Happy Birthday Owen!!

My little man is now 2 years old! Owen had his birthday on Sunday and he really wasn't too sure what was going on and what all the fuss was about. However, after opening his first present, he realized that there might be some good stuff in those funny packages. We had a good day celebrating with family. Now the trick is to get it through to Kendra that the new things are Owen's toys and not hers!!

Owen is not sure what a birthday card is all about!

Checkin' out his "Things that Go - Puzzle book". This present thing isn't so bad!!

The motorized CAT tractor/loader was quite a hit!

I had quite a bit of fun making his Construction birthday cake. He thought it was pretty cool too!

No nap today!

Kendra has decided over the past 2 weeks that she no longer wants to take a nap. Up until now, I was getting a nice quiet afternoon with both kids sleeping. However, it was getting much harder for us to get Kendra to go to bed and even longer for her to go to sleep. So, as much as I'll miss both kids sleeping in the afternoon, it is better at night. But, tonight at the supper table, Kenda was kinda fidgeting at the table (nothing new). After a few minutes of her being under the table and us being distracted by Owen's wonderful eating habits :), we had a look and this is what we saw! Zonked right out!!

Tea party with Gramma

My mom is visiting us before heading off on her Hawaiian cruise! She had promised Kendra that the next time she came, they could have a 'real' tea party. So, true to her word, they did just that. Gramma had found very pretty tea party dresses at her store for both of them and so they both looked very nice for the afternoon occasion.

Here Kendra is setting the table and getting things ready for her party.

Owen was not really invited but he decided to wake up early from his nap. He had a pretty nasty cold so he didn't look quite as pretty as his Gramma and his sister. He did, however, get right into the party, serving tea and drinking his own.

Thanks for the great party Gramma!!
