Owen is 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!

We had a kids party for Owen this morning. The kids decorated their goodie bags with stickers, they played with toys, and watched Backyardigans. But the favorite part for all the kids was eating the cupcakes I made. They were green with coconut grass, plastic animals, candles, and sparklers on them. We had hotdogs and chili for lunch, and most of the kids, and some adults, were dressed up as cowboys! 

Poor Owen wasn’t really himself this morning, and he woke up from his nap with a fever of over 102 degrees, so once he got some Tylenol, he was acting more normal. 

And then we had a family birthday dinner as well. We had lasagnia and Caesar salad for dinner. We had more grass cupcakes, and Mummo made an apple pie too! And again, Owen got a ton of cool presents.

He had a great evening and really enjoyed playing with Nathan, dancing for all of us, and trying on all his new costumes. 

Owen and Josh - BFF's!

Owen and Josh are best friends. They like to do everything together whenever they can!

Today we all went to Go Banana's, and then the Parsons came back to our house with us for a pizza lunch, and the kids got to play for a few more hours. Josh and Owen colored together, watched TV together, played together - they even went potty together!

spending the day with Grandma

Owen visits Grandma about once a week. Today we went for a walk along the river. Owen and Grandma found nice big rocks to throw in the river and made big splashes.

Owie and Andy

Owen and Andy get along great. They each get so excited to se each other and they play so well together. Already they are best friends. 

Owen is almost 3 and Andy is almost 7 months old.

Owen is turning 3!

Owen's 3rd birthday party will have a cowboy theme... as you can see, he is very excited about it!

Play-doh

Owen LOVES play-doh. And he loves the Backyardingans. And he LOVES pirates. So a Backyardigan play-doh pirate ship was the perfect Christmas gift for him! 

Thanks Auntie Cari and Uncle Sean! This has already been hours (and hours!) of fun!

Happy New Year! Welcome 2009...

Owen stayed up until midnight for the last time since... well... probably since he was only a few weeks old. 

We celebrated New Years eve last night with a few friends and Owen got to play with Piper and Sarah, dress-up, watch movies, play Rock Band, and ring in the new year with all the grown ups. And then he promptly passed out around 12:05am.
