Fun with Papa

I tend to think my kids have a really awesome grandpa.  Their Papa loves them to death and they think he is just the coolest guy around (except for Daddy of course)!

After Caleb’s blessing on Sunday, we were out back watching some of the planes fly over head for the air show at Hill Air Force Base that is just a few miles from our house.

My Dad started swinging them in their little plastic chairs and they were squealing with delight!

We hung out at their house on Memorial Day and here’s a picture of Adam, Abby, and Harrison playing with Papa.  Harrison is almost 1 and he thinks my kids are so funny.  Adam, especially loves to get him to laugh and blow raspberries with his finger on his lips.

I hope they always know how lucky they are to have a grandpa as fun and loving as their Papa!  Now if he were just in town more often….

Caleb’s Blessing Day

Caleb was blessed in our ward by his Daddy on Sunday, May 27th.  It was a beautiful spring day and he was surrounded by many loving family members.

He wore a tiny white knit jumper and looked so cute and fresh from heaven.

My Handsome Boy!

He has lost virtually all his hair on top.  He totally looks like an old man!


Our family of FIVE!

After the blessing, we crammed everyone into our little townhouse for some goodies.

There was the obligatory, “Pass the Baby”.  Here Caleb is snuggling with his Aunt Annie.

Cousin Samantha is the only girl with 3 brothers and she is just a sweet little mommy in the making.

Nana, Uncle Tom, and Papa

I couldn’t resist posting a picture of this little dude, Cousin Harrison.  I can’t get enough of those chubby cheeks!  (and chunky thighs, and rubber band-looking wrists!)

I feel so blessed to have brought little Caleb into such wonderful families.  He sure is loved by all of them!
