Due in March!

If you haven't seen me lately to wonder if i've gained 10lbs...I have because (well, I like to say it's because of this) I'm 4 months pregnant with #2!  We've been a little slow to get the word out so i'm sorry about the late blogging.  Anyway, the due date per the first ultrasound is March 5th.  So, in my head, I do the math based on Owen's date of birth and +10days to equal a due date of around March 15th.  We'll see how fast this baby feels like entering the world though!  I have another ultrasound in a few weeks to find out if we're having a boy or girl, so I'll keep you posted!

Yay Labor day!

Owen and I enjoyed our Monday morning off (although I would have opted to sleep in past 5:58) so I thought I'd share some of the fun...

I got out of the shower to see this...hmmm, where's Owen?

I found him!  He loves emptying the laundry and is apparently pretty good at TPing too!

He also found a red tank of mine that he put on and wore for the rest of the morning-we'll try not to make borrowing mom's clothes a habit!

After ditching the red tank, we headed out to feed the ducks with Sarah and Syd.  Syd was more into making sandwiches for herself and watching the ducks.  Owen threw bites in the water for a while, but then thought eating it was a better idea too.  Sarah and I had fun feeding the ducks though!

Zucchini bread anyone?

Paul stayed a night with us on his way back to Indiana to start the school year-and brought us this huge zucchini from Stephanie's garden (his girlfriend).  Owen wasn't sure what to think of it, but we've grilled some of it and made 6 loaves of zucchini bread so far.  I shredded some and froze it, so we can still make 4 more loaves!!  That is one big veggie!  Thanks Steph!  And thank you Paul, it was so fun to visit with you!

Breakfast with Uncle Paul...eggs, toast and plums from Papa Bill's tree!

Goodbye summer!

The Felton fam finished off one of the last weeks of summer getting over colds, ear infections and fevers.  Silly me, I was under the impression that people don't get sick in the summer...huh.  We had an evening of renting a red box and having soups for dinner on a 90 degree Friday night, followed by a morning in urgent care.  Owen had double ear infection #4-poor fella.  

We are all healthy now and back into the swing of things.  I started school this week and am looking forward to classes/students that are already proving to be a challenge.  We'll see how I feel about them in a few months!  Owen started at a new day care and was ready to leave me in two seconds.  I had to go find him to say goodbye!  I'm very lucky that he makes leaving so easy for me.  He loves playing with all the kids and also loves that they have dogs.  It is a home day care 2 blocks from my school that some of the other teachers' kids go to also.  So far so good!

Western MT Fair

Ok, so we did actually go to the fair 3 times...gotta love the petting zoo though!  We went once with Char, Brynn and Ryan, then the next day with Gracie and Jenn, and again with Grandma and Grandpa!
Owen loved petting the animals, but he also managed to find rocks in the petting zoo and liked throwing them into the water trough.  He really grossed out some bystanders by playing in the water with his hands after the pig had just taken a little bath in it!  That's why they have hand washing stations right?!

Hood Canal

In July we spent a great week at the canal.  We had some really low tides that were fun for exploring, and Addy and Teresa came up to play too!
Owen carried around this poor starfish while we were exploring low tide.
Walking with Papa in the water-Owen tried really hard to bring in a buoy that was almost on the ground.  He and Addy thought they were balls!

WOW are we behind...

So, just because my posts may have fallen off the map for the past month, the Feltons have not.  I'll give you a quick update... Hood Canal, beautiful weddings, camping, visitors, the fair and playing outside!  We are headed to LA this weekend to visit Lis and that is the last of our travels for the summer.
Camping at the Felton field on the Clark Fork.

Here we are with friends at Angela Luck's wedding (Jenna's sis) at the Country Club.We took a day trip to Glacier with the Castro fam-4 adults, 3 kiddos, one car, 3+ hours (one way)-through car sickness, fear of heights and fairly happy kids, we had a great trip.  We saw mountain goats on our hike and beautiful views of Glacier Park.

We hit up free night at the Missoula Children's Museum-Jason and Brett had fun digging dinosaur bones with the kids!
 Jill and I took the kiddos, Owen, Maddie & Bailey to Kid Fest at the park-so fun, but they weren't sure about the giant frog!

13.1

Yesterday I did the Missoula Half Marathon that I've been training for.  I felt great, just tired after getting up at 4:05 for a 6am start time.  Brett and Owen were awesome supporters, showing up at various spots during the race.  Owen even had a "13.1 or bust GO MOM" muscle shirt on and loved running with people and clapping for them.  Ron & Carole were cheering me on throughout the race too, and Justin and Mya were at the finish line!  Thanks for the support everyone!

Yes, the shirt was puffy painted by Brett!
