Owen's overdue 4 month old pics

Life has been busy as usual.  It seems like everyone we know has had a birthday in June or July.  Fun times, but no rest for the weary.  We finally stopped long enough to snap a few pics of Owen.  He's talking up a storm, drools at least a gallon a day, loves to roll over, and has accomplished the foot in mouth trick to such a degree that he poked himself in the eye this morning with his big toe - ha! Thankfully he still enjoys the swing and thinks he's big stuff in the exersaucer, especially when he sees Mattie sniffing around.  He's our cuddle bug, no doubt about it.  Enjoy!

 Good start to this session as you can see...

 Mr. Personality trying to get his two cents in!

 I know, I know I look like a chunk in this one.

 Working on my squats already.

 What, you want me to sit up?

 So Handsome.

 Please parentals, I need a rest.

 No caption needed:)

 If my abdominal strength is anywhere close to my leg strength, I'll be sitting up by next week people:).

Later, bye! 

Mother's Day and 3 months Old

A few pics with my guys for Mother's Day.  It was pretty low key and just what I wanted.  Then we finally took Owen's 3 month pictures.  We went for his check-up today and he's 14lbs 14oz, 26 1/2 inches long and measuring at the 63rd percentile.  At this rate by his 4 month check-up he'll easily surpass his Aunt Christen's weight of 16lbs at 1 year.  Ha!  Enjoy the pics of our little fellas.

 Even though I look like I have gas, I'm really excited b/c my shirt says, I love Mommy!!

Cheese!! I almost have a full set of teeth!

 What exactly are you trying to do here, people?!

 Oh, you want me to smile.. Okay!

 I'm starting my workout now, starting w/ shoulder shrugs.

 And now, frontal arm extensions, just had a bath, so I'm feeling good:)

 Hi-yah!  Full out karate chop, not holding nothin' back!

 Here's my sweet smile.

 Seriously, Mom and Dad, y'all wore me out.  Later, bye!

2 month old personality

We've gotten some good pictures of Owen showing off his personality. Tell me what you think....

Humility: Some early praise and worship practice...

Embarrassment: One week old and learning about diapers...

Independence: Telling mom... "Just five more minutes."

Fun with Blocks

Ethan enjoys his lego's. We've come a long way from dumping them out and just rolling around in them.... although that still happens. He actually builds "the big tower" now. And then he destroys it of course. But after all, he is a little boy. Destruction is in his nature.... He's so funny.... While he's is building it he will get stuck on saying over and over... "We're building the BIG tower... buildin the big towerrrrrr." Here are some towers.

Blog Blitz

As you may imagine, Carrie and I have been kinda busy over the past few months (let's be honest... years) and have not been consistent with our posting to this blog. We figured that at the very least we could catch up some by posting pictures. So here goes.....


Just looking through pictures now, it is daunting to decide how to split them up and post them. Here are just a couple pictures of the boys to get us started...
