Avery and Douglas, Jr. - Two cute cousins!

Douglas and Ashley and Douglas, Jr. -'DC' - came to visit us for a week and it was so wonderful seeing them! This was my very first visit with this grandson! Dad went back for his blessing when he was born. It was early December and cold and not conducive for Kirsten to travel so we stayed home.


Grandpa and DC 'hanging out' while his mom and dad were at a Mariner's game. Ashley says that Doug can hardly wait until DC is old enough to play baseball!

I drove Douglas and Ashley and DC down to Oregon to visit DC's great grandma Valdine. This was on the way back and Kirsten and DC were sleeping.

DC playing with the toys. His mom would sit on the ball and softly bounce him to sleep at night.


We went to David and Angela's on June 12th to bless Avery. This sweet dress was made by my friend Jan Taylor.


Angela and I dressed Avery to get ready for her blessing. Avery was hungry and was letting her mommy know it! She did get fed before her blessing. Her grandpa Neil gave her a beautiful blessing. Douglas and David's bishop, Bishop Kimball, were in the circle.
Avery was blessed at home.

I took this picture of DC the first Sunday Douglas and Ashley were here. He reminds me a lot of Bob and Julie's little boy Braxton.


DC loves getting up close to Kirsten.


Kirsten was toying with DC and hanging onto her slinky. She played with it for 5 minutes and then gave it to DC.


DC really enjoyed playing with Kirsten and her toys. Kirsten enjoyed having DC with us! We really enjoyed their visit and now they have left and in a few hours will be back in Georgia! We sure will miss them!

Awww, so cute to see DC laying on Kirsten! What a nice idea to gently bounce DC to sleep on the ball...maybe I should get one of those! The last time I saw Doug and David was about 18 years ago...now look at them, handsome, grown-up men and proud Daddy's!!!
