harvesting drift wood...

we have been getting our garden together and we are building a few "trellis" like structures to grow things vertically. The other day after mike got home i suggested we pack a picnic dinner and go out to the river and get some drift wood. it was a georgous day and finley had not gone to the river in a long time. win/win! we discovered that strollers are great for pilfering drift wood!!! and maggie is great for it too!

Bethany's soccer game

Bethany had her first game of the season last night. Owen loved to watch all the kids running around! Bethany scored a goal too! I am not sure the final score and I am not sure they were even keeping track. Bethany didn't know at the end. :)
He also go to see his big sis that he never gets to see. Of course I snuck a picture! This is Kaylie for those of you who do not know. She is 17. (the reason why we don't get to see her much!)
This little girl is the cutest. (the ref isn't bad either!)

Owen is sleeping on his tummy

I used to think that when babies played with their toes it was the cutest thing ever. I think that has shifted! I think it is now when babies sleep on their tummies and their bottoms are sticking up in the air. I had to attack with my camera the other night! How stinkin' cute is this?!

new addition to the family

NO I AM NOT PREGNANT AGAIN!!! We got new baby chicks! aren't they cuties?!

my new business

I have started making things to sell in baby consignment shops recently. Here is the latest creation. I ordered some tags with my logo on it and have business cards...all professional like! Here is a sample.

I have been making burp cloths and "starter kits" whick include a changing pad, 2 burp cloths, bib and a snuggli security blanket.

the train

I know this is totally out of order and random but these are a few pics from the train. Of course he made a girlfriend on the train! Shirley was a new attendent. This was actually her first trip. So we got special treatment because Owen is so cute!
I love the pic of Owen hanging out the train. If only he was waving!

catchin' up

This night shot of the bridge is from Becky's roof top. The view is really nice up there. We also got our hair chopped off. We felt sassy chik so this is the result!



We stopped at Mt. Shasta and took a rest to get Owen satisfied! I like this picture!

another round of photos from our trip to San fransicso

What are we gonna do without Becky? She was like our personal photographer when G-ma is not around!!! I absolutly love these pictures Becky. It was fun! Good work on the b&w with colored flower too! Love it!

back from the bay area

well there are so many pictures from this trip that i will have to post them in stages! A few of my favorites...the beach! Owen was inthralled with the sand. How cool it was to him! Here are a few.

going to san fran!

hey there, we are leaving today! Takin' the train to San Francisco! Sad day :( our beloved Becky is leaving us! On to a new adventure for her it is. We are excited to be able to help her and excited to take a juant down to San Fracisco! I have never really been there. Passed thru that's all. I am sure i will have plenty of pics to share! Until then...chow

Hey there fantsy pants

I made Owen a pair of pants this morning! I think they are pretty snazzy...only they need a bit of altering! Next pair will hopefully be a bit better. Oh well...a long shirt and no one will ever know!

We had a very busy and productive weekend. I found some great ornamental grasses on Craigslist and we went and dug them up and transplanted them in our front and side yard. Here is proof! Also my friend Becky that is moving to San Fran gave me a bunch of her plants so we spent some time digging and making all those plants happy too. (Thanks Becky! I love them and it was fun planting!) Here is the planter on the front porch...it isnt going anywhere. I retacked it with a bunch of nails and it is solid again!

Thanks G.G. Jean for the jammies you made Owen. He just wants to play peek-a-boo with the gown! It is really soft though and he loves it.










I also got my tattoo finished! Just in time for spring!
