Family Pictures 2013

Last week we had family pictures taken while Jordan's family was in town.

It's hard to believe that 35 years ago, it was just us two.

Then we added four awesome children.

And look at us now, 20 in our family!

Krista's family

Josh's family

Jamie's family

and Jordan's little family

Here's our big girls

and our little girls,

and all our grandkids together!

Thanks kids for making the HUGE effort that it took to make this happen!

More pictures from Logan's blessing

Here are some of the pictures Emily and Josh took.  I LOVE this one of our little angel on his blessing day!

This shows his cute blessing outfit.

Logan is the only baby I know that has all 8 of his great grandparents still alive and all 8 at his blessing!  What a lucky tiny boy he is to have so many great grandparents, and what a great looking group!

Both sets of his grandparents were there too!

Here's a four generation picture, with Logan, his dad, his grandpa, and his great grandpa! 

What a great day that was, and we feel so blessed to have so many to share it with us!

Baking with Jeff and Jen

On Monday night, I invited Jeff and Jen over for dinner and for a mini cooking class to show them how to use their new Kitchen Aid mixer.  I had them mix up my bread recipe and from that we made rolls,

and cinnamon rolls,  (Jen rolled them out perfectly!) and a mini loaf of bread, French bread, and breadsticks.

then a little dental floss to cut them.

They also made breadsticks, everything turned out amazing!

They did French bread and regular bread, all from the same basic bread recipe.  I just had them do a few of each, so they could see how to make the different breads.  They hadn't made cookies before, so they tried out my favorite Blossom Swifts peanut blossoms, but put chocolate chips in instead of the kiss on top.  Great job you two!!!  Can't wait to hear about your first cooking experience at home!!!

Logan Michael Cline is blessed!

Today was Logan's blessing day!

Jordan gave this adorable baby a beautiful blessing.  He was great through the entire day!  

After sacrament meeting, everyone came over to our house for a little brunch.  We had all kinds of yummy mini muffins, cinnamon rolls, bagels, fruit and juice.

Jamie's family came from California

and her aunt and cousins came from Idaho.

All of Logan's 8 great grandparents were there.  Jamie's grandparents from California and from Orem were there and my parents and Mike's parents came too.  Pretty cool to have 8 great grandparents still alive and present at his blessing.  Emily took some great pictures I will add when we get them from her.

Of course all our granddaughters were there.

 Even Chip and Elycia and their 3 kids made it.  Pretty impressive to have baby twins and a two year old out the door by 8:10 in the morning!

There were 56 people who joined us for the blessing and most of them were able to come over after.  What a cute little family with so many people who love them!  Thanks Jordan and Jamie for letting us share this special day with you!!!!

Jump around Utah

On Friday, Krista and Jamie's family met us at Jump around Utah, a fun place with all kinds of bounce houses and blow up slides.  (Josh and Merijane were packing up their stuff in preparation for moving the next day.

They had things to climb on,

things to slide down,

 amd things to jump on.

Mike tended the babies so the rest of us could have fun.

Sophie slept the whole time.

Kelsi on a little slide.

Molly, Hailey and Abbie

It was lots of fun for the whole family!

That evening we all met at Murray Park for pictures.  I can't wait to get them back.  Here's one Josh took while the photographer was taking them.  I LOVE all these kids so much!!!!

Logan's baby shower

On Thursday night, we gave Jamie and Logan a baby shower. 

 (Krista came early and decorated with the fun things Lani had)

Everything looked soooooo great!

Lani  and mom made the cutest taffy kabobs for favors.

Yummy cookies with blue frosting!

Delicious BBQ chicken salad

Lots of family came to help celebrate.

Grandma Cline, Jenny and Paula

Jamie's mom Marcie, her sister Michelle, and her aunt Kerrie 

Elycia and her twins, and Emily (Merijane was a little late, so I missed getting her picture)

Aunt Jerry was even in town from Denver visiting mom, and was able to come! 

She loved getting to meet the new babies.

It's crazy how close to the same size Logan is to the twins, even though he is 2 1/2 months younger!

Logan got SO MANY fun presents!  He is a very lucky little guy!

Thanks everyone for being SO GENEROUS!

 Thanks Lani for having it at your house, what a fun night!!!!

Thanks Logan, for sleeping all night, he woke up at 5:20 this morning!
