Owen's 4th Bday: A Kid's Photo Journal

These are photos from Owen's 4th birthday party -- taken on Owen's own digital camera (thanks Uncle JT). I am not sure who took any of these photos, but I am sure whoever it was was no older than 6 years old! Enjoy!

Uncle JT is a talented artist. Among his crafts is photography. I link to his blog on the sidebar. In his blog he posts a new photo (or more) each day.

Last weekend, he and his Mom (who is visiting from out of state -- no, he doesn't still live with his Mom) agree to watch the kids while Scott & I went out for a date.

Check his blog for some amazing photos he took of Owen & Anna: http://eyedewstuff.blogspot.com/

Thanks JT!

Anna's 1st Haircut

I really want Anna's hair to grow out. But, I am haunted by Owen's mullet... so I agreed to get Anna's hair "trimmed." Really, she was a mess with her hair in her eyes all the time. Here's documentation:







Owen got his hair cut too. The lollipop is the evidence, if not the scowl!

A Visit with Santa

Thanks Aunt Denise

Aunt Denise came to visit and gave Mom and Dad a small break. A trip to the lake provided some time for photos!

Enjoy :)

WOW MOM

Who knew that "Owen" spelled "Nemo" -- in the dyslexic penmenship of a 3yo boy :)

Anna's First Birthday

Yes, Anna is now 1! We had a standard first birthday: the grandparents and aunt and uncles came to the house for the weekend. We had food and, of course, cake. Mommy was too crazed to make a cake herself, but we got a delicious and beautiful cake from the Swiss Bakery. We have some video from Anna blowing out her candles, but not any pictures!


To make the party authentic, we had balloons. Somehow, mid-party Owen "lost" all the purple (his favorite color) balloons. It truly is a mystery, but I imagine there was an unsupervised visit outside at some point. Luckily, there weren't too many tears about it... and we all still had a great time.
