More Faces and Rolling Over

This is Owen (we call him Owie).

This is Owie's upset face:

This is Owie's REALLY upset face:

Owie eating the floor.

Owie having tummy time

I turned for a second to take a picture of this cute one...

And Owie flipped right over.

This wasn't the first time, but for a while there he would prefer to roll over when no one was looking.

Faces and Crayons

I have an explanation for why the blog is so behind. And it's a good one. My computer died. It just decided that it had had enough, so I had to research and get a new one and it took time because when you have kids, things come up. So, now I have uploaded all of my photos and I have some catch-up to do.

Owen is about 3 months in these pictures. He makes awesome faces. Here is a small sample:

This is his "mom is taking my picture" face. I have a lot of pictures like this.

This is the "check out my double chin" face.

This picture won't turn right, but it is a little Owen smile. He smiles a lot at anyone who smiles at him. You just have to wait a minute for it. He looks at you like you're nuts and then all of sudden, he just cracks a huge smile at you.

Lucas decided to take a crayon to his roller coaster track and the tile in the living room, dining room, and kitchen.

See the coloring book? That's why I gave him the crayon.

It's a good thing magic eraser was invented because this would have been awful to clean up otherwise.

Boulder City Train and Kyle Canyon

We went decided to look for some adventures during the long holiday weekend.
We went and rode the Boulder City train since Lucas is currently loving Thomas the Tank Engine.

This is the family before riding the train. Lucas was excited!

We couldn't get him to stop looking at the train long enough for a picture.

Lucas by the train.

Owen must have found it soothing because he spent the whole trip like this.

Lucas loved every minute of it!

By the engine.

Then we went down to Lake Mead to feed the fish. They go crazy for bread and swim all over each other.

I was trying to take a picture of Lucas throwing bread, but he held a pose like this (pretending to throw bread) and wouldn't actually throw it until I had already taken the picture.

It's kinda gross how they swim over each other and all put their mouths above the water to get the bread. Lucas loved it.

Jared holds Owen like this and Owen loves it. He just snuggles in and cuddles and eventually falls asleep.

On Monday we went up to Mt Charleston to hike up Kyle Canyon. It was about 4 miles. Lucas did awesome. He hiked almost all the way up and a lot of the way down too.

People had walking sticks and Lucas wanted one too.

It ended up being more of a weapon.

Taking a rest (and a snack for Owen) at the top.

Cute boys holding hands.

Some Random Shots

I love that cell phones have cameras. Sometimes they are just more convenient to catch the "unscripted" moments of life. Here are several of those in no particular order from the last few months.

I am in love with this hat on Owen!

Fireman Lucas

Bed Head!

Sitting under the rug

Jared was making calls for church one night and Lucas decided to color on this chair. Fortunately, it isn't the end of the world, but now he always says it's his chair and tries to not let anyone else sit in it.

Lucas sure does have great morning hair.

He said he wasn't tired.

Lucas was really sick this day and he wanted to wear Daddy's shirt to the doctor's office. I let him because he was just so sad.
