Pioneer Day

 - by Brittany

So last Friday we took a trip up to Tahoe and hung out for the day. Jameson slept for almost an hour on the sand. Not too bad. He was nothing like another little boy, though, who slept for the entire afternoon IN the sand. It was so funny. He had crawled under an umbrella and crashed. The poor kid had sand all over his face. Pretty funny, though.

Then Saturday we went to our tri-stake Pioneer Day celebration. We set out a blanket and listened to the musical numbers. (He had some pretty dang cute shoes on too!)

This kid is crazy. I got a snow cone and he wanted some. I tried to give him some on a spoon, but that was not what he wanted. Jmo wanted the whole thing.

While we were watching the presentation, I looked over and Uncle Claire was kneeling right by us. Cousin Ryan was standing by him so we turned and said Hello. They joined us on our blanket for a time. Jameson wasted no time in playing with his Great-Great Uncle Claire’s hat.  (Notice those two sharp bottom teeth!)

On a side note I have a funny story… Our Uncle Claire and President Earl are indeed the same person. When Jameson was blessed, we asked him to participate in the circle. So he came and sat on the stand as usual. The counselor that was conducting that day went through announcements then turned a little confused and said, “And we have some stake business.” Well Uncle Claire shook his head no, so then the counselor turned back really confused and said nevermind. I was asked later who all participated in the circle. (We had a big circle, I think 9 people.) I started naming names and when I said Uncle Claire, this person stopped me. Said wait… Uncle? So I explained that he is my Grandma’s younger brother. She replied…”Oh, I though he was just being nice and stood in your circle. I was wondering why the Stake President would stand in a baby blessing.” I was laughing… I thought it was really funny.

Anyways, back to the pioneer day…

We waited while friends went on the log ride… Jameson was not tall enough to go but he has the funniest look. (And yes, I cut my hair, and it’s now just above my shoulders.)
