just some fun of owen playing with titus. owen has decided he likes to use a screaming voice now. titus isnt very amused, but is such a good sport.
meanwhile, all of our neighbors have gardens and keep bringing over tomatoes. i used to hate tomatoes, and now i have at least one a day. how on earth did that happen? i guess when youre a poor seminary family, you learn to like whats free! i also just put together a dinner menu for the next 10 days using only what is in our cubbard! we spend way too much at the grocery, so im going to start using a bunch of coupon websites and put together menus that way. i have a friend who did it and is saving hundreds each month. i enjoy doing stuff like that, so im gonna give it a go! first we have to get rid of everything we have though, so the next week or 2 may be interesting eating! nathan doesnt mind :)
im really looking forward to seeing my family in 2 weeks. YAY! owen cant wait to be in florida!

waiting
I'll admit, the only reason that I'm blogging is because I have to wait another hour before I meet Nathan for lunch. But at least I'm blogging, right?
Not much has been going on around our place, except that Owen is become more mobile and I chase him around the house CONSTANTLY. It is kind of unreal. The doctor said that if I cant see him, he is probably in trouble, which is SO true. A few days ago, he pulled an iron lamp off of the coffee table down onto himself. He also made it 5 steps up the stairs before I grabbed him recently (and our stairs have no sides, its scary). He wants to stick his hands in the toilet, tries to pull the oven open, and wants to pull himself up on Titus' food bowls. SUCH a handful!
He went to the doctor and got his big boy shots. He barely cried, such a tough guy. His hair is growing in pretty thick these days, though you can barely see it because he is so blonde. And his eyes are still bright blue, I hope they never change!
Nathan and I are doing great. He started school and is caarazy busy with tough classes while working full time. I am enjoying being home as a mother and Im still figuring out what to do during the day. Im headed to Florida to see my mom and dad and sister, and I am verrry excited! Owen needs to see his Aunt Sissy, for sure.
Here are a few recent pictures. And three different videos. Dont feel like ya have to watch them, theyre mainly for Owen's fabulous family!
Always trying to play with the potty.
He loves the grass.

i love sleep.
i really do love sleep. funny how a teething baby who is up at night can make you realize just how precious sleep is. i guess id be awake at night too if i had 4 teeth coming in up top. ouch.
im sorry to the few individuals who actually read my blog, ive been horrible at updating lately. im going to set a goal of once a week, then maybe a few times a week if i can stick with it. ive been a little busy lately, but i promise ill get back to it! especially for those of you who pester me until i blog again.. you know who you are..
well, everything is great with the baby boy. hes going on 9 months old now. so weird. hes walking along the side of the couch and pulling up on anything he can get his hands on. he got a mosquito bite on his forehead and has rubbed it against the side of the pack n play so much that its turned into a lovely scab. we've gone swimming a few times lately, which he loves, especially when daddy comes. i recently decided that i wasnt going to spend big bucks on diapers anymore and purchased some Luvs because they are cheaper. yeah, im going back to Pampers.. when he is wearing Luvs and i go to change his diaper, my hands get wet just from touching the outside of the diaper. so not ok. speaking of- i took him to the pool a few days ago but realized once i got there that the pool was closed. i put him back in the car seat and made the 3 minute drive home. when we got here, as i took him out of the carseat, i realized that peepee was running down my arm. he had gone potty in his swimming diaper, and apparently they dont hold anything in. it was a delightful mess in the carseat.
nathan just started school this week and he is going to be one busy boy. i also started working a little harder with my stay at home Advocare job, and its been fantastic! just in the last week have i started working like an hour a day instead of 30mins, and my paycheck doubled this pay period. heyo! hopefully ill really be bringing in a decent income within the next few months and we wont have to raise QUITE as much support when we plant a church next summer.
i guess i havent written since i went to the advocare convention in dallas, so here are a few pictures. we got to see grandma, stacy and marla, nana and pop, aunt libby, and aunt tracy and uncle claudio. he was one spoiled boy, thats for sure! heres some pics and videos from the past few weeks...

Daddys Boy
this child is a total daddy's boy. hes grumpy all day, but daddy comes home and hes a little giddy school girl. daddy's just sooooo funny! :) heres a quick video of him playing on daddy's shoulders. its his most favorite place in the world to be...
im TOTALLY excited about the bachelorette finale tonight. not quite as excited as last season, but still looking forward to it. nathan has lost interest, and i dont think ill be able to sucker him into another season. we've been working on eliminating some tv shows, and this might be one of them. along with top chef. we're going to have one tv night a week where watch tivo'd shows that we like. the other nights will be spent at the park with the baby and dog, or doing things fun! well, unless, of course, the rangers are on. then we just HAVE to watch! o gosh, and football season is coming up. so disregard everything i just said.
gonna start working on dinner for sarah and craig tonight, im so excited theyre back from thailand! we've missed them. so off i go..

clever title
i couldnt think of a clever title, so instead i just wrote "clever title." ha.
not much new, just thought id share a few green bean videos. i bought 5 things of green beans thinking id be using them, but he hates it. he doesnt like the texture of pears either. only bananas. SO, thats all he is eating for now, and still nursing. by the way- why is baby banana food so good?
here is my attempt to get owen to eat his green beans-
and when i got a good bite in his mouth-
