My Little Sports Enthusiast

OK, so I don't know if it is just a boy thing or what, but my child is OBSESSED with all sports related materials. He has always loved all his balls, throwing them catching them, etc., but now he has learned to hit them. He first started with a baseball bat. Now he loves to hit balls with his golf club and his hockey stick! I don't know, but I think I am going to have a pro athlete of some sort on my hands!!! We are going to start him in hockey as soon as he turns 3 (yes we checked, they start them at 3...crazy right?), but until then we are going to look into soccer! We are also looking for some swimming lessons and maybe a little gymnastics for the summer! James isn't too excited about the gymnastics, but I think it will be fun for him at 18 months! Here are some shots of my little guy in action!

This is a video of Owen playing with his golf clubs for the first time! He is a one handed golfer right now, but Daddy is trying to teach him how to use both hands! I am thinking we might have a future Tiger on our hands...what do you think?

Mother's Day Weekend

Mother's Day was just wonderful! Here are some pics from the day...

On Saturday we took Owen to Taste of Addison for some great food and fun!

Owen thought he could drink this big cup of lemonade just like he drinks out of his sippy cup!!

Needless to say it ended up all over him!!

This is a video of Owen jammin to the band playing at Taste of Addison! Turn on your sound...

BIG boy, BIG buy!!

I just wanted to share some stats with everyone that Owen recieved at the doctors on Monday! He is 29.5lbs which is in the 94th percentile for his age and he is off the charts in height! He is 33 1/2 in. tall! My big boy just keeps growing and growing! Since he is now so mobile with the walking and all, we are having so much fun! It is like a whole new big wide world out there for him! He doesn't care to be carried much any more, hates to be in the stroller, and doesn't last long at restaurants in the high chair!! He wants to be down, exploring the world! I am starting to become extremely concerned with how we are going to handle a 4 1/2 hour plane ride to Canada in July! This is what he did the last time he rode on a plane at 2 months old...

I have a feeling it won't be quite that easy this time around!!:)

I also wanted to post a pic of our new lot that we bought in Heath! We are so stinkin' excited about it! We are going to live right down the street from my sister, Denise! (Literally, a one minute walk in the same neighborhood!!) Owen will be so excited to be able to see the girls anytime! He just lights up everytime he sees them! We plan to start building our new house sometime in late fall/early winter, so I am assuming we should be in it by late summer of next year! (Gosh, that seems so far away) Oh well, I have to learn to become patient, I guess! Here are some pics of Owen and his cousins, Megan and Liv (soon to be neighbors)!!!

This is my 10 year old niece, Megan! She is one awesome basketball, volleyball, and softball player! My little athlete!!

This is my sweet little Olivia! She is 7 years old and the best reader around!
