With Nolan in the back now it's harder to get snacks or whatever back there to him (and he's not the best catch yet haha) so we tried out this ingenious idea from my friend Myranda. Game Changer!
The big party was scheduled for the day after his birthday, but we wanted to do something to celebrate his actual big day. Thai food at Granky's house it is!

Sweet moment between Nolan and Granky
Oh Branson. This kid. He was wrestling with Logan and they fell over, Branson's nose and mouth going straight into Granky's glass coffee table. Luckily I was right there and quickly cupped my hand under his mouth to catch the blood. So much blood. I thought for sure he'd broken his nose or a tooth went through his lip or something. Thank heavens it wasn't though. We got the bleeding to stop and everything seemed to be fine. Poor Nolan freaked out when he saw the blood and was so upset!

Two of my favorite guys. I saw them sitting together chatting and it reminded me of a photo I've seen of them sitting and chatting at my parents wedding reception 37 years ago!
The big friends and family party
Gm and Gp Bailey were so awesome and drove down for the party (and Caden's blessing).
Gm Hunt and Grace Stewart.

Us and Alan's family hung out at my parents house on Saturday and then we had a little family party that night.

Granky sharing some thoughts and his testimony. It was a really special time to be together.
The Mike and Dana Mathews grandkids. Cute bunch!!
Sunday morning we gave Caden a name and a blessing. Justin did a wonderful job and blessed Caden to develop a testimony of the Savior, to understand the gospel and the role of the Savior in his life, to seek a testimony and share it, to be a light to those around him, to have the courage to follow the commandments, to be strong in his convictions, to watch the example of his brothers, to find refuge in the scriptures and seek answers there, and to be grateful for his heritage, especially his great-grandfather for whom he is named.
I'll never forget that after the blessing Granky stood up to bear his testimony. He was in the row in front of me and I loved how he stood up with such strength despite his age. He bore a wonderful testimony and ended it by saying with a smile, "and besides, one of my great-grandsons got my name today! So that's pretty neat." I sure love him.
A common sight in the Hunt family - checking out guns.
