Halloween and Fall festivities

When asked what he wanted to be for Halloween owen said a FIRETRUCK. I suggested maybe a fireman...he said no. insisted he must be a FIRETRUCK. So here it is. Lots of spray paint, duct tape and cleverness. (i.e. the headlights are outlet covers!)

Owen's love of the weekend

I remember going camping as a kid and always meeting a boy to fall in love with for the vacation. This was owen's love. When he first laid eyes on her he watched her so intently he ran smack dab into a pole. They were immediately buddies after that. All weekend whenever he saw her he would get so excited and say "my friend" yeah....this was the cutest though.

A weekend of camping

Our friends Staci and Bill got married this weekend at Metzler Park outside of Estacada, OR. It was a beautiful park and lots of entertainment. Owen was in love with the freedom he tasted at the campground. They reserved an entire section of the campground so all the sights were friends or family. Lots of kids. Owen would just wonder around and find a "new party" to go play at. It was a good weekend and the weather was fabulous.

jason webley obsession

Owen has always had a strange obsession with Jason Webley. The other night we were going to bed and talking about everyone who was sleeping and he asked if Jason Webley was sleeping. Funny Kid he is! Now he wants to know if Jason Webley has a penis!



Owen would not let me play anything but this song by Webley for over a week in the van. And he made me play it REAL LOUD! Now he sings it!

Cathedral Park down by the river

potty time

it's funny when he tells me he has to "go now" I travel with a potty seat in my van! convenient! he will hate me one day for these posts!

Randoms and stuff....

Naked tool man! Couldn't resist! This kid is impossible to keep clothes on! I can't believe he does at school. So many pictures that I have of him this summer are not really appropriate to post because they all have some sort of nakedness in them.
The brilliant shirt is actually resting on my knees but it looks like boobs! ha. I laughed when I saw that. IT was a onesie that came in the store and i thought it was...BRILLIANT!
And now I don't remember what pictures I posted and what needs comments. so there ya have it

the goats..and ducks too

There are some sweet little goats on the way to the park by my house. Princess is the mama and Daphne is the little one. Owen is finally brave enough to feed little Daphne. He actually threw a fit the other day when I finally wanted to keep on moving on down the street because Daphne didn't want anymore food!
The white duck is pretty rad too! It's lopsided hairdo is pretty righteous! totally 80's little does the duck know it's now hip to be a flash back of the 80's!

Owen and his buddies

TJ's Alpha Mini Mart!!

TJ is one of Owen's favorite people. He has a mini market around the corner from my house and Owen thought he needed a live model in his wine display!

Oatmeal at Gravy

There is a restaurant on Mississippi called Gravy and they have delicious food...especially their oatmeal with the caramelized sugared rim...Of course I had no idea that is how it is served, but Owen loved it. This should be their advertisment for breakfast!
