Caitlin

I've worked with Caitlin for a few years and she is one of the funniest kids I know. She came over today to hang out with Owen and I and the kids had a great time!!

Caitlin LOVES the cats. She and Owen went on a search of the house to find them and they were not suprisingly hiding in his top bunk. The kids crawled up there and the cats were thrilled as shown by the look of pure joy on Num Nums' face :)

Owen and Caitlin hanging out in the kayak in the garage. Caitlin looks likes she's lounging while Owen gives her a ride.

As much as I wasn't onboard with getting the kayak, it has been so much fun! We've taken it out on two lakes around here and Owen and I sit in the back while Bryan rides up front. That way he can't tell when we aren't paddling.

Back due to popular demand

Allright, allright!!! I've gotten lazy but here's some recent pics...


We got a new Sleep Number bed and Owen likes to make people lay on it to find their "number". He also says that the cats get sleepnumbered because FC constantly sleeps on it.


It even happens to Owen. You can't tell by the picture but he and Fat Cat have turned into best friends. She'll come curl up next to him and show her big old belly and meow until he pets her. A HUGE change from when not to long ago she would run at the sight of him.


Owen learned that all you need to fly is two pillows, a bungee cord and your Dad.


Owen was obsessed with Bendaroos from seeing the commercials before Christmas. Of course I couldn't find them but we ordered some off of the internet and he loves them. And speaking of commercials, Owen is the ultimate consumer. He thinks I need a Snuggie (you don't have to keep turning your heat up!), Rosetta Stone (he wants me to learn chinese), to send in all my gold for cash (it's FREE mom!), and that over the shoulder purse so I'll always know where everything is in my purse.


Bryan gave Owen a haircut. Way to go Dad!! I hate paying money for his haircut since it really should be easy to do. So I got out the clippers and was going to take him out on the back porch and de-fluff his hair. Bryan told me to give them to him (with some authority), so I wrongfully assumed that he knew what he was doing.


Owen's new favorite food is pressed ham. And that is one good looking gold shower door!


We got to meet sweet baby Preston though he looks a bit camera shy here.


Num Nums was de-clawed (don't judge!!!) and has been bitter ever since.


Owen had a respiratory virus and we were stuck at home for 5 days!!!! I don't do well at home 24/7 and we are thankfully back to our old routine.


And now he's better and crazy as ever!
