Easter Bouquet April 24, 2011

For Easter, Jen brought me this lovely bouquet...Love trying to take pictures of beautiful things and to try to get the best shot and do the flowers justice.  Here are my attempts...

Thanks, Jen for your thoughtfulness :)

Mike's sealing to parents 4-23-11

This was one of those special events that you wonder is it ever going to happen.  And it did happen when Mike decided that he wanted to be sealed in the temple to his mom and dad and, therefore, sealing the entire family together.  All six of the brothers have now been sealed to Mom and Dad Fink...It was truly a very special day...

Something must have been said that was pretty funny as everyone here is having a good laugh.  Those pictured, Mike, Ryan and Kate and Bryan and Denisa...

Gary and Kelly, Gabe and Emily and Steve and Summer...

Grandma and Shell...Grandpa Fink was nowhere to be found and unfortunately we had to race back to get the food going for the dinner and were unable to get a picture of him...

Another shot this time with Rob and I, too.

Grace Ellie Fink's Blessing Day 4-10-11

As you can tell, I am trying to catch up on all my pictures.  These are a few of the pictures that turned out for Grace's blessing day.  Grace was so sweet and the blessing turned out very nicely.  Here I am the proud grandma as I hold this special bundle in my arms....beautiful Grace...and her middle name is soooooooooo special to me as well as it is my mother's name.  I am so happy to have my mother's name live on with little Grace...

 A very proud grandpa... 

Summer had a friend make this beautiful cake for little Grace...

Toes (back to October 2010)

I had invited all my girls to go and get their toes manicured and then when I found out Shell had brought her camera, Kate, our in-house photographer, took this cool shot of our feet --

Sorry to Jen, Kate and Shell for taking so long to post this fun shot!

New Arrival - Grace Ellie Fink 2/20/2011

Our little granddaughter, Grace Ellie Fink, arrived on the scene on February 20, 2011.  She weighed in at 8 pounds 10 ounces and was 20.5 inches long ...Here is a picture of the happy, tired threesome

 A precious bundle of joy!

 A happy grandma....a hungry Grace...

 A happy grandpa, a sleeping Grace...

 Sleeping some more...

 Little feet...

 Bundled up and happy our little Grace -- welcome to our world little one!

We love you soooooooo much!

The blanket I knit for Grace....

 This was a fun pattern and one that I really like, it feels so soft and I love the combination of the two yarns that give it the two-toned look.

Summer & Steve's Sealing

January 22, 2011 was a very special day for the Fink Family.  Steve and Summer where sealed for time and all eternity at the Sacramento Temple.  Rob took this beautiful shot of the temple.

 The beautiful Angel Moroni...

 Steve and Summer coming out of the temple after the sealing...very happy faces!

 Loved this pic even though it was a little out of focus of Bella holding onto Steve's tie...

 Bella looking up....

 The happy family - together forever...

 Wish I could take credit for this picture, but Ethan took it!  Great job, Ethan!
