OWEN'S bABY sHOWER

My mom and Carla hosted a baby shower for Owen and I on the 31st, the day before the blessing. I was so suprised and delighted to see alot of Kent's family come. Kent's parents, sister, and grandparents left Washington at four in the morning. Kent's other grandma and aunts came from Burley.

And of couse some of the aunts, cousins, and sisters of the Barnes clan were there. We played a couple of fun games and had festive fall treats!

Since we had most of the clothes and necessities for Owen, we initiated a crib fund for him instead. I am so happy that everyone would help us get this really nice crib, mattress, and bedding. I found it on craigslist earlier on and it converts into a toddler bed, so we will get alot of use out of it. Then we got a mattress and cute motor bedding from the store.

I also got a few fun gifts of clothing and accessories from family. It was super fun and everyone loved getting a chance to hold Owen.

The Cousins Meet!

Oh! I was so glad that Lance, Kelsey, and Jaeger traveled over to see all of us on Saturday. It was very fun to talk and spend time together oohh-ing over the babies. Jaeger is precious and has great features and is skinny and calm! I was glad that Lance could be apart of the blessing circle for Owen and I am glad that I could see how Kelsey takes care of Jaeger so well and learn from her. It was great! Like Lance said, these two will be hanging out together alot someday!

Sometimes he's an angel

But because of this . . .


We can only determine none of this . . .

and none of this . . .
or this . . .

or this.

Or else we will forever look at each other and be scared of our baby and can only smile when he is like this.
