I don't know...

I don't know why, but Owen wanted to watch TV like this today. I asked him to put his legs down and he said he didn't want to. He stayed like this for at least 10 minutes.

Breakfast at the Lanteigne household

God is bigger

Tonight Owen choked on a hot dog and threw up at dinner. Yuck. Gabe was home alone with him and quickly called to tell me what had happened,. Needless to say. Owen didn't want anymore dinner after that. But after Gabe got off the phone with me, Owen came up to him and said “God is bigger Papa.” Gabe said “What??” and Owen repeated himself. “God is bigger Papa, right?” “Right” said Gabe. And then Owen said “God is an animal.” Gabe corrected him and said that no, God was not in fact an animal. Then Owen said “Right, God is our friend.” Isn't he such a sweet child?!?!?!

lunch

I am reminded again why we don't take Owen to restaurants. Gabe, Sean, Cari, Owen, and I just came3 back from a pretty unsuccessful lunch at E Young's. Owen refused to eat anything and cried a few times for no apparent reason, while I wolfed down my lunch to appease him. NO more!

Happy Fathers Day!

We had a Veggie Tales Fathers Day this year!

Mid-season ball tournament

This weekend was our ball team's mid-season tournament. Owen and I got to go see 2 of the 4 games. Owen loves to play baseball, and he is getting very good at just sitting and watching (and cheering on) Papa's ball games too!

After each game, Owen gets to play! Here is Owen and Papa playing baseball. Owen scores every time!

My stylin' little man!

Owen got another new haircut yesterday. This was by far our best experience at a hair salon (for Owen's hair cutes at least). We went to First Choice again. And other than getting hair all over us (so we just HAD to buy some new clothes), it was fantastic! We were in and out so quick and I LOVE how she cut his hair! Isn't he so handsome!?!

Elmido Farms

We went to Elmido Farms today (in Sardis) with our friends from Play Group. Kaelen lives there... well, next door to the barns - not really in the barns.

Owen and I really liked seeing the cows! And after the tour, Owen and I got ice cream, cupcakes, stickers, and crayons! It was fantastic!

And today is Josh's birthday too! Happy Birthday Josh! (that is Owen hugging Josh in the pone pic)

Thanks for having us over Kaelen!

Milkshake

Owen loves his milkshakes (milk, berries, and a banana). We have one a week (more if it is warmer weather).

How did you get dirt in your ear?!?

Oh... that's how!

:)

Owen's buddy Hayden came over today and with the weather being so nice they decided to play outside. After an hour of playing on the slide, in the fort (pirate ship), and on the swings, the boys made their way top the sand box. They only had to be in there about 5 minutes before they were both covered (head to toe) with sand. And it was damp too from the recent rain.

So before Owens nap he got a nice cool bath and I cleaned his ears out - they were full of sand!

I'm reading Mama!

Gabe and I woke up from our nap to go into Owens room and find this. We thought he had been sleeping too. Apparently not. He had every book off his shelves and every toy in his room in bed with him. You can only see about half of them here as a lot are under the blankets! Owen was very proud of himself!

Owen's 1st trip to the Zoo!

Owen had his first trip to the Zoo last Saturday. We all had a lot of fun! The three of us met up with a few other families from our Play Group.

This first picture grid is all the great pics of Owen - he loved looking at all the animals!

The second picture grid is a bunch of the cool stuff we saw at the Zoo!

I love the park!

Owen loves the sunshine, being outside, playing with his friends, and going to the park. So today was the perfect say for him!

We went to Ogopogo Park with our buddies from Play Group. Owen got to shovel dirt, playin barkmulch, go on the swings and on the slide, and play with trucks.

Plus he was looking sharp with his shades on the whole time. But the male to female ration was not in his favor. Only 2 girls and 5 boys. The preggo Moms in Play Group need to pop out some more girls.

:)

All in all, it was a fantastic 2 hours!

Here is a link to my Flickr account to see more of the pics from today...

The Blue Heron Reserve

Owen and I met up with our buddies from Play Group, and Owen s Grandma, today at the Blue Heron Reserve. I felt a little ashamed never being there before, as I have lived here for over 6 years now. But at least now I can say I have gone - and we're going to go again! We had such a fun time! We got to see (and help catch) a big green frog, and we saw birds, ducks, and geese too! I saw one Blue Heron far far away, but most of them were in their nests keeping their babies warm - it was a pretty cold and windy day!

Owen and Grandma climed up these really high stairs and looked at the lagoons from the very top. And then we had to run back inside quickly when the bugs came out -there were waaay too many for Mama to handle! But there were cool things to do inside too - look at real (stuffed) animals, play with some puzzles, and be entertained by the man that works there as he sang to us and played his harmonica. It was a great morning!

A day at the beach

Owen and I met some friends at the beach today and had a great time playing. We walked the docks, saw geese and ducks, threw rocks in the water, played on the playground, and had a Tim Horton's picnic.

Here Owen shows me how he is a fast airplane (he is a fast airplane a lot these days!).

We are looking forward to the weather being nicer so we can go to the beach more often.

Story Time at the Library

Owen and I went to Story Time at the Chilliwack Library today. They read books, sang songs, had a puppet show, and all the kids (I'd say over 20 of them) had a great time. Owen did too!

After Story Time with Crolyn was over Owen and I found some good books to bring home. This one, Daddy All Day Long, is about a little pig named Owen and his Daddy.

And then, on our way back to the car we saw lots of ducks, geese, and turtles in the pond. It was a good morning outing!

Owen's 3rd Pascha (well, the BBQ part at least)

This is Owen with 2 of his very best friends - Jonah and Christian. Even though these 2 boys are considerably older than Owen, they treat him like an equal and spent a lot of time playing with him. And heis just nuts about them! Yesterday, Owen got to play with his buddies for hours at the Paschal BBQ.











And this is another one of Owens favorite people - Avery. She was one of our first babysitters, and Owen is just nuts about her! Here, Owen and Avery are picking flowers, which he will later throw at her and the other girls - boys have such funny ways of flirting!








And here we are - me and my boy! I love this boy so much!

Now that is one fast airplane!

Owen recently bought bowling pins and uses them as other things more often than not. His bowling pins have been used as baseball bats, bird wings, guitars, and today they are airplane wings... very fast airplane wings! Woosh - see him go! :)

101.5

Yesterday, when Owen woke up from his nap around 5pm (he slept for 3 hours!) he felt very hot, and was very cranky and lathargic. I took his temperature and it was 101.5. So I gave his some Tylenol and made him a banana and mango milk smoothie. He hasn't eaten any solids since yesterday morning and only wants milk bottles now. We think he is finally getting that other molar in now – he says his mouth hurts. Maybe he is getting both of the last 2 molars. It would be nice to get this teething all over and done with for a while.

When we put him to bed at night he went down really well, but still had a fever of 100. He woke up around 10:30 with a fever of 103.5, nasty sweats, and a full diaper of grossness. He was up and and restless for about an hour after that (which really interrupted the LOST episode we were watching) but he was relatively happy. We gave him more Tylenol and a milk bottle, and Owen fell asleep in our bed with us around 11:30. Owen was up again at 4am with a fever of 101.5. I gave him more Tylenol and he went right back to bed.

I thought after all that interrupted sleep that Owen would sleep in a bit this morning, but he was up, like usually, at 7:30am. His fever was still at 101.5, so I gave him the last of the infant Tylenol, another milk bottle, and he is now watching In The Night Garden... again. I am so glad we taped that show yesterday – it is all he wants to watch now. I'll have to tape todays episode as well as this one is already driving Gabe and I nuts.

We had plans to visit with Play Group today but I think Owen and I will do best just staying home and taking it easy. I'll try to keep him hydrated, but I want to get my finger in his mouth at some point in the day to see if it is teeth, or perhaps a virus.

2 days at the Rotary Trail

Owen (sporting a new haircut) and I walked the Rotary Vedder Rivery Trail 2 days in a row this week.

Yesterday we met Owen's Grandma and Grandpa there (as they will soon live very close to the trail we wanted to show it to them). Owen had a great time throwing rocks into the river with his Grandpa!

And then today it was just the 2 of us going for a walk and watching the fishermen. We didn't see any fish though :(
