Big Boy!

Owen turned 2 last Friday and he received so many gifts. His new favorite toy/book/show is anything to do with trains. He LOVES Thomas and was so excited to open all of his Thomas trains and books and DVDs. Well, he also received Thomas underwear. Kris called me while I was at work today and informed me that Owen took the package of underwear to Kris and said "peaze" for Kris to put them on him. Who is going to deny this sweet little boy of his very Big Boy request? Not his daddy who melts at everything Owen says and does!!! So with the help of daddy I received this picture of Owen running around the house. I was promised updates as Kris is going to try to get Owen to use the potty today. Wish us luck!

Happy Father's Day!

Today is Father's Day and I am so thankful to be married to my wonderful and supportive husband. Kris is such a role model to Owen and Owen just loves his daddy to pieces. We decided to go out to dinner tonight and had a really nice time. Of course what would father's day be without amazing fathers? Below are Owen and Papa and Owen and Grampy.

Thanks for being great dad's and also for being great grandpa's to Owen. Kris, Owen and myself are extremely blessed to have such loving and giving fathers in our lives.

Owen is one lucky little boy and Kris and I are equally lucky to have such wonderful family!

Love to you all and thanks for everything!!

Happy 2nd Birthday Owen!

Our sweet little boy turned two today and was given this bike as his main present. He was thrilled! Too bad it is raining out so we can't take him out on the driveway to play on it!

Owen being daddy's little helper!

We had quite the adventure on our way home from camping on Sunday afternoon. We were about a mile from home when Kris' truck decided to quit working. There was no time to even get to the side of the road, so here we are in the middle of M-36 stalled. It would be semi-okay if it was just the truck but it was the truck and the camper. So all in all, probably about 50 feet in length of truck and camper taking up a huge part of the road. I had to walk Owen home to get a scan tool for Kris, but in the meantime I called my parents who thankfully were home and were able to meet Kris on the road and tow him home. It was a little crazy and Kris was not all that thrilled since Diesel engines are not supposed to have ANY problems. So over the last 4 days Kris has been working on his truck in the driveway when he has had time. Today Owen decided to help him work on his truck (actually he just likes going on a ride!)

Decorative chair

I bought this cute little decorative chair the other day and Owen seems to think that it is just for him. He is way to big for this little chair, thus you can't really see it in the picture at all.......he doesn't realize that it is NOT for him and thinks that it is pretty cool!

Photo Shoot 2009

Part of my mother's day gift was a photo session that a friend of a friend was offering. The following are just a few of my favorite pictures from our 3o minute mini session.

Memorial Day 2009 Frankenmuth MI

We went to Frankenmuth for Memorial Day this year with our new fifth wheel camper and stayed at Camp Jellystone. It was the first time we have taken a trip with just the three of us and boy did we have a BLAST!!! Here are Kris and Owen in the pool at the campground! Owen really loves the water. Kris and Owen in downtown Frankenmuth making candy from a candy machine. This kept Owen busy in his stroller for at least an hour if not longer, so Kris and I were able to enjoy the sights of downtown without any fits.

Here is the only picture of all of us from the weekend. It turned out pretty well and is a nice reminder of our trip.

Kris and Owen in front of the fountain. Notice Owen is holding on to his daddy for dear life.

When we arrived at the campground there was a little boy in the next camper over who brought not one but two outdoor riding toys. We felt like terrible parents since we didn't have ANYTHING for Owen to play with outside. WE had to run to Meijer and get this little riding toy for Owen. He was soooo happy! Here is Kris and Owen playing in the street near our campsite.

Owen having tubby time in the camper! He LOVES bath time!

Kris taking out the trash and being silly!

All in all it was a super fun family filled weekend. We are looking forward to taking many more short trips this summer and fall so will post pictures from those outings as well!!!
