Owens Prayer

I know I posted this on facebook, but I thought Id repost.  Im going to save or print out this blog eventually as a sort of scrap book for the boys, so i need to put all the fun things my boys say in it!

i found the boys playing in our closet this morning, and this was the conversation-
owen: bubba, you wanna pray?
caleb- yeah!
owen: thank you God for daddy and mommy and going to Locomotion and my feet and your (calebs) face and socks. in Jesus name,
both: Amen!

Partay

And for the last blog about Owens birthday... Although we had 2 parties with family members, I was starting to feel a bit guilty about not having a "friends" party for O. So, at the last minute, I threw together a quick party for our 2 wonderful neighbor families and a few of Owens favorite babysitters at church!  We reused grandmas Toy Story decorations (thanks!), ordered pizza, and ate more puppy chow. It was short and sweet, and Owen felt very loved. Here are a few pics and a video of us singing him happy birthday.  And yes, I put candles in his cup of puppy chow.  When eggs are not an option, a birthday cake is not an option!  Puppy chow is about the only sweet thing he will eat, so puppy chow is what he got!

Birthday Continued...

Owen had about 4 parties this year for his birthday.  I decided not to plan a big one, but that ended up turning into a number of small ones!  After the party in Florida, Nana and Pop decided to drive up from Denton to spend the day with Owen.  They brought LOTS of presents and took us out for a fun dinner.  Nathans birthday was 2 days later, so he got some goodies as well.  Nana and Pop are always SO good to us; we had a wonderful time!

 

Owen also had a party at school.  He LOVES his school, which is really just 2 days a week for 4 hours, but its so wonderful for him!  His teacher is phenomenal and he loves his friends.  I made puppy chow, his current favorite, and they had a little get together in the middle of the day.  Mrs Leslie also put his picture on the door, and he LOVED it!

Thanksgiving in Florida

I have a lot of catching up to do, so pardon me for posting a number of blogs today!  Both boys are sick and feverish, so its a movie/blog kind of day. We're currently sitting on the couch watching UP while mommy catches up on some emails and blogging!

For Thanksgiving this year, we got to fly out to Florida to see Grandma and Grandpa!  It was a wonderful trip.  We stayed for 4 days, so it didnt feel rushed or busy.  We did lots of shopping, playing, and relaxing.  We took some fun family photos, ate at some fabulous places, had Thanksgiving with some extended family, and then had Owens birthday party to top it off!  He told Grandma in advance that he wanted a Toy Story party, so he got quite the party!  Lots of fun gifts and love all around.  Here are a few pics from our trip and the party.

We always have a wonderful time at Grandma and Grandpas.  Nathan and I got spoiled along with the boys.  It was a great trip!  Next trip coming up- me, my sister, and my mom are headed to New York for a girls weekend in January.  Ive never been and I am VERY excited! Heyo!
