deception

oooooh, the deception begins. my sweet little owen, though he already has expressed his attitude and tendency towards rebellion :), just performed his first real deceitful deed. and im sure hes done plenty before, but he was completely caught in the act...

i asked him to eat all of his strawberries before he could play outside, and i turned around just in time to see him stuffing the strawberries underneath his booster seat tray. when i asked him where his strawberries were, he just looked straight ahead, not making eye contact and not making a sound. ahhhh my sweet owen. needless to say, he ate all of his strawberries before he went outside. so it begins...

heres a video of owen saying the names of his neighbor friends. hes been a bit stingy when it comes to using his words, so we were excited :)

2 Years Old!

Owen turns two tomorrow (WEIRD!!), so Nana and Pop came up today to give him his present. He got a cute little grill that looks like daddy's so they can cook hot dogs together :) so fun. We had a nice lunch out and got some fun time at the park. Im telling ya, this kiddo is spoiled rotten. Here are a few pics from the day-







SO, Owens birthday has been a tad difficult since he is allergic to eggs. In Florida, my mom made my favorite dessert, Dirt with worms. So fun and cute! Owen would have nothing to do with it.. except he ate the worms (as seen in the previous post). Aaaand likewise, Nana made some fabulous egg-free cupcakes for Owen, and this was his reaction-








SERIOUSLY?! Maybe next year will be different :)

So, a fruit roll up was his birthday dessert... who could ask for more?

BeHiNd

Im so dang behind on blogging. Ill blame it on Nathan taking the laptop to work a lot lately, but I probably wouldnt have done much blogging anyway :)

A lot has happened, including traveling to Denton to buy a minivan. Honda Odyssey to be exact. And yes, Im in heaven. I love the way it looks, love the power sliding doors, love the dvd player and leather, and LOVE the space! 3 additional people can ride with us even when we have the boys in the car. So fabulous. We got to stay with Nana and Pop, which is always a treat. We even got to see Aunt Tracy and Uncle Claudio, and we got to visit Samantha and Brandon and meet their new baby boy, Ben. Quite the trip to the hometown.

We also went to Florida for Thanksgiving and had a wonderful time! The boys got some good time with Grandma and Grandpa, got to visit Aunt Sissy and Aunt Beth and Uncle Larry, we had a great meal, and we did lots of shopping! Yes, we hit up Black Friday and had a great time! Here are a few pictures of our family celebrating Owen's second birthday which is tomorrow, December 5th.








Owen is one blessed munchkin.

yuck

we are so yucky around here. both boys are super sick, not sleeping at night, and mommy and daddy are exhausted. we know the sickness is coming for us, its just a matter of time.

owen was very interested in playing with caleb today, which means this sort of thing-




i dont know if i should have thanked him or disciplined him :) love him!

peekaboo!

We're a Mess

We're a mess around here... this silly guy is goofing around-



And this is what happens in the morning when daddy leaves for work. Its unreal.. there is an emotional breakdown every morning.



He is SUCH a daddy's boy. Im sure he will come back around to mommy one day :)

Halloween Fun

Nathan and I LOVE our neighborhood, because we have such fabulous neighbors! Last night we got to go trick or treating with them, and it was so much fun :) Owen's friends are Grace (who was Alice), Aiden (who was the tin man), and Alex (who was a lion). They are a few years older than Owen, so it was great for him to learn the art of trick or treating. We had a few issues with Owen wanting more than just one piece of candy, and he also wanted to go inside all of the houses. He eventually got the hang of it and had a good ole time! Here are some pics. And a quick pic of O's super cute skeleton outfit from Aunt Margie. It glows in the dark! :)









Am I blessed or what??
