Archer's blessing

We are so grateful for all of Mark's family who made it out to be here for Archer's blessing. I am so proud of our little boy and Mark spoke such a beautiful blessing. The Bishop's wife was so thoughtful to record it for us using shorthand notes. I really appreciate that gift.

Ray, Russ, Odin, Ron, Mark and Ronan just about to join for the next photo.

We just couldn't quite pull the kids together though, both Odin and Ronan refused to go to their respective classes. I think it might have something to do with the consistently delayed bedtimes since time change. I mean, 10:00, come ON boys, go to sleep already!

And this concludes the pictures we actually have of Archer's blessing day at church. Anybody seen the baby? Where is Archer? Shouldn't we take a big family picture? Didn't happen.

But we got tons of pictures of Flat Stanley.

we have walls and a roof!

Thanks to Everyone who have helped us so far!

Some might debate how much help we got from uncle Matt Hackwell.

Odin, Allyson and Ronan keeping busy

Ron, Russell and Ray Pike and cousin in law Justin too.

Not to forget the little Pike boys,
they did their share too!

On-site entertainment from Ronan

Russ and Ray making us only a little nervous on the saws...

We only heard a "few" complaints from the old men....is it break time yet?

Mark!

Work complete for these weekend warriors!
