Baby Blessings and Baking Entries

A Proud Papa on his baby's blessing day

And on his own 35th birthday!

The following are pictures taken at the park,

where we ate after church:

Couldn't resist this one of Hunter in his mommy's arms

Above and Below: Two Funny Faces

(jk, Haley!) Dad's beard tickles!

Dallin, Haley, and Hunter = One Jolley Family!

A patient Melinda, putting up with my slow photography

Linda with baby Joshua, her own little squishy!

Lainey chowing down with Dad Danny's assistance

Haley holding her very own baby!

Melinda and Ben, enjoying the meal

Ben with Tristan

Ben's expression: "Did you just get that off my plate?"

Some of Linda's family, there at the park :)

Little Miss Sassafrass again (Hey, she's the only granddaughter around to photograph!)

'Hunting' Sheep?

Baby Joshua in his silky blessing suit, sawing some logs

Blueberry Muffins

Banana-nut Bread

Strawberry-Chocolate Cheesecake

(with an Oreo crust)

Rocky Road Brownies

Triple-Layer German Chocolate Cake

Above are Mark's five creations for the fair, all his own recipes: Strawberry-Chocolate Cheesecake; German Chocolate (extra chocolate) cake; banana-nut bread (he got these really close to the way my mom's banana-nut bread tasted. Yum!); deluxe Rocky Road brownies; and his amazing blueberry muffins. All Super-delish, made with the best ingredients,

Guar-an-teed!

Mark and Seth took them to the fairgrounds early this evening.

Mark says some of the ladies oohed and awed.

Good Luck, Mark!

Little Baby Boy Book, From a Blank One

These pictures aren't very good (the colors are off in some)

and they're not in any order

But I thought you might enjoy seeing what I made for Haley to have fun with

Maybe writing in it

Or putting photos and Baby Hunter ephemera in

I made one that is completely different

for Linda to put Joshua's fun pictures in

Or just to look at

For no particular reason

Just something to have from Grandma :)

Lookee what I got!

Thank you to V and Co for the generous giveaway!
