Union Pacific Steam Engine 844





Guess who go to get up close and personal with a real Steam Engine train?

Union Pacific Steam Engine 844 toured through our area this weekend. We took Owen to see the parked engine on Friday night and then on Saturday, we drug him out of bed and took him to the railroad crossing to stand and watch the train go by. The look on his face was priceless. His eyes were huge and his jaw was on the ground as the train whizzed by us in about 16 seconds. When it was gone his phrase was "More train!" He has been telling everyone since that he saw a "BIG TRAIN!" Good times!

Easter Photos

You think some body had fun on Easter? I don't know if he had too much candy or what, but he sure was happy!















Grammy and Grampy came down for Easter lunch and brought this fabulous Elmo balloon that is bigger than he is!









These are the twins that Grandma watches a couple of days a week. Can you believe that they all three had color coordinated outfits? I promise, we didn't plan it.

Happy 2nd Birthday Owen


Today our sweet boy turned 2! In this video he is opening a dinosaur train. Video is complete with his best Dino "Roar!" We celebrated at home tonight with a cupcake cake (Elmo and Big Bird), his favorite meal (Meatballs) and presents. We had a great time. Here is a collage of all the fun!

Now...one quick story about how smart he is. Of course I think he's smart...I'm his Mom! I was getting the Easter stuff ready for storage and he asked to play with the colored cups we used for dying eggs. I walked away for a minute and he came and found me to show me what he had done. He put the appropriate color plastic egg in matching plastic cup (green eggs in green cup, blue in blue and so on). I was amazed!

We feel so blessed to be Owen's parents. We never forget what a miracle our family is. My prayer for Owen is that he grows up to be a man who loves God and whom God uses.

Thank you to all of you who love us and support us! We are overwhelmed when we think about how many people support us and love our little boy!

Easter Egg Hunt



We went to the Mayor's Easter Egg Hunt today and Owen had a blast! Owen hunted eggs. Each kid was given an egg crate and escorted into the hunting area to pick up a dozen eggs. Owen hunted with Hannah and as you can see from the video, he had so much fun, he wanted to throw the eggs back down so he could pick them up again. He got up close and personal with a fire truck. He went down a GIANT inflatable slide that looked fun from the ground than it actually was from the top (when he got to the top, his Daddy said Owen said "Momma").The Easter Bunny made an appearance but Owen wouldn't sit with him, but he gave him a high five and fist bump. Momma and Daddy ate hot dogs and he ate a WHOLE bag of HOT chips. They were too spicy for me, but he loved them! He fell asleep on the way home...he's still there now.
