A Little Bit About Owen

I thought I should take the time to post a few things about Owen since he just turned three...I can't believe he is becoming such a big boy and I know in a few short months he's going to seem even bigger when his little brother gets here!
His favorite foods and snacks are marshmallows, chips (orange ones espescially), carrots, grapes, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, grilled cheese sandwiches with jelly on top, crackers and fruit snacks.
His favorite shows are the Backyardigans, Tom and Jerry, Wow Wow Wubzy, Max and Ruby, and Ni Hao Kai Lan.
He LOVES playing pirates and is quick to correct anyone if they say Arrr without wearing a proper pirate hat. He also likes to play cowboys but again, I or anyone else must be wearing a cowboy hat before playing with him. :)
He often attaches himself to a particular stuffed animal and always puts a Y at the end of it to give it the proper name, examples: Pandy, Penguiny, Froggy.
He makes Nathan and I laugh everyday, whether it be because of a silly song he makes up or from a mad face he's giving us...I can't imagine what our life would be like without him in it and I look forward to doing it all again soon!

Happy 3rd Birthday Owen!


Owen and Allie loving on each other, so sweet!


"Baby Jack" is becoming a big boy, and still so adorable!


Eli, Easton, Haden, Owen, Kamryn, Andrew, Adrian, Jack, Clayton, Kyndell (Allie was not interested in standing with everyone unless her mommy did too)


Grammy, Owen and Namma


When I showed him his cake, he took a big breath in and said "I like it!"


He got really excited when he saw all his intruments, and when we walked out of the party his Uncle Bill asked him if he is going to be a musician when he grows up and he said "No, I'm going to be a one man band" :)




Jack had a good time playing with Amber's camera.




He had the cheesiest smile on his face the entire time we were singing to him, he was loving all the attention!




This was his intial expression at Captain Hook (who happened to make an appearance at the party)...


And this was his expression at him when he realized he was wearing his eye patch!


Captain Hook (aka Uncle Bill)


Owen and Aunt Jill, she pushed him around the gym on that scooter forever!


All of my grandparents that I'm soooo blessed to have!


My mom told the boys to show her how old they are and Easton proudly held up four fingers, Jill quickly corrected him! :)

Date Night

Last Saturday Nathan went hunting so I told Owen instead of Mommy and Daddy going on a date, him and I were going to go on a date. He excitedly said "We are??" We met Amber and Allie for pizza and then went to see Toy Story. The kids squealed with excitement the entire way across the parking lot into the theater.
On our way to Springfield

Sooo excited after the movie

Going on dates is hard work!

More Jamaica

Since I've been getting grief about only posting five pictures of Jamaica, here's a few more...with a few more to come.




Fell asleep eating his pizza, he looks soooo sweet when he's sleeping!

He had such a hard time not getting in the water since the wedding was on the beach, although he was extremely grumpy, he did good.


Him and that silly face!




All the characters putting on a show, Owen loved it.

Me and my sweet boy.


Storytime with Elmo, he did good at participating!

Life doesn't get any better than this!!



He had to get a bongo...and yes, he played with it on the plane ride home.

Dinner on our last night there!

California

California 2009

We recently took a trip to California to see my cousin Sarah and my friend LaTisha. Owen's first airplane ride was a good one and the trip was a lot of fun...he says his favorite part of the trip was riding the horses (carousels)!

Camping Trip

Last weekend we went camping with Josh, Kelly, Kyndell and Kamryn, and Gordie, Shawna, Adrian and Andrew...the kids were great and we all had a good (hot) time.



Andrew was cooperating so well and trying to get Owen to do the same but it was not happening.

Kelly and Kamryn...I think.

Adrian rockin' out with his air guitar.

I think Kyndell and Kamryn need some "girl" friends, they had to take their shirts off since all the boys had theirs off. They all had a good time dancing while Owen ate snacks.

Once again, everyone is cooperating while Owen eats snacks! No wonder his belly is soooo big.
