Owen is 4 months old!

Today our little man is 4 months old!!! He has really changed in 4 months, he has the sweetest personality. He is happy most of the time, unless he is hungry!
We have really enjoyed having him these last 4 months. He has been such a joy to our family.
We love you O.T.(Ella's nickname for him)this may stick forever????? She has everyone calling him this. HA!

Owen's first White Christmas

It actually snowed this year for Christmas!!!! Owen's 1st :)
I didn't get any pics of the kids in the snow :(
Ella went outside to look at the snow, it was too cold to play.

Christmas Eve 2009

Thursday evening we had my family Christmas. It's always been tradition with my family to open gifts on Christmas Eve, this was when my grandparents were alive. We have continued to do this with my parents. Ella and Owen got so many neat toys and so, so many clothes. Ella got her "baby" bow and "baby" necklace she asked Santa for. She was VERY happy. We have been very blessed!!! Thank you all of ALL of our gifts!

My dad had a pretty bad fall the week before Christmas and broke his nose, lost ALOT of blood due to blood thinners and being stubborn, on top of all of that he was having some heart issues. He was admitted into the hospital on 12/19/09 and discharged on 12/24/09. He's not in the pics, because he looked pretty beat up, he was there...very weak and sore. :(

Christmas with cousins

Thursday morning we had Christmas with my brothers girls. Ella got a Play-Doh ice cream maker and Owen got a spin toy. The girls always have so much fun together.

These BOOTS are made for walking...

Ella has Uncle's(my brother)boots on. She loves to put other peoples shoes on! HA! :)

playdate

Ella and I went to a playdate this morning. While Owen stayed home with Daddy, it's just to cold to get him out. These are the only pictures I managed to take. There were about 10-15 moms and 20+ kids. Ella had a blast!! I had a good time talking with all the moms and eating good food. I hope we continue to do this each month. :)

*If you look real close... Ella's shirt says "My brother is the Naughty one" this is so her!!

1st & 3rd Christmas

This is Ella's 3rd Christmas and Owen's 1st. I started buying these ornaments for Ella her first Christmas and could not find any others I liked for Owen....so they have the same ornaments. I wrote their names on the back and saved the boxes and wrote their name on it too. If they want they can have them for their own tree some day or give them to their own children.
