Happy 18 months Jake!

 

Jake was 18 months on October 11.  He is such an active little guy these days.  He is talking more everyday and trying to repeat everything we say, it's pretty cute!  He loves to wrestle with his big brothers and I must say he holds his own :-)  We call Jake our fiesty boy....he sure is opinionated and likes to let you know what he wants and when he wants it!!!

 

He is a sweetheart and loves to give kisses on command which this mommy eats up!  It won't be long now until he is a BIG brother, which is hard to believe, but I am sure he will adore his little sister!!!

 

We love you Jake Alton!!!

Boys will be boys :-)

 

These boys love to wrestle and Jake is really into it!

 

Oh man, they are rough at times

 

Owen wasn't really into it....he was more interested in "Buddy Bear" from preschool

Owen's birthday bash

We celebrated Owen's 3rd birthday Monday night 9-24-12 at Cypress Park....it's a favorite park of ours since there are trails all around perfect for riding bikes.  Our good friends and family came to celebrate his big day, he felt very special and loved! 

 

Our friend Stephanie made another awesome creation....a race car cake, perfect for him!

 

We started singing happy birthday.....

 

and he got really shy and wasn't so sure about everyone singing and looking at him

 

But then he had some chocolate cake :-)

 

Our dear friend Dayna hanging with the birthday boy

 

I love this one below...all the guys eating cake and ice cream :-)

 

Look at the pure excitement when opening presents, priceless!

 

 

Me with my best friends and momma and nana :-)  Love these women....they are so special in our lives.

 

 

Jake got a hold of this bike and was off :-)

 

Some of the friends riding bikes.....they discovered the tennis court

 

Me trying to get Owen to look at the camera and tickling him with no success!

 

Brothers saying "BIRTHDAY"

 

Owen, we hope you had a wonderful 3rd birthday, you are such a special little boy!  On the way home, Owen sang happy birthday to me, and was thanking everyone for all his presents :-)

Happy 3rd birthday Owen!

Owen is 3 today!!!!!!!  I can't believe it.......he's getting to be such a big boy!  We started the day with homemade french toast from daddy :-) which was a big hit!  We headed to church and then home for naps.  We ended the night with
pizza:-)  Owen got a garbage truck from mommy and daddy, he loves it!

 

We love you so much Owen Anthony.  You bring your family so much joy.  Your laugh is contagious and your smile is infectious.  Your preschool teacher said you are kind, obedient, fun and so sweet......I would have to agree with her (well sometimes we have to work on the obedient part :-) Happy 3rd birthday Owen!!!

 

Looking forward to your birthday party tomorrow night!!!!



Funny things from Owen and Emery

I have to document some things Emery and Owen have been saying lately so I can look back one day and remember how they were at this age.

EMERY:

Jason was watching a football game with the boys last night while I was at work and Emery saw a player's jersey with the number 44 on it, so Jason asks him "what number is that Emery?" and he says 44 daddy.  So another player comes along and the jersey says 22 and so Jason asks him again what number is on there and Emery replies "tooty two", HA! 

Emery heard Jason call me a pregant lady one time so now every time Emery wants to be funny he will refer to me as the pregnant lady.  Saying goodbye to me at work, he waves "see you later pregnant lady, I love you".

Another lesson in remembering your kids are little sponges and repeat everything you say.....Emery was saying good night on the phone with me while I was at work and he says "thanks for bringing home the bacon mommy" :-)  I laughed so hard!

OWEN:

Owen's speech has really taken off in recent months.  There are some words he pronounces in his own unique way that are funny. 
The other day he catches me getting dressed in my closet and says "you maked mommy" (translation: you are naked), and continues "I see your bum", ha!

Owen always makes comments about Jason's facial hair when he hasn't shaved on the weekend and will say "daddy, why you have pokies?" :-)

Owen loves to refer to Emery as "brother", but you have to hear him say it, I guess I will have to try to get more videos to put on here because it comes out "buther", so all day we can hear Owen saying "what you doing buther", "where are you buther", "come over here buther", "play with me buther".
