All About Babies

So many of my friends are recent first time moms. Congratulations!
My sister sent me this, I thought it was good for first time moms and dads. Sorry if this offends you, but I'm still laughing.

Owey's Prayer

Owen has been offering prayers at meals and at bed time. He will repeat nearly everything we tell him to say but now he is feeling more confident and is venturing out to say what on his mind. I love this phase of life.
Two of the four prayers..... (He just kept breaking out in prayer.)

Hnly Fauder. Cereal. Amen.
(Heavenly Father. Cereal. Amen)

And

Hnly Fauder. Dank ooh. Amen.
(Heavenly Father. Thank you. Amen.

I've smiled every time I thought of breakfast this morning. :)

Trying Something New

Today we met up with a local Rocketing group (SOAR) and launched our rocket that we build last week. We built it well enough to go up fast and straight and to land near by. :) We let Daddy do all the dangerous parts, which was all of it so we just hung back and watched. There were all kinds of rockets big and small. It was fun to watch them go.

The first recovery.

Our neighbor Steve brought his 3 boys to watch.

Our second launch on pad #2. Good shot Garett!

Me and Charly. Hot Hot Hot! The temperature that is .

George helping Owen with his very first rocket launch ever.

Owen at the controls.
(That's a big deal-very nice of them to let him push the big red button.)

This is Owen's first launch (refusing to count) you can't see, but the rocket goes up and flies right behind every one so George rushes off to make sure all is well.

Dad letting Charly get some air.

I don't think you can see it well in this picture, but that is a really dang big rocket. It made the most noise and of course it was a lot of fun to watch shoot through the sky.

The 4 Month Mark

Charly passed the 4 month mark on the 24th! Hurray! She continues to grow longer and heavier by the day. She is rolling over and inch-worming across the floor. She coo's and giggles easily and frequently- that's a lot of fun. :) Teeth are trying to break through, which involves lots of drool and gnawing. Her tear duct is still clogged, I wonder how long her pediatrician will want to let that go before we do anything about it.

Her hair is so wild!

Owen loves to pretend to do her hair. He will put every clippy we own in her hair.
Ofcourse that only happens when Daddy is at work. :)

Back Online!!!

After a few days of not having the internet I am thrilled to be blogging and looking for your updates. :) Since the last post we have spent our time like most days, playing inside, playing outside, playing with our friends. Saturday was an especially fun day for our family. We went to Hobby Town for a promotion of the new movie Fly Me To The Moon. We made our own real rocket and went an saw the movie at the theater around the corner from there. The rocket is cool, we plan on letting it fly on Saturday, I think. The movie was okay. What was very cool about it is that it is in 3D, you have to wear the glasses and all but it was really neat. I did stay motion sick most of the time, even so, it was still neat.

Sunday I taught Relief Society for the first time as a official teacher.
I think it went well, there was lots of participation.

Today we went to Chucky Cheese with our neighbors. It's so much fun doing stuff with them. Owen really enjoys having friends his age, they all play well together and alone so it works out great.

Here are some pics...

Owen trying out his new shark pool.

Playing outside.

Charly playing outside. This was the best picture I had of her from that day. Her expressions quickly changed from content to really ticked off. Oh well.

Owen working on his special project for his Daddy.

Excellent sign of a good day. Food on the face, a favorite
pair of glasses upsidedown and a nap in the back seat.

Owen's picture taking skills. We have about 100 pictures
of the celing, floor, our feet and arms.

We made it in to a shot!

Owen's new favorite movie. See the joy on his face? :)
We have watched this movie every day and sometimes twice a day.

Cheese!

Watch out! Ava's on the loose!

A Special Treat

Tonight we were blessed with a VERY RARE but SPECIAL treat. We had both Wayne and Billy visit. Wayne is Garett's younger brother and Billy has been Garett's best friend since they were 12, that was a while ago. :) Wayne was in town for business and was able to break away to come see us. Billy has been here for 3 weeks and is moving to Orlando on Sunday. I wish we all lived closer. It was so much fun watching the boys be boys. Wayne is a great story teller and kept us rolling in laughter for hours.

Wayne with his neice Charly.
