January

While looking for pictures to post I realized I only took a handful. So, just a few pictures to show a little of our lives.

Owen discovered that he could climb on/in the dishwasher and now I can't do the dishes without him "helping" so they usually get done while he is eating or sleeping.

playing in the snow.
Owen didn't want to walk in it he insisted on crawling or sitting in it.

When we had the huge rain storms it decided to come in.
Nothing to major My dad was able to come help us caulk the roof. there was some shingles broken so the water was getting blown under them. Now we get to wait until it clears enough so we can get a new roof. oh the joys of home ownership!

DECEMBER- Owens 1st birthday and Christmas

We had lots of fun celebrating Owens Birthday we started the day by getting a Christmas tree. then we had family over to help celebrate. He was a little overwhelmed but not to bad. He however was not interested in the gifts but in all the camera's that were there.


He left his unopened gifts to go after grandma's camera
The Cake

Owen is a great joy to have around. Completely opposite of Cooper in almost every way. He is a fighter and a adrenaline junky. If papa is not throwing him around then he is squawking at him. He is going to be the child that tests my patience and nerves his whole life. but we love him.

Happy 1st Birthday!!


Christmas things


On the way to get the Tree
the first time getting to ride forward. he loved it and "talked" the whole way.


"Take my picture to mom"

This year we decided to try someplace different to get our tree. We went to the BLM. it was a place up by Noti Oregon. mostly a tree farm in the mountains. Not the greatest to pick from. Next year we are going back to Forest land.
the boys did have fun and it was sunny so it was a great.


Gingerbread houses

It was so fun to watch Cooper decorate his house. It reminded me of when my family would all get together at grandma and grandpa jones and decorate and how after the kids were done we all got put in the downstairs room and we weren't allowed to come up until the adults were done.


Owen just ate graham crackers

All done. Notice the bulge in his cheek? yep that's candy!
(sugar quota went out the window that night.)
Our families
Cooper, Chris-the house from"UP" and mine I did a camping scene

Christmas Morning


Gifts from Santa
we had a great Christmas spent in Lincoln City with Chris' side of the family. Lots of good food and family. I really love the holidays and can't wait to get to do more fun things as my kids get older.
