Just random stuff!

I caught him quietly in his play room reading his book about babies!

Loves eating apples!!!

Such a sweet boy.

Shoes - his new obsession.

and this is how long Daddy's shoe laces are...

Standing up everywhere now!

Showing of his 2 teeth (and some great eye lashes!)

Lovin' my train!

Even better when Daddy pushes me around on it!

Adam's cousin Venessa came to visit us at the end of May and we had a great time hanging out with her, showing her around Denver and Owen loved her! We went to the summit of Mt Evans one day when she was here and got some great pictures.

Mommy and Owen hanging out at 14,130 feet above sea level.

Me and Venessa in the old resturant that was destroyed by a fire (i think it was destroyed the year I was born)

Owen taking in the thin air.

Daddy and Owen!

I love this picture - I think it looks like the background is almost fake... but its not!

Me and my boys!

Venessa and Owen

The mountain goat that was hanging around that morning.

Owen showing Venessa his knew found obsession - taking the sunglasses off anyone who is risky enough to wear them around him!

One of the lakes on the way down. I was hyperventilating when I took this picture (the drive up and down the mt scares the daylights out of me) Venessa and Adam can vouch for the fact that I don't like the car ride.

The moth, the window.... and Adam!

So it was a beautiful Saturday afternoon and we were just hanging out waiting for Owen to wake up from his morning nap so we could go to the pool. It was just then that a small moth came flying around the kitchen, I trapped it in the fly swatter and asked Adam to finish the job. By finish the job... I meant kill the moth, remove it from the house and leave the house intact. But instead my wonderful husband went at the moth with such force in defending his family that he punched a hole right through the kitchen window, sending glass everywhere. For several minutes afterwards we listened as the glass fell to the ground outside and shattered.

did I mention.... the moth survived the assault.

Adam showing his "handy" work.

My loving husband hoping that I will plug the shop vac in for him to vacuum up the glass that is all over the outside. How convienent that we now have a hole in our house that makes this so much easier!

a proud moment

The garbage disposal was filled with broken glass as well and broke. But adam fixed it quickly.

The happy dance after the garbage disposal was working again.

Working on taking the old window out - not an easy task.

Nice work babe!

Owen mesmerized by Daddy working to replae the window. He couldn't take his eyes off him!

He didn't move the entire time he was out there. He wanted to know just what daddy was doing.

Sawing away the siding of our house to get the old window out. In the end he did it and hung the new window which looks amazing. All in all it wasn't too bad - Adam learned out to install a window, we replaced 1 of 20+ windows in our house that need replacing, and the moth lived to fly another day.

Spring Project

The flower beds in the front of our house were just disasterous. We finally got around to fixing them up. Unfortunatly I didn't take a picture until we had atleast cleaned out all the debris and dead plants - but I still think the pictures show how much better it looks!

Before...

During...

The GIANT pile of dirt that Adam had delivered to the house to fill in the new flower beds (2-3 times more than we needed!)

Owen hanging out outside with me as I filled up the flower beds with dirt. I found him a cool spot in the shade to watch.

Ta- Da!!! We are very please with how it all turned out.

We also did the small flower beds on the other side of the sidewalk.

Sitting in Mommy and Daddy's big bed

Strike a pose!

This is the first (and only so far) time that he pulled himself up to standing all by himself. Adam and I were both there to see him. He is so proud of himself!
