Owen turns 3




Owen's b-day was on November 3rd. We had a family birthday party for him at Mc Donald's. He enjoyed his vacuum birthday cake to top it off. I also made some Elmo cupcakes.

Tid-Bits about Owen:
1. LOVES vacuums (still hasn't outgrown this obsession).
2. Enjoys going to the gym (mainly to hold and push around the gyms vacuums)
3. He can tell you the color of most family members vacuums.
4. He is beginning to use his imagination while playing.
5. He enjoys playing with cars that he can put people/things into.
6. Likes the movie Stuart Little, and T.V. show Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, and Super Why!
7. Nickname by his dad: DUTCH (sometimes he sounds like he is speaking like a Dutch boy, gets up early like a Dutchman, his middle name is a Dutch name, and he is part Dutch. So it's fitting.)
8. Prefers drinking from a straw rather than straight from the cup.
9. Loves his boppie (his red blanket that his Grammy gave to him when he was little). Does not like sleeping with anything else touching. Only his boppie.
10. Likes to Wrestle with his older brother Jaden.

We love you Owen and we can't believe you are already 3 years old. You make us laugh, and continue to learn and grow each day.

Free Burrito at Chipotle


On Halloween Day Chipotle has a free boo-rito if you come in and dress up all or part of you as a burrito. This was Jake and Jaden's attempt for a free burrito, and it worked!!!!!

Halloween Day 2009







We finally made it to the pumpkin patch on Halloween day. The choices of pumpkins weren't the best but it was still fun for the kids to pick out their own pumpkins. We came home after the pumpkin patch and carved the pumpkins, and took a nap to prepare ourselves for trick or treating. Owen was a frog (Jaden's old costume), and Jaden was Snake Eyes (the Ninja on GI Joe).
