One of the Greater Evan Moments

I just wanted to share a funny thing that happened a few weeks ago during Sacrament meeting. Little things like this happen all the time, but I am terrible at writing them down. This one was unforgettable, though.
As is quite often the case, I was playing a little game with Evan during church to help him keep quiet. The dot game was our game of choice on this particular Sunday. It was his turn so he had taken the paper and had it for a little while. Pretty soon he hands the paper to me and as he is trying to get past me to the aisle, he says, "Mom, I need to go to the bathroom, so I put the game on pause." I looked down at the paper and tried to keep from cracking up as I see that he has carefully drawn the "pause" (ll) symbol next to our game. Amazing how these young brains work!!

Here is a photo of Evan on a recent Sunday. He is standing in front of our tomato plants and is wearing a missionary tag that he got in Primary.

It's GREAT to be GRANDPARENTS

Alan Robert Robertson was born to Janelle and Scott Robertson on June 20th, 2009. He weighed in at 8 lbs. 1 oz. and was 20 inches long. He, of course, is absolutely beautiful and is such a good baby. He was a little jaundiced for 3-4 days and had to sleep in a little "Billi-bed" that keeps constant light on him. He slept really well in the little bed and between that and mommy's milk...he whipped that silly billirubin thing.


Jill was able to go out and spend about 10 days with Janelle, Scott, and Alan.



Grandpa Steve came for four days in the middle of Grandma Jill's time there.


Great Grandma and Grandpa Tucker even got to come down from Idaho to see their new (and first) great grandbaby.


We got to do all the fun things like hold him and change him and even go on some walks with him. It was hard to leave that sweet little boy and come home, but it is good to know that we are heading out to Utah again at the end of August. Can't wait!

On the day that Alan was born, Steve, Jill, Megan, and Nathan were able to go to the Manhattan Temple to do baptisms for the dead. It was Nathan's first time going to the temple and was an especially nice place to be as we waited for word about the new baby.
