Owen turns 4!

I got to celebrate Owens birthday on Mother's Day which was pretty fitting since he is my little mama's boy :)) I dont know if its all the time we've been able to spend together since we moved here but man, that little boy is something else. He is SUCH a little lover. I mean, don't get me wrong, he is all boy and LOVES to hit, kick, break, rough house, and play any sport but he is a softie.

Its hard to believe he is 4, when we moved here he was 10 months old. And now he is 4, finished his first year of preschool, asks EIGHT THOUSAND questions a day, and is starting sports. It's so hard for my little heart!

Even though I'm watching him grow right before my eyes, he is still such a little boy at heart. This sweet face is scared of monsters. Like, I think he wants to be brave and tough and know that there aren't really monsters but he just doesnt believe it. He asks Hannah if there are monsters in the pantry, bathroom, other rooms. If he goes to the bathroom, you HAVE to turn the light on for him. He will not go by himself. Acutally, he wants you to leave as soon as you get up and turn the light on. Stinker!

 He has such a sweet heart. We got him golf clubs for his birthday and he kept saying," Im so lucky!" and one night he just goes, "I really have my own golf clubs!" He was SO cute. He loves going golfing with daddy. Except sometimes, he takes the club covers off his clubs, puts them on his hands and pretends he's a hockey player! He will play something very physical one day!


 We went to dinner and golfing on his birthday, it was fun to watch him swing his new clubs. And these two....two peas in a pod, doing man things!


 I mean, can you resist a little boy in underwear! He carries these clubs back and forth from the backyard to the garage, getting his tee ready and hitting balls. I really hope he doesnt nail a window!
 This kid will cuddle me pretty much whenever I ask. Especially in the mornings. Most mornings he yells for me, I come upstairs and he doesnt get out of bed until we cuddle for a little bit. I am FOREVER grateful that I dont have to rush around in the mornings getting ready for work, I can just jump in bed with him and kiss his sweet face until he needs the light turned on in the bathroom. Ha ha. Some mornings he does not want to get up, so I call it shark attack. I give him all kinds of shark kisses, stingray bites, octopus loves, it takes him awhile but eventually he starts laughing and will get up! I think he would sleep all morning if we didnt have to take Hannah to school.

 Good looking swing!
 They played too much golf! And he got a hat just like daddys!
 One of my favorite things that he does, when it's just me and him at the house, he yells, "Can SOMEONE get me a drink? Can SOMEONE get my trucks?" I'm all, Owen, I'm the ONLY someone in this house with you :) It's just so funny.

 He loves this rain boots, he's got his Ghostbuster water pack on spraying bugs!

 Those hands are still chubby and I hope they don't go away any time soon!



He and Hannah play baby often, this was him in the "carseat". This thing is FILLED with shoes. But I guess when the boss, Hannah tells you to be the baby and get in the carseat you just do it and lay on 40 pairs of shoes!

Now he wants to fix his own hair. I mean, break my heart!

Sometimes we go to lunch just the two of us, it's always an adventure!


I tell him to NOT get bigger, never turn 5, live with me forever, never get married and leave me. He usually agrees, except when I told him to PLEASE not turn 5 and he said, "but I have to so I can get a wiggly toof!"
He will be an amazing big brother!! I love watching you grow Owen. I LOVE how sweet you are, I love how interested you are in SO many things. You are a special, special little dude!!

Baseball is back!

We are in FULL swing with baseball! 4-5 days a week, but we all do kind of love it! Our nights get crazy but it wears the kids out, Jeremy has fun coaching (well maybe not Tball!) and I get some social time, win win for everyone!

(What is REALLY sad is that I am JUST now getting back to this post and baseball season just ended! Seriously behind on life!) 

But Im going to go ahead and post cute pictures of my little baseball stars!

Love my sweet little boy!
He was so cute. He loved his hat :)
This year Owen played Tball and was on the Giants. Hannah was on the Indians and moved up to Single A Ball with the big boys! Like literally, with 9 year old boys! I was so proud she got out there and did it. This season was kid pitch instead of coach pitch, which meant LOTS of crazy pitches, even kids getting hit with pitches and a much harder season for them. Unfortunately, our team was new to A-ball, we had LOTS of 6 year olds so it was a tough season. We only won one game but the kids did a great job each game. We'll get better each year! And the best, this ROCK STAR, PITCHED against 9 year old boys. SO proud of her. And she loved it!


Opening day ceremonies




My girl batting!

 Team picture, we had great coaches!


 One of the grandpas on the team takes these great pictures almost every game. We are so lucky to have these!

 LOVE this picture!
 My girl pitching!!


I will admit I get nervous watching her but its fun!

Then my little Giant. He LOVED baseball. He was so cute playing pitcher and first base. Tball is basically one big mosh pit when the ball was hit, so the kids basically just wrestled for the ball. But Owen took it pretty seriously!


 He ALWAYS had the dirtiest pants. Im no susie homemaker but I would soak those things for 3 days!




 EVERY single time he would bat, he would slide into home. And he had the best slide out there!


 I think he's going to be a pretty good athlete. Cant wait to watch him!
 Sweet baseball angel!

Easter Weekend!

We set out for a weekend away to California for Easter weekend. I was still not feeling great but knew getting out of the house would help. It was a great weekend! We got in early and were able to catch up before dinner, then had a busy next couple of days!

 Saturday morning we went to the neighborhood park for an Easter egg hunt, the kids had alot of fun! Tons of eggs and with a little help they both found golden eggs :)







 We dyed some Easter eggs, thank goodness for teacher Kelly!


 That night we had tickets to go to Medieval Times, I was excited to take the kids!




The kids really loved it. Hannah LOVED the chicken, she still talks about it ha ha

 Easter morning we had lots of fun Easter surprises, amazing food, and egg hunts!




Getting in the car was TOUGH. I was dreading that 4 hour ride home, not feeling so good. And it was LONG and no one slept! It was a great weekend though, thankful we have them close to share holidays with them :)
