Owen turns Two

We are so glad we got to celebrate Owen's second birthday with as much family as possible! My mom and dad suprised us with a visit and we decided to throw together a BBQ and celebrate! My 2 aunts (my mom's sisters) that live in Boise were able to come (with thier sons) and it made it that much more awesome! We would have been crushed if Kelsey and Jaeger couldn't come because we love them! Owen walks around and alternates between saying "Jaeger play" and "Kassy come" (he calls both my sisters Kassidy and Kennadee, "Kassy") We sure missed Kim and my other far away sisters, but you do what you can and it was fun!

Wish the goobers were smiling but glad to have the pic and have a fabulous photographer, Kelsey, whose pics are way better! Thank you! Thank you!

I like this photo!

The aunties!

I really wanted to bake a car cake and ice it because Owen is obsessed, obsessed I tell you, with Cars and Mater in paticular. But this one turned out alright. I think Owen's obsession is cute. Kent thinks it is ridiculous, haha.

Parties are fun! Let's plan many more!

Aunt Kamilla! Love her! We were roomies in college for a semester and I have always admired her! We need to do more craft nights!

Fav pic! Our cutie pie! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, OWEN!!!!

Here is everything Owen loves! I printed this pic out and Owen has packed it around for two days! Jaeger, cake, Mater, and balloons! :)

Fun tools and trucks for the birthday boy! Thank you!

Fall clothes!

Great afternoon! Let's do it again, soon!

Happy

Life is sure busy but I really wanted to document a fun evening out we had last night. I worked all day yesterday while Kent took Owen outside exploring. When we all got home we decided to go out to dinner. Owen kept hugging me and Kent was excitedly telling me all the adventures of the day. The waiter came and asked us what we would like to drink. Kent ordered pop and I ordered a pina colada and the waiter asked, "what about the little guy?" I said, "oh, he's fine." But then, Owen looked right at the waiter and adamently said , Water! We laughed and Owen got his water. Then the waiter brought the drinks and took our order. Owen stood up and again looked right at the guy and said, Thank you! We laughed again. Owen is so stinkin cute! Kent asked Owen if he saw his friend, Paige today and what was she watching? Cars, he said! I can't believe how grown up he is getting, he is really putting two and two together (no pun intended)! We use to have to coax him and he would just repeat what we said, but he sure is understanding a whole lot more now. He will be two on Monday and I was looking through some older pictures and decided to post a collage of ones I hadn't posted before.

Kent's brother and sister-in-law had thier baby on Saturday! Little Lily May Stringham came four weeks early and weighes just under 5 lbs. She was so fun to hold and never made a peep the whole day. Owen gave Lily kisses and held her so sweet!

While the big boys went hunting, Owen and I scouted around the garden. The Stringhams have lots of different colored roses that were all in bloom for the little sniffer.

Watering the moo cows and chickens.

Watering himself.

Washing a carrot from the garden's abundance!

Picking grapes, Owen's favorite fruit, and stuffing them all in his mouth!

Grandma gave owen a bowl of baby strawberries and put on Disney cassettes for Owen to be spoiled with! He is also sporting his new birthday outfit from Grandma-a rarrr! shirt and camo pants!

A short but sweet trip to see our new niece! Thanks Stringham family!
