It's a GIRL!!!!

Everything looks great with our Baby Girl!!!!! She is so precious already and is a little firecracker...when the ultrasound tech tried to get pictures of her she would turn and move so here is the best profile pic we got. :) You can also see the umbilical cord and the curled part is some of the placenta.

Another pic of her moving but you get to see some hand and leg...
It's a GIRL!!!!We are 20 weeks and at the half way mark. April 3rd is still the due date and everything looks fantastic!!!!!

Christmas Cards!!!!!

I LOVE this time of year! Mostly because it's time to start thinking about Christmas cards. I pick out my favorite Shutterfly Photo Christmas card, coordinate our outfits and find a great place to take the picture... so when it's all said and done, the card is perfect! I order pictures through Shutterfly all the time for Owen's many pictures and have done numerous photo cards for Mother's day, birthdays, etc. The quality is amazing and I always get compliments on how cute the designs are. Shutterfly has a new 2010 holiday collection that is ADORABLE!!!

It's such a hard decision to make because they're all really cute! In addition to the cards, I also love putting picture books together. I need to finish one on Owen before baby #2 gets here.

This year we also decided to do Wall calendars and a Giant Wall Art of Owen to put in his room through Shutterfly. The calendars are SUPER cute and really easy to put together and they make GREAT Christmas gifts!!!!

Fun with Campbell

A couple weeks ago we had a lunch date and played at the park with my good friend Megan and her baby girl, Campbell or as Owen calls her, "Bull."

Funny Pictures from my phone

Here are pictures that I have taken with my phone from early summer to now. These pictures really capture Owen's little personality!!

Below we are waiting to eat lunch at Scotti P's with Nana & Aunt Jenn. He was about 11 months in this picture.
Trying to go out the doggie door after our dog Big Suzie. He does not attempt this anymore because I finally let him try to do it and he got stuck half way and has not tried since. WHEW!
Early June swimming in the backyard. He looks so little here.
Our first ouchy.....I tried running with Owen in the jogging stroller
Playing with his buddy Buz.
He LOVES lawnmowers! If ANYONE on our street is getting their lawn mowed, we go "Oww" outside and watch the ENTIRE lawn get mowed and then we can go inside.
Waving at Daddy at his 1st football scrimmage this year. It was hot so Owen grabbed his shirt and said, "off." TOO CUTE!
12 month picture I got from Greg while I was away at a bachelorette party.
Eating a cupcake on his birthday!
Everyday we go on at least 4 or 5 walks around the ENTIRE neighborhood. We now know ALL our neighbors and dogs. :)
Owen's new spiderman shoes that light-up when he walks.
Playing at McDonalds.
Storytime Friday mornings at the Library. She reads for an hour but we have only sat through 3 books so far (about 15 minutes).
Owen is obsessed with tools especially drills! We got him a work bench and he LOVES it! Yes, the drill is in his LEFT hand!!!!! SUPER excited about having another southpaw in the family! Gotta start working on his swing!!!!

Playing at the park by our house. He wanted to climb up this part of the playground sooooo bad!Reading his FAVORITE book! Sesame Street!
Lifting weights like my Daddy!

Then and Now

Below is Owen's 1st MAC football game last year.

Here is the family this year at the 1st MAC football game. He has gotten SOOO big!!!

New Fun Pic's

Below is a video of the day Owen called 911. I have Pandora playing on my phone and he was carrying it around and somehow unlocked my phone and called the Police! AHHHH!!!! I felt so silly when the Police called back and asked if there was an emergency and I had NO idea what had happened.
