Welcome CHARLIE!!!!!!!

At the beginning of June my baby had a baby❤️ Ben and Bethany were so happy to welcome their first baby boy— Charles (Charlie) Benjamin.  A moment to acknowledge the shirt Ben is wearing (a Christmas gift from Bethany:)

Everything went beautifully and he arrived safe and sound.  I was so happy to be invited to be there for the blessed event.  But you know how a mom doesn't like to see her child be sad or in pain or really uncomfortable? She actually feels the feelings along with them.  

And even though the mom knows it's an important part of life and the child will learn and grow and progress, it is still hard to watch.

Well, that's how I feel watching my daughters be pregnant and labor and give birth and exhaust themselves taking care of their little one.  

Ben's face in this picture melts my heart

Parenting is most definitely a job best suited to a mom and dad working together.  I'm so glad they have each other.

He weighed in at a whopping 9lbs 12 oz!  Bethany was a ROCK STAR!!

The grandpas.  

The grandmas.  Such a happy day for us all.

Great Grandma and Grandpa Cannon

Going home

Gathering at Bethany's place for a Foxy Ladies Meeting to watch the Miss Utah Competition.  Don't judge.  It's tradition.  It's also a tradition to be harsh judges.

Blessed
