Olivia Noble Owens

By her father, Tyler Mark Owens

By the Authority of the Holy Melchezedek Priesthood, we take this infant in our arms to give a name and blessing.  

The name chosen for her is Olivia Noble Owens.  

Olivia, I bless you with the knowledge that you are a child of God.  

You have been blessed with a righteous mother and your life will be blessed to learn from her. 

I bless you that your body will grow and be healthy.

You are blessed with the talents of nurturing, these talents will bless you as a mother and in your ability to love and care for your family.  

You will be a righteous influence on your family.

You will have an influence on your brothers and because of your example they will learn to love and respect women.

We pronounce these blessings in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.  

Christmas was on a Sunday this year,

I thought it as a perfect day to bless Livi.

Tyler did a great job and I am so blessed to have a worthy husband.

We had lunch after church at my mom's.

The boys were so tired and as soon as we got home they changed into their jammies and wouldn't change back.

I just wish I had taken a picture of Liv and Tyler together.
