James' Sunday Best

James recently got a new church outfit from his Grandma Gibbons, and he wore it for the first time on Sunday. He looks like such a big boy in his collared shirt, brown pants and sweater vest. What a handsome guy!

We were celebrating Uncle Josh's 16th birthday on Sunday! (Happy Birthday Josh!) James loves his Grandpa, and he also loves watching the balloons!

James' Blessing

We had such a great weekend with the Boster family. They came in town for James' blessing, and it was the first time that most of them had met James! We are so grateful that we were able to spend some time with them, and that they made it safely in the snowy weather!

We took a lot of pictures over the weekend, and forgive me if I post too many, but I just thought that since these are the first pictures of James with his Boster family, I should just put a whole bunch up!

James finally met his Grandma and Grandpa Boster, and boy did he love them! I first handed him to Grandpa, and James just smiled so big! We can't wait to take James to the farm in a couple of months to spend some more time with them! We had a great time visiting, eating food, playing games and just being together. It was fun to have a whole house full of Bosters! (Have I mentioned that I have the best in-laws in the world?)

Benjamin and Joshua.

We played a game of mafia and used these "unnecessarily large playing cards" (as my friend Rachel calls them). Andrew and Sierra found them perfect for hiding behind!

James loved his Aunts Sierra and Emma Jeane!

The Boster Family

James slept through the entire meeting, including the entire blessing! He was totally out. You know he is really asleep when his hands are down at his sides like this - he was just so relaxed!

Here is most of the family who was at the blessing - what a good-looking group!

My sister-in-law and sister - Emma Jeane and Abby. Aren't they the cutest ever?

(I must thank Benjamin for some of these pictures - I must admit that it is great to have an aspiring photographer in the family! Hope you don't mind I used some of your pictures here!)

Joshua and Bethany

Daniel and Joseph with the little boys.

Still sleeping!

James was quite the center of attention!

Thanks to Benjamin for these great close-ups of our little boy!

Here we are, relaxing at home after all the family left. What a great weekend we had! James loved the big party we had just for him!

Me and my baby :)

Our Little Singer

The other night I was doing the dishes, while Jonathan was playing with James on our bed and singing to him. He was singing "I Am a Child of God," and as I was listening from upstairs I could hear James' little voice cooing right along with his Daddy. It was the cutest thing ever, he did it for quite awhile. The next day he "sang" right along with me too. It looks he may have gotten a few of those musical genes . . .

Singing with Daddy

Our happy, happy boy!

This kid is a little ham for the camera - he sees the flash and just starts smiling!
