For Father's Day, I had the kids make a card for Ken; he loved them! I also gave him a gift I had been working on for a long time. I went through all our pictures and put them in order and made a DVD for him. He loved it and it brought tears to his eyes. I was so glad he liked it!
What better way to celebrate Father's Day than going to a baby blessing! Ken's youngest brother Nick blessed his first baby and it was such a wonderful experience. I was so glad Ken was able to stand in the circle with his Dad and brothers and be with them for that wonderful blessing! Afterwards, we had a nice lunch in the park with our family and Leah's family.

We also got to meet up with some more friends from college! When Ken was younger, his family lived in Evanston, WY and they were friends with the Pierce Family. Nick and Leah didn't really know each other very well then, but the families stayed friends and Nick and Leah were set up after he got home from his mission. I got know Leah's sister, Konea, while we were in Laramie, so I thought it was so cool when Nick and Leah got married! It was so great to see Konea and her husband, Lex, and their wonderful little family! 
Taysum wanted to climb a tree and he wanted me to take a picture. 
Aunt Amanda, Uncle Shane and Michael 
We wanted to get a picture of Bailey with Grammy Penny since they had the same colors on, but Bailey doesn't hold still for pictures very well...or at all! :)
As always, Hayden was just wonderful! He's so easy going, even when the rest of us are going crazy!
He really started smiling and laughing this week. Hayden just LOVED the ceiling fans. He would catch even a glimpse of one and he'd break out in a cheek-bustin' grin. It was so cute!
Father's Day nap
When everyone woke up, we got to go visit some more friends. Matt and Kandice Gardner are two just wonderful people! I got to know Kandice really well while we were in Laramie. We were in Centennial Singers together and we did YW Camp together for three or four years! She is someone I really admire and I love keeping up with her on her family's blog. They have lived in Lehi for quite some time, too. When we're in Lehi for a holiday, they are usually gone to their family for the holiday. The other times we're down there, it's just too quick of a trip to try and get together. This time, we made sure we went to see them! It was so wonderful to see everyone in person!! It was great to see them again and see their beautiful home and kids! I am so mad at myself for not getting out the camera, but we were having too nice of a time just chatting!

It was so sweet to hear these 4 little voices singing Ring Around the Rosies
And so ended another fun day with some wrestling on the couch... 
The time went so fast, but we have 3 days left to go!! :)

We had to cut our visit short, because we had a family dinner to get back to. All of Ken's family, but one brother, was able to come. Also, his Aunt Ruth came to visit and her son Rob. It was a really fun time together!
