Half of October

here is what has happened so far this month....

Celebrated my mom's birthday. we went on a family bike ride. all her babies minues Kole, Luke and baby Will.

josh went out of town for a week for work so Owen and I went to visit Tyson and Amanda. Had a lot of fun just hanging out, visiting and playing with my boys! Owen learned to be tough with Lukey beating up on him!

Josh's friend Matt Ayers got married. Josh with Matt, Boe and Austin

my beautiful flowers from my Hubby that loves me a lot.

Grandma Jane's

Owen loves being outside! he can be fussy fussy for no reason and you step outside and he's as happy as can be. My mom has a swing hanging in her big tree and Owen can swing in it for hours if we let him. happy happy boy in the swing!

Skills

we went to our good friends sisters wedding this past weekend and Char and I wanted a pic together....well this is Josh's picture taking skills

fixing my hair

I needed to be scooted back...hello i look like a giant!

scary laugh

these were just a few of the pictures and we never did get a good one due to my camera died!
At least Charla looks pretty in all the pictures.

new and better

Remeber when i posted about how Owen was all about his Jumperoo? well Elena let us borrow their walker and it's now Owen's new and favorite thing! it didn't take him long to figure it out andd he has been zooming around our house all day.
he loves to go and look out the windows and to go into the kitchen and and pull open the drawers and stare at himself in the oven.

Tytan Connor

Tyson Willden and his new family moved to the Portland, OR area last week. He was nice and let Janie and Lance have him for the day/night right before they moved. So Josh and I went over and spent some much needed time with him. we haven't been able to spend timewith due to some family issues , so it was great to play and watch him be his silly self. he loves Owen and was all about what is Owen doing, Owen this and Owen that. So cute! he kept giving him kisses and hugs. it was just making me so happy that they have a close bond and hopefully even though tytan will be far away they can still grow up together and be best buds.

We will miss our tytan connor so much and hope that this move works out for tyson and his new family.

sad week

Owen has had a rough week so far. He got his first bruise on his cheek from trying to stand up in his crib he fell and knocked his cheek on the rail. because of that i kept saying that we need to lower his crib down and kept repeating it. Well today i put him down for his morning nap and i started mopping when i heard a thump! i ran like a crazy women upstairs and saw my sad baby screaming on the floor. He fell out of his crib! i called Josh he came home and we lowered the crib. i know it's not going to be the last of bruises and scrapes, but it makes me sad to see my baby get hurt.

slacker

I have been such a slacker on my blog and not because we have an exciting life. It's because i'm a mom now and too busy with my active baby.

josh- he got a new position in Gensco that he now is the territory manager sells Rep for the brand Rheem and American Stantard. He loves it and loves his new boss. he stilll is traveling quite a bit, but that's the job. and he drives a sweet new chevy pickup. besides work, me and owen that's all he has time for. Hunting season is coming upon us and he always makes time for that.

hilary- I spend my longs days with my sweet, crazy, busy baby. I haven't gone back to work. I am the maid/nanny/wife/teacher/nurse/mom and I love being all those things for my family. that's really all i have been doing! oh and trying really hard to lose my baby weight. i joined a great little workout class and really feel like that is doing the trick for me. slowly but surely it will happen.

Owen- read next post

Half Birthday.....6 months

Major picture overload of Owen, but that's what happens when I don't blog more often...enjoy

He turned 6 months on sept 9th and is such a fun easier baby now. His stats at his check up were
19.1 lbs(75%)
26.5 in long(50%0
44.5 cm head (90%)

So we have a big healthy boy with a head full of brains

before shots

he does this thing now where he will put a toy, bib or anything in his mouth and hold it there while he plays with something else with his hands.

he crawls. he started testing it out a couplf of weeks ago and each day then he gets better and better. the Dr. said that was advanced. that's our boy. haha

LOVES to read. this is the only time he will quite down and snuggle with me. He really does like when I read him books. so we read a lot! favorties right now are Brown Bear, moo baa lalala, pajama time. I have them memorized

another new thing his the sticking out of his tongue. so cute and funny.

he now likes to go to the store with me and rides pretty happily in the shopping carts and even his stroller! big improvement from when he couldn't even leave the house without his crying the whole time.

He now laughs at anything, loves to play, loves to take his surroundings in and can be entertained with a toy or us playing with him.

he now longer sits still

Owen is such an enjoyable baby now

His fun personality is really showing

he still has his fits, but I know how to handle it now

He usually takes great two naps during the day and sleeps great at night

LOVES his cereal and fruit twice a day.

We love our Owy!

GNO

My best girlfriends and I got together for our annual Girls Night Out! this is now the third year I believe that we have done this and it's great to get with my girls and talk about anything! I usually don't see Sierra, she was living in Utah and just moved to Boise, Tricia works all the time and not is a full time nursing student, I keep in contact with Jilly and see her here and there, but our lives are all so different and busy now. So this night is really nice to get together like old times and laugh! Sierra, Tricia, Jillyn and me

ps. Sierra was 5 days out to giving birth to her baby boy in this picture

crafty

I found a tutorial on how to make fabric flower clips. my plan was to make one to attach to some of my necklaces, but i ended up making two cute ones for two cute baby girls I know. it took me about 45 mins to make one, but it turned out pretty good.

A ton of new post below

fight fight BSU

football season has arrived and we are so excited. josh and I love to watch BSU games and spend the time with family or friends. i do love football season.

Our future Bronco!

Balloons

last minute on Friday we decided to go and watch the hotair balloons light up in the park. it was fun, but not as cool as i would have wanted it to be. it was nice to get out and do something different. us, my parents and elena with Boe came to enjoy the lights

Dirty Dash

I ran my first 10k run! wahoo! it was 6 miles of obstacles, lots of mud and mostly straight up hill! brutal! it was a lot of fun and i am so glad that Josh and Elena did it with me. I was exhausted and didn't do as good as i would have liked, but at least i finished with a smile on my face. next year will be even better.

the giant mud pit at the end of the race.

Grant, Owen and Boe. They as well got muddy


for the 3,500 people that ran it(not all at the same time) there was only a few freezing cold showers. It was suppose to be hot and sunny that day, but it was cold and over cast.

after the first real big mud pit it felt like you were running with ten pound weights in your shoes.

yummy corn

back in the day my mom would get together with her friend and they were make freezer corn. fast forwar several years and it's my turn to learn to make it. we had three LARGE bags of corn to peel, boil, cut of the cob, bag and freeze. Elena came over to get in on the corn party too. it was fun and easy. now Josh and i will have yummy corn anytime we want it.

My family

my cousin Susan was in town and took our family pictures.

For some reason they don't want to upload so i was only able to get these two
