Kyle's blessing day

Any attempts made to whittle down the pictures and only show a few were ultimately fruitless. Not even going to try. Most were just too darn good and/or funny & decision-making gives me heart troubles.

5 months old

As timing would have it, his blessing fell exactly on his 5 month birthday. Just as was done when Grant was blessed, Kyle wore the outfit that Landon wore on his blessing day some 30 years ago. Here's a picture of Grant to prove it:

(Grant - August 2006 - my heart hurts to see him this little as I long for him to be my tiny baby again...but I digress)

on the same day at the same church building, Landon's childhood friend was also blessing his daughter (I think I heard discussions of an arranged marriage??)

what's Kyle laughing at?...

why, it's his brother of course

naturally, when young, cute cousins like Gage & Grant get together we must pose them and force them to hold that pose until we've taken enough pictures - BTW: Gage is almost a year younger than Grant

may lightning strike me down if I'm wrong but - seriously - does Grant not have the most cute, witty, and funny expressions on his face? I know I'm his mother and all, but come on.

don't know why I had to include it, but yet here it is
my father and his grandsons
doesn't my mom look ethereal here?
the his-side-of-the-family clan
the my-side-of-the-family clan

Now, it shouldn't be so difficult to take a picture of a small family. Just look forward, everyone over the age of 2 smiles, and the picture is snapped. We successfully did it back in 2006 at Grant's blessing:
(3 years and many pounds ago)

We only added one more person - how did taking the same picture become that much more difficult?

"Grant!...Kyle!"

now we've lost mommy
all looking in the same general direction...good...perfect time for Kyle to spit up

looking good Katy

getting there...

getting there...

good enough.



If I've said it once, I've said it a thousand times - we are so fortunate and blessed to have our sweet Kyle in the family and this was yet another day to celebrate his arrival.

  1. Both of your boys are seriously adorable! I love the first picture. And all of your attemps at a family picture were too funny! I practically have to stand on my head and yodel to get my kids to look at the camera--and I swear I feel like I won the lottery if they are smiling!
