Bridget Beth Deaton- it's official :)

We had Bridget blessed a couple of weeks ago on July 18, and it was an amazing day for all of us!  We had so much support from our family and friends- thank you everyone for coming!  My mom came up on Saturday to help shop for food and cook it all- it was a big job!  Our A/C had broke the week before and we were so nervous it wouldn't get fixed in time- but thank heaven for overnight shipping so the part got here Friday morning.  It could have been a miserable weekend in the 100 degree heat cooking up a storm.  Thanks UPS...  We had Cafe Rio salads and TONS of yummy desserts made by Grandma Deaton and the Ludlows.  Everyone pitched in and brought something to share.  Our house is a littel small for a gathering of such size, so we had everyone to Merlin Olsen park.  It was great fun right by a little creek and park all the kids could play in- see pics below :)  Tanner, my mom and I went by Saturday  night to check it out and see what we had to work with.  Well, needless to say, the pavillion was so gross!  I don't think it had been cleaned up all summer.  So, we gathered some supplies- jugs of water (due to no water supply), brooms, buckets, and rags to do some clean-up.  At about 9:00 we headed over and started the job- we sure looked like Logan City Parks and Rec clean-up crew.  My mom was a trooper and even waded in the creek to get some extra water!  It really did make a difference, and it looked so much better.  We should have taken before and after shots to show Logan City- we were not pleased!

We have such great family that came ALL the way from Salt Lake and Nephi.  We love you all and are so grateful you could share this special day with us and Bridget Beth!!!! 

Baby B in her dress- the baby prom dress!  Sorry it's sideways...  I heard of a great idea to have blessing dress made out of my wedding dress, so I went on a quest to find someone to make it for me.  A girl in my ward- Shantel told me she sewed and made the beautiful dress for us!  She did a fantastic job and we were so excited to have her make it!
