With 25 grandchildren, we have many special days. Today, Ken & Loreal's, Kalan, was baptized and confirmed a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints. His father performed the ordinances. He did an excellent job, and I am very proud of him. Of course, we are proud of Kalan for his decision to become a member of the church. He is a really good, young man. At the end of each school year, Kalan's elementary school gives one award for the best all around student, grades, behavior, etc., in each grade. Kalan received the award in Kindergarten, & he surprised us this year & received another award. It is a gold medal with a bear paw print on it, hanging on a ribbon. He, as well as the other 24 grandchildren, is special! After Kalan's baptism was completed, Mike & Heather had the blessing of our "miracle baby, Cohen." Mike blessed him, got a little emotion, but gave Cohen a wonderful blessing. He was so handsome, dressed in his little white outfit. He is such a beautiful baby & smiles all of the time. He likes to watch t.v., lights, people & anything that moves. He has found his little fingers and hands. I marvel when I am holding him and watching him. He is our "Miracle Baby!" The cousins love him & he loves them. Everyone is always wanting to hold him.
Heavenly Father has really blessed our families. Bret & Mica's Alix will be eight in October. Mike & Heather's Brooklyn will be eight in December. I cannot imagine life without our children & grandchildren.
After all of this activity, Lori & Heather had everyone for a nice luncheon at Ken & Lori's new home. Lori's family attended, of course, & Heather's family attended, so we had quite a crowd. JaLynn & family came out for the occasion. Emily & friend drove up from Snow College. Shalayne was the only one missing.
I have some cute pictures of the reunion & the events of today. I need to have Jen or Mica help me add them to my blog! And sometime, I will!!

Yesterday was wonderful. I showed you six weeks ago how to put photos on your blog, so lets see some. Jessely got baptized this year too, 2008 will be a record year. Tonights dinner at the park was very good, I wish Grandma Louis could have been there.
Hey there! Sorry we missed the reunion. Leah was at school and couldn't miss any time. I am just not very out going. Working on it though. We should get together sometime, that would be fun. Gracie is quite the social creature, not at all like her mother. Take care and talk to you soon.
this sounds like a great day.
I am so happy for all of you.
