Coolest Dad!

Happy First Father's Day to Micah!!!! Yesterday we went to Pyramid Lake with our friends Kim and Bob who have a wakeboarding boat. Micah got to try out his new board and guess what??? He still has all his moves! Owen was impressed with his dad's wakeboarding skills. And we were VERY impressed with Owen on the boat. We weren't sure how he would do with a life jacket on, but he was calm and cool the entire time....about 4 hours! He even took a nap during the roughest part of our ride. And today we had a very laid back day. Micah wanted to go to a movie, so we took Owen for the first time. He got fussy about half way through, but fell asleep and slept the rest of the movie!

6 Month Photos

Today we took Owen to Little People Portraits for his 6 month pictures! He just happened to be in an excellent mood and they did such a good job with him! These are our favorites. And about the rubber chicken......Owen really liked it so Micah wanted the chicken in the photo!

Here is Micah at 6 months and Owen at 6 months, wearing the same outfit and the same smile.

Swimming with Dad

Micah took the morning off work today and joined us for Owen's swim class. He was the only dad there today!

Owen & Brock

Owen is now 6 months old!!! We can hardly believe it! We visited his friend Brock yesterday and it was the first time they really interacted with one another. They are getting to be so fun! Tonight Owen had avocados for dinner.....he didn't seem too impressed. It was his first food to try other than rice cereal. In a few days he'll try a banana and maybe he'll like that better.

Virginia City & Wild Horses

On Sunday we went to Virginia City for the afternoon. And on our drive to Reno we saw lots of wild horses! More than we've ever seen in one herd (I counted over 40). Look how close they were to the road! Ann left yesterday to go back home to Texas.....we sure enjoyed her being here!

Carson City Rendezvous

On Saturday we went to the Carson City Rendezvous, an annual celebration/festival of the wild wild west. They have a mini-train at the park, so Owen took his first train ride. He wasn't so sure about the tunnel we went through but other than that, he liked it! The weather was gorgeous and we ate delicious Indian tacos for lunch....YUM!

Random Pics

Kristin and Jack joined us for our swim class on Friday. And then we had brunch at Comma Coffee. Jack wasn't so sure about Owen because he kept trying to steal Jack's toys and sippy cup!


Kelly took Ann on a little off-roading drive. Nice view of Carson.....

Dirty Joke

We were checking out some old videos, and ran across this one of Micah's grandfather. To breakup the steady stream of Owen updates we thought it would be funny to post this video with a few modifications. We know that when Pop sees it he will turn a couple of shades of red, and won't be very happy about it, but we could not resist. Enjoy!

And to make it clear this was totally Kelly, Ann and Owen's idea! ;)

i love cereal

This past weekend Owen ate his first solid food.....rice cereal! This was the first time he had eaten anything other than breast milk and you would have thought he'd been eating for months! He was even grabbing the spoon and trying to feed himself!

A Good Day....

Yesterday we spent the day in North Lake Tahoe. We ate burritos for lunch, hung out at the beach for a while, and did some shopping in Tahoe City. Micah is thrilled because he bought himself a new wakeboard.....now all we need is a boat! :o)

Owen wasn't so sure about the lake water flowing over his feet.

This is the dirtist Owen's feet have ever been!
