Fall Fun

"Swing, Swing, Swing, Swing..."  Owen sings this and swings his arms back and forth when he wants to swing

Thoughts and Prayers

Over the span on one week, my friend Kelly went to the doc for headaches, had an MRI, and yesterday had surgery to remove a brain tumor.  The surgery went well, and she'll be recovering for a while, but any extra positive thoughts and prayers that you could send her way (to Spokane) would be appreciated.  She is a super mom to 3 darling kids and has a great husband too.  She and I were roommates at Gonzaga and in the special ed program together.  Here is the link to her blog for more updates on her and a glimpse at their cute family.

Tonka commercial??

Thanks for the truck Jeff & Lindsey!  Owen is still enjoying it and will be for a long time.

The marriage wall...

I finished this project about a month ago, but it has been in my sights since Brett and I got married (four yrs ago).  I know it doesn't look like a "four years in the making" project, but, it took me that long to finally do it.  BF and I are in the middle at our wedding and on either sides of us are wedding pics of our parents and grandparents.  We feel blessed to be able to have such a symmetrical display-thanks for the great role models families!

Boxes are so fun!

Why buy any toys, when all the fun you ever wanted is in a box?  The inserts make nice bracelets, a box is a great place to sit, and a few boxes make the best drum set ever (except for uncle Eric's).

Happy Halloween!

My parents were here for the weekend and we had fun dressing up Owen and passing out candy (until our doorbell was still ringing at quarter to 10!).  Owen was two different clowns-one that Brett wore and the other that I wore.  Mya came over and the Dads took the clown and the flower to 2-3 houses on the block for trick or treating.  Owen was much more interested in wearing Mya's flower hood than she was, but they had a good time and crashed about 30 minutes later.
