Owen Bear turns 4!

 Our little Owen Bear has turned 4!!!

He is such a joy to our family. 

We all love him so much.

He has an incredible vocabulary and picks up a new phrase to try out every few days.  Lately, it's been Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Best buds forever,  or I'm keeping my eye on you! 

He loves to give hugs and kiss your hand with his cold lips if you walk somewhere with him and tells me he loves me hourly. 

He is as loving as he is rough. He enjoys doing his "strengths", which are push-up. He can do several in a row.  He loves to wrestle James or Barry and gives them a run for their  money.

He loves to snuggle and will fall asleep each night holding my hand. 

We couldn't love you more Owen Bear. I am excited to watch you grow. 

Ellie made Owen's birthday cake all herself and the kids went to the store with him and bought him dozens of presents. He was very spoiled on his birthday. 

We started the day with birthday doughnuts for breakfast.

Noodles for lunch

and Corn on the cob and cake for dinner. We were going to have pizza, but I wan't feeling up to it, we made it the next day instead. He loved it all. 

Ellie gave him dinosaur eggs that hatch in water. He has hatched one out, it was fun to watch his excitement over a couple days as the dinosaur slowly emerged. 

James bought Owent his favorite movie Abominable. 

I must say Owen's favorite present was this crazy stuffed dinosaur James got him that roars and dances??? Owen just LOVES it. 

Card from Grandpa Griffin! 

Owen got an awesome hotwheels race track loop set.  He has already spent many hours playing with it. 

Blowing out the candle and eating cake. 

Love you Owen!
