Kaitlyn's Blessing

Grandpa Call woke everyone up each morning with delicious bacon, sausage, pancakes/french toast, and fresh fruit. He LOVED serving breakfast to all the little ones, savoring each good morning and kiss. I loved his joy received from such a simple service! Sunday morning was no different! We had a delicious breakfast and rushed to get ready for church. We drove up to Ogden where Melissa and Jonathon live. Kaitlyn wore a cute crocheted bunting and a vintage dress, I am guessing she wore Melissa's blessing dress. Jonathon gave little Kaitlyn a wonderful blessing. After church we gathered the family to mark the occasion with a photo. I wanted to kick Charity for hiding on purpose behind Libby! Charity...you are in big doo-doo. Phillip handed out knuckles whenever possible. Don't you just adore his orange tie? Handsome boy! My belly popped out even more the past week. Sleeping is difficult now that the baby is determined to kick my insides black and blue.

Charity arranged to have a luncheon at their community center. Everyone chipped in for a delicious meal. I made a berry salad to die for. Thanks to Madison for the recipe:

1 large container of vanilla yogurt
1 package of dry instant vanilla pudding

mix together until pudding is moist and not lumpy

add 1 container of whipped cream
3 bags of frozen berries (I added three small bags of raspberries and one medium bag of mixed berries)

Let sit until berries are defrosted in the mixture, serve and marvel!

After lunch the siblings, minus Justin who HAD to nap, sat around and told stories. Honestly, I was in sort of a sleep daze myself but enjoyed the stories and banter in my quiet way. The kids snuggled and watched Tangled again down in the basement. Scott and Spenser told stories about when they were in store robberies. Scary! Little Anson wandered off to do what little 18 mth old boys do: make trouble. He opened a child-proof bottle of children's Tylenol and consumed between 18 and 20 tablets. Scared his poor mother to death. Needless to say little Anson was not so happy afterward. My son can open anything labeled child-proof faster than a speeding bullet as well. Those two little boys are peas in a pod. So cute.
