Dada... I'm stuck!

Mr. Owen thought it would be a funny joke to get in Audrey's jumper when Mom wasn't looking. I think the joke was on Owen though, because he got stuck. He couldn't get out on his own. We'll see if that happens again...

More rain?

Owen is ready to head out into the Oregon winter! Frog boots? Check! FrogBrella? Check! Bring on the puddles!

Curled up sleeping...

Owen decided that he'd sleep a slightly different way today for the last part of his nap. No one else can figure out how this can be comfortable... any ideas?

All lined up

Mr. Owen likes to line up his cars so they're ready to race at a moment's notice.

Owen builds

Mr. Owen built a tower taller than Owen. Nice work, little man!

White space...

Owen says "Designers these days, they just don't know how to use white space effectively. Can I fix it? Yes I can!"

Dinner date!

Owen and Sophie shared a table for dinner... The atmosphere at Cucina Mia was superb!

It is so frightening!

I woke up and two lions were chasing me. They were hot on my heels!!!

Happy Birthday Owen!

Mom made Owen this awesome train cake. It had a blue "Thomas" engine and a "Little Red Caboose" in back. Both the engine and caboose were PKU friendly cakes.

Owen got lots of great gifts from his family, including Chuck the Dump Truck from Owen's Great Aunt Karen.

Mom helped Owen blow out candles. He actually did a good job and only needed a bit of help.

And, even the blue icing on the cake didn't cause too many problems. We think Owen had a great 2nd birthday.

Thanks!

Thank you for the awesome gifts for Owen's 2nd birthday. He's going to be on FOL for a while. For the acronymically challenged, FOL = Fun OverLoad.

It's my birthday...

happy vbirfgut nhhrderdfdfaziyy

(This was Owen typing... with Dad's help for spelling. The goal was 'happy birthday me' but we ended up with a little bit of keyboard slamming toward the end. )

Happy 2nd birthday Owen!

Owen's corner...

Owen enjoys his new Owen-sized table and a few noodles...

723 days old...

Pretty soon, Owen will be this many. [holds up two fingers...]

Mwah....

Ahhhh-ahhh... I vant to takes ur candies! Mwah-ahh-ahhhhh....

It's birthday season!

Three cute kids, born a little over a week apart. Will we repeat the photo next year? I hope so!

Just hanging out...

Owen has brief periods of time when he can just hang out with Audrey. She's starting to find him very entertaining. This is a good thing.

Then and now...

We thought Owen was pretty cute in the bear towel after baths, but now he has a run for his money. Look out, world... Audrey (Lil) is starting to put on show!

Pumpkin Hunting

It was a grand day in the Pumpkin Patch! Despite the threat of showers, it was actually a good day to be looking for pumpkins. A bit muddy (the kids didn't mind), but not too cold or dreary. Bop was kind enough to drive the group and Owen was able to invite a few friends along. Of course, Sofie was there!









Audrey wasn't so sure about the whole pumpkin thing, but she was a good sport! The kids were dressed up as skeletons and Audrey even sported a darling little skull cap. Awww.....








Owen & Eli enjoyed themselves. Kids this age can make a drum out of anything. I think Owen was happy to have a fellow drumming fiend! They had a short but productive jam session.





This was part of the crew, out of the picture were the Kershner boys. It was really tough to get 5 little kids all huddled around for pictures. Owen was in the process of giving me, Mom, the evil look for having Audrey on his lap. She is no light-weight! Overall a fun day and we will be looking forward to going out with the group again next year.

Look what I found!

I found a corn maze!

I can be a good big brother...

at least long enough to take a photo. My dad says the shutter speed was about 1/60th of a second. Yep, I can manage that.

Go Ducks!

If this is how big a Duck is, how big is Autzen Stadium?

Naps happen

Sometimes naps just hit you when you least expect it.

I found a bukkit!

My dad is always reading that lolcats site, and they're always talking about a bukkit... Well, I found one! My mom says I should be dressing up to use it... Anyone know what she means?
