Maya's Blessing

Grandma Susan and Grandpa Tom came down to celebrate Maya's blessing in church today. They came only for five days so we had to make every moment count. As you can see, Maya is doing her part.

A couple of weeks ago, Maya got to know her Grandma and Aunt on the Knudsen side, and this weekend she enjoyed getting to know the Biggs side grandparents.

They brought presents for every day and the kids have enjoyed everyone of them. One of the days' present was a blow-up swimming pool that they actually brought from Aunts Rachel and Mary.

Grandma and Grandpa have been here before, so we didn't do a lot of sight seeing. However, we did go eat at a couple of taco places. But we had to get creative to figure out how to fit four adults, three toddlers, and a baby in a tiny Nissan Versa. (If any of you are law enforcement, we claim refuge in Mexico) The kids enjoyed seeing where we have been as they made faces at the cars behind us.

Here we are eating the best tacos al pastor that we have found. The kids have become pros at eating and enjoying hot Mexican food.

Here is Maya Susanna with 1/2 of her namesake. The other is Anna, Jenn's mother.

Here is a better look at the dress and the blanket, both made by Grandma Susan.

The kids sure are proud of their baby sister Maya. Thomas asks why Maya is so "Beautiful".

And here is the answer:

Just on a funny note. Thomas and Hyrum both like to play on Jenn's iPod, but they don't know the pass code. And every time you enter a wrong number, it locks for longer and longer. Now the iPod is disabled for the next 21+ million minutes (40+ years). I guess this will be a good present for Thomas' 44th birthday.
