A boy & his trains...

So, this post is a little late-Owen's birthday was actually Sunday. Oops! I just can't believe my little man is 2! Crazy! It seems like only yesterday we were so excited to get some more testosterone in our house! We were so happy to get a boy & couldn't wait to meet him...
Owen was born June 29th
weight: 7 lbs 11oz
height: 21 inches

First Christmas

Owen's first Lake Powell trip

Owen turns 1!

He wants to be just like daddy

He loves to make a mess!

Owen's is getting so funny! He is such a goof ball & loves to show off & make us laugh. He loves loves loves to wrestle with Daddy. He is such a little tough guy...
And like most little boys who have discovered Thomas the Train-he is obsessed! He loves these little trains. He carries them around all day & says 'choo choo' over & over. It is so cute! This is a much needed change in our house that is filled with Barbie, My Little Pony, & Polly Pocket! It was hilarious to see how excited he got with all the train presents. The faces he made where so funny & animated. He kept shouting for joy & doing little dances-hilarious! Here are a few pics from the big day...

Averee & Adee had to get in on all the train action...luckily Owen shares better than they do!

Owen can't even hold all the trains he has now-what a lucky boy!

He did so good blowing the candles out-I was surprised he even knew what to do. He got them both out in just 2 breaths!

Well, our little man is getting bigger & funnier everyday. We love you OJO & can't wait to see what you will do next! Besides climb on the counter, empty the cabinets, play in the toilet, etc etc etc... :0) We could live without all that-but we couldn't live without you!

Two years already? I remember when you were still pregnant with him and I was scrapbooking at your house in Ivins with Kristie. How does time slip by us so fast? He is a cutie, and so are your girls.

Happy Birthday Owen! Maren, I still remember being in Panguitch with you, me, Rach, and Tiff with huge prego bellies, and all with little boys. That was such a fun memory and I can't believe they're all two or almost 2. It looks like he had a good day. I sure miss you.

Happy Birthday to your little guy - and congrats to you too! I think moms should be honored on their kids birthdays as if to say "You've made it through another year and look at this wonderful, happy child you're raising!".

Darling pictures and a great blog. Just wanted to say Hi!

I can't believe he is 2 already. Wow... I remember when you had him, seems like yesterday. He is so precious and adorable. I remember I came over to watch the girls one afternoon like 2 weeks after you had him and you left him and the girls were having a nap and I fell asleep on the couch with him in my arms. He was such a good little baby.. But I guess he isn't that little anymore. I love you guys and miss you. Give the kids lovins for me and tell the girls I said Hi. Love You
