Happy 4 Year Anniversary !!

So Mitchell and I have been married for a whopping 4 years now. It feels like it has flown by but it also feels like an eternity and I can't remember what life was like without him in my life. All I know is that I'm glad we have an eternity more to keep making memories because these past four years have been a blast. 

So I am off on my monthly updates for Owen. So here is just a quick recap of some of the highlights of the past few months. 

We went to Galveston and enjoyed the beach and have been dreaming of going back ever since but haven't managed to find an opportunity quite yet. Owen loved the ocean and had no fear running into the waves. 

We visited Mitchell at work and walked around the Water Wall just outside. Also toured around the Galleria for the first time. I definitely want to go back and ice state sometime when I'm not all pregnant. 

This is how my son used to behave on our shopping adventures. Now he just whines and whines unless I give him food and if he gets full or runs out then he just screams and screams and tries to crawl out. 

We gave Owen his first major haircut. I really didn't want to but he was getting a pretty bad mullet in the back. I tried to hold Owen still while Mitchell did the cutting. Addmittedly we are not professionals and who know that the setttings on a beard trimmer are different than hair clippers. Needless to say I bawled my eyes out as I watched the hair fall into the sink. 

Before

After

I have been working on many different projects on the house but this has been one of the most relaxing and fun ones. Once Jamison is born and inherits Owen's bedding then I am converting his room into a galaxy far, far away. 

We bought a fire pit to enjoy on the weekends. 

Owen sometimes tries to use the dog door and gets stuck just like the classic story of Winnie the Pooh. 

Here is another classic Owen story. 

Owen loves running around outside even without shoes or pants on. 

And of course the Fourth of July! We journeyed down to Friendswood to spend the day with the Cobbs. Saddly they are moving to St. George in a week and that will be our last adventure with them for a while. Owen had a long fun day and decided he didn't really need to nap because he was having so much fun. When it came time for fireworks he enjoyed them for maybe 60 seconds before he started crying. Then about 60 seconds later he was fast asleep on his dad's shoulder. 

Mitchell is the only one that can get him to fall asleep like this anymore. He loves his daddy that's for sure. 

I tried an activity I found on Pinterest for toddlers. You are supposed to put paint in a ziplock bag for mess free painting. Let's just say it lasted 10 seconds before Owen was bored and ready to do something else. FAIL. 

But when all else fails my little buddy is always willing to help me water the lawn. We do not have a sprinkler in the back yard so I do it the old fashioned way with the hose. Both Owen and Shadow love running in and out of the water as I go.
