Issac's Blessing and a Family Reunion

Over Labor day weekend we had lots of family and fun. John's dad and two of his brothers came for the BYU game, the Thompson family reunion, and Isaac's baby blessing. It was really nice to see everyone and thanks to the reunion we had tons of family there for Isaac's blessing. When we lived out of state we never had that many! The family reunion was really fun too. The girls LOVED playing with their cousins--we're really glad they all made the long drive.


This is John's dad meeting Isaac for the first time. Too bad Isaac's pants are falling off... I need to chat with him about lowriding.

Here's my family, except for Jake because we either forgot to tell him or he forgot, but it was nice to have them there. My sweet Grandpa Hess came too but he was waiting in the car.

Here's the star of the show Isaac! Thanks to my neighbor for lending me the cute outfit--I couldn't find anything I liked at the stores. I actually thought the outfit would be too big because when I tried it on him a week ago it was drowning him--he must have grown two inches this week because it fit him much better on Sunday.

Here's all the Thompson family that came to the reunion--I think we took up 1/3 the chapel. It was really nice of them to all come. We loved it!

Here's a shot of the sisters-in-law. They were so helpful and they even left me meals in my freezer! Too bad this picture is not so great for the babies...

I wish I had more pictures from the reunion and the BYU game. Wow, we had a lot of people in our house for the game but I think John and his brothers provided most of the noise. There was lots of shouting, cheering, hugging, and maybe even a few tears... John is still talking about it. On Monday we went up to City Creek canyon for a barbeque/picnic in the mountains for the last event of the reunion. It was beautiful up there and the girls had a good time getting dirty and playing with the other kids. Whew, it was a busy but great weekend.
