a perfect day

I love being able to stay home with my children, but it is days like March 1st that just put the cherry on top. It was a BEAUTIFUL winter day that felt like spring and it was oh.so.nice. We played outside all day. Even after dark. We rode bikes, scooters, played in our new sand/water box, went to the park, played soccer, and basketball. And then we all slept really well. It was a perfect day.

Brent is such an "accessories" kinda guy. These are his new sunglasses.

Now that Owen is walking all over the place he is becoming more adventurous and more like big brother.

Such a cutie!

This is Lil' Miss Scarlett. My ADORABLE! niece.

Looking so stylish in her Hollywood sunglasses.

Brent and Uncle Chad. Brent and Owen seriously have the best Aunts and Uncles in the world!

At home, getting late. The boys are playing in Owen's Sand/Water toy box that he got for Christmas. We just set it up yesterday.

Here's hoping that Mother Nature has forgotten to give us a Winter and the weather just stays this way.

Baby Steps

Although Owen is nearly 16 months old now he is still very much a baby to me.  Staying true to his nature, he has really taken his time hitting most of the "milestones" which makes him seem younger than he actually is.  About a week ago he started taking his first steps.  And by steps I mean Brandon and I were forcing him to walk back and forth between us.  After he got over the fear of taking those initial steps within a couple days he was taking steps on his own.  Now, just in the past 2 days he has been walking A LOT.  We played outside today and he was walking all over the yard.  It's really weird seeing him walk but I'm excited (and unprepared) for all the trouble he and Brent are going to get into now.  Watch out world!  The Owenator (that's what we call him) is about to become very mobile.
