Owen in a big boy bed!

Owen is at grammy's today and I just received this picture from her of him in a BIG BOY BED!!!! I can't believe that he is just laying there and not trying to move. Looks like we may be transforming his crib this weekend so that he can have a big boy bed at home too! Time sure does fly by.... way too quickly!!

One more!

I absolutely love this picture of Kris and Owen walking on the beach. It is going to be blown up and put in a nice frame!

Myrtle Beach March 2009

We enjoyed our trip to Myrtle Beach so much! We had so much fun with Owen in the pool and just hanging out for the week, away from reality (I was still working so I wasn't 100% away from reality, however I certainly enjoyed our evenings together.) Here are a couple of pictures from our trip that I feel captured the great time that we all had. Enjoy!

Kris with Owen making a car at RideMakerz. Owen loves picking out his car and putting it together. It is so fun to watch Owen and Kris around cars. It is Kris' passion and Owen loves cars and trucks.



Me and Owen in the Ripley's Aquarium at Broadway at the Beach, Myrtle Beach! Owen liked the moving floor more then all of the amazing sea life surrounding us- well I guess he isn't quite two yet! Maybe next time!

Kris and Owen in one of the many pools at our hotel. Owen really took to the water well- but especially loved being held by his daddy and scoping out the pool together.

Our family at a restaurant in Murrill's Inlet, Myrtle Beach. The food was so good- I could eat there every night of the week!

Our family photo on the Atlantic ocean. Our hotel was right on the ocean and the view behind us was what we woke up to every morning. Amazing! Kris bought a "boogie board" the first day we got there thinking he was going to use it! It was a little chilly to swim in the ocean but it will be a good memory to a great trip!

Trip to Myrtle Beach and Leesville, SC

Owen in the car, being sly as usual! This is me and Owen picking up daddy and papa from the golf course.

This is Owen eating a hush puppie at a restaurant in Murrell's Inlet, Myrtle Beach. I don't remember eating hush puppies in the past- but boy these were YUMMY!!!!

Owen looking at the Atlantic ocean from our hotel room. We had a two bedroom condo that was on the ocean! It was gorgeous!

Owen and daddy at Broadway at the Beach right outside the Ripley's Aquarium. While at the shopping center we went to the Aquarium and let Owen build a car at Ridemakeriz! He had so much fun and was such a good little boy the whole time!

We made it! We didn't know how Owen would do in the car for 15 hours, but he was a trooper and did a great job for the most part. We split up our trip into 2 days getting there and we drove straight through on the way home. Needless to say, we are going to be staying in for a few days so that he doesn't feel like an enemy in his own car seat. We had tons of fun and really needed a break from reality! Owen loved the beach and went in the ocean with Kris a couple of times when the weather was nice. We enjoyed good food the whole trip except all the fast food on the way down and back to Michigan. I don't think Owen will eat chicken nuggets for about a month or longer! Here are just a couple pictures I took on my cell phone while we were on vacation. I will post more later from the real camera.

Owen posing again!

Here is Owen posing for me again- every time I get out my camera he looks at me, smiles and then says "cheese" like a good little boy! I realize that he looks a little possessed but I think he still looks cute.

Where's Owen?

Owen is quite the little sneaky boy lately. He loves hiding and finds great pleasure when I can't find him. Look at his little feet sticking out of the bottom of the drapes. Too cute!

Owen likes his snacks!

Owen likes his snacks and he also likes to run around the house naked- so in this picture I was able to capture the best of both worlds in the eyes of an almost two year old.
