Playing Catch Up!

Well I have done a horrible job of keeping this caught up!!! A lot has happened since I wrote last.

Saturday the 18th we had Owen's first birthday party! He had a lot of fun and LOVED eating his cake!! He just about ate the whole thing. It was funny after we blew out his candles and he was eating his cake, he kept blowing like he was blowing out the candles. It was very nice having all our family and friends there.

On Tuesday we did Owen's first birthday pictures. They turned out very nice! He did a very good job.

Wednesday the 22nd was Jerrod and Owen's birthdays. We didn't really do a whole lot, but Owen did get to eat some more cupcakes! I made Jerrod an apple pie, and Owen cupcakes.

Thursday the 23rd was Thanksgiving, or as Logan says "Happy FirstGiving!" We went to Joplin and went to 3 different places!! We went to the farm, then to Karen and Drew Talbots - where Owen took 5 steps!! His most ever! After that we went to Karen's house. It was a long day. Unfortunately Owen woke up not feeling well. He was very congested and coughing and just didn't feel well at all.

Yesterday we went to Bolivar for Thanksgiving. Owen still didn't feel the best. However, he got very excited when Heath brought their puppy over!! He was giving Owen kisses and he loved it! On the way home, Logan was wanting a candy cane. We told him he'd have to see Santa to get a candy cane. He is extremely scared of Santa right now. So he decided to devise a plan to get his candy cane. He told Daddy, Daddy will go to see Santa and Logan will stay with Mommy, and then Daddy will bring Logan the candy cane! Pretty clever!
