Owen Bear Turn 2!!!!!

 Yesterday we went and celebrated the end of summer by playing at the kid's favorite park for hours then getting some pizza and having lunch with Daddy.



 I have been planning a little kayaking trip with my friends for weeks, and a few days before it, I dislocated my shoulder. I was soo very sad. Fortunately, with a lot of rest, heat, ice, and Deep Blue. I was still able to go. It didn't even hurt at all!
I went out in the yard the day of and was just seeing if I could paddle without hurting my shoulder and James snapped this funny picture of me paddling among the weeds. Unfortunately, I didn't take any pictures on my little adventure because I was afraid of getting my phone wet. Had a blast though and got some tasty food afterwords. Good friends! good times!

Owen loves this collection of dinosaurs at the library. He always heads right over to them when we get there. Unfortunately, they are not the most quiet of animals. :D He plays and plays with them, and is so very very noisy. He has them growl and fight and eat each other and he is just delighted by it. The librarian hasn't told him to be quiet a single time. I personally think, she loves to watch him just as much as I do. 

 We spotted Lauren's future license plate.

 Our Owen Bear turned 2 this month!
A few things we love about Owen:

Owen is CUTE, and I mean super cute adorable.
Owen is loving, he loves to get kisses and hugs and will say sorry if he hurts you during his wildness.
Owen is soo very smart and has an incredible vocabulary. There is almost nothing he can't say.
Owen loves animals and makes the cutest animal noises. His horse noise is my favorite.
Owen has a huge imagination and loves to pretend and play games.
Owen loves to be outdoor and explore. It is his very favorite thing to do.
Owen loves his Daddy and loves to spend time with him.

I really love EVERYTHING about Owen. There is nothing I could or would change. He is the perfect little boy and we are soo very HAPPY to have him in our family.

 Trip to the local grocery store for breakfast. Owen loves doughnuts!


For Owen's birthday this year. We went up to Pinedell Scout Camp and stayed in a cabin there. It was a lot of fun.

 Owen used his birthday money from Great Grandpa Griffin to buy a giant ice cream cone. He ate the whole thing himself. (Other than a few helpful licks from myself to prevent drips ;) )

 Barry popped some popcorn just for Owen because he loves it so much.

 There was a ping pong table at the lodge. Owen and his friend liked chasing the balls around the room.

 We brought Tin Foil dinners. They were quite scrumptious.

 Th
 Then Owen got to open his Giant duck Grandpa and the kid's made for him. Owen loves Ducks and was very excited to see it. It was a challenge to bring it up the mountain without him seeing it, but he was very surprised.

 He was happy to get the airplane car that he enjoys riding at Grandmas. He rode it around and around the lodge. It was the perfect present! Thanks Grandma and Grandpa!

James is raising chickens and Owen loves to chase them around and around the yard in hopes of catching one. He never has caught one yet, but for his birthday, James caught one of the chickens and let Owen pet it. It made Owen so happy. 

This is the book Owen reads to me everynight before we go to bed. His is such a sweet little boy.
We love you Owen Bear Happy Birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
