Hudson's blessing, Scott's baptism, May 2015

A week filled with so many blessings
1. Little Hudson receives his name and a beautiful blessings from his Dad
Their family is growing so much. It was such a fun day.
Dusty in the front and Jeffrey, Val holding Hudson, Kaden, Suzy with such a cute haircut, 
Ryan in the back. 

2. Emily, Mike, and Noelle

3. Scott and Jeffrey

4. Monday night we went to one of Jeffrey's baseball games. It was so much fun to
watch him play. They really have quite a good team.
After the game we went to U. Bill's and planned the family reunion. It
sounds like it will be the biggest one yet, so try and come.
June 19th and 20th at Earley Park.

5. Then we went to see Mike and Emily in "Shrek the Musical." We went
with Daniel and Ellen. It was really good and the costuming was amazing.
Yes, Mike is one of the three little pigs. 



6. Dad has been working hard on enlarging the chicken run,
Josh came over to help him finish up the last of it before it rained again.

7. Such a beautiful day on Saturday with Scott getting baptized.
I don't think we will have another month where three grandkids are getting 
baptized. Caleb the first week, Scott the second week, and Olivia the last week in May.
It's such an important decision to make, and I'm proud of them all.

8. Caleb, Scott, and Isaac sang "Jesus Came to John the Baptist" for a
musical number at the baptism. It was so cute. I think Emily posted it.

9. I promised them they could do a silly picture after the serious one, so here it is:

10. After eating at Rob's we went to Spencer and John's Shakespeare play,
"Mid Summer Night's Dream." I was actually amazed at the how good it was.
I think that play needs to be done by teenagers. They all did an excellent job.
John played the director of the play within the play. 
He was so good and played the character perfectly.

11. Spencer played Demetrius, and he did such a good job, as did all the kids.
I was very impressed and had such a good laugh.

12. Spencer and John after the play


13. Dad and Daniel making Mother's Day dinner, actually it was the rhubarb cake and Daniel got to taste his first freshly picked rhubarb. Then they both went down to the railroad tracks
and came back with a whole bunch of asparagus. Dinner was delicious.

14. I'm not sleeping. I was just soaking up joy from sitting here looking at the pictures
of our family on the wall. I am so full of joy and gratitude and love.

Thank you all for being our children. I don't know where the time has gone.
I'm sure we have made many mistakes in parenting, but we tried our best and we 
love you all so very much. I'm so grateful that Heavenly Father entrusted you to our care, and thank
you all for teaching and taking such good care of us. Life is so good.
