Yesterday we had a very fun Father's Day. Ben had no church meetings (woohoo!!) so that right there was very exciting. We did presents in the morning and then after church we headed down to Ben's parents' house for a family BBQ.
The dads in the family: Ben, his brother Stan, his dad, his brother James
Two reasons to celebrate Ben today:
Ben and the boys that made him a daddy:
James, Shelley and their kids:
So I can't believe I haven't blogged about this very exciting event in my life... Ben's brother James and his wife Shelley and their 4 kids moved here a couple of months ago. Yay!!! And not only do they live in the same town, they actually live in the same neighborhood. It has been so much fun to have them here.
Me and Shelley:
Shelley and I are having so much fun together. I consider her a very good friend so I was beside myself when they decided to move here.
One more thing about yesterday. Perhaps ya'll can chime in on a debate we have going on in our house. Ben thinks it's hilarious to pick Sam up like this:
Sam finds it very funny as well. I, the nervous-nelly mother, am very concerned that this is not good for my baby's neck. What do you think? Am I over-reacting or is my husband going to cause brain damage to my child?
I will leave you with a funny conversation exchange (courtesy of Noah, of course). After church all the kids like to go visit our bishop's office because he will give them candy if they can tell him the name of a prophet.
Bishop: Hi Noah! Can you tell me the name of a prophet?
Noah: Prophet.
Me: No, honey, you need to say the name of a prophet.
Noah: Prophet.
Me: No, honey, who is a prophet?
Noah: Happy Father's Day!
Me: Okay, you know what? You have the name of a prophet. What is your name?
Noah: Brothers and sisters?
Me: (in my head... what the crap??) Okay, sweetie, say Noah.
Noah: Noah
Bishop: Here you go! (gives him some undeserved candy)
