Family Party

Thanks again to Camille for being the gracious host of the family gathering. Her home affords us lots of room for visiting, eating, and watching football games. Mike favors Alabama while Tom's allegiance is BYU. The bantering is healthy especially if both teams win.

Connor was the reason for the party. He was to receive the Aaronic Priesthood the next day and asked Grandpa Tom to ordain him. This was a choice blessing for us to be there. Thanks for the invitation.

Heather is having to be a nursemaid to Ryan.
He looks happy about it.


He has a badly injured knee and still smiles
even though the pain is full of barbs.

Heather and Jase will be taking care of Ryan.
The surgery to repair the torn parts will be very soon
and then Ryan's smile will be genuine.
Lincoln found some interesting equipment for the night
and surprised everyone. It is always a treat to visit with the firefighter,Clayton.
He is having some interesting experiences.
Morgan is enjoying her first year of high school.
Wow! Where has the time gone? She is all grown up.
Daxton is a darling baby, sweet, and seldom cries.
He already sleeps through the night.
He's contented and cares very little about who holds him
until he gets hungry. Everyone smothered him with kisses and hugs.
What is there about a new baby that makes grownups so silly?

He is our newest family member
and we are also celebrating his name and blessing day.
Two wonderful events happening the same Sunday.
Melynda is happy her baby boy is healthy and happy
and shares him with everyone, especially her sister, McKensie.
Pauli now has three grandsons.
We would welcome a little baby girl at any time
if one of these young gals would make it their goal for the coming year.
The noise level is pretty high when all the boys get together.
Steve is always helpful especially when the little people need a hug.
Adam and Mason are interested in the pumpkins and orange lights. What a wonderful party!

Joy, you must be older than me, because you have three great grandchildren and my oldest grandchild just turned 14. Wow!

So fun to see photos of your beautiful family and you precious grandchildren AND Great grandchildren.

Pauli looks so much like you. Same beautiful smile! However it does seem like a long time ago when I used to watch Pauli and Jonna when we all lived in Wymount Terrace, married BYU student housing. I'm with Tom, Go BYU. I LOVED that BYU beat Oklahoma since their fans are so obnoxious when they come to Boulder CO, to play CU.
Love,
Kathleen
