Taylor's blessing and Visit from the parents

This is Taylor after his blessing in his outfit. All the boys have worn this suit with different ties. Als the kids have used this blanket.
Here are all the kids before we left for the blessing. The boys have matching ties! We had lots of visitors for the blessing. Marks family-his grandparents, aunt and uncle, mike and jerrica, his parents and jon and joe. My family-my parents, laree, betsy and tanner, nikki and chris and jax, mykenzie, and jayden (and payton in spirit, he's still in the hospital). Most of them stayed at our house. We enjoyed having all of them here. It was a really nice day. Sorry I didn't get pics of all the visitors.

my parents stayed a couple of days. They made the rounds to see all the new babies. Monday morning my parents spent doing science experiments with the kids. This one was funny to watch. Their looking at how things looked bent in water.
Then we went and visited some sites, where we had a picnic. Here's Laree.
Here's looking out.
Then we visited one of the schools in the area for Laree. Here's Betsy. There is a pic of her with the kids and she looks like a star with her kids trying to evade the paparazzi.
This is a pic of my dad with Taylor. I have a picture of him sleeping while holding everyone of my kids when they were a baby, just like this.

Well the next day the kids all were sick so we just sat around talking until my parents and Betsy and Laree left for their next stop. It was really fun. My sister took lots of pics and gave them to me but they are not accessible at this moment. We had a lot of fun having them here. The kids loved it.
