Officially Named

Well, as many of you know, Koen was blessed this last Sunday. Thank you to everybody who was able to take time out of their schedules to be here for our little man. We really enjoyed spending time with our family.

Jon's family flew into town last week. This was the first time most of his family was meeting Koen and I believe Koen definitely enjoyed their love and attention. He gave them many good smiles throughout their stay.
While they were here, Jon and his dad spent a morning snowshoeing together. I know that Jon would have preferred their adventures to have snow falling on them the entire time, but I believe they went at the perfect time because there were bright blue skies with the sun shining over them. I just LOVE the look of the snow covered mountains with blue skies. It's so beautiful to me. Even though it didn't snow though, I know Jon and his dad really had a great time. They were excited to tell us that they even caught a "mountain lion" while on their adventures! I'm sure Koen will enjoy playing with him too.




The lion was found while they were snowshoeing in the mountains. Therefore, "they caught a mountain lion."



My sisters were all so sweet to throw Koen and I a wonderful baby shower while they were here too. They all did a GREAT job and I truly did enjoy it. All of the details were so fun and creative, and I enjoyed the games and activities they planned out too. Thank you to everybody who helped and came. I wouldn't have had it any other way!







Then of course, Sunday came and that was the day that brought everyone together. Koen was so handsome and behaved great. Jon was nervous about his first baby blessing, but he did a wonderful job! Koen didn't make a peep during the blessing either. We were very grateful for that. After church, many of us joined for dinner at our place and we really had a good time visiting with one another and talking about childhood memories. It was a lot of fun. Unfortunately, we also had to say goodbye to several people that night, but we really enjoyed having them all here. Thank you again, to everyone who came! We missed all of you who weren't able to join us.




And here are just a few other fun times:

I took a family photo for the Williams' and as you can see, the boys like to be a little silly.


Kaylee had some crazy hair.


The Williams' girls seemed to really enjoy making a sock bouquet.



Jon and I toured the "This is the Place" Heritage Park with his parents.


I just like to throw in pictures of Koen.


Koen and Grandma Williams enjoyed a nice nap together.


Grandpa Williams and Koen had a good time playing together.


Jon's dad taught us a new game called, Kismet. The two of them loved trying to make new records. They're actually playing Yahtzee in this picture, but Kismet and Yahtzee are VERY MUCH alike.


Koen is a family celebrity.


Grandma B. is telling a story.
