Father's Day Weekend

We had a relaxing Father's Day Weekend. Owen was not in the best of moods because of teething, but Gigi and Papa Bart managed to keep him distracted for most of the weekend. On Saturday, we did a little shopping and then spent the rest of the day at the home watching movies and playing.

Owen and Papa Bart

Owen loved playing in the tents at Pack Rat...

cool dude...

Of course Papa Bart and Gigi spoiled Owen with a trip to Toys R Us...

He loved playing on all the toys...

Owen and Papa Bart napping together... so cute!!

Owen was a big helper when it came to opening the father's day presents. He liked the cards so much that he took them to his room to keep!

We spent Sunday afternoon at the pool...

"they look better on me daddy"

Last Weekend...

We had a really busy weekend...it just flew by. Saturday morning started really early with a garage sale benefiting TEAMworks Ukraine. Everyone from Children's therapy TEAM donated items and we were able to use the old North Star building, which worked out great since is was 95 degrees last Saturday. We had a great turn out and a lot of volunteers...thanks to everyone that helped!

We had so many items donated that we separated everything into different rooms. This was the home decor room.

I had the early morning shift at the garage sale because of continuing education. We're starting a Constraint Induced program at the clinic so we were all practicing our casting skills. I'm so excited for this program to get started....it's going to be beneficial to so many of our kiddos at the clinic.

On Sunday we headed to the Naturals game for a Children's Therapy TEAM event. Dima threw out the first pitch of the game, so everyone from TEAM was there to cheer him on.

Dima...the all star

All the kids were holding signs for Dima...it was so cute!

Owen is still not a fan of Mascots...

All the big kids were eating snow cones, so Owen decided the he need one as well. He loved it!!This is a picture of Owen and Mary Claire after their snow cones....they had very colorful lips!

Memorial Day Weekend....

We had a very relaxing weekend! The weather was great and we definitely took advantage of it. We spent the majority of the weekend at the pool, grilling out, and working in the yard. It was great!!!

Owen got a lot of pool toys for his birthday and finally got to try them all out this weekend. He really liked driving his car around the pool...he thought he was such a big boy!

Loungin' with dad...

Owen and Aunt Amanda are big buds...

Owen loved playing with the net...it was great entertainment

Trying to blow bubbles...

I think he needs a few more lessons...he kept sucking in the water instead of blowing it out

Snack break....

The slide was a big hit! He would go down the slide, swim to the steps with daddy, and then run back to the slide to do it all over again.

I think we might have a little swimmer on our hands...

Happy Birthday!

We celebrated Josh's 28th birthday on Thursday with a picnic lunch and a concert at the park!

with Daddy...how sweet!

Owen was such a daddy's boy...it's like he really knew it was Josh's Birthday. He kept climbing all over him and giving him hugs & kisses!
I love this picture....




After Owen finished eating, he decided it was time to hit the playground. He would run to the playground and then turn around and look at us like "come on"...and then he would run back over to us. This went on for a good 5 minutes....Owen thought it was hilarious!




climbing....

and more climbing...

That night we headed back to Gully Park for the Big Uns concert. This was the first concert of the Gully Park Summer Concert Series and it was packed! We went to most of the summer concerts last year, but Owen was just a little guy and slept most of the time. But this year, he's old enough to really enjoy it! He didn't stop the whole time we were there....he ate dinner, danced, played with Honey, danced some more, climbing in/out of the chairs, played ball with some kids, and did some more dancing! We all had a great time!

I usually cook (which doesn't happen very often) or we go out to eat for Josh's birthday, but because of the concert I had to postpone the "birthday dinner". So...we celebrated Josh's birthday for 2 days and had his "birthday dinner" on Friday night. The menu: Steak, twice baked potatoes, bacon wrapped green beans, sauteed mushrooms, and chocolate pie. (Owen had grilled chicken and a low fat version on twice baked potatoes) It was delicious and we all ate way too much!

I forgot to take a picture of the pie so I borrowed this picture from Taste of Home....and to be honest, this one looks better, but mine was just as yummy!
