Rewind--Gavin's Blessing Weekend

Sorry for the constant rewinding, but I have to catch up on events for my posterity :) Gavin's blessing weekend (in April) was a whirlwind of activities. They are as follows:

My parents and sister and brother-in-law came in for the weekend. We went to a session at the Mesa Temple.

Steve and I posed for the paparazzi--we can rarely escape them.
Paige had a volleyball game--she got it over the net and returned a serve! YAY!
Steve subbed as coach for this game.

Our resident "yell-leaders" for the Wildcats.

A very fun ride home jamming to Gwen Stefani's "Sweet Escape". Our Stake production of "Joseph and the Amazing...." (More pics are in an earlier post somewhere)
Many delicious items were prepared for the after-blessing gathering---this was not one of them. And, despite her presence in the photo, I must clear my dear sister of any participation in this horiffic creation. (I will give special recognition to anyone who can guess what this was intended to be.)Now, this is how you make a dessert!

And now for the star of the show--Gavin Benjamin!

So, far, Steve is the only "ham" as far as the male gender goes in our family. The other XY's are not as enthusiastic about pictures.

Lisa, the picture in the Joseph production cracks me up, and brings back memories of you in it the first time around!
