A Fun Family Weekend

This last weekend was so much fun! And now we are all tired and cranky, because we haven't had much sleep.

On Friday, we all went over to Mike and Amy's for dinner, because Jeff, Lori and the kids flew in from Denver for all the festivities. The kids ran around and had fun and the adults all visited and sort of watched the opening ceremonies on TV. We stayed really late and of course, couldn't sleep in the next day.

Saturday, we celebrated Granpa Vern's 100th birthday. His daughter, Carolyn planned a really nice party and lots of people came.

Grandpa is actually starting to show his age. I know, he's 100, Nikki! But the man has been so strong for so long, that I was really kind of sad. When I first sat down with him, he didn't know who I was. Course, that could have been my hair. He hasn't seen me since I've gone so dark. But then I heard that he didn't recognize David (his grandson), either. But again, the man is 100.

Here is our family with grandpa. I know we all match. That's because there was a professional photographer there and we took advantage of it for some family pictures. We'll get those in the next couple of weeks and let you all see them.

Sunday, we went to Dave and Natalie's, for the blessing of Spencer. It's so nice to snuggle and cuddle him and then give him back. There was no baby hunger at all! So nice. It was also great to see other aunts, uncles, and cousins on Scott's side that we just haven't seen in a while. Oh, and Nat, I did get Spencer a present and forgot to bring it! Maybe we'll swing by tonight! We watched the Olympics and I have to say Amy sure makes it exciting to watch, even when she wakes up sleeping babies! HeHe!

Of course, it wouldn't be a Jackson weekend without Porter making some kind of spectacle of himself. Apparently, during the blessing (which was not at church, but in Dave and Nat's home) Porter, who was in the backyard, needed to go to the bathroom. So he came to the back door and knocked on it to be let in. Lori was right there and motioned for him to wait until the blessing was over. Porter, being the boy I know, decided that he couldn't wait and peed off the back deck, making designs and aiming through the railings. Scott, this is all on your shoulders. I certainly didn't teach him to pee outside!
