trouble with photobucket

I was trying to figure out how to post from photobucket to speed up the posting process. It isn't working well, sorry that the pictures in the last post are messed up. I am too tired to mess with it anymore tonight.

And finally, we caught a smile on camera. It isn't his BIG smile, but it is a smile!

Grandma visits part2 and FHE

Hanging out at the house



We went to see the raptor show and the "big bugs" at the bot gardens

Ella took pictures of us to pass the time before the show.

Birds!






Bugs!





Last Monday we decided to go to the local mini-golf place for FHE. Ella had never been before and she had a blast.

Ella at bridgestreet

I am not done sorting through all the pictures from Grandma's visit, but I wanted to post some pictures I took of Ella over at bridgestreet yesterday. She was a great little model, and we had lots of fun taking pictures at the fountain. I bribed her with pennies to throw in if she posed for me!

Baby blessing and Grandma visits part 1

This past week Jon's Mom flew in from Utah for Wesley's baby blessing and a weeks visit. I haven't got through the pictures from the second half of our week, but here are some from the beginning. We did a photo shoot while she was here:




Laura (Jon's mom) has a picture display of all of her Grandchildren. The pictures are all taken at about this age, in a similar pose, with the child naked and holding up their head to show their chest. It took us a LONG time but we finally got Wesley to cooperate. Here is the final picture.

And some pictures in the fabulous blessing outfit that my mom made for Wes. It is the cutest little tux!



Some cute, but not quite right tries at the "chest picture" for Grandma.


Ella telling the paparazzi "No more pictures!"

After the blessing. Ella was not interested in taking a picture.

Wesley and Grandpa who he gets his middle name from.

More pictures to come later!
