4th of July and a Baby Blessing

We went up to Utah for the 4th of July this year. It was great being able to spend the weekend with Eric's family. We left Vegas on Friday morning and got into Eagle Mountain, Utah later that day. We stopped in Cedar City and ate lunch at Wingers. We got to see Tim and Mary's new place there. And it was great just to be able to see the new little baby James. He is such a baby doll.

On the 4th the family came to our hotel and we went swimming and then we went to the Mall for lunch. The grandkids got to ride the Merry go round that was at the mall and the kids had alot of fun. We then went to Thanksgiving Point in Lehi to have a family picnic and watch the fireworks. Everyone was there but Apryl and Matt.

Our family pic on the 4th. I finally was able to get one of us all in our flag shirts. This was the first year that we did this.

Here is the pic of Chris and Gina's family. They are expecting #3. Hopefully we will be able to find out what they are having soon. They are due in January.

Here is the updated pic of Tim and Mary's family. James was born at the end of April and this was his first 4th of July.

All of the grandkids looking up in the sky. I love this picture they are actually waiting for a train ride in cow cars. They loved it and had a great time with each other.

Then on Sunday we all got together for the baby blessing of James. It was a great blessing and it was great to have everyone together for such a special event.

Even Mary's grandpa and his girlfriend where there from England. This was actaully the first baby blessing that all the brothers were in the circle together. It was great to be able to get them all together for it.

This is the men that were in the circle. Tim's two brothers and his dad and then Mary's three brother's, brother-in-law, and a great uncle.

I love this pic all the kids lined up on the bike rack and they let us take pics. In the picture are: Jake, Trent, Joshua, Layton, Lizzie, Samual, and Allen. It is a great pic of Tim and Mary's nephews and daughter.

Here are the boys after the blessing waiting to go back to Tim and Mary's for lunch.

We went to the park later and got pictures of all the Bronley grandkids together.

After Lizzie ran out of the picture we got one of all the Bronley boy grandkids. Poor Lizzie is the only girl.

We were able to get a 3 generation picture of the boys. It was a great visit and I wish it didn't have to come to an end. Eric left Monday morning for a training trip in Dallas so it was just me and Bruce to drive home. The boys actually did great on the long drive.
