Owen's Birthday Pictures

Some fun facts about Owen....
He is Mr. speed crawler! We thought he'd be walking by now since he started crawling around 6 1/2 months. No siree, he is totally content on all fours.
If you leave the bathroom door open he somehow knows and before you know it he's splashing around in the toilet water.
He loves to feed himself. No baby food for him! He loves pancakes, cheese, turkey, chicken nuggets, grapes, strawberries, and mac n'cheese.
He loves Abby except when she's a little rough with him, then he doesn't like her so much.
He loves little cars
He loves me to sing him "popcorn popping", 3 little monkeys, and itsy bitsy spider.
He has four teeth
He has alot of hair! Abby was pretty much bald until she was two so we're not sure where he gets his nice thick hair (Mike and I sure don't have thick hair!)
He loves to climb on Abby's bed, and into her little doll crib, and in the cupboards under the entertainment center (Abby calls them her little house).
Sometimes he says "mama" and "dada", but I'm not sure if it's on purpose yet or if he's just making those sounds.
I'm guessing he weighs around 30 pounds. In the pictures he is wearing a 2T top and 3T shorts.
We don't call him our Big O for nothin'!
Happy Birthday Owen, we love you!!

Owen is 1!

More pictures to come, but just wanted to get the highly anticipated cake eating video up for all to see. He didn't belly flop onto the cake like Mike had hoped but he got into it. Fast forward to about 2:30 to see him start pounding down some big ole hunks of cake. We love our Owen boy!

Easter Weekend

There's a cute little fishing pond close to our home that Paul and Shar took us to.





Mike caught a turtle instead of a fish

Justin and Owen were great spectators.



Happy Easter!

My friend Meredith organized a little Easter egg hunt at a nearby park. There was quite a big turnout!



Cute Easter dress that Aunt Emily picked out for Abby. So adorable!


Old Macdonald's Farm

Mike had an Easter work party at the farm last weekend. Abby liked feeding and petting the animals, and Owen did pretty well hanging out in the stroller. The highlight for Abby was the pony ride, and when a goat tried to eat Mike's pants!











Abby got a little stamp in her goodie bag, she thought it was lipstick...



Owen's first spaghetti dinner!

New Car!

We said goodbye to our Alero...

and hello to our new Toyota Sienna!
And so it begins....we are officially initiated into the kingdom of Mormon families...
Mike says once we fill this van with a couple more kids and have one of those storage clam shells on top will be the moment when he knows we have "arrived"... ha ha.

Our Day

Ready for church! Abby has starting being very particular about which kind of dress she wears to church. She likes dresses that are "very beautiful - like Snow White".

This is Owen's new favorite place in the house. Mama and Dada's big bathtub. Yep.

Abby likes to pick flowers for Mama.

Let me in now!

I'm hungry for ribs!

Abby has crazy flexibility.

Silly times

It was a nice day :)
