Ben's Blessing

Yesterday we blessed Ben. It was a busy, but fun weekend. Dad, Mom, and Grandma made the drive from Elko to be a part of the festivities. Choco represented the Lopez side by driving 4.5 hours each way (thanks so much, Choco!). We celebrated by having a carne asada at our house with basically the entire branch and co-workers. It was a full house! Manolo was having a blast with all the kids (he will have a good temperament for Benjamin). Poor cat got his tail pulled many times, but tolerated it just to be in the middle of things. He was pretty tired after as were we. 
Then on Sunday while Jamir was at his meetings, we took a drive to see the area and  later at church gave our baby a blessing. It was a good testimony meeting and a good weekend. Thanks to all that came.

I made a fox cake. I've made better, but it was fun to decorate anyway.

Plaid shirts and eating grapes


On Saturday, showing the area around. 

 The blossoms are coming out everywhere!

Again looking at Dad and not me. Blanket was made by Grandma.
