Baby Blessing

We blessed little Gracie in Kanosh, Utah on father's day

It was a bittersweet day as Grandpa Stott and Granny Genho were dearly missed

these are actually post-blessing in Texas

Papa with 19 out of 22 of the Genho grandchildren- we didn't get a picture with Brian's side

but picture 18 grandchilden with Brian's mom - so lots of chaos at the Stott homestead

lots more pictures and details to follow  

This is a picture of Jacob climbing on an old truck on Brian's parent's farm.

Merry eating generic captain crunch and climbing on a truck- good times

On Friday Gracie turned 1 month old- sorry no photos as I didn't have time to think of something new to put her in to take her picture (she has out grown her flower pot)

Jacob finished up his soccer season on Saturday- Brian tried out our zoom lens on the camera-he thought it was pretty awesome- I do too (good job Brian on the photography), I love the action shots- especially the last one where the orange guy is trying to pull him down by the shirt- totally a yellow card. 3 year old soccer is rough.

Saturday evening we went to the ward picnic - the highlight of the evening is when partially potty trained Merry came running up with her pants half way down, bum hanging out and diaper in hand saying she had to use the potty- fabulous

Sunday Jacob gave his first talk in primary- he informed everyone that his mommy and daddy got married in the Mad guy temple, oh well close enough (really the Manti temple for those who don't speak Jacobese)

Pretty swell weekend all in all

My garden & 4 weeks old

4 weeks old and already a book worm- what has she been reading -
Alexander Hamilton ofcourse

Happy B-day Jacob

Today is Jacob's birthday, be warned there is a lot of pictures

1st view

so stinkin' cute

3rd birthday

Jacob with his harem of women on his 4th birthday

Jacob is such a sweet boy, most of the time.  I asked Jacob what he wanted for his birthday and he told me he wanted to get baby Gracie a toy that she could play with when she got bigger.  Merry piped up that she would like a present too- Jacob just looked at her and said it's not your birthday.  Oh well he is sweet to half of his sisters

eating icecream after a soccer game- my face looked the same, but I didn't look as cute so I wouldn't let Brian take any pictures

One nervous baby and
more matching outfits- I swore I would never dress my kids in matching outfits, but they look so dang cute I just can't help it
April- I have a nikon D50- which I love

3 weeks old

Gracie at 3 weeks

I lost the pink blanket that looked like this- either it is packed up some where or it got left at somebody's house in between here and utah- oh well the blue will have to do-that is what the bow is for 

this is how my morning was going

to merry -Why are you spitting milk in your brothers hair?

Why did you put towels in the sink and turn the water on?

to Jacob- Why are walking with a bowl on your foot?

Why did you lock merry in the bathroom?

Thank goodness for quite time- aka group nap- and lots of diet coke- and when Brian comes home
