for now. Love to all!

Let's Start at the Very Beginning...

Wooooaaah!
I can't believe I'm doing this. I have finally succumbed to the peer pressure and am actually writing a blog. I shake my head in shame at myself. Oh well, I guess it can't be helped. Besides, a mom can never have too many avenues and opportunities to brag about her kid. :) Okay, so since this is our first blog here I believe I should make some clear points:


1. While I may be kind and entertain the internet audiences out there occasionally, it will by no means be on a regular basis. I am lazy, forgetful, and have my hands full of baby most of the time. Also, I am forgetful. Anyone who pressures me to update the blog will be promptly taken out back and flogged with a herring.

2. I am not always "entertaining". If I write a blog that bores you it's you're fault for reading it. You're also a jerk for not thinking it's funny.

3. I don't get a lot of sleep and as a result, typically don't make a lot of sense. Any grammatical corrections made by a reader will also be taken out back and flogged. Then forgotten.

4. Encouraging, witty, or especially clever comments are always welcome.

5. Since I was in junior high I have had the habit of using emoticon smileys (such as ;) and :), etc.), sometimes to excess. I also enjoy exclamation marks on occasion, and these are things that I have not been able to overcome. Sorry if it annoys anyone out there...


I feel better now that we have that established. Now to finish getting this here blog fancied-up and invite everyone to the online party. Woohoo!





Stay tuned: Malcom smiles, blessing day, and two-month shots are all coming up in the next week...
