Ian's Blessing

This last weekend we had Ian's blessing. We debated on canceling it because poor Ian had been sick but he was a little bit better by Sunday morning thanks to a new humidifer, prayers and a priesthood blessing from his daddy . We have a great support group of family and friends who were there to help us celebrate this beautiful baby.









He had just woken up and I could NOT get him to crack a smile, but he is still cute.

Madelyn however was all smiles and giggles with her Uncle Ira!



My brother Ira took over the grandfather responsibilites since my mom and dad couldn't be there because of illness. Maddy just adores him and laughs and laughs with him. He even has been known to play barbies with her!



My SIL Teralyn, isn't she cute? She is quite the aunt too. When Ian was coughing up the junk that was in his chest she patiently patted his back and held him upright and gave him words of encouragement. Want to know what aunt Anna did when he started hacking? Jumped off the couch and ran the other way! Haa haa, we love you Anna, and I am sad that I didn't get one picture with you and the kids! Anna got to stay until Monday morning.


As we were sitting in church waiting for it to start, it was noticed that these four share a striking resemblence! So Anna and I had to take some pictures!
This is Addison, my friends daughter who is obviously great with babies, she rocked Ian to sleep!

The Kikkerts even came from Salt Lake City, their company is always welcome, we love them!





Grammy Jody drove all the way to Utah on Friday, spent Saturday with us and Sunday morning then had to head back. That is about 20 hours of driving in a three day period! Ian was so sad and sick while she was here, but in this picture as she was holding him before she left to go back home, he finally gave her some smiles!

Who doesn't laugh when Ira is around? He always was one of our favorite babysitters!

Glad you had such a crowd for precious Ian! What an adorable little outfit. Where did you get it?
And I'd like to know why you don't look any older than freshman college days. Quite impressive for a new (again) mommy!

I want to hold Ian! We were so sad to have missed the blessing. Jared tells me nothing, so I didn't know you were doing it than. Give him(and Ry and Maddie and Scott if you must) a huge smooch for us, and we'll see you hopefully soon.

well it doesn't suprise me one bit that I am not in any pictures. Wasn't I the one taking all the pictures? And it isn't a family gathering without me being missing...

Dare Essay winner

Image
 (Early Spring 2022)  Ian was selected to read his essay at his DARE graduation! They called the top three essays for each class and Ian’s was picked to read for Mr Thompson’s class. They had to read their essay on the spot in front of the whole 5th grade and their parents! He was just getting over a sickness so his voice was a bit crackly but he did great! He got a big trophy too! I had a cough drop and bottled water in my purse in case he needed it, but he didn’t. Mr. Thompson pulled me aside and jokingly said that he has highly considering holding Ian back so he could be in his class again, he just thinks he is the coolest kid.  Ian has also loved Academic Team this year! He took 4th place in the science assessment category and was able to compete at regionals.                                                      His best buddies Keaton...

Grandpa & Grandma Young Visit

Image
Grandma & Grandpa Young drove all the way from Idaho to visit us!  It took them 2 1/2 days because they stopped at Mt. Rushmore, but they got here around 1:00 pm and we were all so excited and when Rylan got off the bus, they were there waiting for him! With G & G Young comes the I-pad which is a good way for Grandmas and Grandpas to get to actually hold their grandkids all they want.   Ian learned quite a bit from the I-pad just from their time here.   Ian has learned to say, "cheese" whenever someone points a camera at him  I am sorry to say that we didn't do that much, and when I asked them what they wanted to do they said that just wanted to watch me be a mom and play with the kids. They even babysat while Scott and I went to a dance, and when Scott was out of town I went to play with friends one Friday.  I felt guilty leaving but they insisted on letting me have a night out away from kids.  We did hav...

Scott asked the priests in our ward especially those who had achieved an Eagle rank in scouts to teach first aid to the activity day boys. Each boy was assigned a to...
