First, my nephew, Corban, made his Confirmation. It is a big deal in the church. The Bishop comes down for the mass. If you thought mass could be confusing with all of the sitting, standing and kneeling, try being a bishop. He has to keep track of all of that as well as know when to take his little pointy hat on and off. It could be very tricky. Luckily, he has an assistant who follows him around to adjust his hat and even his microphone if need arises.
Nobody messed anything up. Everybody received the Holy Spirit and a nice meal afterward.
Corban is getting so big. He is officially a high schooler now. He is taking Summer Bio at the High School. In the picture above we have Corban, Brother-in-law Todd, Sis, and our eldest niece, Emily.
Emily is also growing at an incredible rate. She has had to adjust her bike seat twice in the last two weeks! Even with all those new inches she can still turn all the back flips she wants, on and off a trampoline.
The other big event that brought us home was the birth of our newest niece, Abigail Barbara Elizabeth Espinoza. My older bro Jeremy and his wife Eleasha are very proud parents. Abi was born on May 29th.
As you can see, she is just adorable. She has incredibly long fingers. I know everyone says that about every new born, but it is truer for Abi. At a week old, she is keeping her pretty blue eyes open and starting to hold her head up already.
Almost one-year-old Kloe, who we call the Klo or Klonus, is quite happy to have a younger cousin. She is more adorable by the day. My younger brother, Jesse, has proven to be a great Daddy. There isn't anything he would not do for his little girl. See below how he holds really still so she can have a nap.
After this small rest both Kloe and Daddy were up again for a quick diaper changing contest with Jeremy and Abi. I don't remember who won, but a good time was had by all. This weekend's competitions were really just preliminaries for the big Father's day cook out next week anyway.
