Bye Bye Curls

Owen got his first haircut today. He seems pretty happy about it too. More pictures later when we get to see him.

Loves His Bampa

You Busted!!!

 Mary took these pictures, or evidence as she said, of Mark on this chair.

The chair is a part of a set that Rachel got on her first birthday from my Mom and Dad.

33 years ago.

No worries though. It would be hard to break them, they are tough.

This is when you say they don't make things like they use to.



The Wandering Camera

Sometimes the kids take my camera and I end up with some funny or weird and sometimes beautiful pictures. I'll let you be the judge when you check these pictures out that Cari took on Christmas Day, 2011.

 Richard says he just can't make it over the 6' fence, but guess what? He did.

 Cloud!

 Monique scratching on the tree, she loves it. She waits for Mom do scratch her in the morning.

 Same cloud, pretty cool.

 Basketball anyone?

 Halter art.

 Poo art.

 Tree with wire mesh art?

Leave it to Cari to find a really interesting tree that we have probably all looked at a hundred times.

This is SO true!!!

Epic!! Christmas 2011

Bubba and Owen, brotherly love!

 Gavyn (AKA Bubba) and Owen

 They love each other so much.

 Don't get me wrong, Owen does bug his big brother sometimes. Just like Megan and Jessica bugged Rachel. Especially about coming into her room and playing with her Barbies. Which she did once in a while and of course it usually ended with Rachel kicking them out.

Once in a while they would sneek in there and of course that was never good.

Thor, Megan and Dylan's dog, loves to help open presents!!

Even if it's not dog cookies!

We love that Jessica and Jason wore their ugly Christmas sweaters!

And Jason loves the knife Dad and Mom bought him.

Allen snuggled up with his Mama, Ana.

Cari surprised her Mom and Dad by flying home from Amsterdam for a 2 week visit.

The video may be on Mary's blog, so check it out.

Mom's a sucker for a cute astronaut. Yes, and he still hangs out with us.

We love Richard.

Randy made the Jello.

"Does your cat eat Jello?"

AKA one of the best lines in National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation.

Lots of coats on the bed equals a fun filled, house full of good times!!

Bampa love's his Great grandson and Owen loves his Bampa.

He's giving Bampa a check up.

So...where was I....

And back to Owen's Christmas concert.

He was just so happy to go and sing the songs his class learned. 

 Pa and Owen heading into the church where the concert was held, everything is still OK.

~I love this picture~

Then the melt down started. We could all tell he was saying

"I want my Mama"

He didn't cry the whole time. He would stop look around and sing a few words, then look at Mama and start again. His teacher did hold him in her lap the rest of the concert.

Poor Rachel. I think it was harder on her.

Of course as soon as the concert was over he had to cry all over again. But hey Rachel looks happier!

Love my Gavyn!
