Rollin' over

What an exciting night, Owen rolled over. He rolled from the front to the back and then got stuck like a turtle on it's back. He tried to continue butwas getting very tired. There was so much build up for it...mike and I were laying on the floor and he was trying so hard to get us and pumping and pushing and....finally. He got us! I took Owen to Mikes work yesterday to show him off to all the girls, finally. I felt horrible that Owen is 5 months old now and I just got around to taking him in. Of course all the ladies loved him.

These cats are soo very in love!

I left my camera in the car so i will add more pictures later. The other day he was staring at me in the car with this "I am sooo very sleepy" look. (Of course I waited til I got to a stoplight to take a picture, mom! By the next light he was zonked!)

I love the expression on finleys face. "That thing is so wierd!"

Owen's crib...

We put the crib up in my room yesterday to start transitioning him (and me) into sleeping in it. I put him in it to play a bit after we put it together. He enjoyed it! He took a couple of naps in it and did great. I didn't finish attaching the co-sleeper to my bed though and put him in the crib to sleep last night. I was not a fan of him not being visible from my bed. He has been waking up in the middle of the night again lately so I had to get up and try to coax himback to sleep. I think once he is sleeping through the night again I will be better with him sleeping in the crib. Until then...naps in the crib night time in the co-sleeper.

ok, really back to owen!

I have had an itch to go to the coast so we went Saturday to Astoria. I thought it would be fun to get Owen out on the beach and take some pictures. Feel the water and sand etc... he fell asleep on the way and didn't wake up! So we drove up on the beach and got out and played while he slept! I thought about it later that I should have gotten a picture of him asleep in the car and the beach in the background. That would have been funny for the scrapbook! "Owens first trip to the beach!" We took an interesting route to get to Astoria. We went up the interstate into Washington and took a ferry across the Columbia and it put us about 20 min. outside of Astoria. The ferry was a huge build up for very little excitement. We just missed it when we got there so we had to wait about 40 minutes. In this time Bethany was getting way too excited. She just thought it was the coolest thing ever. Kind of reminded us of Dr. Seuss's "Go dog do" (In a car on a boat on the water!!) All that anticipation and we were on the ferry for about 10 minutes! I was not aware of the fact that it was such a short ride until we got there and I myself was a bit let down! It was still fun. Bethany loved it! I took some great pictures with my film camera. I have not been using that nearly enough, it felt good. So basically we spent about 5 hours in the car and got out on the beach for 45 min. It started raining and we were hungry! I at least somewhat got my fix..kindof. I think we are going to go back when my momma gets here. (That is if you want to mom!)
We saw this truck and I had Mike jump out and take a picture of it with the Boondox Market in the background. We got busted taking the picture and the "kid" came over and asked "did you just take a picture of my truck?" quick to reply Mike said "no I have never seen a Boondox before, we took a picture of the sign!" What would he have done if we said yes, I wonder?! I think he had a gun in the back of his truck, it wouldn't in the least surprise me!!!

This picture is for you, Matty! I instantly thought of you.
