Owen... really growin'!

Little Owen is 11 months old. I want to cry. Everybody tells me that time goes faster the older you get. If that is the case, I am really bummed out because time is already flying. Just look at my baby! He is almost a year old. And I was thinking the other day that Christian will be in Kindergarten in a year and a half. **sigh** What happened to the days when I thought thirty was old??

Splish Splash!

I loved when Christian was little because he would sit in the bath for literally hours and I would give myself pedicures, read a book, and have plenty of time to get ready. NOW, all Christian wants to do is complain about wanting to get out of the bath, and Owen just wants to stand up and scare me. I spend the entire time making him sit back down so that he doesn't fall. Lets just say, there are SO many ways that my kids are different from each other. But they are both so sweet and cute. It will be interesting to see what other things they differ in!

Happy New Year!

I can't believe that another year has flown by. I am seriously in shock thinking about Christian being 4 and Owen turning 1. Our Holiday Season was so much fun, It has been great to have my parents here. Here are some pictures form November and December. I haven't loaded Christmas day yet... go figure!



Thanksgiving was so much fun. Kathy invited us to her house again, but we got there too late and missed the yearly turkey picture. Either that or Owen was hungrier than I thought!



We decorated our new "Family Tree." Owen would not stay out of the darn thing all month. I am so glad it is down now. He really thought the glitter ornaments tasted yummy! Christian hung all of the ornaments in the exact same place. He was so funny! I kept moving them to different spots then gave up and let him do what he wanted.



I have never made sugar cookies with the kids, and I thought it would be fun. We actually did this twice, but I still haven't found the perfect recipe. I want something that stays soft and tastes buttery. Any suggestions?? I hope aunt Rebecca is wrong about the red dye thing because Christian was eating red sprinkles by the spoonful. Yuck!

Jason was in charge of taking pictures of gingerbread house making, I ended up with ZERO pictures of actual people. So Marge... do you have any good pictures? I will trade you for some of everybody's hands.

This is the best picture I got of the boys all dressed up for our Christmas Eve dinner. Christian is turning into such a ham and Owen always blinks. Oh well!
Thank you to all of our friends and family for making our season so wonderful. Thanks for the help with my parents, the cards, and calls. We love all of you!
