Have fun as a family!

Last weekend we did yardwork all day both days. It was beautiful outside and it was nice to get out and get dirty...Owen especially enjoyed the dirty part. He got his very first grass stains and decided to feed himself a homemade "salad" of grass and mulch. He was a very well behaved boy and he let us get a lot done while he played in the grass with his toys. He even kept his granny bonnet, otherwise known as a sunhat, on his head the whole time. Thanks Uncle Matt for sending it to him! I'm sure it will be used often this summer!

Owen got to eat out in the backyard on Saturday for his first "picnic." Really we just brought his highchair to the patio, but he enjoyed it nonetheless. He had a good time drinking out of his leprechaun cup from MawMaw and somehow got himself soaking wet during his lunch. Good thing it was sunny and warm so he dried quickly!

This weekend we went over to Jetton Park where we will be having Owen's birthday party in 4 weeks (how is that possible???). We scoped out the deck where the party will be and got some ideas for decorations then played on the playground for a little while.

Daddy took a turn on the slide to show Owen how to do it!

I love this picture of Owen. He looks so big, plus he has on an awesome romper that says, "Bayside Bulldogs 1987." He was having a fantastic time banging on the slide like a drum.

After all our playing outside and having sunblock slathered in his hair to protect his bald head, Owen was in desperate need of a bath this evening. We finally took his big boy duckie towel out of the closet since it's not too big for him anymore! Even after he had his diaper on he was standing up and cruising around with it on like a cape. He's such a funny boy.

Two things to notice in this picture: Look how beautifully blue his eyes have stayed and he now has FOUR teeth! The top two are FINALLY through! So far we've had beautiful nights of sleep since the teeth have popped. Hallelujah!

Only one month left until Owen's birthday. What an amazing year this has been, Dan and I are so lucky to have such a sweet boy. We'll try to update again soon!
