pirates' cove

thursday nite we went to pirates' cove after we got off work. owen had a blast. this is where we are having his 3rd birthday party. it should be a lot of fun for the kids...

riding the train (mom rode a couple times too)...

going down the giant fun slide by himself! he wouldn't let mom go with...

riding in the paddle boats...

sliding down the dragon's back...

steering the ship through the enchanted waters...

riding round and round on the carousel...

looking out for the enemy...

riding the hand-crank trains...

that is all for tonight. if you were invited to owen's party, we hope you can make it. as you can see, it's one of owen's favorite places. if you weren't invited to owen's party, sorry.

Milk

there's my monkey with his bowl of cereal. what's the best part about eating cereal? well, drinking the milk from the bowl, of course. he usually cannot even wait until he's done with the cereal to drink the milk. he has some funny habits. this one he picked up from his daddy...

first post

thought i'd start a blog to share pictures and other randomness. not sure how great i will be at keeping up with it, but thought i'd give it a try. so, welcome.

here're a couple pictures. (i guess i just want to make sure i knew how to upload them.) they are from may 30, which makes me realize i need to be better about taking more pictures. anyway, enjoy.

here is my owen with a big cheesy smile...

i'm messing with file size and trying to determine which looks best. above was small. below is medium. i think i will go with medium from now on. and, yes, i let my kid play with guns. it's a cheap, very unrealistic water gun, get over it. on another note, notice my nice rose bush in the background and the new rock border i put in place that morning...

well, i guess this is as good of a start as any. see ya.
