exploring

Owen's favorite place to be currently...

We had to finish off our camping trip with some DQ. Owen couldn't get enough. He also needed some freedom from diaper land.

He loves the "tight rope" over and over... and over again.

owen

i was cleaning up owen's toys... (a nightly ritual)... thinking about our weekend.  and mostly our night. I am so happy to have such a cool kid.  i mean really cool.  tonight he decided to be ultra funny.  spinning til he was too dizzy... dancing- A LOT... laughing at weird things... i am just so HAPPY.  even though it is hard to be a mom sometimes... because, come on... it is.  i feel so blessed and lucky.  jon and i just die over owen every single darn day.  life is so good.  i have learned a lot about enjoying each day. thank you owen.... for showing me all the beauty i am surrounded by.

little red riding hood

On Saturday I rode in the little red riding hood 100 miler.

It was such a beautiful ride.  It was fun to do with my friends... and we all made it. 

No scrapes or bruises.  100 miles. lots of wind... lots of fun.

sand dunes

I am always about a month behind on posts... we went to white wash with our friends the Magleby's in the beginning of May.  We had a real good time. especially jon...

owen+jon

I love this picture of Owen.  So like him...just taking off to explore. He LOVES being outside.  We LOVE him...
Jon went down to Moab last weekend to bike White Rim with a bunch (over 100) dudes.  It is 100 miles long... i guess it was REALLY windy that day. Too bad for them... but i think it made them really tough.
Really beautiful.. he said it was the most amazing scenic ride he has done.
Looking so good.
He and Matt finished it first... not that it was a race... but it might have been in their heads.  I expect nothing less :) They are tough.

Mr. Owen

Owen is really talented. He always has A LOT of work to do on the computer.  He really likes to make space... you know clean house on the computer.. or WWW. 

SO.... somehow he made a lot of space on our sidebar "we like these guys"  i have gradually found you again... but not all. So, please leave a comment because i would really love to still see what is happening in your lives. Thank You. 

happy birthday owen!!!

i am sitting here.. at the exact time one year ago when i was in route to American Fork Hospital... to deliver our sweet little Owen.

it was the best day of my life. infact... i was so sad to leave the hospital, in fear of forgetting this magical experience. i didn't want it to end... and it was only the beginning.

the night Owen was born was perfect. 3 hours of labor. fabulous doctor and nurses. great support and love from Jon.  the room was calm... he barely whimpered when he came.  he just looked up at me...and then i held him on my chest. we knew his spirit... he is so sweet.

AND he came on his due date! he was just trying to be on time :)

our lives have been so blessed to have such a happy, fun, amazing.. little boy. as i am sure all parents feel.  

owen... we love you. it is crazy how much love you can feel for someone. we are so happy... and so lucky...
