Ammon: 3 months and baby blessing

Ammon turned 3 months last week! A few days before he hit 3 months, we had his baby blessing in Corpus Christi. His daddy gave him a beautiful blessing that Sunday morning. I was so proud of my two handsome dudes up there:) I took a few pics of Ammon in his blessing outfit that day. . .here is our cute little man.

After his blessing, we took a few family pics. Its the Mormon tradition to take pics in the foyer:)

Me and my 5 favorite people. I'm proud of this family of mine.

The men who stood in the blessing circle. . .L to R: family friend, Alex Shum, my brother Mark, my Dad, Joey's dad, Joey, my cousin Bryan, and my brother Austin.

My fam. Notice how I'm the shortest out of me and my sibs. Sad. I'm the oldest!!

Ammon and his Great-Grandma Adams. She is such a special lady! My Aunt Cindy was also there, but left before pics. Thanks for coming Cindy!

Joey's sister and her family and Joey's parents. We had lots of family there-it was wonderful! Thanks everyone for coming!

Joey's aunt and cousin Brandon were also able to attend-yea!!!

Ammon and his Daddy. It looks like the little cutie was tuckered out and ready for bed. And Ammon too:)

And I can't finish this post without posting a picture of the cookie cake my sister decorated. SO CUTE! After the blessing we had a lunch at my parents house: chicken salad sandwiches(one of my favorites! Thanks Mom!) and other yummy stuff with our combined families. It was a really nice afternoon. Thanks Mom for putting it together and hosting it and thanks Joe & Cyndi for helping as well!

It was a beautiful day celebrating the birth of our sweet boy. He is such a blessing to our family. I'm so grateful he was able to be blessed by his Daddy and so grateful for a wonderful worthy priesthood-holding husband. We love you Ammon!

I wish that I had been a member of the church when my children were babies so that they could have been blessed. What a BIG beautiful family you have! You are such a lucky woman, even if you are short! haha. Love you! xxoo; 12/6/10, 1:05 AM

Tara D. said...: I miss you guys! I'm really sad I won't get to see you for Christmas. That also means I have to pay for shipping. LOL I'm so glad we were all able to attend little Ammon's blessing. He behaved so well, so proud of the cute little guy. :); 12/7/10, 9:48 AM

She also has quite the sense of humor and makes us laugh at the funny things she says every day. She loves to be outdoors, read books, and make cards and pictures for her family and friends. She is very giving and loving. She is also cuddly and asks for "snuggle time" daily:) She started tennis this past Spring and is loving it! I think we have finally found this girls "thing." Shes got one mean backhand! :) Her favorite thing in the world, however, is CANDY, oh, and ponies and fish.

Ammon

Ammon is our handsome smart sweet 6 year old little boy that we can't imagine life without. He is so very loved by us all. Now that he is five, he is really starting to show us just how darn smart he is. He is learning how to read at an incredible pace. He can count to 9000 already(he tells us this, but we make him stop at 100:)! He started preschool this year and just LOVES going! He wishes everyday was preschool. He has a heart of gold and is so loving. He is a Mama's boy that I can always count on to give me hugs when I need it most. His favorite thing to do is draw/write, read, play with action figures(star wars and avengers being his favorites), do puzzles, and play the wii/tablet when we let him:) He loves Skylanders!

Wesley

Wesley is our adorable energetic four year old son. He has the cutest dimple on his right cheek and the biggest smile. He is a ray of sunshine and makes us laugh at all of his funny antics. He is quite busy these days getting into everything he shouldn't be..sharpies included. Sometimes I'm just not sure I can keep up with him! He loves to climb on everything. And fall off of everything;) He is often seen with a bruise on his head! His favorite thing right now is cars. You can find him most days pushing a truck or car around the house as fast as his little legs will take him. He also adores being outside. We love this little guy so much!

Luke

Luke is our precious two year old little one who has blessed our lives immensely. He is always there to give a hug and a wet kiss. He is super cuddly. If you are sad, he will put his little arm around you and give you a sweet pat. He is silly and always makes us smile. He is learning little words like "mo" for more or "nana" for nightnight. He can say ball and uh-oh. Its so cute to hear him learn to talk! He has been an easy little guy too..never been a carseat hater and always takes good naps. And luckily is now sleeping through the night! We love our Lukey!
