Photo Shoot

-
In honor of Jacob's blessing day (this coming Sunday) I took advantage of a quiet morning and did a photo shoot with my little guy in his blessing outfit. He was relatively cooperative with only a few minor challenges; he liked to hold on to his shirt, he kept trying to sit up but he can't so he would topple over, and I realized that all my smile inducers were at school.  I was worried that I might have to try again another day.  After I uploaded the pictures I was pleasantly surprised at the results . . .
 
 Here area few of my favorites . . .
 


All my other kiddos have their blessing pictures with a special blanket for the background, Grandpa Strong made this afghan. Unfortunately it was too small and slippery for my wiggly baby so I has to get another.

I love this serious look complete with a furrowed brow.

I can't help but smile and laugh a little when I see this face.
 
And my very favorite . . . 
 
We are looking forward to a very special blessing day, this Sunday, April 28th in Springville,Utah where Jacob will share center stage with his cousin Taylor. (Paul's brother Richard & wife Mallori are blessing their little girl the same day, she was born one week after Jacob).

The Milestones That Bring Us Together

  Grateful for milestones that bring family together...Last Saturday my brothers and I gathered to celebrate our Dad's 80th birthday!!! After 80 years on earth my Dad's body continues to be strong (mostly) while his memory continues to fade. For a man who is a planner and organizer he struggles to live in the moment and be content...I guess when you don't have current memories to reflect on, you dream and imagine your future. Inspite of his current reality we enjoyed a few hours celebrating together, laughing, sharing and watching him relive his glory days with near clarity. Watching him watch himself play football and talk and share about the players and the plays brought out part of my Dad that has been hidden for years!

  There are moments in life when you realize just how blessed you are... celebrating my mom's 80th birthday recently was one of those moments!! Over the years we have moved away from one another, haven't always stayed in close contact with everyone but being together I felt the love that comes from being family! To my mom family is everything and it is her love for us individually that radiates and unites those around her! My mom is a little energizer bunny sharing, serving, living, loving, experiencing, adventureing and enjoying every moment of every day! She definitely is not 80 years old but 80 years loved!!! And on her way to many more!! From three awesome Andruski kids... ...to this beautiful bunch... ... combined 17 years ago with the Browns makes for a wonderful group of great people to love one special lady! A highlight of celebrating my mom was to spend time in the temple with her and many of her posterity...it was a very special family sealing session (three actual...
