Blessing day

Addison Zinette and Marcus Allixander were blessed on Sunday along with their cousin Cooper. We decided to do the blessing at my family's home ward; Katie was blessed there as well when she was a baby. We got up early Sunday morning and drove the 2 1/2 hours to Marion, Va (we couldn't go the night before because we had to watch the Cougars kick butt)

After church our family headed to a park to have lunch, everyone was in town except for Tripp and family, and Jenn and family and of course Sorella Bethany Dalia--we had the missionaries from Marion come eat with us to replace her.

The five grandkids under one, there are still two more on the way to replace Marcus and Addy when they turn one next week.

Instead of sucking a pacifier, Marcus pulls his shirt up to his nose and sucks when he is tired

We spent Sunday and Monday nights on the mountain at my parents house. Of course we didn't take any pictures of that. Mark and I hiked with the twins and rode the gaiter and 4-wheelers. We didn't really see Katie the whole time; she was to busy playing, looking at the animals and picking strawberries.
