WORMS!

We have a little helper in the yard this year! Last weekend we planted our vegetable garden and Owen just LOVED getting in the middle of things. He also liked all the worms we found in the soil.

Owen's new 'do'

I followed Owen around the house this afternoon and got some cute pictures of him with his new hair cut.

He's yelling at the dogs through the fence.





Owen loves his new stool.....it allows him to to reach everything he shouldn't play with......thanks Grandma!

Last weekend....

Last weekend we had record highs and Owen played in the backyard naked. This weekend, there's new snow in the mountains and we're wearing winter clothes again. We are so ready for summer to get here for good!

Here's Owen at Ethan's birthday party last weekend.



Right after this picture was taken, there was a crash on the slide!




Owen loves hats!


Owen loves to be pushed around the house in the laundry basket. Notice his baby is along for the ride.

I'm not 20 anymore.....

Last weekend I partied it up more than I have in years....seriously. It was my friend Kim's bachelorette party and a group of us rented a house in South Lake Tahoe for the weekend. I only stayed for one night (and as it turned out, that was about all I could handle anyways). We had a blast though and danced all night long. Now we can look forward to the wedding!

Bike to Work Week 2008

So this last week was bike to work week and the two of us both rode our bikes one day. It was fun to leave the car in drive way and let our legs get us to work. It took Kelly about 20 minutes to get across Carson and it took Micah about 240 minutes to get across the mountain. Kelly is just much faster! After it was all said and done I think Kelly has decided to ride her bike to work more often and Micah has decided that he does not want to even look at his bike again until next years bike to work week!

Buddies and Boats

Earlier this week Micah watched Owen and his buddy Ryder while I went with Ryder's parents to see a documentary film, The Business of Being Born. Owen and Ryder had fun playing in the bath together and it looks like Micah enjoyed giving them mohawks! The film was also quite interesting for anyone thinking about having a baby.


I have been attending a conference in South Lake Tahoe this week and last night we all went on the MS Dixie dinner cruise with the conference. Owen went on the boat last year too, but definitely enjoyed it more this time around. The weather was gorgeous and he loved looking at the water. But I think his favorite thing was the band! He would just stand on the dance floor and stare at the band members.....completely entranced.


Here we are in Emerald Bay

Funny Face

Last weekend we celebrated our anniversary by getting a babysitter for the night and having dinner at the Melting Pot in Reno.....we heart fondue. As much as we enjoyed our adult night out, we sat there talking about Owen the entire time and tried to imitate his funny face. It's much cuter on him.

Our 7th Anniversary!

Today marks our 7th anniversary! Wow.....it's amazing how fast that went! I don't even feel like we're old enough to have been married for that long. I put together this slide show to surprise Micah today, so enjoy Sweetie! We've had so many wonderful times together and I absolutely love this life we've built.

Feed Me!

Every morning Micah and Owen share a bowl of cereal for breakfast. Micah says this is his favorite part of the day.

Owen likes to feed himself now....it's a little messy but he's doing pretty good!

Today we went to downtown Reno for the annual River Festival/Kayaking Competition. It's a really nice community event....weather was great and Owen had lots to look at.

Dessert....YUM!

Playtime

Any time is playtime for Owen. Last week we went to a duck park and Owen had a blast feeding the ducks bread.


Owen harrassed the baby duck for a while.


We took Owen to a children's puppet show at the Children's Museum yesterday. Then he got play there for a while (Micah had fun too).


Remember the movie BIG?


Owen likes to make an obstacle course out of the chairs.

Boys in Texas

Micah and Owen flew home to Texas last weekend for a quick trip. They went to watch Micah's brother, Matt, compete in a collegiate track meet (he won 3rd in hammer and 5th discus). They also got to visit with lots of family. I on the other hand missed my boys. But I did manage to enjoy myself a little.....movie, massage, shopping.....but by Sunday I was thrilled to have them home!

Owen bonding with the Langdon Jeep.



Too early for Owen.
