Blake's blessing & cute cousins

Me and my newest nephew, Blake.

Blake Michael Sharp was blessed on May 13, 2012 — Mother's Day. I was so glad we were able to attend and glad that Derek was there to participate as well.

Karen and Mike hosted a great gathering at their house afterward. Lots of eating and lots of kids running around crazy — loving their time together. It was a great Mother's Day.

 The next day Derek left for home and Lydia and I settled in for a few days at Karen's. It was so fun to hang with my big sis! And although there were some upsets with Lydia and Dylan (what do you expect when you get two 2-year-olds together?) we all had a wonderful time.

Aren't they adorable!?
