Ben's Baby Blessing

We had a great time playing in St. George for a few hours before heading to Vegas.

The week before Thanksgiving we decided to drive down to Las Vegas for Ben's Blessing day. It was kind of exciting because everyone in the family was there. We drove down to St. George on Saturday where we met the Ferlans and Brittany for dinner at Roy's Pizza. We also spent some time hiking around Pioneer Park, which included a trip to the Crack. Unfortunately, Dad couldn't make it through.  We had fun climbing, hiking, and taking pictures with the cousins, though.

Dax and Seth were super excited to check out the crack after Mark told them about it!

Mom squeezed part way through. She decided she had done it once and didn't need to go again!

I love this picture of Randy taking pictures of us!

The boys went all the way up and back down again! 

Pioneer Park has lots of fun places to climb and play. 

Our boys love climbing! 

All the cousins climbed up to be with Mark!

It was fun to spend time with my two littlest sisters.

Randy really wanted a specific picture, and I could not seem to get it right. Hence the shiny crotch picture here! Ha ha!

But I finally caught the vision.  

There are beautiful views of St. George from Pioneer Park.

Cousin time is the best time!

Seth loves jumping pictures right now.

Dax climbs into every hole.

Mark wasn't feeling well, but the rest of us were pumped for pizza!!

We didn't get to Las Vegas until after 8 o'clock. The cousins all stayed up until 10:30 playing and strewing toys everywhere. All of Mom's sisters and Grandma and Grandpa were there. We even had all the husbands.

We stayed at the Poole's house and woke up in plenty of time for Church. The kids had fun playing, and the blessing was really nice. Mark was a little surprised to be asked to help pass the Sacrament in their tiny Ward, but he happily accepted.

We had so much fun holding sweet little Benjamin.

Mark was especially good about taking care of his youngest cousin.

Seth loves babies and always asks Mom to have another one because he hates being the youngest. 

Audrey loved hanging out with Uncle Randy this time around.

Mom loves snuggling the little babies.

Ben smiled at Mark all the time!

After Church we had lunch and then said goodbye to the Pooles. Then we raced the Ferlans and Webbs up the freeway because everyone was staying out our house Sunday night. It was really crowded, but we all just fit. Mom even let the boys stay home from school to play with all those cousins. It was a really fun weekend!

The Daniels Family! We haven't been all together for a long time.  

Mom loves taking family photos!

We played a family baseball game with the Webbs and the Ferlans. It was so much fun!
