What a day

So this post is overdue, but to much is happening to fast for me to keep up how I would like. 

June 22 was a very busy, but very exciting day.  It started out by us heading to the Church Administration Building with Jamon’s parents, all his brothers and their spouses, his grandparents, and an Aunt.  We were there to meet with Elder Christofferson, one of the 12 Apostles, who would set Jamon’s parents apart as Mission Presidents in the Columbia, Bogata North Mission. 

It was quite the experience.  Elder Christofferson came and shook everyone’s hands.  The spirit was strong there as we listened to the blessing and counsel from him.  Jamon’s parents will be missed, but we look forward to what the next three years will bring.

Liam and Asher with President and Sister Andelin…Grandpa and Grandma.  This is the before picture.  When they get home we will take another one.  What they will come home too… Liam won’t be scared of Grandpa and will be 5 years old. Asher will be 3 years old and we will most likely have a 1 year old.  Stay tuned…

After the setting apart we walked around temple square for a little bit, then we all met at Café Rio for lunch.  After, all the siblings went to a splash pad to play for a niece, who was celebrating her 8th birthday, and Jamon and I went home.  Liam had spent the week with my parent’s and was now home waiting for us.  We were super excited to see him.  I was especially excited, because I was given the green light to pick up Liam, when I thought I wouldn’t be able to for 6 weeks.

His homecoming was awesome.  He came out the door to meet us and had the biggest smile on his face and his voice was a couple octave's higher with excitement.  I then picked him up and gave him a huge hug.  It was AWESOME!  I sure love that kid.

Later that day, still June 22, all of Jamon’s family (every last niece and nephew included), along with my parents, my brother’s Jason and Adam with their families and our Bishop met at our house where we blessed Asher.  It was an interesting expeirence to have him blessed at home.  We started out with a song and a prayer. 

Proud Dad, looking very HOT in his new suit, and crying Asher.  He looks like he’s been tortured.

Jamon gave Asher an amazing blessing.  I am so glad he has the priesthood and is able to give our family the blessing they need. I sure do love him. 

We then closed with a prayer and began to eat.  Thanks to my Awesome Mom for basically making everything for this meal.  I don’t know what I would’ve done without her.

Here are a few pictures of Asher in his blessing outfit…That my mom made in less than a week.  She’s amazing.
