3 Month Old Babies

I was looking for a picture of Owen at 3 months to compare to what Paige looks like now and came across these. I took the one of me and Paige a day or two ago so it was really strange to find such a similar picture from 3 years ago...

July 2010 - Paige and me

May 2007 - Owen and me

Date Day!

We went on a date yesterday for the first time since...November...amazing, I know. We're impressive like that.

3 out of 4

My Mother's Day

Waffles for breakfast!


I was trying to plant some seeds with Owen and he was super upset about getting his picture taken... I think he didn't want any evidence that he was actually enjoying himself for a moment.


A fort!

I wanted a picture with Paige and Owen and he happily obliged but when I saw them and realized I looked like a giant crazy person Owen refused to take any more! He let out this huge sigh and just walked away. I thought it was hilarious. I actually look less crazy in this picture than I did in the other ones, trust me.

Outside! Hooray!

Owen has been using the pedals on his tricycle! Hooray! He (okay, we...) hooked up his dump truck and his wagon so he could pull them all along the driveway. It made things more interesting for him since I was just lounging in a chair for most of the time.


And I got bigger and bigger and...

All Dressed Up!

We went to a friend's wedding over the weekend and needed to pass some time between the ceremony and reception. We ended up finding a really nice park right along the beach that was perfect. The ceremony was so nice and the reception was a lot of fun. I forgot to ask the couple if they minded me putting up pictures so I won't be posting any of them. Here are some pictures of the park and I'll put up some pictures from the reception another day!

Owen getting ready for his ride on the merry-go-round (that's what it's called, right?). I seriously thought they had removed all of these from playgrounds, I hardly every see them and this was Owen's first time on one!


I rode too but I made sure to hold on since I didn't quite trust how fast Pat was going to spin us. I also don't trust my ability to balance anymore...


Family photo on the beach!

I was not wearing the appropriate footwear to venture out as far as Pat and Owen so they had a nice father/son moment.

Dinner, Owen and Me

I tried out a new recipe from Rachael Ray called My Sister Ria's Lazy Chicken (or something like that). It was mediocre and had a strange combination of ingredients but mostly I think the problem was that I forgot to put the cheese on top! I got it from one of her books but click here for an online link.


Random picture of Owen and his super blue eyes



Owen surprised me with this picture while I was on the phone but it shows you how big I am now.
