Baby Sam’s Blessing, a BBQ, and some Bacci Ball

Baby Sam was blessed just last week. Eric did a beautiful job, of course. Sam didn’t cry at all during the blessing, but I did hear through the grapevine that he may have passed a little gas, which caused a few, quiet chuckles among the priesthood circle.

After the meeting we had a good-times gathering at the Eric and Emily residence which included a fantastic BBQ, some photo taking, Zinger consumption (both raspberry coconut and yellow), a jump roping extravaganza brought to us courtesy of Jenny, and a rousing game of Bacci Ball. (The Bacci Ball players soon discovered that they were in sore need of a broken antenna/measuring stick like yours Dad. You should paten those somehow)

I’m not sure why Jeffrey is the designated pilot of this air craft? Fear for your life passengers!

Jenny’s got some fancy tricks up her sleeve.

I love the tongue sticking out in the second picture, almost like he’s knowingly being cheeky.

That is one cutie pie baby. Also, that airplane contraption is the sweetest thing I've ever seen. My boys would flip out if they ever beheld such a thing.
