Today we attended Lola's baby blessing in Darrel and Trina's ward in Gilbert.  They belong to the Emerald Bay ward.  Darrel gave a very sweet blessing and mentioned the gift of discernment as a way of determining right from wrong.  
Darrel &Trina's family
All of our children and their spouses were there except for Tricia who is visiting her brother in California.  All of our grandchildren were present except for Jared Ammon.  We were so glad that Jared and his kids came from El Paso.  Aaron Lambson and his family were also there as were Trina's parents and her brother Bryce and his family.
James, Jared, Trina and Suzy all bore their testimonies.  Dale Johnson, a former seventy, was our gospel doctrine teacher.  Adam stayed for the entire block with James and I.  I enjoyed sitting by Trina and holding Lola during Relief Society.  The teacher gave a lesson entitled: "Know, Do, Be."  It was very good.  It's the first time I've been in Relief Society for quite awhile.  

Back at home we broke our fast and James fixed lunch.
Thanks to Fry's, James makes a mean lunch.
That's our favorite treat, cranberry celebration
in the plastic container. 
This evening we had a FHE at Darrel & Trina's.  It almost seemed like old times.  I gave a lesson on strong families and fortifying our families against Satan like Moroni did in Alma 48:7-10 against the Lamanites. Our strong walls were scriptures, prayer, FHE, faith, repentance, forgiveness, and kindness.  
 We also watched a video about a litttle girl named Hannah and her brother Hyrum who has autism.  I love church videos!  Stacy and Paul were a little late because they said it was raining so hard they had to pull over on the side of the road for a few minutes.  This time everyone was here except Tricia, Jared Ammon and Dallin.  Lola was definitely the center of attention with the girls.


  It was so noisy I don't know how she could sleep.
Molly and Ruby were best friends!
Love this picture of Darrel & Trina
We are still as loud as ever.
Molly loves to have her picture taken.

Anna spent about 3 hours holding Lola
last night and then here she is again today.
Bonding time for Brian with Lola and Anna.
Joe and Michael entertained us.
They are so good together, Joseph
on the guitar and Michael singing.
Joe is using James Hayden's guitar.
Emmy and Addy were good friends except
when it came to Lola.  Addy wants to hold her
but Emmy had to have her turn first because
she says Addy gets to hold her all the time.
Addy waiting her turn.  It looks like
Emmy may be getting tired.
Such a cute picture.
Finally it's Addy's turn!
Rowan loves his Harry Potter wand.
Expectro-petronus!
