It's so hard for me to believe my first-born is FIVE. Seriously, how did that happen??
A little about Owen these days:
He loves to be outside. Anything from playing baseball to bike riding to gardening to hiking is on his list of fun things to do.
He is quite observant for a five year old. He always notices when I'm wearing new clothes or things he hasn't seen in a while.
He is organized. He likes everything to have a place and can be found at school or at a store putting stray things in their proper place. His teachers love this quality!
His favorite TV shows are Curious George and Wild Kratts.
He LOVES animals! His favorite toy is his massive animal figure collection.
He has recently become interested in coloring and drawing.
This kid is a whiz at the game Memory! Prepare to lose.
He is still affectionate. I'm going to get as much loving from this kid as I can now, because I've heard this will stop in a few years.
Last weekend we had a party to celebrate Owen's 5th birthday. He had about 14 friends join him at Bouncerz and they had a blast. I actually don't have many pictures of Owen at the party because he was running around so much and difficult to catch on camera!

Owen's actual birthday was on Monday and both Micah and I took off work that day to celebrate with him. Micah's parents were here for the occasion too, which made it even more special.
 |
| Owen woke up on his birthday to a room full of balloons! |
 |
| Like the movie "UP" |
 |
| Dad made him special '5' pancakes. |
 |
| Owen and Adler made a cool fort in the living room. |
 |
| Owen chose to go bowling for his birthday. |
After we went bowling, and while Adler was napping, Micah and I took Owen to the store to spend some birthday money he had received from his Great-Grandparents. He decided to go Michaels and buy more animal figures. It was adorable to watch him make decisions about what to purchase. In the end he bought 4 new animals and saved about $10 for another time.
 |
| And he asked to go out to eat at Red's for dinner. Interesting taste for a 5 year old. |
I can hardly wait to see what this next year has in store for Mr. O!!
