Our Busy Weekend

This past weekend all of Gary's brothers, their families, his parents, aunt and uncle, and others came into town for our nephew Josh's baptism. Kamie's brother even came all the way from Germany. We had a great time seeing everyone and are very proud of Josh. He has made a great decision to be baptized into the church and we are grateful to have been able to be there for it. Here are some fun pictures from after the baptism.

Dan, Jill, and Eowyn

Joe, Ethan, Lillie, and Eowyn as Ethan plays some playstation.

Cute little Eowyn who just turned 3.

Dan, Sammy, and Steve playing playstation (you can probably tell already that playing video games was a big hit with the kids).

Lillie on the swing. She was very funny as I was pushing her, she kept calling out to people and saying "I swinging". She even said "Baby James, I swinging Baby James". Another funny line from when we were at the baptism was "Look Baby James, I pretty". She was very proud of her pretty dress.

Josh playing with his birthday gift, a big frisbee.

Kamie grilling food for everyone, despite being a little nauseous from the pregnancy.

Wayne and Shannon, such a cute couple and soon to have a new addition to their family in a few months.

Gary's parents even got some gaming in. Gary thought he would never see this happen, but I think they enjoyed racing each other.

Bill and Ella

Holly watching Ella chow down on some plastic food.

Laree and me

Aunt Bonnie and Uncle LaDell with James

Bonnie holding James as he does his new wrinkly nose face.

This is a video taken after the festivities that I thought was pretty funny. I know it's another dancing video, but James is always rockin' out whenever he hears music.

I love the pic of him on the swing! :) He was so happy!

I love the dancing videos! Levi doesn't dance as much as he used to, but still will occasionally. I think he has to like the song now, where before he would just whenever he heard music. Keep up the moves James!

It looks like you have a little rock-star on your hands!

Isn't it so much fun having your family around? I look forward to ANY time I get to see my brothers.

Thanks guys. It was really fun to see everybody. It had been quite awhile, I think, since all six of us were in the same place.

Impressive blog. I will have to visit more often and leave comments so Gary knows I am following and because it might be the only mark I leave on the internet since it seems unlikely that I will ever be able to keep up with a blog of my own. :)
