Our Weekend

Not that much going on here, we ran some errands Saturday and had a sick day on Sunday. The kids were all stuffy and gunky then Owen threw up this morning. Honestly, I think it was because there was something on his tongue, but I wasn't 100% sure so we made like hermits and stayed in all day.

Saturday we went to the bike shop and bought me a bike. We have been talking about it for years, I guess the good weather inspired us to follow through. :) I've already ridden a few times, I love feeling the wind in my face.

On a side note, there were little children bikes at the store, the two wheelers with training wheels. I'm so proud, our little Owen rise them all over the store. I really thought that those were to "big boy" for my two year old but surprise surprise he did it and loved it. He keeps asking "Owen bike too?". Maybe for Christmas.

Owen and Daddy were sharing apples in the fort in Owen's room.

Charly, is always content to watch what her big brother is up to.
I let her suck on an apple slice. she loved it!

Charly's 4 month check up

Actually she is 4 1/2 months, still, the time has flown by. Charly is in perfect health and is growing big so quickly. She is now 26.25 inches long and about 18 lbs. She is happy despite the teeth that refuse to break through. She loves to watch Owen play and wants his toys even though she doesn't know what to do with them when she gets them. She loves to giggle and smile, to snuggle and cuddle. Charly is the sweetest.

The Big Sale!

Twice a year is the consignment sales!!! I went this evening to the All 4 Kids consignment sale. I got some amazing deals. :) Including Owens entire winter wardrobe. :) I love getting the best deals!

Ok, so pictures were requested so....

For some reason I could not get this picture to go horizontal. Weird. But here are some of the clothes I bought Charly. The pictures do not do them justice.

This is my favorite shirt for Charly.

I only spent $56 for 7 pairs of pants, 11 tops, 2 pj's 1 jacket,
1 dress and 1 one piece outfit. Most of them are Gap,
Gymboree and Children's Place brands.

Toys for the kiddos. The Leap pad is brand new. $32 spend including books.

Some outfits for Owen. There were not a lot of jeans to chose from, but I like what I found. As he gets bigger his clothing is getting more expensive, even at the sale. I'm glad there is a place where I can buy his clothes from $1-5 a piece.

Owen is really excited for all the shirts with diggers on them.

As long as it fists, Owen will be Clifford for Halloween. And this is his new church clothes for when it gets cool out side. I got him some church shoes too.

I am looking for a Mr. Incredible costume size 4-6 if anyone has one please let me know.

Icky!

Today we had a great day. We went to a new play group with our neighbors and then to lunch. Owen had a great appetite.

I finished the Breaking Dawn book. Loved it!!!! I can't say anything about it though because so many have not finished it yet. I don't want to spoil the fun.

2 icky things happened today that were really really icky..
First, Owen had the grossest diaper ever. So gross I had to undress him outside and hose him off. Nasty.
Second, I killed a HUGE spider in my house. It had just crept into the house and was hiding next to the door frame. The only problem was he was HUGE and brown hiding on white trim. I took a good swing with my flip flop and launched him on to the back patio where I chased him and finished the job. Hurray Super Mom! I tried looking for a picture of the wolf spider (that is what it was) for dramatic effect but I was getting that crawly feeling so I skipped the picture. I hate spiders!!! I admit I did the whole thing while squealing in a high pitched sound, not so super-mommyish. It alarmed Owen, he came running, "you ok? you ok?" :) I'm so spraying bug kill tomorrow.

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.
