Blessing Day & Fathers’ Day

Last Sunday, Nate was able to bless Ryan in our Sacrament Meeting. It was a great blessing and we were grateful to have both of our parents, Nate’s grandparents, and several siblings and in-laws there for the blessing. Ryan was perfectly quiet during the blessing, and fortunately kept his loud screams for  later. After the meeting, we had salty & sweet crepes at our house with our families, and they were delicious! (I can say that because I didn’t put them together – just decided what toppings to have available for people to choose from). We of course took a few pictures – I was hoping we could take them outside but the rain nixed that idea. I should have had Nate hold Ryan up in the family one so we could actually see him :) Ryan had a major blowout before I could get any individual pictures of him in his blessing outfit, so I had to do some a few days later.

Ryan with both sets of grandparents – apparently it was red tie day :)

Some of the Packer grandkids almost having a melt-down, and Ryan with his great-grandparents.

We were glad we got to spend some time on Father’s day with both of our dads – they are both so supportive and such great examples, and are wonderful grandpas. And of course, Bennett and Ryan are pretty lucky to have a great dad too!

We went on a walk that night once the rain finally stopped, and the snails were out – we saw a little one at one point, then saw this bigger one right before we got home.

My parents were able to stay with us for a couple days after, and we didn’t do anything too exciting but it was fun to spend time with them. Here are a couple pictures from my sister’s bridal shower.
