Our Little Man....

It's hard to believe that 3 years ago today, this little bundle entered our lives. We have been so blessed to have him as part of our family. Grandma and Papa came up yesterday to stay for a couple of days, so they got to help us celebrate his birthday.

Owen Keith just a few hours old. Feb. 13, 2006.

First birthday.

Second birthday.

Now he's a grown up three year old!

I've been asking him for a while what he wanted for his birthday and he would ALWAYS say he wanted a "bicycle cake". I looked several places for a cake pan shaped like a bike, but could never find one, so I attempted to make his little dreams come true with a bike cake. :) Not the most professional cake out there, but I enjoy making them.

He wanted to help me cut the cake.

My little man!

He got his very own "big boy" bike and was very excited!

Grandma reading him one of his birthday cards.

We have had a wonderful time with Grandma and Papa here. Thank you for coming up to see us!

Happy Birthday, Pops...

Today is Keith's dad's birthday. He is a great dad and Papa to the kids. He loves ALL of his grandchildren and is very excited when there is an announcement that another one is on the way. We are blessed to have him for our "dad" and enjoy being with him when we're together.

This was when Owen was a baby. They all know that Papa loves them.

Owen and Papa almost share the same birthday. Owen's is the 13th.

I found this picture and couldn't resist, because I've gotten this look a few times. If we could all see his face, I'm probably getting one of these looks right now. :) (I love you, too. :) )

We love you, Pops, and hope you have a wonderful birthday. We can't wait to see you in a few days!!

Just Checking In...

We have had a very busy weekend and this week doesn't look any slower, but I thought I'd drop in and give a little update. Jeremy and Trelanie (my brother and sister-in-law) came up Saturday and said they were staying until Wednesday. :) We love having our family here, so we're happy that they can stay that long. These are the only pictures I've taken since they've been here and for some reason they posted backwards, but that's okay.

I took these the other night while we were having devotions before going to bed.
I thought they were so cute all lined up saying their prayers.

This was before prayer and I can't remember what Tori was requesting prayer for, but it looked like Owen was really thinking about that one.

They wanted to sing a few songs, so they sang "Deep and Wide"......

and "Only a Boy Named David" .....(and the giant came tumbling down)

These three have been having so much fun together. We are enjoying their family being here.

Happy Birthday, Jeremy!!!

Today is my "little" brother's birthday. It's hard to believe that we're all grown-up with families of our own. Growing up, Jeremy and I were best buddies and are still close. I appreciate my little Bro and very proud of him. He's a hard working lineman and a wonderful daddy to his two little girls.

This picture was taken a few years ago, but I still like it. :)

We love you, Jeremy!! Thanks for being such a great brother and friend.

Cookin' Up Some Fun With Daddy...

The other night the kids were having some fun with Daddy. Megan was walking around with this box and fork all evening. She would walk around and "stir" her little box. It was so cute to watch her.

She decided Daddy needed a bite of whatever she was cooking.

The kids love to play with Keith. Here's Megan going on her "airplane" ride.

Some smooches for Daddy.

Perfect ending to a fun evening, a horsey-ride to the bathtub!

Thanks for stopping by! We love hearing from you.

Come Have Tea With Me.....

Kristyn and Megan got a tea set for Christmas from Grandma and Grandpa. Kristyn LOVES to have tea parties, so the other day they all had a tea party in the living room. Here's a few pictures for you to enjoy.

Water and apple slices. :) Sounds like a good "tea party" to me.

Megan sporting her first black eye and a mouth full of apple.

What a manly thing to do at a tea party.

It's such a big job serving tea. :)
