Happy Holidays!

So I know I am his mother...but seriously...this is the cutest. Owen is so in love with Christmas...and can't stop singing about it.

Thanksgiving

I hope you all had a wonderful thanksgiving. We ended up spending it at the hospital. Chris was hospitalized again for kidney stones. Poor guy. We were there about 6 hours and then they released him. I feel so bad for the guy...i just wish people would stop telling him that the pain is worse then child birth.

No more facial hair!

For as long as I have known Chris he has had a goatee....Well guess what? He had to shave it off for work a couple of days ago. So funny! He was so pissed. He hates his chin. I loved it. So I had to take a picture to share... because he will never ever do it again.

Looking Back at the Summer

I thought I would do a post and look back at the fun things we did over the summer. I am so going to miss the sun and being outside and not freezing. Over the summer we went to the park a lot, the zoo, parades. We had Owen's Pirate birthday party that was so much fun. We went swimming every week...until they kicked the little kids out of the pools. But I am excited for the snow....so I can take Owen tubing and make snowmen and snowangels.

Soccer Class

So my sister and I decided to put Owen and Carson in a soccer class...and then about 3 weeks later we took them out because it was horrible. The boys didn't even like going...it sucked! Anyway I got a few cute pictures of them.

Halloween

Owen was a pirate for Halloween...but seriously he thinks he is a pirate all the time. He loved loved loved trick or treating. He ran from house to house and just loved seeing all the kids in their costumes.

October Vacation

This October we took a little vacation with the whole family to Mesquite. We had fun swimming, golfing and just being lazy. Chris and I were like old ladies on the penny slots and bingo...which i never won. Owen had so much fun learning to golf and driving all over the resort in the golf cart. We also took Owen to Vegas...just where every 3 year old needs to go.
