Owen's 2nd Birthday

5/28/12

It's so hard to believe Owen is two!  We had a wonderful day staring out at ER's Memorial Day parade.  Owen loved seeing all the GI Joe and the fire trucks.  After the parade we had a back yard BBQ to celebrate Owen's birthday.  We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends.  Owen had a blast playing with his buddy Noah and Chloe.  Owen was so tired from the excitement and missing his nap he was asleep by 6!  Here are a few highlights from the day.

Owen's Birthday invite.  It was inspired from Pinterest and created by one of Erik's students.

Owen's Birthday was Sesame Street inspired.  Character balloons were inspired from Pinterest.  

My mom did a great job with Owen's Cookie Monster cake.

Pool Day & Big Boy Moments

5/20/12

It was so warm today we got Owen's pool out.  He was in and out of it and really like pushing his boat and jet ski around in the water.  He had a small tantrum when he tried to drive his quad into the pool and we stopped him.  We also went down to the old athletic field to watch Uncle Zachy play slow pitch softball.  Owen liked watching baseball and yelling "go Unke."

Owen is starting to be such a big boy.  We have transitioned him into his big boy bed.  He has started wearing his big boy undies around the house (although we had a smelly accident today and Ka-chow was NOT happy!), and he is starting to use the potty. We are hoping to potty train O completely by the end of summer.  We will see how it goes. :)

Bonfire

On Saturday night we went down to my parents house for a bonfire and to roast hot dogs.  Owen loved playing in the back yard and setting off the lantern.
