A baby no more

My little boy, Owen, turned one yesterday!  It's been a crazy year and it seemed to have flown by way too fast.  We took Owen to a little children's museum up in Lafayette to celebrate.  His favorite thing there was a piano, he just lit up when he heard the noise he could make.  His least favorite thing was the sandbox, he started crying as soon as his little feet hit the sand.  Then we went back to Jarom's parents house where we had cake and presents.  These videos are hysterical since this isn't the usual Owen we know.  He looked at us like we were crazy people.  Riley wrapped one of his gifts and wrote such a sweet note to him (pic below).  He is such a joy in our lives and I hope he'll always be a mama's boy :)

A day at the park

It's almost always sunny here, and sometimes we even get days in the 60s like today.  I forgot to upload these pictures from a couple weeks ago.  Just a day at the park.

We've got a walker

Owen took his first steps a couple weeks ago, but this time he's getting braver and taking a lot more.  He gets super excited when he goes far and it's so cute to watch how proud he is.  He'll take the title for the earliest walker among the three.  Riley and Ella were about 13 months.  Owen's birthday is next Saturday :)

Blizzard 2012

Thursday night it started snowing, it didn't stop until Saturday morning.  We got just about 2 feet of snow!  I love how it's completely silent outside with the snow on the ground.  Saturday the sun came out again and the streets were dry and clear.  We went out into the backyard and couldn't believe how deep it was.  So here are some pictures from our winter wonderland.
