Ninja Night

Here are just a few photos from the fun weekend we had to celebrate Estelle's baby blessing. Jonah's parents Ricky and Linda, his brother Eli and his Grandma Ruth Eyre drove down from Northern Utah on Thursday night and stayed here with us. We also had the usual celebrants, the Looslis (Jonah's sister from next door and her family) plus my mom and her husband and stepson Blake). On Friday, Jonah and his dad and brother rented Harley Davidsons and rode through Zion National Park. The women and children spent the weekend at some sand dunes and showing Grandma Great around St. George. Friday evening, the men came back and showed off their cycling prowess in Snow Canyon State Park (right by our house, so don't worry aout Linda's bike helmet). Great stuff.
Saturday included some double ennis for the men and some sand dunes for the women and children. That night, Jonah cooked 22 hamburgers that were heavenly. WOW! All 19 of us in our house was a little packed for dinner, but we had a great time, even though Elsie slept through the whole thing.
Sunday morning's church meeting was great, with Jonah giving Estelle Ginger Eyre a truly inspired blessing (to be included when I get the transcription done) and Elsie slept through it like a champ. She wore a darling little blessing outfit from Bali that Jonah's parents picked up from there the day before Elsie was born! We love Bali and hope that Elsie somehow gets at least a portion of the spirituality that those great Balians have. Also in Sacrament meeting were the Cobines and Mark Pollard and his fiancee.
The Looslis spoke in sacrament meeting, Ricky and Linda taught the marriage and family relations class, and Jonah taught Elder's Quorem! The Eyres took over the Ward! Saren fed us an amazing lunch and then everybody was off. I took a nap.
