updated remunds!

scarletts favorite thing at the park



Owen and the Panda
Owen has a problem with pulling scarletts hair. we have a lot of pictures like this. but what you dont see is the screaming aftermath. then we have to explain to scarlett that he cant control what his hands do, so she has to forgive him.

first day of school...doesn't she look happy!

sorry it has taken me months to updated pictures and such...i have been busy busy busy! but here are some long awaited pictures. owen is seven months old and is getting his first tooth. :( it has not been the most fun experience in the world. he id trying so hard to crawl, he can scoot pretty well. he started waving the other day but we havent seen that again since. he says da da of course. not ma ma though...that would be way too easy. he has mikes laid back personality for sure, and scarlett is my high strung princess...just like her mommy! scarlett just finished her school. her teacher told me that she was a great little girl, she was so loving to all the other kids and she is really smart. her new thing is puzzles. the twenty four piece puzzles are too easy so we have stepped it up to 36 pieces. a few funny stories. the other day we were walking out of the house and i was telling scarlett to hurry up and she said "ahhhh, this is ruining my life!" i was shocked. i said "who told you that?" she tlod me that a boy on tv told her that. thank you IKEA commercials! thats the one story that comes to mind, maybe i will think of more later.

in transition!

we are soon going to be selling our restaurant and condo. we want to move to a city...but we are not sure where. we are tired of owning a business. it was great and fun for the last few years but now we want to move on to other things...like a steady paycheck. i miss the city...so no matter where we go it will be a big city! another huge transition has been me working. i got a job as a receptionist, and i have not had a job in a year. i am missing my kids, but they are in good hands with my mom and grandma. and i get to see them on my lunch hour. i will only have this job until may so it is not that bad. owen is rolling over and laughing. scarlett is saying the funniest stuff...like the other day i asked her if she was getting sick and she said "No...Im dying!"she is so incredibly dramatic! just like me. i am still in school and it is killing me. i dont know why i took classes this semester. stupid stupid stupid! we are doing great and we cant wait to see where we will be in a year.

Willie!

Last night my parents got me mike ryan and krin tickets to go see willie nelson. it was awesome. he is a great performer. it was nice to get out with out the kids and have a good time. but as soon as it was over we rushed home to see their cute little faces. thanks dad and martha! Here are some pictures of our night with willie.

Ahh...Gangster!

My best friend holly got owen this onsie and one other one that he will wear when he is a little bigger, but i love them both. Also owen was a baby model for a local photographer recently. you can see some of the pictures at http://studiolaynephotography.com/ they are so cute.

A few of the many interesting outfits scarlett has worn lately!

Scarlett is really in to dressing up lately so i thought i would post a few of her favorite outfits.

i just got back from a long long vacation. i was gone almost two weeks by myself with the kids. mike had to stay home and work and i needed to get a break so me and the kids went to dallas to see some of my family that i havnt seen in 10 years or more, and then we went to my dads house to visit them and my grandparents. it was a lot of fun but i am glad to be home.here are some pictures from our trip.
here is scarlett looking for the car in the parking lot with her "binoculars"
here is owen on his first plane ride. notice the giant gash in his forehead...he scratched himself with his sharp talons.

this is my dad stepmom and grandpa at the sea center. owen was sleeping so that is why he is not in the picture.
this is my dad and scarlett at the beach.
here is owen, my handsome little man! and he has a little spit up to look extra adventurous.
we stopped by africa on our way to houston and took a picture by an elephant really quick before he charged us.


these are my cousins boys and my kids. owen and rhett are the only ones that like to pose for the camera...the other two only like to make silly faces...so i took what i could get. the the bottom picture is scarlett and rhett. ha ha.
here is scarlett in owens carseat. it was so funny to just see a head sticking out.
this was on our way to dallas, we are in my parents RV. it was a great way to travel with little kids. however i have a tip if you ever travel in an RV:hold on to something if you feel the need to stand up while the RV is in motion...or you will get bad bruises all over your body.

cute scarlett and owen pics.

We just got a new camera so we took scarlett to the park the other day and took some pictures of her. it was freezing so we only stayed for ten minutes...maybe. but it was a fun ten minutes. then she went home and went potty(she is going to kill me for posting that picture someday) and then she took a bath. these pictures are here to document two hours in the life of scarlett and owen. he slept in his car seat the whole time we were at the park, so there aren't any pictures of him. but we did get bath pictures!
