Flying by!

That is how I would describe these last three weeks. It is so hard to believe that Owen is 3 weeks old today. There have been many sleepless nights and countless diaper changes. I never thought I could accumulate this much laundry. (I cannot imagine what it would be like with 4 or 5 kids... my washer and dryer would never rest!) Luckily I have had my wonderful mother here every step of the way. She has helped so much and Keller has enjoyed having the company.

Keller and his little bro are getting along great. Today when we got home from the store I set Owen on the ground in his car seat while I put a few things away and when I walked back in the room Keller was kissing Owen and giving him hugs. Keller kept repeating "kiss Owen" while Owen tried to suck on Keller's face!! I'm sure the hitting and punching stage between brothers will come shortly, but right now Keller is surprisingly gently.

Here are a few pictures that Zach has taken of Owen...

We have hundreds more (it's a sickness), but we haven't had any time to take them off the camera... soon!

Introducing...

I cried my eyes out when Keller came into the room to meet his little brother.

(Zach just continued to munch on his microwave burrito!)

(he is obsessed with him... "see Owen" "kiss Owen" "hugs Owen")

Super late post!

So here is a super late post from Halloween. I didn't realize that I hadn't put these pictures up until I noticed them still on the camera. That is REALLY BAD!! Well, needless to say we had a wonderful Halloween. Keller really got the hang of it after a few attempts.

Mid afternoon one of the neighbor girls threw a Halloween bash outside. She wasn't very successful at rounding up and organizing 10 little kids, but at least they were all in their costumes...

Keller hated it! He was such a party-pooper!

But he quickly recovered!

Some of our neighbors were moving later that week and they got their trailer out for the kids to play in... they loved that thing! (kinda looks like a mug shot line up!)

Candy bucket on head and finger in his nose... just like his father!

After a long nap we set out for trick-or-treating. In Provo, Center St. becomes a big trick-or-treat neighborhood and the kids go from shop to shop and the owners hand out candy. It was different than Idaho, but it worked!

Later that night...

All in all, I would say Halloween 2010 was a BIG success. Keller got to practice his "please and thank yous" and ended up with tootsie rolls in his teeth! Yum!

Rainy Days!

Don't you just LOVE rainy days?

We do!

Owie

Owie: A word commonly used by small children or infants to describe a wound.

Well here is Keller's first experience with a BIG OWIE. I will admit, I didn't even see this one happen, only the aftermath! Some how he managed to straddle a toy lawn mower backwards and then fall face first onto the cement drive way. I always thought it was instinctual to put your hands out to catch yourself... evidently I was wrong, very, very wrong!

Here is the sequence of events once we got inside...

Mommy to the rescue...

Maybe if I try it myself...

Yeah, that's better

Later that night...

All is well.

One down, one million more owies to go!

July

This past July we went to the Oregon Coast. We always love going there. The cool breeze is a nice break from the HOT Utah summers, but by the end of the trip we are always very welcoming to the sun again! Here are a few pics from our trip. Keller loved the beaches and discovering things with his Daddy.

Keller: "really, it tastes good? okay dad, I'll try it"
