Owen's 4th Birthday

Owen turned 4 in mid-September.  Since we live pretty far from most of our family, we ended up doing a couple web-cams with people so that they could see him open his presents.  Unfortunately, we then didn't get pictures of that stuff :(  Grandma and Grandpa Weyer had a good Toy Story theme going on - we got a woody and buzz, Toy Story T-shirt, pajamas, and playing cards!  Auntie April had a card game theme going on giving him many great games suchs as Old Maid and Skip Bo Junior.  Uncle Dan and Aunt Amber sent us a couple of Husker T-shirts so that we can wear our colors even in a different state!  Mommy, Daddy and Quinn got him some pajamas, Toy Story underwear (can't believe grandma didn't get him that too!) and a buzz lightyear computer. 

We still didn't do a big party for him, but we did go to Chuck E Cheese on a Sunday afternoon (much better than a Friday or Saturday evening.

Owen definitely likes his pizza but getting him to sit down and eat it with all that other stuff going on around him was a slight challenge! 

We decided to invite his "best friend" from school this time and him and his Mom were able to come.  Aidan got him some really cool toys include a ramp trick for a hot wheel


Owen was finally able to go up into the slide thing this year without getting scared.  You can barely see his head here but I was lucky enough for him to sit still long enough to take this!


Trying skeet ball, still not great but we can at least get the balls up there this time!

Finally, we got him and Aidan to stand stll long enough for one picture!

We made some of Owen's favorite cupcakes - chocolate with peanut butter cream cheese frosting.  Sorry, no pic of those here, but here is a picture of the ones we made for school (no peanuts allowed!)  Might not be able to tell in the pic, but we dyed the frosting a light blue!

Overall, it was a pretty good birthday for Owen.  Can't believe that he is 4 already and probably going to be in kindergarten next year!

KY visitors

Last weekend, my brother, sister-in-law, niece and nephew came out to visit us for the first time. It was really nice getting to show them where we live and share our experiences with them.

Took them a little longer than expected to get here that Friday, but they made it safely and that is all that matters. O loved getting to see everyone, especially his cousins. It was even nice enough that we took the kids to the park one day so they weren't just cooped up inside together.

My 30th birthday was on Sunday which was a good day. I was able to sleep in, we played some cards, took the kids to the park and went out to eat at Cheddars.

Overall, it was a great weekend getting to have family out here. I hope that they had as good of a time and hope that their kiddos got back on their normal sleeping schedule back at home!
