Concentration

...is what it takes to build a tower THAT tall!

A Boy, A Basket, A Book

Owen was a hurricane this morning. He went from one thing to the next at high speed. No, I mean HIGH speed. (which is a hint to mommy: "Today will be a two nap day--one just won't suffice.") I think he emptied every container he could find, drug out every toy, brought me several pairs of shoes (He's obsessed with shoes!), and left quite the trail behind wherever he stepped foot...much like a hurricane.

Here's he is--all the books emptied out of his book basket, sitting (for only a split second), and reading a book.

Where did the time go?

32 weeks ALREADY?!?! I'm not sure I can believe it! This pregnancy is going soo fast! Lilly will be here before I know it. Here's the belly shot:

Tonight we went over to Grammie and Papa's house for a little bit and Owen had a blast. Sadly, I didn't bring the camera, so you'll have to use your imagination on the visuals. When we first arrived Papa was working on a tractor and had one of his many toolboxes emptied with all the tools strewn around it. Owen gladly put every last tool back in the box--one at a time, of course. He was so excited to get to sit on the tractor while Jimmy started it up. He loved watching the exhaust pipe puff out smoke. Then a little later, Jimmy got Papa's motor bike running and took Owen for a little ride. He squealed and laughed with excitement. He asked for more every time Jimmy stopped the bike. Sigh....Boys and tractors and anything with a motor is always a recipe for endless fun.

Backyard fun

Tonight we were outside playing in the yard. Owen's choice spot to play tonight was in the lovely hole Barkley decided to dig. He pulled his wagon over to it, sat down, and started transferring dirt from one place to another.

Then Jimmy spotted a praying mantis in the flower bed...which, of course, was the center of some fun!

Owen and Ryder

This weekend the Rodriguez family came to visit us! Owen and Ryder had a good time playing together. They are both fun little balls of energy!

Here's Jimmy holding both the boys after breakfast. :)

...AND shame on me...I didn't get a picture of little Jack, their newest addition to the family. But I did get to hold and cuddle him!
