Riverton Parade




















Went to the annual Riverton Parade. It was much more crowded and lots of pushy kids this year. We had to keep telling kids to not stand right in front of our kids (even though we were the front row). The kids had a great time seeing the floats and getting the candy that they throw. And as always, a great group of people to hang out with!!!

Braxton's Blessing




















Braxton's blessing was a special day. Lots of family and friends came (unfortunately Braxton was asleep most of the day and I didn't get my camera out until the very end). 
Jarel gave a wonderful blessing. In the blessing Braxton some of the words spoken "pray that you will know the gospel and learn the gospel" "be able to grow healthy and strong" "we're grateful to have you in our family and grateful for the love you've brought into our house" "that you will have a willingness to learn the gospel" "you will grow and love your brother and sisters and be an example to them" "pray when the time is right to go on a mission and serve the Lord"
Those that stood in the circle: Dad, Grandpa Boyack, Grandpa Hathaway, Uncle Chad, Uncle Brent, Great Great Uncle Bill and Bishop Williams.
Braxton let out a little cry when they first started. Jarel said it was when they laid him down to give him the blessing. But Braxton stopped and the blessing went on. Braxton slept most of the dinner afterwards, but woke up at the very end to get some pictures with those that were still here. 
It was a great day!
