A Busy Day

Yesterday we had the car so we were out and about having fun. We started the morning out with some friends- Lori, Karla and her son Taylor- we went to Babies R Us to get Lori registered. She is due this December! Preparing for baby is always fun. Then we all went out to lunch at Chillies. Owen had skipped all naps up til now and was doing the tried stare. As soon as we got into the car he fell asleep. I tried to continue the nap at home but Owen refused. So I gave up and we went to the park for swinging! We met our friends Amber and Adalin there. It was a blast, Owen loves to swing! And as always we left time for exploring the living room. All before 5 o'clock. Not bad.

As cute as can be and yes, still bald.

He really get around now and loves to expolre!

Milestones Met

The past few days have been very eventful for Owen. He has started crawling, pulling up in is crib, his bottom right tooth broke through and he has mastered the art of plucking the pacifier from moms mouth with his own mouth. I hold on to the handle with my teeth and he will bite down on the other side and take it from me. It's a fun game that requires expert body control to prevent head-butting. :) It is so cute to see Owen crawl, he moves like an inch worm in high speed. Pulling up on the rails in the crib not only surprised me but scared me too. He pulls him self up so high; I had no idea that he was that strong. The following is Owen's "Easy as 1-2-3" step program to getting your mom to lowering your mattress to the lowest position. Results guaranteed with in 24 hours.

Step 1: Hang on to the rails looking really cute.

Step 2: Continue to look cute while holding on to the top rail with both hands.

Step 3: Pull yourself up over the top rail while worrying your mom and proving to her and yourself that you could escape if you really wanted to.
Tip: Give mom the "I Love You" smile to avoid getting in any trouble.

We are now accepting donations for the newly opened
"Broken Bones and Sprained Body Parts Fund".
It seems like a good idea for parents with a dare devil on their hands.

Ni-Night Time

Hangin' out with dad makes Owen so happy. Today when Garett got home I asked "where is Daddy?" and he looked around for him (this is a first). So I kept asking and he kept looking until Daddy walked through the door! Owen got excited, as he normaly does, kicking his legs and squirming around until he was in Daddy's arms! It's so cute.

This is Owen holding Mommy until she fell asleep.
He got up every thirty minutes for three hours just to check on her, what a good son.

Naomi and Ezra

Owen's friends came over to play last night. They had a great time.

Owen and Naomi playing on the floor.
I had to pry her out of his arms because he was holding her so tight.
It was so darn cute.

Ezra found a great hiding place right next to the crock pots.
I really need to child proof my house.

Holding hands. How sweet! They are just a few months apart.

South Carolina

Hey everyone! Mom and Tim are now checking out Greenville SC to see if it will be there new home. We hope you get a clear Yes or No feeling about the place. Love you both!

I'm back and blogging

It's been about a week and a half since I wrote last and so much has happened. The Thursday before last we took off to Mississippi for the funeral of Grandma Jane. Thursday night was the viewing, which was lovely, and Friday morning we the funeral. At the funeral there were so many people I had never met before but had heard many stories of. It was nice to meet everyone. The funeral was held in a beautiful white church, the kind you see in the movies. The service was beautiful and thoughtful.
While in Mississippi my Great Grandma Turner passed away so on Sunday we took off to Blackshear GA. Along the way we met up with my sister Wendy and traveled together the rest of the way. Monday was the viewing and once again we saw tons of people I had no idea I was related to. They were all very interesting, lots of family stories that I had never heard before.

I think this picture is so funny, Owen just spit up and both Grandpa and Keaton are looking at him like "Gross!". Jaeleigh is totally oblivious to what just happend and is striking a great pose.

I just had to include this picture of Grandma Floyce because she is just so beautiful.

Summer, if you read this, please email or burn me a CD of pictures you took, I didn't get enough and I missed pictures of you, Wayne and Gena. Thanks!

Here is Lindsay, Nate and Tim at the farm. Everyone came.

This is Christi and Skot chatting with Uncle Robbie on the front porch.


Taylor at the funeral home, she is so pretty.


Grandma Campbell and Wendy

For the first time in 3 years we are all together. True it was not even for an hour, but it still counts. :) Wendy is now 6 months pregnant and is having a girl!

Just an update

So much has happened since the last entry....

Garett is now in school. Yes! The last semester!
He is taking three classes and so far likes them just fine.What is it with computers? I can't keep the Trent boys away from them.
Here Owen is "helping" Dad with some research.

Owen is talking up a storm, mainly with anything that starts with the letter "B". And he finally calls for me! I just wish he would call me mom or ma or mommy, but no, he calls me ABOO. I guess it's better than nothing.

Hey mom, I've got the keys, lets go already!

On a sad note, Garett's grandma Jane passed away yesterday morning.
She will be missed very much.
