Kade's Blessing
Jon's parents, brother, Brandon, and Grandpa Jenkins were all able to come. We were so glad they could make it, especially Grandpa Jenkins so we could capture the four generations photo. After our meetings we had a luncheon at our house with a couple other families from the ward, the Dunn's and Cobia's, Great-Aunt Peggy, and Jon's family. It was a beautiful day.
I forgot to mention this cool tidbit. The blessing outfit for Kade was the same one Grandpa Terry and Jon wore for their blessings and the blanket was made by Great-Grandma Jenkins with which each of our kids have been blessed.
Where does it hurt?
3/14/05 Lauren's cough continues, and after her heartbreaking cries of, "I don't like my cough." I asked her where it hurt, thinking it could be either her throat or her chest. She said, "Right here." Then mouth wide open she pointed to her throat with her entire hand in her mouth and her finger at the back until she gagged.
2/19/08 This morning, we are eating breakfast when J interrupts the brief silence with a small basement burp. Without missing a beat, Lauren says, "What do you say, Daddy?" He excuses himself, then still in her motherly tone adds, "We don't fart at the table do we?"
Junk Food
9/16/08 Yesterday Lauren learned the difference between junk food and healthy food. So this morning, when she saw Rissie with a piece of candy, she said, "Mom, can I please have some junk food?"
2/9/08 Today Lauren asked me to redo her hair because it was "falling off!"
Cookie Dough
L: (in her sweetest voice) "Mom, can I have some cookie dough please?"
M: "Sure."
L: "Well," pause, "do you think you can get it from the fridge so I can like it?"
4/20/2008 So Lauren got some gum (not a fan) for being a good girl. Later, Jon asked her if she had swallowed it. She said, "No." Then he asked if she threw it away. She said, "No." So he asked her where it was, she told him it was in her throat.
L. and R. have been singing and dancing to their new piano that plays fun tunes. L. has been learning them and singing them around the house. A few days ago I overheard her sining, "Mary had a little sheep, little sheep, little sheep,...
Finding the Moon
Lauren shouts, "Grandma, there is the moon!" She started singing Twinkle Little Star, but in the mean time we had turned the corner and she soon discovered it was gone. So she tells Grandma, "We need to find another moon." 01/13/08
Kids are the best source of laughter
- I was getting dressed and L happened to be there and as I reached for my br_ she asked, "Mom, you put your b__bs on?"12/07
- R had gotten in trouble for something, then after some reflection L said matter of factly, "Well, she's learning."12/07
- L just told Jon to look at her stomach then lifted her arm, pulled down her sleeve, and showed him her armpit.12/07

Wow, Kade looks more like Becky's baby pictures than he used to! It surprised me. What fun (nice job on the album pages).
Oh what a special day :)
What a nice post! The pictures are great, especially the four generation. And - - Kade in his Dad's and Grandpa's blessing outfit. Pretty cool. Love you all.
How neat! Sorry we couldn't be there! He's a cute little bug, though, and I'm glad I can see him in photos at least. Thank goodness for this new age of blogging! :)
How amazing that so much family could come! Such a special, special day. I love heirloom blessing outfits :)
