Summer Nights...

Owen has become really vocal lately and loves telling us what he wants..."outside" and "ducks". We have a neighborhood pond and Owen loves going over there to feed the ducks. He runs to the door and stands there saying "outside", "outside", "outside"...so it's become our nightly ritual to go feed the ducks after dinner.

"come on"



Owen really likes to throw the bread to all the ducks...but sometimes he holds it a little too long and the ducks get too close for comfort.

Owen wasn't ready to go inside after the pond, so we went on stroll around the neighborhood and ended up at the park


Our little monkey....




After the park, we headed home for some watermelon...

Owen use to just suck all the juice out and then throw the watermelon on the ground...but he's now decided that he actual likes to eat watermelon

Haircuts

The whole family got haircuts on Friday. Owen was starting to sport a mullet...so a haircut was desperately needed!! This was Owen's first trip to the salon and he was curious about everything, especially the dryer that mommy had to sit under.


Owen was really good at the beginning, he just sat there eating his fig newtons but then....


he started moving....

...and decided he was done getting his haircut!


After the haircut fiasco, we headed to chic-fil-a for a mommy and son date night. Owen ate almost half of a char-grilled chicken sandwich and a whole fruit cup (except the apples)...which was great because he hadn't much of anything all day. We Love Chic-fil-a!!!



He looks like such a big boy with his new haircut!


and we couldn't leave without checking out the playground...

Owen loved climbing through all the tunnels

and going down the slide...

More Fun in West Memphis...

We spent a lot of time visiting with family and friends while we were in West Memphis...and a lot time in the pool because it was sooooo hot! Owen also attended his first t-ball game and even got to "play"! He thought he was one of the big kids!
Emma Gayle's biggest fan...


Emma Gayle up to bat and Owen taking lessons

out there with the big kids...



more interested in Emma Gayle than the game...



After the game, we headed to the pool the cool off! It was Owen's first time in the pool this year and he had a blast! I forgot to pack bathing suits, so he just wore a little swimmer... I know, a little ghetto, but who cares!!




On Sunday the kids enjoyed playing in the baby pool and on the slip-n-slide...

Owen and Watson trying out the slip-n-slide...

Josh couldn't resist...
Watson loved sitting in the water

Owen really liked the baby pool, but didn't
like going under


eating watermelon...

Graduation...

My sister graduated from high school a few weeks ago....so we went on a family road trip to West Memphis. This was Owen's longest road trip since Christmas and he was not a fan! By the time we got to Conway, we had to stop and let him get out. He RAN around Old Navy for about an hour, had Chic-fil-a, and then slept for last 1.5 hrs of the trip.
Graduation was on Friday night. It only lasted about an hour and afterwards we had a family gathering to celebrate. Owen did pretty well during graduation and only yelled out a few time, but luckily it wasn't during the benediction given by Aunt Anna.

"I'm ready for graduation"



If you look really close, you can see Anna getting her diploma...


Owen watching Aunt Anna graduate...

Animal crackers were a great distraction...

own hats, but he love this one...
