A Picture Says a Thousand Words . . .

Thursday, April 2, 2009



The above picture just proves that you can put a child in a beautiful dress and lead her to a picture-taking session, but you can't make her smile (or for that matter, stop screaming). This picture was taken at Tate's baby blessing celebration dinner last Sunday (Wouldn't it be charming to get a picture of the grandparents and the four cousins?)and as you can tell, it was past nap time for the Bethie Boo. Out of the blue, she went hysterical on us ("MOMMY HOLDY!!!!!) so the pictures were a bust, but funny, too.

Below are the ones where Mommy was "holdy" and those were better . . .



And here's one of the handsome little man of the hour himself, Tate Benjamin:



And with his proud parents:



And of the whole "fam damily":



We had a wonderful weekend for Tate's blessing, other than lots of snow. The snow actually reminded all of us of Ben's blessing day during the big storm of '83, when no one could come because they couldn't dig out. Luckily, it wasn't that bad for Tate and we all just had to drive a little slowly to Newton! It was so fun to be with family for this special occasion!

So, funny story. My family says fam damly too. But, I guess when I was about 3 we were at some ward function and I said to a room full of people the whole dam family came. Every one laughed and my mom wanted to crawl into a hole...
We had that same picture experience when Bry was almost 2. Grandma took all the cousins to Target for easter pics and Bry screamed the whole time. Needless to say, Grandma got some great ones with all the OTHER cousins. I was humiliated!
