Cowboy

I was going to put this up a few days ago, but forgot. This is from our ward Halloween party. We forgot to bring our camera but our friends took a picture of Owen for us. He was seriousally the hit of the show. Everyone thought his costume was the best. This picture doesn't do justice, but it's cute.

Pulled this out of the pile..deserves showing off

I was looking for a new desktop background picture this morning and fell in love with this picture. Last year Owen was still our baby, but this year he is all little boy. Makes me miss the baby!

Thanks Jon for taking some cute family pictures of us!

Stitches

Here is our little guy with his stitches! Still happy as can be! Click on the image to enlarge! "Cheese!"

Owen

Owen is so much fun just to hang out with. A few days ago I was lying on the family room floor on a pillow that Owen had gone upstairs and gotten me. After returning with a pillow for himself he laid down and turned to me and said
"I need a book."
"You need a book?" I replied.
"Ya"
"Maybe you should go get one."
"yeahhhhh mommie" he said and then jumped up to get one.















Here are the little books that I love reading to him.

















The smile says it all!
I love little Owen! He is so much fun I can't imagine life without him.
Congratulations to Jon and Kanien who are just starting the adventure!

Ricketts Glen

This past weekend we took a camping trip up to Ricketts Glen State Park.
It is located about 2 1/2 hrs North East of Hershey. We failed to make reservations and when we called on Friday they said they only had 5 sites left! Luckily Jeff got off early and we got the second to last spot. It is a beautiful area and reminded us more of a mountain setting than anywhere we've yet visited.


Here is Owen and me making pancakes and sausage. Owen had
a lot of fun. He called the tent "a tunnel" the whole time and still refers
to it that way.

He loved playing with all the dirt and sticks,


and throwing rocks into the bottom of the waterfalls.
Jeff carried Owen the whole time!!!
Sometimes he was good and.....
well sometimes he was a little crazy.

We had such a great time and are glad we went in spite of all the work it takes to go camping. It was perfect weather-blue skies, cool temperatures, low humidity and the waterfalls were amazing!
