Double Blessing Weekend




















Thought we'd post some of our photos from the weekend of blessings--both Jack and Hailey got blessed by their dads Sunday 1 May at Katie and Shea's ward, then Katie hosted a wild party to break the fast and celebrate. Wish you all could have been there.




Here is the survivors shot just before Gamma and Gampa had to hustle off to the airpor to get back to work. It was well worth the trip as this was a most wonderful weekend with family. Note Jack's silk tux (care of Jada, of course) and Hailey's gown handmade by Linda (of course).




Natalie rolled out of bed at one point

so had a Wolverine bandaid placed to heal the headache. Appears to have done the trick--or maybe it was the curlers were on too tight.












She looked awesome (like a pwincess) in her neat-as-heck new dress with the flowers on it and her fancy curly hairs. Momma Katie does such a great job.












Jack was pretty psyched for his big blessing day, but was having a trying hair day.













Hailey looked awesome in her hot blessing gown--sort covered some of those chin rolls.









Joe looked great, and if you can't tell, Bethany was glad to see him, as well as Lucy. Hailey was pretty worn out from all that behaving at the head of the congregation.









Bethany's family was out in force for the occasion--took this group shot just before the California contingent had to load up and head south. Bethany's cousin had a very nice luncheon for everyone on Saturday, complete with Gramma Abeyta running an amazing Easter Egg event with prizes.







Several other familials made it to the event as well--it was great seeing everyone. And we're looking forward to seeing as many as can make it to the 12 Aug 11 marriage for James and Jin.


Keeeeeeeeeep strokin'!!


Love, Nancy and Pat

PJ and family, as well as Vod and Nick, also attended, along with Shea's sister and family and Shea's Mom and Dad and their crews. It was a great time and we wish you'd all been able to be there.

Continue being excellent to each other. Looking forward to visiting Ben, Marinda, Emily and Caroline in a couple weeks.
Love, Dad
