Family Pictures

Joey, Jesse, Mom, Abby, Carly 2001 Salt Lake
Carly getting her hair fixed by her big sister!
Carly just fit in the 5 gallon bucket.

Jacob, about 3 months. Notice this demin blanket in many of the baby pictures! Granny Betty had it made out of our old Levis. It was in the back of our Astro van when it was stolen and we never got it back.
This must have been a very tough cat! That's Jacob giving it some good "lovins".
Jacob with his dog, Coco, a Beagle, on his first birthday.
Jacob with the geese down by the creek on Grandpa's farm. These geese were actually mean, so I'm not sure why he wasn't scared.
Jacob and Katy at the Hogle Zoo in Salt Lake, June 1978
I guess you'll have to look at this sideways, but it's Dad playing soccer in high school. If someone knows how to turn it around, please tell me, OK?
Jacob, age one.


Carly's blessing day. We spent a lot of time on that hair!
Now here's Carly on the quilt. I love this picture.
That's Carly getting a goodnight kiss.

Katy's Family

We have a lot of pictures of grandkids at the park, but they always want to go and it is fun. This time we actually had a look at a giant koi that came up to eat some of the bread we were feeding to the ducks.
Three generations-
We made sugar cookies and decorated them for a fun activity. The girls really got into it.
I think I need a new apron!
I think all babies love to swing outside in the fresh air.
Kelsey packs the baby around like a little mom.

Lily's Blessing

Here are the proud parents of this beautiful little baby girl! It was very sweet hearing Paul give their baby a special blessing. The counselor conducting the meeting also recognized Katy for her contribution to the birth of this baby!

We weren't able to get a family picture this time because all of the other children scattered after Sacrament Meeting in order to get to their Primary classes! Here is one of the parents and grandparents though.
