September

There are many days that I would love to get rid of our Sallie puppy.  She is all beagle puppy and drives me nuts most days, but Owen does enjoy playing with her most times.  Matt and Owen recently took Sallie in to get fixed and we discovered we would not be able to get rid of her.  Owen melted down sobbing when they went to leave without his Sallie puppy.  So as much as she gets on mommy's nerves, Owen loves her.



ABC's



They sing and learn lots of songs at daycare.  This is Owen's alphabet a month ago, they have improved since then, I'll have to get another video.  I am a little biased, but I think he does pretty well for being just under two and a half.

August

Not too many to post for this month.  But some cute ones none the less.

Grant gave Owen his gator.  Thanks Grant!

Mommy's been measuring her belly so of course Owen needs to as well.

July 2011 & the Bourbon County Fair

Finally had a chance to upload pictures from the cameras from the summer.  Now we can get caught up in quick succession

We had a couple huge limbs blown out of the tree in the yard.  It was a great jungle gym until daddy got it cleaned up.

Fishing trip.  Owen and I eventually ended up setting in the truck running the air conditioner, it was so hot, and daddy was finally catching a few and did not want to leave.

Pee-Wee Showmanship

Owen had lots of entries at the fair.  We took some gardening from our house and some cookies, then Aunt Dacey, Granny, and Grandpa entered some things under his name too.  He even had a rabbit entered under his name thanks to Cousin Tanner.  He had a great time and enjoyed sleeping in the camper for nap.  It was a great, yet terribly hot, week!  Cannot wait until he can do 4-H or Boy Scouts!

Owen Quotes & Daycare Field Trip

Owen's imagination and conversation have been going wild lately.  He sometimes says the most random, and funny things.  He likes to play dragons and shoot things, which I think is a lot of an influence from the three year old boy that attends his day care.  They are best buds and Owen definitely likes having another boy to play with.  I think he gets pretty bored with just me around and loves to wrestle and play football with daddy, which of course I cannot do very well right now.

Owen Quotes

Papa quotes Napolean Dynamite sometimes to Owen when we are eating.  Papa says "Eat your ham, Tina!" and Owen usually replies "No, Owen not a Tina!"  The other day while eating pancakes for supper, I told Owen to eat his pancakes.  His response:

"No, say, eat your pancakes Tina!!" :)

We are traveling down to Kansas for the weekend and of course Owen is super excited to go.  He has been saying Owen go right now all week, every time we talk about it.  He can never wait to ride Grandpa's tractor and pet cows, though he does not usually get to pet them, he does get to set up front in the feed truck and help take them a bale of hay.  Last night, Matt and Owen were talking about our trip and Owen says,

"Grandpa's little cows aren't big ones, they're baby ones!"

Little Paws Daycare, where Owen attends took a field trip to Patch's Pumpkins yesterday and got to take a tractor/train ride, see animals, and pick out a small pumpkin.  Christine (daycare lady) said Owen said "This is fun!" over and over again on the tractor/train ride.  Here is the picture she sent of the afternoon with Oliver, Sissy (Kamry), and Owen.  They had the whole place to themselves!
