Happy Birthday Campbell!

Fun times at Chuck-e-Cheese for Campbell's 2nd Birthday!!

working on winning more tickets...

Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you....

Campbell wasn't too sure about this ticket game, but was a trooper and decided to try it with big sister Charley!

Sunshine House Anniversary

Our daycare celebrated their 5th Anniversary with a party at Chuck E Cheese!!

The kids had a blast!

They all seemed a little surprised that all their friends and teacher were there.

Owen and Daddy doing a little racing!

This was Ava Kate's first time to experience Chuck E Cheese.  She was a little overwhelmed at first but warmed up fast!

Ava Kate and her buddy Graham loved climbing the stairs and going down the slide!  

A little more competition between Owen and Daddy...

I think Ava Kate loved skee ball as much as her mommy!

One of Owen's favorite games at Chuck E Cheese....

Busy Saturday...

Another busy Saturday...We kicked off the day at the ball park with Miracle League. It was a gorgeous day with lots of sunshine and very excited ball players!

We had two birthday parties to attend after Miracle League. The first one was at Chuck E Cheese, which made Owen super excited! When I asked him if he wanted to go to a party at Chuck E Cheese, he started yelling "Yea"and jumping up and down.

Running in with the present...

Chuck E Cheese singing Happy Birthday to Austin....

While everyone else was singing Happy Birthday to Austin, Owen was singing Happy Birthday to Emmie..Ha! Poor thing still thinks that "Emmie" is the only name that goes with that song...

And a party wouldn't be complete without a few bites of birthday cake...

After all the birthday festivities, Owen went straight for the games!

I finally dragged Owen out of Chuck E Cheese and we headed straight to the second birthday party. Josh decided to sit this one out (apparently the yard needed to be mowed) so Owen and I were on our own. Between snuggling with the birthday boy and keeping up with my wild child...I didn't get very many pictures

Blake was loving his new bubble machine....

Birthday Celebration continued....

We celebrated Owen's Birthday as a family on Friday. Josh and I took off to spend the day with him and Papa Bart came in town too, so he got to spend the day with us as well. We started the day off by sleeping in and eating yummy (low-fat) cinnamon rolls for breakfast. Then we headed to the Library...

This was Owen's first trip to the Library...and he did seem to care much for the books. He picked up a few, but preferred to play with the puzzles and the computers. I think he may associate books with bedtime! Ha!

He liked playing the toddler games on the computer, but he was not a fan of wearing the head phones. He would put them on for a few seconds (at most 1 min) and then pull them off again.

We ended up checking out quite a few books....and Owen was all about the check out process. He only read a few books while we were at the Library, but really enjoyed them at bed time that night.

After the Library, we head to Lofin Joes for lunch and then to Orange Leaf for some frozen yogurt. The "ice cream" was Owen's favorite!!! He picked out his own flavors and all the toppings...luckily he still thinks that fruit is the only topping you can put on ice cream!

He chose chocolate and strawberry ice cream and pulled the lever himself....

diggin' in...

and the sugar kicks in...

We ended the day at Chuck E Cheese's! This was also Owen's first trip to Chuck E Cheese's...and he was a little overwhelmed at first. He walked around staring at everything with his mouth wide open for the first 10 minutes....and then he jumped right in! Luckily Papa Bart and Gigi were there to help keep up with the "wild man"!

We played for a little while and then took a break for some pizza and juice!

Owen attempting to play skee ball...

Then he figured out his own way to play....

This was one of Owen's favorite games....and he was really good at it! Josh showed him how to do it the first time and he caught right on. He won every time without help! As you can tell from the picture, it took a lot of concentration!

Owen really enjoyed this one! He was too short to pedal, so daddy helped him out!
