Grandkids in UT - Day 1

Nathan and Jennifer had Tyler Nathan WILBUR on September 4th. Diane, Jennifer's mother, went to help when the baby was born. She left on the 23rd. We drove to Utah and were in Logan on the 24th.

One of the problems with taking digital pictures is there are so many cute ones, it's hard to decide which to post. During the time we were there, we took several hundred pictures. These photos are the finalists.

This is a happy grandma holding Katelynn.

On our way to Logan, we had Alyssa and Bella come with us to Logan. Unfortunately, Ben had to work. We were thankful to him for letting them come for the 2 days. Bella is now 7 weeks.

One cute 2 year old!

Another one of grandma holding a baby. She loves kids. This is her holding Tyler. Even though 3 weeks old, he enjoyed her holding him. She could calm him down when upset - usually after Rick was holding him.

Rick must not have been holding Tyler - he's quiet.

Cute pose of Bella sleeping.

The 3 grandkids togther. Tyler was still quite yellow.

Nate and Jen's apartment is across from a zoo and next to 3 parks within walking distance. Kate goes to the park and/or zoo every night. This is Kate getting help from dad on the stairs. Actually, it's more dad making sure she doesn't fall.

This was the first day. More posts of this trip to come.

Jarrod is an Eagle

Jarrod had his Eagle Court of Honor on Saturday, Sep. 20th. It was a combined ceremony with 2 of his good friends.

Sue ordered the cake. She was very happy, not from the cake, but to see her last son as a Eagle Scout.

The happy moms.Many of Jarrod's friends from school attended and supported him.

Warren and Ann. Warren has been very instrumental in helping all three of our sons to be eagle scouts.

Jarrod's Eagle

Jarrod had his Eagle board of review on Sunday. He must wait for approval from national but it's basically a formality. His Court of Honor will be with two others in his troop.
This was the board.

His Varsity advisor.

We look a little tired. The board of reviewed was combined with another young man. We were there for 2 1/2 hours. We are proud of him.

Nathan/Jen's baby BOY

Nathan and Jennifer had their baby yesterday, Sept 4th at 2:51pm MST in Logan, UT. He was 6 pounds and 18.5 inches. Both mom and baby are great. Dad too. There will be more photos to come. Nathan's blog will have more, once things settle down.

Bella visit to Orange

Alyssa, Ben and Bella visited us from Wed to Tues last week. It was great having them in our home. Sue has been able to spend the last 3 weeks with them. Ben's family was able to meet with Bella.



This is Ron (Grandpa Caudill) holding her.

This is Ben's sister, Hanna.

Ron with his fiancee, Patty.

Ben blessed Bella on Sunday. Afterward, we took some family photos. Bella thought she'd be cool and wear some fashionable shades.

The blessing dress was made by Alyssa's Grandma Campbell for Alyssa's blessing.

This is Ben's grandparents first great grandchild.

Us.

Bella posing for the camera.

We have a BBQ with Ben's family. Cammie, Ben's youngest sister, helped.

Rick's brother, Steve, came up from Laguna Niguel with his son and wife to see the baby.

They returned to Utah on Tuesday for Ben to continue at BYU. Sue will be going through mother/grandmother withdrawals for the next several weeks. It's good that we have free long distance service.

Jarrod at Mt. Timp

Jarrod and Rick hiked up to Timpanogas cave on Friday.

These type of stalactites are unique to this cave.

This is Nathan & Katelynn in front of their Logan apartment. We helped move them from their storage in Provo to their apartment on Monday and Tuesday. It was a miracle that we didn't break or damage anything, that we know of. It's a cute apartment near a park and zoo.

Isabella Marie Caudill

Sue & Jarrod left Sunday morning to see Alyssa and the baby. Isabella was born about 1:17pm. They arrived about 10:30pm that night. Uncle Jarrod seems a little unfamiliar with holding babies.

Alyssa looks really good!

This was taken at 10:30am on Monday.

Proud grandma!! Aren't they cute?!

Grandpa got his turn holding her too.

Alyssa had "bird legs". Looks like Bella does too.

Grandma had fun with Katelynn as well.

Is she remembering or just having gas?
