Havens Baby Blessing!

We had Havens Baby Blessing on March 20th and it was a very busy, but fun weekend. We were able to have Jasons dad and stepmom in town for the weekend. The kids were excited to spend time with them and to see all their cousins. One night we had Jasons parents, my parents, and two of my sisters families spend the night, so there were 21 people in 5 bedrooms. So I really do know what a FULL house is. The kids ABSOLUTELY loved every moment of it! We went to Kangaroo Zoo, out to dinner without kids(except babies), and a little shopping. It was great to have lots of family come on the day of the blessing as well.

For some reason I always seem to get really emotional whenever any of my kids are being blessed. I have so many emotions and thoughts running through my head, and I guess its because I'm SO very greatful to be able to have the chance to be a mom to such wonderful gifts from our Heavenly Father, and to have babies that are blessed with great health and strength. We have all had struggles in our lives and sicknesses and lost loved ones. One in particular that came to mind that day was when Jason said Havens middle name 'Jean' which is after my Grandma Folsom who passed away 1 1/2 years ago. I think that she had the chance to meet my little Haven before she came to earth, and it makes me so happy to know that she'll get to see her again someday! I love being a mom and spending so much time with my kids, although some days I may not enjoy as much, it is still very rewarding when they wrap their little arms around me and say 'I Love You,' or when they just want you to kiss their little owies better. It's GREAT to by a Mom!
