We've had a fun month so far! As you saw in the last post, Jessica just started soccer. Although she's one of the less experienced players on her team, she's having a good time and learning a lot.
Chandler loves the practices too because he gets to run around and play and look super cute. :)
The first weekend in the month we had family come for Benjamin's baby blessing. We were pleasantly surprised by how many people were willing and able to come all the way out for this. My parents as well as Michael's dad came. Saturday morning Michael, Jessica, Chandler, and Papa (Michael's dad) went off to play at the beach. I stayed back with Benjamin to wait for my parents and catch up with them once they arrived.
Jessica was excited to try out her new boogie board.
Chandler gave it a try too...
but decided that eating Skittles from Grandma up on the sand was more his style.
Before long he was back out in the water with Daddy while Jessica took her turn with the treats.
They finished the morning making drip castles and meeting some cool creatures.
Playing at the beach with Papa is always a good time!
The next day was Benjamin's blessing. What a lucky guy to have a Daddy and two Grandpas worthy and able to be a part of such a special thing! I'm still mad at myself for not getting some pictures of just Benjamin, but these group shots are pretty great too.
That night everyone, minus Benjamin and I, took a drive to the temple to wander the grounds. Apparently Papa is an expert creature catcher. He was able to catch several lizards at the temple and then a frog just outside our apartment. Jessica and Chandler thought it was super fun to have a real frog inside, even if it was for just a few minutes.
It was great to have everyone around for some much needed family time!

So many critters to play with at you house. Frogs and lizards too.
So sad I missed all the fun. What a weekend.
