Fun in the snow!

It started snowing last night around 7pm and hasn't stopped since (it's 12:00 noon now!). We probably have a good foot of fresh, soft, fluffy snow on the ground now! Owen and I went outside to play in it, and decided to give the swings a try. It has been a while since we went on those. After one brutal (very very very fast) ride sown the slide we decided to call it a day and come back inside. But if this weather keeps up, we'll probably be out there again tomorrow seeing as we can't get the car out of the driveway! :)

Imagination

I love listening to Owen play because he has such a great imagination! He will climb onto the couch and say it is a boat and that he is fishing. And I have to get up onto the couch too because it is surrounded with water and there are sharks in the water. Or he will be on our bed and he’ll pile the pillows up high and climb to the top of the ‘mountain’ and then fall off. Or he’ll be standing in the middle of a room with a blanket on his head pretending he is under a tent. Note: There are always parrots in the tent with him! And the other day we were shopping and he put his hand to his ear and pretended to be talking into a phone. He said "Hi Papa, I’m buying medicine, but we have to give it to the lady first. Ok, Papa, bye." I just love to see his imagination at work!

"I got game!"

Owen loves basketball. Even more now that he has all the equipment. Uncles Dusty and Jesse got him this jersey for Christmas, and Big-Papa (my Grandpa) got Owen this basketball hoop for his 2nd birthday. Owen plays 'hoops' multiple times a day, every day. He just loves basketball!

Mmmmm... cupcakes!

I'm at a baby shower and I hear Owen say "Mama, take a picture!" and I look over and see him holding this pose. He is MY BOY!

Owen's first attempt at shaving

Owen got a little shaving kit (no worries - there is no razor in there) for Christmas and today in teh bath he learned how to shave for the first time! What a funny little gift, but he loves it!

Tea Party

Owen went to Kaelen's house today and they had a tea party. Owen especially liked the cookies. :) Thanks for having us over Kaelen!

Big Boy Bed!

Well Owen slept through the night again in his big boy bed with no troubles! That is 2 nights in a row! Both evenings, around 9:30 or 10pm, Owen woke up crying, so I went in there. All I had to do was cuddle him for a bit and then he fell back asleep in the bed. And then he wakes up so happy and proud of himself! I think his crib days are over! Hooray!
