Owen tried baby cereal, Oatmeal, for the first time. 

He didn’t like it.. um.. AT ALL! 

Little did we know, this was the start of an extremely difficult eater. Since then he only likes milk, cereal, and chicken nuggets. Oh son, what am I going to do with you?!?

 Guess its time to buy boy bibs. We only have girls colors I guess.

And Eject...!

Lets start with Owen's Blessing:

We had to do Owen’s blessing on Oct. 10^th at our home and I will explain why. My grandparents were leaving for Hawaii on the 17^th, Garron had to work and his schedule was so crazy that he flew in that Sunday morning and had to leave the next day and wouldn’t be back till the next Sunday evening and then my grandparents left the next day. So we originally were going to have it at the church building but for some reason Michael and Amy booked flights for Saturday night and had to drive back Sunday night to get to work on Monday. They booked them before we knew we could change the date. Something happened with Garrons schedule where we were going to do it the next week but by that time Michael and Amy had already bought flights.

Confused yet??? Me too!!!

                We had a ton of people come to support us and for that I am truly grateful. Those that had to drive back to Vegas didn’t stay long after the actual blessing and food but I am glad they were able to make it.

Owen looked so handsome and Garron did a wonderful job blessing him. We had a baked potato bar with all the toppings. Plus my mom made her amazing chili and also had cornbread for those that didn’t want a potato. I made Texas Sheet Cake for dessert and I think it is safe to say that we were all very full.

It was a wonderful day and I am grateful for my husband and that he holds the priesthood to be able to bless our children and bless our home like I grew up thinking my hubby would. I love you Garron!

               I love that I have those pics but the grass was wet and we ended up having everyone dry off their shoes with a towel before coming back in.

 

              

Family Pictures 10.21.09

Recently we had Olivea’s first photo shoot. We once again recruited our good family friend Ann Beal to help take the photos. Ann took our Engagement Photos, took pictures at our wedding (in addition to our photographer), Maternity Pictures, Olivea’s Newborn pictures and now our Family Pictures. She is not trained but has an amazing talent and her son Chase also helps. We decided to jump in on the action during Olivea’s pictures and get some family pictures taken… I don’t think she minds. They turned out better than I imagined and I am so happy with the results. Thank you so much Ann!!!

Olivea's Blessing 11.15.0

Olivea's Blessing day was wonderful. We had friends and family over before church for lunch and it was great to see everyone. Garron did a beautiful job with the Blessing and the circle was huge. I kept thinking that we would only have a few people there but I was wrong. Those in the circle were:

Garron
Bryan
Craig
Brett
Bryce (held the mic)
Grandpa Combs
Gordon
Jim
Jared
Josh Harker
The entire Bishopric
Justin Pitcher

We are so greatful for great family and wonderful friends. Thank you to all who came to support us. We love you all.

Temple Open House

Garron and I were able to go to the Oquirrah Mountain Temple Open House earlier this summer. We brought Trissa (Garron’s little sister staying with us for the summer) with us as well. She had gone a few weeks earlier with some of the youth of her ward when they came up from Vegas for a Temple trip, but she said she still enjoyed it.

I love when I drive into Salt Lake and I can see all the Temples in the Valley. The Church just recently announced another new Temple site in Utah, Brigham City, which would make a total of 14 temples in Utah.

We had a wonderful time visiting the temple and to see all of the hard work that went into the building of the Temple. Soon, I hope to go again with Garron to do a session.
