I'm expecting another

Well, I've told my family, so I guess I'll make the announcement to the rest of the world. We're expecting. We're pretty excited. I'm only about 9 weeks along. The baby is due April 17th. I've been feeling pretty sick and tired and I can't wait to get that part over with.

Legos

It is so fun to watch your kids learn and grow. Owen has recently changed how he plays with his legos. He has started to figure out that he can play with them and build things without Mommy or Daddys help. He has started to figure out balance, although he still has a lot to learn. Daddy helped him build a tower the other night. Owen was so proud.

Sunday Clothes

Well I finally found some Sunday Clothes for Owen. After a diligent search I found them. What a cute little boy. Don't you think?

Diapers Everywhere

I decided to put Owen down for a nap later on Tuesday, but forgot to tell him to stay in bed. I heard him playing a little, but he was being quiet, so I took advantage of the quiet time and read for a little bit. Then I decided to go see what he was playing with. He had opened a new package of diapers and they were everywhere. Silly boy. I guess that will teach me not to just let him play quietly in his room.

Fun Weekend

Well, we had a pretty good weekend, and I thought I would share some pics. On monday we went to a pick your own orchard and picked peaches and pears. I didn't have my camera, but I sure wish I did. Anyway, all the trees were dwarf trees and less than 10 feet tall, so even Owen helped. It was pretty cute watching him pick peaches off of the tree and putting them in the basket. He was so proud of himself. I've been busy canning, so here is the "fruits" of our labors.

Also on monday it was a little breezy, so we decided to try and fly our kite. We got it up, but not usually for more than 10 seconds at a time. In Virginia, it is not usually windy except for during storms, so it is kind of hard to fly the kite. Owen sure thought it was funny to watch Daddy run and get it in the air. That night we also had Dutch Oven ribs and Owen really loved being outside and watching it cook just like Daddy. Tuesday we were able to go for a drive. We went through a bunch of small towns mostly within our ward boundaries. We drove down to Charlottesville and drove around there. It's been such a long time since we've been on just a drive. We used to do that a lot when we first moved here and gas was cheaper. However it was nice to get out of the house and away from all the mess. I hope everyone is doing well.

A day at the park

One day we decided to go to this lake park about 5 min. from our home. It's about the size of Rigby lake, but you are not allowed to swim. You can take paddal boats and canoes/rafts, or you can just enjoy the park. We had a picnic and played on the toys. There were a lot of Geese and Swans there. We had a pretty enjoyable afternoon.

The fire engine in the bubble wash!

Owen has been really super good lately (except naps) so we decided to reward him with a toy that I've been thinking about getting for him for awhile now. So yesterday we finally got it. It's a fridge magnet toy where you can put the magnets in the designated spot than push on them and they tell you what they are. Like red fire truck, or yellow car, and it sings a song. Leap frog makes it. They also have a word speller, a barn animals, and an ABC one. Owen loves it though. Thats all he's played with all day. It's pretty cute. He'll make is sing the song, and then he'll start dancing. It's sure fun.
