Perry's Baby Shower

Yesterday we had the baby shower for Perry.  Yesterday was also Mitchell & Perry's one year anniversary.  This last year has flown by!  

The baby shower was held out our house in the backyard. 

The weather was a little cool but still really nice.  

Brent had the fire pit going at the back of the yard.  Several guests stayed close to the warm fire while gifts were opened.

 The best part of having the party in our backyard is that Brent FINALLY had to clean the back yard and patio.  Cleaning up after a construction project is low on his list of priorities.  I love the newly cleaned and organized backyard!

 The poopy diaper game.  Yuck??

 Julie looks like she just might take a bite.

 Present time!

 Janine got baby Kingsleigh a super cute jag print outfit.  

 Great-Grandma Robles gave Kingsleigh a cute onesie with a tu-tu attached.

 The gifts kept piling up.

 Pretty little dress and Winnie-the-Pooh sleepers from the new Grandma J.

 Sarah couldn't make it to the party but she sent some cute clothes and lots of love. 

 A beautiful pink quilted blanket made by great-great Grandma Sweeney.

 How cute is this?  Gotta love the hat!

 Diaper Genie was a hit at the party.  One from Pam and one from great-great Auntie Brenda.

Baby Kingsleigh is due February 24th.  She received so many adorable gifts and clothes from all the wonderful people who came to the baby shower.  She will be so spoiled! :)

Grant's Pioneer Trek

During fall break in October, Grant was able to go on our stake's Pioneer Trek held on the Mogollon Rim.  All of the teenagers that went on the trip were divided up into families.  Each family had their own handcart to pull along the rocky roads.

 Grant is on the left with the checker blue shirt.

 Grant looks cold bundled up in his black sweatshirt and cowboy hat.

 It rained and rained and rained the second day.  Grant is in the green poncho.

 Grant has no idea why he is holding this pose.

 This is a picture of one of the rocky roads all of the kids had to pull their hand cart up.  This looks REALLY tough!

 Grant is at the back of his family's handcart on the left.

 This part of the trail was easier to navigate. 

 When Grant wasn't helping pull the handcart, he spent some quality time with his youth leaders.

 Time to eat!

 It's nice to see Grant helping with the work.

 The first night of the trek it rained.  Here are some cold wet kids warming up by the fire.

 Ready to start the trek.  (I guess this should have put this first.)
