owie

To my sister...you are a genius! She took a random afternoon, a little boy who loves to be outside, her creative magic, and photographed memories that truly capture the essence of my Owen.

This is where the photo shoot ended!

Nothing but net...

Mom, I know you bought Owen a step stool for Christmas...but it wasn't entertaining Owen the way I needed it to. So I returned it! In exchange I got a basketball hoop that he is LOVING. Thanks twice. This is Owen's "Thank you Grandma" face.
He couldn't resist inviting his friend Bentley to enjoy some hoops, and his toybox.

Here is the winner...

You guys really helped me through my swimsuit crisis! It's hard to see but it's chocolate zebra print with orange stitching. AMAZING!!! Now I am ready for our cruise!

Down and Out

(Disclaimer) I would just like to apologize in advance for these horrendous pictures of myself, and Owen. Mike is out of town, missing Owen, and pushing me to update some pictures of Owen on the blog. I keep trying to tell him that Owen is sick and not a sight to be seen right now. I guess sometimes you just need to see it for yourself...I caught Owen violently chewing on the cap of the Tylenol bottle...I think he may have been trying to tell me something. "Drugs, Mommy, Drugs!"
I love the after-look as if to say, "Excuse me, I am on an important call here."

Yep, he's sick all right! Not sure what my excuse is.

Here are some happier days to remember, Dad. We miss you.

And the winner is...

Mike and I are going on a cruise in April, and my current swimsuit situation is a DISASTER. Let's just say I purchased all my suits when I was nursing Owen. Moving on....if any of these strike you as a swimsuit you would like to see on my pear shaped, post Owen body let me know. I love these three and need help pulling the trigger! Thanx my friends!

secure in his manhood

Yes, these are Owen's first pair of girl jammies! They were too cute to pass up. I figured Owen was man enough to pull these off, and with a fist full of rocks there is no denying that this kid is all BOY!
Owen has be exploring the wonderful world of...(drumroll)...dirty clothes hampers. Yes, that is right! For what ever reason he takes anything he can find, ANYTHING, and disposes of them in our various hampers through out the house. See for yourself...

Maybe it's just me, but there is nothing like the sound of your children's laughter!

Stay at home crafts...

I like every now and then to post about something other than Owen...imagine that!! So I figured I would post some more of my recent crafting, so I can feel that I have more to show for my day other than watching the Doodle Bops, feeding Owen, changing diapers, and going to the gym.

(Okay, well I am going to post some video of Owen, but we have to add something on here for the grandparents.)
