October

Now that November is half over...

Owen's belly shot for the month.
I'll try to get some good shots of mommy's belly and post soon.
Just over a month to go!

 Grandma Cathy and Great-Grandma Audrey came down to Aunt Jessica's one weekend to watch the kids.  Owen and I went over to help make a baby scarecrow and hang out for a couple of hours.

Trick or Treat!

Owen got to go trick or treating twice this year.  We went with daddy, granny, and aunt Dacey in Dexter when they were up for the weekend.  Then Owen and I went in Stuart on Halloween Day!  He did an awesome job!  He said trick-or-treat and thank you to every house we went to and did not want to stop.  He would have trick-or-treated all night if he could have I think.  He ended up with a whole pumpkin full of candy!

Our little Train Conductor

Halloween Part at Day-Care
This is Owen's best buddy Oliver.

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.

 Bourbon County Fair 2011

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!

Things Kids Say

Owen has been home sick with a fever for the last few days.  He has a stuffy nose and cough with a low grade temperature that just keeps hanging on.  Not sure what he has but hope he gets better throughout the weekend.

Matt is home with him this morning.

Daddy asks:  "Are you bored?"

Owen replies:  "I'm not a board, Owen's a Owen!

Got to love the mind of a two year old!! :)

4th of July Weekend

Still catching up.

We took a trip down to Sundown Lake, where Grandma Cathy and Roger have a cabin on their land, for the weekend.  Owen has taken to calling it Grandma's castle, not sure where it came from, but works for us. 

It was a good weekend, we got to do some relaxing, going to the beach, and canoe riding.

 Gotta love that "cheeser-face"

 Owen did not really care to go out in the water much, other than squirting everyone with his water gun.  But he did love playing in the sand.

 Of course his favorite part was probably the four-wheeler rides.

 First Canoe Ride.
