Celebrating 51 Weeks!

My sweet daughter, son in law, and grandbabies came to Phoenix for Thanksgiving. And, since they are SOOOOOOOOOOOOO popular...the most sought after guests at any gathering (plus, Mike's family is almost all living here as well) we have to "share custody". Rice Family got Wednesday, Wilkins' get Wednesday night, Thanksgiving, Rices get Friday. There were too many things going on to have a big birthday celebration for Joshy with ALL the family here, and we couldn't go to Vegas ON his birthday, and Great Granny and Nano were here...so, we celebrated Joshua's 51 week birthday.

We played at the park...

 Papa and Grace and Adam fished....

Uncles fished...

 Doran DID fish...after he slid, or tried to slide in! The sides were muddy and wet, and he had flip flops on. Mud and flip flops...not a good mix!

Ethan WAS here...with Tracker...I guess he just evaded my lens! He had a nice set up for Cameo. She fished as well, but, we ALL know how Nate gets if she dares to catch a fish...he can't be lived wtih!

We ate...

We sang "happy birthday"...

 

We swang...

We had a blast!!!

It was such a miracle...for ALMOST ALL of us could be there! (We missed you, Morgan...guess Seattle is a bit of a commute!) Ethan and Cam, Doran and Danyel, Kayty, Nathan, Great Granny, Nano, Papa, Grammy...It was awesome!

Happy Birthday, oops...51 weeks, Joshua. We love you so much and are so very thankful Heavenly Father sent YOU to be a part of our family!
