Getting Ready For Baby!

We are getting ready for the arrival of our second little boy...both scary and exciting! Scary because I am getting nervous about having two kids and working, but sooo exciting to think of all the love the next one will give us! Owen is getting very anxious, asking us often when he's going to "patch" (not sure where he got that). My very good friends gave me a wonderful shower this past Saturday at the Tea Garden in Bolivar...I got lots of great things! Five weeks left!

Words from Owen

I haven't been very good about posting lately but in the last couple of days, Owen has said some pretty funny stuff so I thought I'd share...

After making a pretend drawing, this was our conversation:
Owen: Have you seen this guy?
Mommy: No, what does he look like?
Owen: He's big, and he wears a camoflauge hat.
Mommy: Oh, does he have a name?
Owen: Yes, it's Nathan Garver!

Owen has never been allowed to sit on the coffee table but while watching a movie the other day, he snuck up there and said this:
Owen: Mommy, don't come in the living room and see me sit on the coffee table, okay??
Mommy: Are you supposed to be sitting on that?
Owen: Just don't come in here and see me, okay?
Daddy: I see you Monkey...
Owen: Daddy, DON'T say a word!

After discussing baby names he says this:
Owen: Andrew says he's going to name his baby Andrew, so I want to name our baby Owen
Mommy: But if you're both named Owen, you won't know when I'm yelling who is in trouble.
Owen: Well then I guess you just shouldn't yell.

Big Boy Room

In preparation for the new baby, we finally got Owen a big boy bed, and he LOVES it!
I'm not completely done with it but for the most part, I'm really happy with how it turned out.

Christmas 2009

This was the first Christmas that Owen really got into gift opening, he was a lot of fun and next year we'll have an 8 month old to add to the excitement! Hard to believe...


Grandpa Bud, Namma, Owen, Me and BoBo...Owen would only agree to the photo if we were all holding a tool.

Christmas Eve, the Hubbard boys were completely cooperative for this photo...Owen, not so much. He was feeling pretty silly!

His Aunt Jill will do anything to get him to smile!

Santa brought him a jeep and as soon as he got in, he mashed down on the gas pedal and not knowing it was in reverse, he rammed into the desk holding Santa's cookies!

Grammy got him a Handy Manny that he loves playing with.

Getting ready for his baby brother, he was really concentrating on feeding him.

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!

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!

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! :)
