Happy Birthday Owen!

This weekend we helped Owen celebrate his 1st birthday. I can't believe he is already one! Here is the cute birthday boy in the pool~

Audrey Claire enjoyed having a girl to play with! Owen's cousin Harper came to celebrate too.

The cute birthday boy eating his cake. Yummy!

Audrey Claire couldn't wait to get her hands on cake too. She kept saying "cream" while Owen was eating. She called it "cream" the whole time. I guess the icing looks like ice cream?

Of course Judah and Audrey Claire had to help open presents:)

Here's sweet Harper. She is such a doll!

Harper's mom spent a little time letting Audrey Claire "drive" around the yard. It makes me so happy to have friends who love my sweet little girl:)

Playing in the pool while they boys weren't looking!

Birthday noise-makers... Not sure who thought that'd be a good idea!!

Judah loves his cousin

Miss Priss decided not to take a nap all day Saturday. Needless to say, she was tired! By the end of the party, she climbed on the couch, grabbed a blanket and this is what we saw about three minutes later! She was so tired. I felt bad she was so tired but this allowed Seth and I to stay and hang out a little longer!

Fun with Judah and Owen

Earlier this week, several of our friends got together for supper. We had great food thanks to Meghan and Donnie and wonderful fellowship. Although we don't get to much, we really enjoy being with all our friends! It was fun to see Audrey Claire, Judah and Owen together. They are all growing up entirely too fast. I feel like I just found out I was pregnant. Now I have an 18 month old, Judah is walking all over the place and Owen is crawling all over the place. How did this happen?!!!

These next two pictures look like Judah is attacking Owen. That's not the case at all! Owen was upset and Judah went over to him to try and comfort him. It was the sweetest and funniest thing!

Don't freak out. We didn't let Owen cry too long. His Momma was fixing his bottle but you know we are never fast enough for them. It was just too sweet not to take a picture of!

As I was choosing pictures for this post, I began to look back at old pictures. It really makes me sad to see how fast they are growing and I know it's only gonna go faster the older they get. Here are a few to show how all the babies have grown!

Lastly, today AC are headed to Crystal Springs for a few days. It may be next week before I post again!

"Ow-ah"

Baby Owen has a new name. And it's about time too! He isn't a little baby anymore. He is getting to be such a big boy. Anyway, Audrey Claire calls him "Ow-ah." And boy does she LOVE her some "Ow-ah." She says his name constantly and loves when he comes to play. We got to keep him one morning last week and fun was had by all. Even Seth was home so he got to play with us too.

Just playin'

Taking Owen for the ride of his life :)

What a sweet face!

Here's a video of how most of their play time was spent.

Walkin' in a Winter Wonderland

How about that snowstorm yesterday? I feel like it never snowed when I was a child and Audrey Claire has seen snow two times already! Well, three if you count the snow we got when I was pregnant with her.

She didn't enjoy the snow quite as much as last time. She didn't really mind it if we were holding her but she did not want to walk in it.

When Seth got up, he walked straight to the back door to see how much snow we had gotten and all of a sudden, CRASH! Here's the result of what he saw-

Guess we'll have to get another table before summer!

Catching a nap before Judah and Owen come to play

I thought it would be cute to get a picture of Judah and AC on her slide... However, they didn't think it was such a good idea.

"Mommy, he's touching me!"

He had so much fun playing!

Owen said "I can't keep my eyes open because snow keeps getting in them!" Haha. He was such a good sport and his momma got some great family pictures!

Nothing like a good bottle and sippy cup after playing in the snow!

The past week

Sorry I haven't posted anything in a while! Not much has been going on around here lately! Just a lot of playing with friends. Here are some pictures from the last week.

Somebody found an old toy and loves to play in it/on it! She is starting to climb on things a little more. We tell her all the time that she really is a monkey.

I can't keep her out of it! She can climb in it and get out all by herself. I guess I could put it up but she is having so much fun with it I can't.

Here is what she used to look like in it. Makes me sad to see how much she has grown.

More climbing-

Look at all that hair!

Please help, now I am stuck!

We got to see Judah a little this past weekend. He has such a fun personality!

And so cute!

Owen also came to visit and got to ride with Audrey Claire in her wagon.

Strolling with friends

Since the weather was so nice this week, we tried to get out of the house and do some strolling. One afternoon both Judah and Owen and their moms joined us. We all had a blast!

Somebody was excited to be sitting like a big boy in his stroller!

Gotta love the wind-blown look...

When we got the big girl car seat, we worried about her being able to sleep in it. As you can see, she's had no problems adjusting!
Don't you love the feet crossed? Such a lady...
