One Month and Holding!

Nathaniel is now one month old and I finally go to hold him!

It felt so good!

And he seemed very relaxed as well.

Hope it won't be long before his family will be holding him all they want at home!

I Can't Wait Until I'm Eight!

This is a big year in our family!  

Four granddaughters will be baptized between August and December!

Here are some pictures of the four girls:

We are excited to participate in all of their baptisms!

We are proud of each one!!

P.S. A week ago Sunday I got pulled into Primary because a teacher did not show up.  I was happy to help and especially glad I had brought my Bendaroos.  After talking about temples I gave each of the kids some Bendaroos and asked them to make a temple with them.  I was so impressed with what some of them came up with:

Our Fun Week!

 Castle Park!

Games of Koob!
(Including a round that went so long we had to use flashlights!)

 The spectators:

 Hot afternoon=Indoor Miniature Golf with Black Light...

(Matthew is wearing a black shirt in the foreground!)

 Took this one with a flash:

 Slip and Slide...

 Learning new games: Snake Oil and Ticket To Ride!

Biggest hit: Magna Tiles!  Wish I had taken photos of all the amazing creations that were made.  But on the last morning they built a tall tower and used nerf guns to shoot at it!

I did get this picture:

  (Activities not photographed: Bowling,  Swimming and other visits with Perrys and Melanchuks)

And of course, every evening: Bingo for Ice Cream Cones!

Now that really was a fun week!
