Update/pictures

I am alive! LOL! Things have been a bit hectic here lately and I've abandoned my blog. Sorry! Here's a bunch of pictures that are totally out of order because, apparently, my blog is mad at me and wouldn't put them in the right order. Go figure.

This was Owen's first homework assignment. He was supposed to make a scrapbook page about him/his family. He put a picture of us at Disney, wrote his name, age and then "Love Mom"... all by himself. Awww.... What a sweetheart.


This is how his first day of Kindergarten ended. Yeah, totally not cool to end your first day of school in the ER :( He apparently had a great first day.... except at recess. It was time to go inside and he BOLTED for the road. His aide had to run after him and catch him. Somehow in that struggle (Owen was apparently PISSED that the aide caught him) Owen got his thumb hurt. He wasn't moving it so we took him to the ER for x-rays. They couldn't see a break but were concerned with all the growth plates that they could be missing one, since he still wasn't moving his thumb. Sooo.... they ended up putting him in a soft cast/splint thingy. The next day he went back to school but ended up pulling the whole splint/cast off about 2 hours after I dropped him off. Doh! So I picked him up from school and took him back to the dr. He was moving the thumb and there was no point in putting another splint on (because he wouldn't keep it on!) so we called it a day and said it's not broken. By Monday he was using it perfectly so it's okay now.


Here's how the first day of school started :) See, told ya they aren't in order. LOL!



A couple weekends ago we went to Cincinnatti and Columbus. Here's pics from the Newport Aquarium.

How tall Owen is...


Petting a shark. When he was done he said the "shark bit my whole arm!".... lol.... don't know where he got that one from but I can assure you- the shark did not bite him!


In the hotel room in Columbus


Couldn't not get a picture of this.... so cool! I gotta wonder how long it took them to build this?


Mid afternoon nap.... ah to be 5 again!


More pictures from the aquarium (again, not in order!).... a $2.50 bottle of water. Yikes! Had to take a picture just to have something to remember of that chunk of money. LOL!


Frogs!



Petting something.... can't remember what. Maybe a horseshoe crab or something?



This was weeks ago... I took Owen to a fair. He had a good time, but I was the only one with him and was on all the rides with him (except this one) so this is the only picture I got.


We also took him to a baseball game (I got free tickets from donating blood... woo!). He was pretty excited, but not too into the whole baseball part. He enjoyed the fireworks afterwards though.


He was watching all the vendors walking by selling stuff. He thought that was pretty cool and decided he wanted cotton candy. Yes, the kid who eats NO candy (except plain milk chocolate) wanted pure sugar. We got him some and..... he didn't really care for it. But at least it made it in his mouth!!


He decided to go for a vendor with a non-food item and got a giant hand ;)


And a random sleeping picture, because I thought it was cute.


Posting this now and will post another update in a different post....

You were in Columbus and you didn't even tell us? :( We were probably in Columbus the same day too....

And isn't the Newport Aquarium cool?

I texted you! You never got it? I thought you were just ignoring me... lol. We didn't plan on going there. We planned on just going to Cincinnati. But then on spur of the moment we decided to go to Columbus and spend the night so we could go to Easton the next afternoon. I texted you the morning we were in Columbus (which was a Sunday morning so I'm sure you all were getting ready for church and such).

Nope, I never got your text...did you text it to the right number? (8892 are the last 4 digits). LMAO, I'd never ignore something like that because I was the one that told you to go to Columbus!

We were in Columbus until way way way late that Saturday at the David Cook concert and Ohio State Fair. But we would have come back. And we could have shown you the new property too--it's not that far from where you were. :)

So, you'll just have to come back.

Yup, that's the sane weekend. I remember coming back home and reading you were at the concert.

It's not a horrible drive so I'm sure we'll be back ;)
