Owen

Awhile ago I added a post w/ a video clip titled "Meet Sweet Owen." Well, a few months later....and....this is my sweet Owen!

I think every mom takes these pictures at one point or another, and I am no exception to that rule!

Farm fun before the big party

On Aidan's birthday we had time to stop by Dad & Lynne's for a little while. Both of them were still at work, but the boys did what they could to get a start on the chores for them. As you can imagine--they're aren't the best farmhands just yet. It was a VERY windy day, so we didn't stay outside too long. Wade took both of the boys on 4-wheeler rides, Owen terrorized the chickens and Aidan visited with Cowboy and Cutter. Once Dad & Lynne were home, Aidan got to open his birthday presents from them as they weren't able to stay at Happy Joes too long. Aidan is now equipped to fish. Thanks for the worm farm, but good luck explaining to Aidan what it is that you want him to do with his 'wormies.' That conversation may break his heart, but he'll get over it when he catches a fish---but, then we kinda have to have the same conversation with him don't we? Enjoy the pictures!

Making birthday invitations

Before the party, you have to make invitations! This went well!

BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY! BIRTHDAY!

Our little leprechaun is four...I always thought it was a cliche, but I must've blinked! Due to the fact that the kitchen was non-functional and we were coming off a bad case of the flu (which Wade luckily escaped) we had Aidan's birthday party at Happy Joes in Burlington. This will probably be the last year that the grown-ups out-number the kids. Next year, we'll have to break down and do the dreaded 'kid party'. Aidan had a blast! Thank you to everybody, he is loved! On a side note, we got pulled over for a headlight on the way home. It was hard to explain to the state trooper why it was that we drove so far for a birthday party. Luckily, the truck was packed to the gills with pizza, presents and cake. He was pretty understanding after he looked in the back and saw Aidan with a balloon and birthday hat still on. Wade wouldn't let me ask the trooper to pose for a picture with Aidan. Fun-hater!
