Baby Update!

Well I am 38 weeks now and I had a doctors appointment today. I found out that I am 70% effaced and have started to dilate! The baby's head is down and has started to enter the birth canal. We are getting closer and I can't wait. My grandma's birthday was on the 1st so I would love it if I had the baby on Sunday!

Wrestling!

Sunday after church my family all gets together and has a nice lunch together. Yesterday Andy was playing on the floor with Owen and in comes Tay and Brayden. All three boys attacked Andy and wrestled with him until Andy had no more energy left. When Mitch arrived he joined in on the action! They love it when they get wrestling time even the big boys!

Owen's sleep over at Grandma and Grandpa's house!

Dancing to music while grandma cleaned the house!

He loves to take a bubble bath!

He is also into the wash cloth and washing his body telling you all his body parts!

Being silly with grandpa!

Owen had a sleep over at my parents house as a practice run for when the baby is born. He has never stayed to night with them alone so we thought that it would be a good idea to have him stay with them at least once before hand. He was so excited to have a night alone with them. I dropped him off and told him buy but he was so excited that he did not even notice that I had left for a couple hours! He did really well but my mom had to sleep with him. I think that he will do just fine with out me for a couple days. I how ever still have a hard time leaving him over night. I can't believe that we are about to have another little one soon!

Blast from the past

Papa waking up from the camera flash while Owen is fast alseep. To be a baby again!
Last year Andy and I took a financial bible study at church and Owen went to grandma and grandpa's house. We would pack his pj's so that he would be ready to come home and go to bed when we were done. HE would some times curl up with one of his grandparents and fall asleep. This time it was papa and papa fell asleep with him! It was to cute to not take a picture of. Thanks mom.

Well this year we had a great Christmas. We spent Christmas Eve with my family hanging out with friends playing games. We all stayed up late even the kids. Melissa and her boys and Andy, Owen and I all spent the night at my parents house. Owen did not sleep well at all and at about three in the morning the refinery had a big explosion. After a long night with little sleep we all got up and had a nice breakfast together. Mitch joined us at about 8 to eat a little and start on the presents. All three boys had a lot of fun opening the presents that they got. Owen wanted to stop and play with everything that he got while Tay just wanted the next gift to tear into! After we finished at my parents house we left for Red Lodge to join Andy's family. We arrived in Red Lodge to a house full of gifts and a turkey dinner just coming out of the over. It was a fun time spent with Drake, Ivy, Kris , Allen, Jean, Vicki and Duncan. We were short this year missing Sara and Brad. I forgot my camera so I am with out pictures from Red Lodge. We spent about five days in Red Lodge with Vicki, Duncan and Jean. Andy skied just about every day with a broken rib. God really blest our Christmas season this year!

Owen's second birthday!!

I can't believe it my baby boy is now two. I can hardly remember him as a baby. Some day's I wish that I could slow down time. Owen had a blast at his party. He had some of his favorite friends over and of course his cousins! He now understands what presents are.

Playing with Grandma!

Grandma came over this fall and took Owen out to play in the leaves. They had so much fun playing outside together!

Halloween!

This year Owen started to understand trick or treating! So we loaded him up and took him to Laurel to go out with his cousins. Tay had been looking forward to Halloween for weeks and he ended up getting really sick and not able to go out. Melissa and I took Owen and Brayden and they had so much fun. Bray wanted to go into everyones house and he called one man Wonka. Both Owen and Brayden love Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory! Owen would say thank you after each time he got a piece of candy, he is always using his manners. They had so much fun together. It's to bad that Tay could not have joined them.

Florida!

In September we went to Florida on vacation to visit our friends Steve and Judy! We had all kind of fun. We spent two days at Disney parks and a day at Daytona Beach. It was our first family vacation and had so much fun. We can't wait to go back and see the Maehl's again.

Owen!

When ever we had people and it was time for Owen to go to bed he would make his way to the hall. He could not stand being left out so time after time he would fall asleep in the hall. I am glad that he has grown out of that! It was cute but nice that we don't have to fight to get him to stay in bed!

Maya!

Sara and Mark are back now! One day over the summer Owen and I got to watch Maya for Sara and Mark. Owen was so interested in everything that Maya did. Every time that she made a sound he had to tell me to get the baby. It was so cute to see them together. I only hope that he is as interested in his little brother as he is in Maya!

Tay's 4th Birthday!

We had so much fun sharing in Tay's 4th Birthday. Man does time fly.
