Memorial Day Weekend

The weekend was full of ....
Teething, teething and more teething,
At least four cuspids, possibly a molar,
Temper tantrums,
Fever,
Defiance and opposition,
Crying and more crying,
Refusing any medication,
Biting,
Smashing head first into the wall
and
Sneaking out the front door and closing it behind him...
All brought to us by our sweet baby Owen!

oops!

So, I messed up my blog tonight. Probably because its late, I was not paying attention and I have become way to obsessed with trying to make an original backround. Once fixed it will never be changed again!

Owen 19 mo.

Uncle Lane

Uncle Lane, my sisters husband, came to Vegas this week for business. He was only busy during the day so we got to spend tons of time with him in the evenings. Owen loves Lane and had so much fun hanging out. Lane was so awesome to offer to babysit Owen while we went out to do some house hunting. In a few weeks Aunt Debbie will be here to visit during her business trip! We can't wait to see her. Maybe sometime they will be able to come down together. But you can't beat a free trip.

Penny's Fan Club

Penny has a fan club! Whenever I am coming or going from the house after school hours or on the weekends I hear a chorus of girls scream PENNY! If Penny is not with me, the girls beg me to bring her outside so they can see her. One of the girls asked if Penny could come to her birthday party and another girl bought pug dog webkin named it Penny! Last Haloween all of the neighborhood kids came over to see Penny in her halloween cosutme. We love our pug dog and are glad our neighborhood kids love her too!

Owens trip to Utah

While mom and dad were hiking in Escalante I flew to Utah to be spoiled by my all my relatives. I spent my time at Nana's investigating every nook and cranny of her house. I even conned my Nana, Aunt Debbie and Uncle Lane into taking me to the zoo for the very first time. I also hung out with my Grandma and Grandpa Green who also love to spoil me. Thanks family, I miss you so much.

Escalante Hike

This past weekend we went on a backpacking trip. I was a bit apprehensive at first, I was not sure if carrying everything I needed to survive in a backpack was for me but it ended up being one of the funnest trips I have been on. The weather was perfect, the scenery amazing and the company of our friends the Olson's made it that much more fun. It was challenging, relaxing and at some points a little scary. But worth it!

Swimming Lessons

April was a busy month for us so I am going to try and catch up on some blogging. On April 19th was Owens first swimming lesson. He jumped right in with no fear! The water was a little cool but he did not seem to mind. He LOVED the watering can the instructor provided and got really mad when she tried to take it away. It was a great experience and we are looking forward to our lesson this week. (We missed last weeks lesson due to Jared and I's hiking adventure and Owens trip to Nana's. More to come about hiking and Nana's soon!)
