A Special Sunday

Homemade cards are the best!

Grandma B. makes the most awesome cards, Sophie (left) and Sage (right), want to frame theirs.

With Grandma D. and Uncle Mike. 

On the girls birthday, Josh was ordained an elder, so we celebrated both special events.  Josh’s blessing from his dad was so meaningful, and I was set apart as a new Relief Society teacher and received a wonderful blessing as well, by the bishopric.  Such a neat day, I’m so thankful for my family and blessings of the Priesthood!

After Paul’s could be famous BBQ chicken, we indulged in this Oreo Guittard Chocolate Cream cake from Kneaders, YUM.

Thanks for coming Uncle Mike!!  They think he’s the best thing since ice-cream, and vice versa. 

Sophie changed out of her dress the first chance she got, when I told her I wasn’t done taking pictures, she changed and came back like this, nice blue accent.

Now purple?  Sage put on a skirt in hopes she wouldn’t have to change back to her dress, sheesh.  Thanks Grandma & Grandpa for the small soccer balls for their room

and a soccer goal! just what they wanted.  Thanks Grandma & Grandpa D!

XOXO!

A week-end with Grandpa

So sweet seeing the kids rekindle a relationship with their Grandpa that they don’t see often (lives out of state). Didn’t take long to catch up and get attached again. He swam with them, joined us for the big parade & lunch at the Lion House, even threw a football with the kids one night.

Cute seeing the kids talk with their grandpa about his farm, his hobbies, and what he liked as a kid.  Grandpa reading them a story each night and Sage making sure he got a spoon quickly in the fast card game of Spoons :).

he wanted to hear them play and sing…

We’ve got some musicians in the house!  Josh talked in church today about his Trek experiences. He was asked 1/2 hour before the meeting so he winged it, did great and made us laugh. It was such a neat meeting hearing the youth share their experiences. Nick went 4 years ago, good memories, and Trevor will go in 2015.

thanks for the yummy lamb steaks, we smoked it with Hickory. Tasty!

a very fun Grandpa week-end. Come again soon!
