Well every single one of my posts are about Owen now. Which seems reasonable since he takes up most of my time anyhow. I do have one bit of news. I finally got a job. I am working for a Marketing company in Salt Lake and I really like it. That is at least some good news which I have been needing badly. Owen is just as cute as ever. He is still not walking although he totally could. He just won't do it by himself. He just pulls himself up on everything he can. He talks sooo much and his favorite thing to say is ofcourse Batman. He loves to read books and loves to listen to music too. He has been so much fun lately. I love this age.

One of his favorite toys he got for his birthday. Thanks Grandma.

My baby is 1!!!

My baby boy Owen is one today. I can hardly believe that one whole year has gone by. We had a little party for him yesterday at the park and it was a lot of fun. I made him a little cupcake birthday cake and he got a lot of fun gifts from his friends. He LOVES to drum on things so we got him a little drum to play with, but he ended up drumming on everything else first.

So I am allowed to eat this?

Mmmm it is pretty good.

I don't know about this.

Just thinking about how much fun he is having and reminiscing about his life so far.

Uncle Dusty was just helping out, he had a little something on his head.

All the kids playing with Owen's gifts after the park.

Jos thought he was Mr. Potato Head.

Shadow was wiped out after playing with all those kids.






I really can't believe that my little boy is one. He has been the best baby and I love him so much. I can't tell you how many people stop us when we are out to say how cute he is. They think he looks like the little Gerber baby. He is happy all the time and I love his little personality. He could play in water for hours and hours and not get bored. He loves music and dances anytime he hears it. He says Momma and Dadda and he even said Shadow once or twice. I love watching him play and you can just see him thinking about things. I love him to death and can't wait for the many more birthday's with him. I love you Owen!

New!!!!!

Ok, so I know it has been a while since I have posted but it has been a crazy couple of weeks. So hold on to your hats everyone, here is a lot of pictures for you to google at.

Top Left: Owen and Shadow on a beautiful morning out in the backyard while I do some gardening. Our garden is awesome!! I have never grown anything and we have been able to eat Zuchinni and Tomatoes like kings for the past couple of days. And we have a TON of pumpkins to carve for Halloween this year. It has been a hard but fun project. I will take some pictures for you all to see. Middle: Owen just crawling around eating, what he does best. Left: Owen looks sooooo old in this one. Crazy!

I had a baby shower for my really good friend Shannon and I made this cake. It is a pregnant woman if you couldn't tell. Top Left: Shawn showing off the cake. Middle: The woman of the hour, Shannon with the cake. I also made her some diaper babies which were pretty awesome, I don't think I got a picture of them though. Left: A close up of the cake.

During the shower, Owen's favorite thing was getting into the wrappings. He was the hit of the party. I love that I can take him anywhere with me and he will be a little angel.

I put my beanie on him to see how cute it would be, and it was pretty stinking cute.

Young Family Reunion 2009: The Young Family never ceases to amaze me. I love the competition side with the horseshoes (which me and my dad took first place in), and the sentimental side talking about the family and our love for oneanother. I look forward to those reunion's every time and I love them so much.

We got to go to the Zoo again and it was a lot of fun. It was a hot day, but we still had a great time. Also we got to spend a lot of time at my Uncle Alan and Aunt Mary's house. Eeating great food and talking to the family was something that I love to do and look forward to every time.

All the kids were sooo cute and the cousins got along and played well together. Of course there were a few accidents and especially with the
Sweetnam clan. I swear those kids are prone to accidents. No major ones this year, but had some bumps and bruises on the way. I love those kids, they always make me laugh and make me love them more and more everytime I get to see them.

Owen and my birthday's are coming up in the next couple of weeks so I will post about those.

Owen is a nerd!

It is true. He is a nerd. And here are a few pictures to prove it.



Not really nerdy in this one, but cute still. I promise there will be some nerdy pictures.


Just being a nerd and reading a book.

"oh, were you looking at me?"

He likes to hold onto Shawn's shirt when he is playing video games ... Nerd.

Do I even need to say it in this one?

hee hee ... NERD!!!

Oh I am sorry, your not that nerdy.

Ahhhhhhhhhh

He is pretty cute and nerdy but I love him to death.

May

Well it seems that I only get on here about once a month so here is my monthly dose of Owen pictures. I have been busy training for the MS bike tour which is coming up at the end of June. I am getting super excited for it and for our Young Family Reunion right after that. So we have a lot to look forward to. Owen is getting his first teeth so he has been a bit cranky lately but is still such a good boy. He just loves to be held by mommy which I love and hate at the same time. I am sure you other mothers out there can understand that. Well enjoy the few pictures of our sweet little boy.


He wasn't really into taking pictures right then if you couldn't tell.


Not sure what he is scowling at but it is pretty funny. Maybe it is because Dad is giving Shadow kisses and not him.

My favorite boys!

"ok Mom, are we done yet?"

Awww, what a cute little puppy.

Owen laughing

I finally figured out how to put the video's from our camera on here. So here is a little video of Owen this morning laughing with Dad.

Well, Owen turned 8 months old this month and I can't believe it. He is growing up so fast. Here are a few pictures of the little monster.

I love that he is feeding himself his bottle.

A few things that I love about my son: He goes to sleep soooo easily. I put him down and he does the rest. I love when friends are over when it is his bedtime and I go to put Owen down and come out in 30 seconds. They always say, "That's it?". It is one of my favorite things. He then will sleep through us playing games like RockBand, with the singing and all. He is a pretty good sleeper, although lately he has been taking only two half hour naps during the day and I am not so fond of that one. Hopefully it is a phase.

I also love how he is not crawling yet. He will flop onto his stomach but won't get far at all. I am totally ok with waiting for the mobile phase. Another thing I love is how much he talks ... well babbles I guess. He is very vocal and his laugh could melt me. He has been so much fun lately and I couldn't love him any more.

Art Project

So Shawn and I spent about 8 hours cleaning our kitchen on Saturday. We did a real "spring cleaning" if you will and it looked super white when we were finished. It needed something. So we came up with this art project to do. These windows had some terrible lace curtains on them before with these white pull-down shades. We decided we would put some of our art on them to spruce them up a bit. Shawn drew the trees and birds with a pencil and then we both took one to paint, and here is the outcome. It was a lot of fun to do and I think it turned out pretty good. Enjoy!


This one is the one that I painted.


This is Shawn's.

And here they are together up in the window's.
