Pee Pee in the POTTY!

Yes, I did post a picture of Owen next to his potty!  I have seen

people make fun of other parents for doing this (myself included)

however, it was too exciting and such a big moment that I had to 

capture it!  I'm pretty sure this was just as case of 'lucky timing'

but none the less, Owen, at 23 months, went potty on the big

boy potty!  We are so proud of you!

Just Like Daddy

Last Thursday morning, while mommy was on her way to work

Owen and Daddy were working on their pushups.

Bonnett Family Christmas Part 1

Last weekend we headed to Beaver Dam to celebrate Christmas

with Brian, Melinda, Nathan, Emma, and Samuel. They came up

early before the arrival of baby boy Bonnett in January.  The kids

all had so much fun together and it really helped kick off the

holiday spirit.

Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving

This year we spent Thanksgiving at my parents house. Owen

and I spent the entire week there while Jordan went deer hunting

and worked until he joined us on Wednesday night.  We had a nice

time getting to visit with family all week and going to see the 

trains in Geneva.

Playing "peek" with Nana

This was new for Owen. He had

a piece of apple stuck between his

2 front teeth, so who better to floss it

 out than dental hygentist Yaya!  He 

had no problem laying down for her and

letting her floss away.  He even asked for

more the next morning!

Family Photos

We took a few shots meant to be pictures for our

christmas cards, but never quite got it right. I really

liked the ones below even though we didn't use them

for the card.

Owen really likes family kisses and hugs so I have 

wanted to capture this moment!

Thanksgiving Day

favorites!

Horsing Around

Earlier in the week my Aunt Cathy and Cousin Michelle 

came to visit. Aunt Cathy just loves to play games with Owen.

She showed him how to gallop like a horse. Here they are eating

"hay" from the trough.

Turkey Dinner

22 Months Old

This video really captures Owen and his interest

these days.  He loves trains so much that he talks about

them in his sleep and "choo choo" is the first

thing we hear over the monitor in the morning.  Jordan

and I will race to the train tracks every time we hear 

a train whistle so he can see the real thing (we get

pretty excited too!). Mommy adjectives to describe him:

The 3 S's - Smart, Sweet and Strong-Willed :) 

Happy Halloween!

Our train conductor was ready to go this weekend.

Grandma Bonnett found the perfect set of overalls

and hat for Owen costume this year.  She even sewed

the adult size hat to fit his little head!  Owen loved

to hear that he was going to be the driver of his 

favorite train - Emily!  We had friends and neighbors

over for chili and snacks and then we headed out

for trick or treating.  Owen really seemed to enjoy

it this year and said "more" after we left each house.

Jordan and I enjoyed every minute of watching our 

little man run around the neighborhood collecting

his treats!

A little practice dress up for Halloween

Talk, talk, talk

Owen just walks around the house all day talking.

The other day he was describing what Papa's new

corvette sounds like. Ever since our fire alarm when 

off one morning (because of a short, not a fire) Owen

will repeat the sound over and over.  

A Picking We Will Go, Again!

Last Saturday, my parents came up to spend the day

with Owen and I while Jordan was up North having

a boys weekend. With the record warm weather we 

headed to Elegant Farmer to show Papa and Yaya 

how we pick apples.  We had so much fun picking

apples, eating apple cidar doughnuts and going on

another hayride!
