Graduation and Idaho

Sweet! I am trying out the Blogger App. If all goes smoothly, maybe I'll post more often.

James has started his job in Salt Lake City. He really enjoys working for the church, and the public transportation reminds of good ol' mission days. James job began before he officially graduated, so we returned to beautiful Idaho for his graduation. Unfortunately we did not have time to do everything we hoped to (sorry Wylers, Audra and Amelia). However, time with family at the Triple L Ranch was fabulous and getting to see James graduate was wonderful. Here are some pictures of the long weekend:

I tried to post a blog post earlier with pictures, but I got some comments that the pictures weren't showing up. Instead of re-doing those pictures alone, I will fix those (hopefully) and add some new ones. After visiting a mission companion who just had her baby at the beginning of the month, I was stunned to realize (again) just how fast babies grow! About every 3-5 days James says, "she looks bigger today."

"When will Daddy learn where my bloomers go?"

"Hey, where's my dinner?"

Movie Quote! "Umm, I've been turned into a cow. Can I go home?"

Chillin' in her hoodie.

I'm ready for church!

I'm ready to go home from church now...

PHOTOS

Rachel took some pictures of Olivia on the day she got blessed. Do I have an incredibly wonderful sister or what?!

You have to look at all of them because the BEST picture is at the END!

Uncle Erik and Olivia have the same hair color!

Naked baby pictures is such a silly idea...definitely not potty trained yet. We had a couple of accidents.

 Mommy and Daddy are in love with their bundle of joy.

Tiny fingers.

Simple reminder of why I am the way I am.

"Dad, time for the 'pretty' picture."

Insert witty caption here.

Family at the blessing. We are so grateful for all the support family gives us!

Hello world!

Three generations!

Blessing dress. (She looks like a little Amish baby)

Gearin' up to pee on Daddy. Tee hee hee.

Now aren't you glad you looked through all the pictures?
