Ready for Christmas!

Well I was complaining earlier in the week and weekend that I was not ready for Christmas or decorating. I had no motivation to pull out the decorations for Christmas. This morning Eric went out hunting and Owen and I got enough energy to pull out the decorations and decorate the house. It looks pretty but I must say I am still not in the mood. I think its the lack of snow which I am very happy we don't have but it doesn't set the mood for Christmas very well. So I am sure I will regret this but a little snow would be nice... especially if its going to be cold.

I got most of my shopping done. A few more little things and I should be all set. I am not looking forward to any more shopping now that's its getting closer to Christmas. It just means lots of traffic and lots of lines. I have done most of my shopping on-line which works well.

Happy Birthday Grams and Nikki

Happy Birthday to Grandma (yesterday) and me today! I cant belive I am 25 today. I dont know why but that freaks me out.

Mom took Owen overnight (his first sleepover) on Friday and we ended up staying home and ordering food. Saturday Eric had to coach Basketball so we were out and about all day running errands after the game.

Saturday night Laura came over to watch Owen and we went out to dinner and a movie. We had a really nice time.

I got a new kitchen sink and a new toilet and flooring for our master bathroom for my Birthday. It looks so nice. Andy came and installed it all yesterday, of course something easy took longer than expected.

A True Boy!

Owen is definatly a true all american boy! He has so many bumps and bruises. He ran into the bathroom door frame and has a big bruise on his cheek. He has one under his eye too from trying to climb in a basket. Good thing he is tough. I will try and post a picture later today.

Go Pack Go...

Owens One Year Checkup

Owen had his one year check-up yesterday and they said he was "perfect".
He weighed 21# and was 30 inches. He barely made the weight to be transitioned to his big car seat (20# and 1 yr is the new law on that, were glad he made it).

I am so thankful that he is healthy and growing. We are so blessed. Every day is something new with him. He has his moms personality (YIKES, I know) he is very determined and doesn't like to be told "NO". He has 2 of the 4 - one year molars in and loves to have his teeth brushed. He tries to run already and usually ends up falling face first, but he doesn't cry he just gets back up and tries again...
