Owen is Five Months Old!

Owen is officially 5 months old today! And what a day it has been. We woke to over 2 inches of snow this morning - almost unprecedented to have that much snow this late in March. But after the February we just had obviously precedent has nothing to do with this winter! We had been enjoying Spring and even had a visit from some Mallard ducks looking for a nesting spot. They didn't stay long in our yard with the cats prowling around...

Colin has become quite the photographer. He took this picture of Owen and me the other day and it turned out so well I decided to show off his skills!

This week has been a tough one at our house. Colin's monster cold became a household cold and even little Owen caught it. We're hoping we are all feeling better by next week for Easter.

Kiss Me, I'm Irish!

Here are some photos of the boys this morning before they headed off to school and the sitter, respectively. They were both decked out in green and looking forward to the fun day!

Owen has officially rolled both front to back and back to front now. He was showing off his skills to us last week! We are excited he is finally starting to get some mobility. We look forward to him being able to crawl around and follow his big brother Colin!

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Family Time

Several of you ask for "family pictures" and I'm sad to admit we never take enough of them with all of us together. But here is one from last weekend! Plus a cute shot of Colin and of Owen. The sun is shining and although we're still way below average for this time of year we are hopeful spring is coming!

He said WHAT?

"Sometime we should make Banana Fosters. They are cool because you get to light them on fire."
"He's my assistant." (talking about Owen, of course)
(When talking about exotic animals that were coming to summer camp) "I wonder if they will be alive or dead."
"It would be nice if we could find a short trail that leads to Jackson Hole."
Colin: "Mommy, guess what we found?" Mommy: "What?" Colin: "NOTHING!"
"Life is good when you have Candy."
"The Earth is as strong as a hundred million elephants!"
"Let's go be entertained."
"Is Limbo a big city?" (we were talking about something being stuck "in limbo" and Colin asked this question)
When asked who won the Oxford-Cambridge boat race Colin said "The yellow team won, the one daddy LOVES!" (Oxford)
"Owen, let's go back to the holo-detector!" (referring to the closet)
"Don't see that on Animal Planet."
"Did the sky scrape all of the clouds away?"

"Nevermind. Blah Blah Blah Blah."
"Put a Hair Pony on her Mommy." (talking about a pony tail)
"This (Ice Cream Sandwich) should do the trick."
"If you get hurt you need to kiss yourself to make it better."

"Mommy, am I doing tummy time?" (while lying face first in the snow)
"Toxic Moron" (an Oxymoron)

"Don't do that. If you do it again you're going for a time out."
"Where was this rocking chair made? Was it made in China?"
"I'd rather be playing football (English football = soccer) but it's so cold outside I have to shovel instead."
"I can't wait until I can swim again. I want to dive right in."
"Can we play these? I think we have time. Let me check the clock."
"Mommy, do you still have the hug that I gave you last night?"
"I'll be back in a jiffy pop, so I don't need a coat."
"I think all three fire engines have to go to the fire because they can't stay home alone."

"You should have two drills in case we meet a goat."
"We don't need my juice if we have a goat."
"Awww...Could we keep him (Owen) until winter?"
"I've been diving for that at Costco." (when receiving a helicopter from grandparents for his birthday, one he's been dying for at Costco)
"My diggers are not going to work on my birthday because I'm going to be at Chipotle"
"We could just make time to do it then."
"Mommy, why do you say "No" all the time?"
"That's the biggest digger I've seen in my whole life!"
