Mommy and Grant

I love this photo of Grant and Dannielle. She is such a beautiful woman and a teriffic mother to those precious grandbabies. We adore her!

Grandma's Boy

Isn't this a handsome little man? Grant is a snuggly baby and will let his indulgent Grandma squeeze him for a few minutes at least! This is a real treat, since we hadn't seen him since he was 6 weeks old. Here he is 6 months! He looks a lot like his Daddy did at about the same age.

Got Priesthood?

Sweet blessings today. Tyson was ordained an Elder! Giant step for him! Proud parents of this young man!

Grandma Beth with her Greats

Great Grandma Beth enjoyed the visit to Jordan and Dannielle's home in September. That was the day we welcomed Grant Jordan and he was named and given a blessing in Fast and Testimony meeting there in Peoria. Natalie is a big sister!
