Vorheis Family

Baby Blessing
October 24, 2011
Dylan Asher Vorheis

He hated the shirt that came with his suit, these are the faces I got while he was wearing it.

Dylan's baby blessing was so special. We had it at Mom's house because the doctor told us that during flu season he shouldn't go to church. That having so many people in a closed environment is really bad for a preemie. We had a bit of a stressful week before that, Ben was gone for two weeks. Dylan was sick for a week, he was throwing up, and just wanted to be held. It's hard to have such a little baby sick. I didn't get much sleep or much done that week. We had a flyball tournament that weekend in Utah, so when he felt better we went to my mom's. It was a lot of fun to be somewhere other then our own house. It was nice to have some help with Dylan. We went on a lot of walks, and had fun walking to mom's school to walk her home. We got to spend a little time with his cousins. I think that he and Alex are going to be good friends when their older. The dogs love going to my mom's house and playing with the other black dog. Stetson and Shadow had a great time and Shadow was in the pond the whole time protecting his special place. Ben surprised us and got everyone to agree to come back early, so Friday night I drove to Las Vegas to pick him up. My mom watched Dylan for us so he wouldn't have to be in a car for so long. It was so nice to see him after being apart for two weeks. I'm always excited to see him, but it sure doesn't look like it compared to the dogs. Stetson jumps up in his arms and licks him all over, Maverick starts talking and jumping up around him, and Randsom looks for a ball to give him. He bought a bear for Dylan that makes music, and Dylan loves it. Dylan was pretty happy to have his daddy back. That weekend we had flyball, I'll put the pictures from that up soon. Monday we had his blessing, and then we went back to Vegas after it was over.

His blessing was so special, it was so nice to have have family come over. My dad did the blessing, and did such a great job. Dylan was blessed with health, and that he will love life. That he'll be a peacemaker, and that he'll have a love of the scriptures. That so many people love him and his heavenly father loves him. It was such a special blessing. Thanks so much dad.

He was crying for about twenty minutes before the blessing, fell asleep right before, and woke up right after. We had Pat Jenson from Hurricane 7th ward come over. Brad was able to come over, it was really nice that he was here at our baby blessing, the last time we saw him was when he married us. My good friend Gail came with her husband Allen. Our friends Casey and Andrea came with their little girls. From the family we had my Mom and Dad, Jessica, Jenny and Aaron, Justin, Jeremy and Brittney with their little boys. We had a fruit tray, lemonade, chocolate eclairs, and chocolate cupcakes. Thanks so much for everyone that could come, it was such a special day.
