Owen's Blessing

We had such a wonderful Sunday! The sun was shinning and our little man Owen was blessed in our church. We had our friends and family come and share in our happiness. He is growing SO FAST and is such a smiley little guy. He looked especially handsome in his little blessing outfit.

We love our friends and family so much and we are so grateful we were able to share Owen's special day with them all. It was quiet the turn out and we are so glad that everyone was able to fit in our church for the blessing. Our ward has grown so much and is about to split for the third time in the last three years. It's crazy where we live. So many new homes going in every where. Not to mention we have at least two babies born a week in our ward so Owen also shared his special day with two beautiful baby girls.

In the last 4 months there has been at least 12 baby girls born in the ward and one little boy, our Owen. He is going to have his pick of the litter when he gets a wee bit older, he-he!

It was an amazing day and his dad did a wonderful job giving Owen his special blessing from his Heavenly Father. The weather was beautiful and we were able to open the doors and let everyone sit out in the yard at our home after for a nice lunch.

Thank you to all those who helped make Sunday so wonderful and for coming to see our little man. We are so blessed, I can't say it enough!

Darling pictures of the little guy!! Lindsay gave such an amazing blessing and I really enjoyed both of your sweet testimonies! I'm glad it was such good weather for you, that really helps with crowd control!! We missed you at the park today, sorry it was such short notice, next time! Have a great week.

Mandi - This was a great day, and Lindsay's blessing was so touching. I love that close up of Owie with his hands folded. I need that one framed! What a cutie he is!
