Owen's Blessing Day

Last Sunday, we had the wonderful opportunity to bless our son, Owen. I was so amazed and grateful for so many friends and family that came together to support us, and who love Owen so much! He is one spoiled little guy! He, of course, is just our everything and makes every day so much brighter. I cannot believe how fast he is growing and how much he is learning everyday! It's surely a big adventure being a mother to this little guy! We love him so much.

As you see in the previous post, Shad's two sisters came to play with us the previous week before the blessing. Then on the weekend of EVERYONE came to celebrate and come together. It was so fun to host everyone here, and a little crazy. My parents drove over from Auburn, as well as Shad's oldest sister and her family who live there. Then Shad's mom, two youngest sisters, sister-in-law with her two boys all drove in from utah; Shad's aunt from Idaho, and another aunt from Montana also came for the big event!! So... lots of family from the McOmber side! On Saturday Shad and I rented out the clubhouse here at our apartment complex, because trying to fit everyone in our apartment, was certainly NOT an option! We had a great BBQ, played some pool, watched some movies, and played some games all day together on Saturday. It was a fun day to just be together as a family. Sunday was the big day, where not only did we have lots of family joins us, but a few friends from Shad's school came as well to join in the blessing.

Overall, it was a success and a fun way to showcase our handsome boy. It was the first time Shad's family had seen Owen, so we certainly had fun showing him off. :) As always, it went by too fast... hopefully we can squeeze in a summer road trip to Utah this year! Here are some pictures from the day, you know me... always going picture crazy! But with a son as cute as mine, can you blame me!?!? :)
