Thanksgiving

There is so much to be thankful for this year. First and foremost, by beautiful baby boy Owen. He is the greatest thing in my life, and I am so thankful that I get to be home with him day after day. It never gets old.
My family, My parents, the greatest examples of all time, my sisters, they are my best friends. All 5 of us are so lucky to have each other, I see them everyday just about, and thank my heavenly father for them daily.
Corey, an amazing husband and father, who does not get thanked enough! (my bad)! I love him so much, and Owen adores him!
My testimony.
My house.
My insanely awesome nieces and nephews, who really taught me how to be a mom in the first place.
Supportive Grandparents.
My ridiculous shaggy dog.
My country.
My experiences, and so much more. Thanks to everyone in my life. Love and stuff...

that laugh

A fast post today: Owen belly laughed for the first time yesterday. I couldn't believe how loud it was, and how wide his smile got. My nephew Drew was the lucky one who got it going. He was shaking his head in his face, and Owen couldn't contain himself. It was so amazing I cried. That may sound weird, but it's those "firsts" that are so special.

I recently got some pictures of my baby that I had not really seen before. They made me cry! I can't believe how small he was. He is sitting here on my lap just "gooing" at the computer screen. He thinks he can talk I swear.
Here are some pictures of the kids I am absolutely crazy about. Not all of them are pictured sadly, but to all 15 of them thanks for letting me be such a part of their lives. They were all so excited to meet baby the day he was born, and they still dote over him every chance they get. I am so glad my boy has such good cousins to look up too.

How lucky?

This is what I get to wake up to every morning. How lucky am I? That's all I have to say!

Halloween Pic's!!

Halloween

Halloween was a lot of fun this year. We had our annual family party and all of us dressed up. Everyone was way funny, as usual! Corey and I were Sarah Palin and John McCain. Owen was a baby bear, and of course Wrigley...was super man (or dog)! During Halloween day Owen wore this orange shirt with the "boo bear crew" on it. It was originally Jensen's shirt who is now 7! So I need to give a shout out to Jens and his mom, my sister, Jenn.
Owen also went for his two month check up on Halloween. He got his first set of shots! Kinda sad, but unavoidable. He is in the 75th percentile for his weight and 90th for his height. He is growing and doing fab! We hope everyone had a great and safe Halloween weekend...Love and Stuff!
