Wild, Wild Week: Perfect Ending

After all the driving and activities we did this week, what could possibly get us to wake everybody up at 7:00 a.m. Saturday morning and drive all the way to Idaho again? Yeah, it was that awesome - Tate got baptized and Keaton got blessed, all in one morning. It was so wonderful to feel the peaceful spirit that was there, and to see how excited Tate was. My kids were excited for him, too, and it was amazing that as silly as they are, they became reverent during the ordinances. They definitely felt how special the events are.

Afterwards we had food, lots of laughing, kids playing . . . and it all goes fuzzy in my brain after that. I know I enjoyed myself, and we stayed until Sunday afternoon. And looking at the pictures, it seems like, oops, I did it again - my parents were there, but we only have pictures of kids. I need to pay attention to what I'm taking pictures of . . .

Josh and Tate - so excited.

Tate was so cute with Andrew

It's our adorable blessing boy! Lissy is interested in him, but too tired to act like it here.

The men of the day and their beautiful mama.

Lissy and Violet

Cousins from all sides had a blast running and jumping into the pool.

The girls have to stick together.

Why are kids in goggles so adorable?

Josh and Tate working really hard on getting their Just Dance moves just right.  This would be better suited for a video, they were pretty serious about it. 

Double rainbow all the way across the sky . . . you can't really tell, but it was a gorgeous way to end the day.

See the concentration? The precision?

Lissy loved Braden sitting next to her. Every time he'd try to leave she'd say, "No, no, no."

All of the girl-cousins got matching Easter dresses, and since they weren't together on Easter, they did a little reprise on Sunday and we took some pictures. A cat was involved, so it wasn't easy.
