a weekend with grandma and grandpa g and ryan's blessing

Wes' parents came on Saturday afternoon to meet their newest grandson, Ryan. It was great to have them here! We always enjoy their visits.





We stayed close to home most of the time. On Saturday Wes' cousin Dave and his cute family came down from St. George to visit. The boys had fun playing together and then we all ventured to Cafe Rio for dinner and a little Nielsen's for dessert. The rest of the weekend was spent playing games, at the park or hanging out at our house.

Robert is always ready and willing to help us with house projects when he's here. Wes really enjoys working along side his dad. Robert is a general contractor so he can do pretty much anything! This trip involved a new door, a few new toilets & new weather stripping. Oh, and a little yardwork getting ready for new grass.

While Wes' parents were here, we blessed Ryan. We had some friends and family over to my parent's house after the blessing for brunch. The kids ate and then ran around outside and played. They all seemed to have a good time! The weather was quite nice.





Wes gave Ryan a great blessing. Ryan slept through the entire thing and was a good baby all day.



Grandma & Grandpa G were so helpful while they were here. I'm pretty sure there isn't anyone on this planet who loves babies more than Grandma G! I fed Ryan and Grandma G took care of him the rest of the time. She somehow got him to smile ALOT for her! Both boys were spoiled with constant attention & love their grandparents. Grandma & Grandpa G definitely got to see all sides of Nate - excited, happy, grumpy, mean, tired, etc.



One night we were putting Nate to bed & we put an awake Ryan in the middle of his room while we read him books & before we knew it he was out cold.




Thanks Robert & Doreen for coming. It was great having you here. Come again soon!
