Time to Catch Up

Ok, sorry for the lack of updates, life has been busy as usual. Last Monday (May 15th)Owen rolled over to his side for the first time! He kept rolling from his back to the left side and then to the back again. His little arm kept acting as a speed bump that prevented him from getting over to his belly. We have it on viedo, as soon as I figure out how to post it I will.

My First Mother's Day

Today is my first Mother's Day! It has been a wonderful one! Garett and Owen bought me a book that I love, it's called "You are my I love you". I reccomend it to any parent, especially those with young children. They also gave a New Mommy Survival Kit, complet with an eye mask to shut out the light for day time napping and a deck of cards that have daily suggestions for how to relax and have fun. Thanks for the wonderful gifts!

The next best part of my Mother's Day happened soon after midnight. Owen woke up as he sometimes does during the night. Garett was in the room soothing him, I walked in and Owen cried out "Mommy"! How awesome is that!?! He called me Mommy for the first time on Mother's Day. Good timing Owen. :) It is so much fun for us to watch him learn and grow, trying out new things. We are very proud of our little Owen.

I love being Owen's mother and feel so blessed to have such a happy family. It would not be so wonderful if I did not have Garett as my companion, he is a great support to me and a great Dad to Owen.

Happy Mother's Day to all of our Mom's!

Job Well Done

Great news... Garett has finished this semester and has made B's in all of his classes! Great job Garett! Only 2 semesters left!

More to come

I have many more photos to post from the trip. I will post them as soon as I have some more time.

We Survived!

We just took our first big trip with Owen. We went to Mississippi to visit family. It is about 8 hours away when driving, which is what we did. Both there and on the way back we drove throught the night to make it easier on Owen and we survived 16 hours of car travel with a baby!
On Sunday we enjoyed a wonderful cook out and great company. Wayne(Garett's brother), Summer(Wayne's wife) and the kids, Jaeleigh and Keaton arrived Saturday night then Grandma and Aunt Gina came in on Sunday. It was fun to see what Keaton and Owen have in common. Keaton is now 6 months and Owen 3 months. They both have beautiful blue eyes! And, of course, Jaeleigh has grown into a beautiful 3 year old, she is as sweet as can be and can charm candy from just about anyone.
We had a wonderful visit and were happy to show off our cutie pie.
