Cute as can be!

Once again I find myself feeling like I need to apologize for posting nothing but pictures of Owen, but I can't resist posting these pictures of him in this cute little outfit. Isn't he cute as can be? Thanks Valerie, for letting us borrow these cute little clothes. Owen is growing and getting so big. He now weights close to 10 pounds. I guess that shouldn't be very surprising since pretty much all he does is eat! Hopefully, he can wear a few of his cute outfits before he gets too big. He is getting a little better with sleeping, but still thinks he needs to stay awake pretty much the whole day. The other night he slept for 3.5 hours straight, which may not seem like a lot to those of you who have perfect babies, but that is good for Owen. The best part of that 3.5 hours was that I actually was sleeping as well. Now that is something to cheer about!

True Blue Through and Through

I have always loved the story of Joseph F. Smith who at the young age of 19 was asked by a drunk, armed mob if he was a mormon. Joseph responded, "'Yes, siree; dyed in the wool; true blue, through and through.'" I love this story partly, because for a number of years I thought this saying was about BYU sports, particularly BYU football. Funny, huh? It wasn't until I was much older that I realized that this was not the case. However, I really think this is what Brent hopes and dreams that Owen feels one day about BYU sports. He hopes that Owen in a few years will be able to answer not only the question, "Are you a Mormon?" But also, "Are you a BYU fan?" With these fine words, "'Yes, siree; dyed in the wool; true blue, through and through.'"(I must say that Brent has never said this in so many words, and will probably get mad at me for posting this...but just know I tell the truth.)

So, this past weekend BYU played Utah and I thought it was an appropriate time to bust out the BYU shirt. Never mind that the size is for a 6 month old and that he has no idea or care about what he is wearing. Still, he was pretty cute. Brent made him do the fight song and do a little cheer before the game. Just the beginning, I am sure of many fight songs to be sung in the future. Good thing we won. Heaven forbid his first game wearing a cougar shirt be a loss. Go Cougars!
