Upgrade.

Owen got a new big boy bed a few weeks ago. He hasn't actually slept in it yet but he is definitely excited about it. He's always climbing all over it and brings his bedtime giraffe with him when he sits on it. Hopefully that means we'll have an easy transition! 

Photo Shoot.

I've realized we have millions of pictures of Tim & Owen, Owen & I or just Owen but a picture of the three of us is almost non-existent. It's probably because every time I try, this happens.

cut off heads again and closed eyes.

sleepy guy & once again, Tim has been be-headed.

This is the best I got.

Anyone know a good photographer in ABQ? :-(

did you hear?

I'm pretty behind in posting but a few weeks ago we found out the gender of our little peanut.

I'm a little nervous about having a girl! I'm so used to boys that I'm finding the adjustment a little more slow than I thought. I am super excited to dress her in Hello Kitty though. :-) Luckily for us we've had a girl name chosen for years so we just need to figure out a middle name. Hopefully it won't take us nearly as long as it did with Owen! We are so excited to meet our little June!

Bear Lake.

For the first time in 3 years we were able to go to the family cabin at Bear Lake. Boy is it different when you have kids! We had a really great time working on our tans and eating raspberry shakes. Unfortunately, we were a rather pathetic bunch on the way home. Tim was puking his guts out the whole way back, I was dealing with a spider bite and Owen ate something that he was allergic to so he had a terrible rash and a fever. I still think it was worth it. :-)

Owen especially loved the flavors of the area. :-)

Weekend in the Heat.

We stopped in St. George on our way to Salt Lake for Tim's rotation and visited with family for the 4th of July weekend. It. was. hot. Most of the day we had to spend indoors because of the heat.

We had to get a little creative with our activities. :-)

Owen doesn't like to sit and Linkon doesn't like to hear him cry about it. :-)

Those boys sure were loved while we were there!

ninja.

Perhaps it's overkill to dress an asian baby in asian clothes but I couldn't resist. :-)

I missed his "asian smile," by a fraction of a second.

How hilarious is the print?! Ninja karate chops all over the place. :-)

Owl Cafe.

We ventured out to the Owl Cafe a week or two ago after saying we wanted to for 3 years. :-) 

We are suckers for old fashioned diners. 

Can't resist a Shirley Temple.

Turns out Owen loves pickles!
 I won't eat ANYTHING that a pickle has touched so I'd venture to guess he inherited that from his dad.

Forgive my sans makeup. Baby Duex still insists on making me sick.
And of course, our family picture wouldn't be complete without a little shifty eye from Owen. :-)
