Well first off we had a very eventful week before Memorial weekend. I had gone in almost 2 weeks before and found out that I had a kidney stone, but I guess since I wasn't in pain I wasn't high priority because the doctors took forever to get back to me. About 1 1/2 weeks after the initial visit I was in horrible pain, they finally sent me to a Urologist. He said that I had 7 stones 3 were big the rest were small, so we scheduled me for Surgery to have them blasted. So my Mom came and stayed with us for a few days to help us with the baby and then we brought her home with us for Memorial. Thanks to her for being there when I really needed her and even though she doesn't think she did much she was tons of help.
So we went home for Memorial Weekend and we also blessed Emerson that weekend in Caliente. We were so excited to have the opportunity to give him a blessing from his Heavenly Father. We also had lots of fun for the 5 days that we were there. Here are some pics to share with you all.

| While my Mom was here it was her Birthday so we took her out to lunch and Emerson wore his Nuts about Grandma shirt for the special occasion. Below: She got a chance to give him a bath. |
 |
| My parents have this great inflatable waterslide that we set up on holidays, and John's sister and her kids came to join us for the fun. |

 |
| I finally got a picture of Emerson with John's oldest brother and his wife, but I still haven't got one with him and their son, that will come soon. |
 |
| We went on a walk this something all the grandkids on John's side love to do at Grandma's. Below: We stopped to see the ducks on our walk. |

 |
| Finally got a good picture of Emerson with my Brother's Wife, her kids were in all the other pics so I made sure to snap one of the just the two of them. |
 |
| So we got some pictures of Emerson in his blessing outfit. This the same outfit that John was blessed in his Mom made it, she also crocheted the blessing blanket, and the blue one on the bottom was a quilt that John's Great Grandma made and his Mom only used on Sundays. So we only use it on Sundays too. |
 |
| Some of our Greatest friends blessed their little girl on the same Sunday so we had to get a picture of the two little ones. She is such a cutie! |
 |
| Emerson finally got to meet his Great Grandparents. This is a picture of all the Great Grandkids from John's family. |
 |
| We got a great surprise after Church on sunday my Aunt Vicki showed up to meet her Great Nephews. We had other family that came and visited too. Below: My cousin had a baby about 6 weeks after Emerson and she came to visit her Grandma who is my Aunt Melba, this a picture of the two new beautiful boys. |

| The night before we left we had a barbeque at my Parents house, afterwards they fired up the fire pit to roast marshmallows. |

| A new favorite at our house roasted Twinkies!!! |
