Never going back...

I know that my writing will not do this story justice as I am not the best storyteller but I NEED to jot this down before my memory fades…

We were at the Dr.’s getting the two older kids their flu shots and Reagan’s 2 month shots as the nurse walked in with a hand full of needles she said, “Lets get Owen shot done first.”

“Yeah I am first” he said obviously not remembering what a shot was. I held him in my arms as the nurse rubbed his upper arm with alcohol. Just as soon as she was done with that prep she took the needle and stuck it right into his arm. In an instant his expression changed. He looks dead into the nurse’s eyes and said “I am not coming back to the Dr.s, I do not like it here. I don’t like the ceilings, I don’t like that green car outside, and I don’t even like Halloween.”

The nurse said with a smile, “Well, that’s pretty negative.”

Daddy, trying to settle Owen down said, “Well, bud you did get a sticker.”

Owen responded promptly with, “I don’t like these stickers anyway, I will not come back here again. I don’t like it here!”

Later talking to Grandma he told her that “I had to get a shot but I wont be going back, I don’t like the sand, I don’t like the grass, and I don’t even like Santa.” In which he changed his mind pretty quickly about Santa when I told he that he was listening;)

Oh, Owen where in the world did we get you?!?! But we aren’t giving you back you keep us laughing, and I have heard laughter is good for you. YOUR LUCKY FOR THAT, little dude;)

I am in LOVE...

I am in love, I wake up and can wait to get sweet kisses and I go to bed smiling because this was the last face I saw. I get butterflies thinking about time I get to spend together. Sunshine fills my days and warms my heart. OK enough right…. But its all true I am madly in love with my REAGAN baby. She is such a joy, not sure if its because I am getting older and understanding just what a miracle these babies are or if I have done this before and I know how fast time goes but I can suck up enough of this baby. I try to slow down and enjoy as much as possible with two other children (one being very active, I wont disclose which one;) If I could just freeze time and hear your sweet whines, see your cute face as you stretch, smell your baby fresh head but at last I cannot. Oh, Reagan how wonderful you are I am enjoying you as much as I can and you are just fabulous.

Chick-filet had a superhero night for the kids and guess who wanted to go;) It was lots of fun watching the kids faces as all sorts of Superheros dinned with us that night!

"Super" Party

Our little Super Owen turned 3!!! He may be a smidgen obsessed with Superhero’s and bad guys, if you spend anytime with him you will know! I had tons of fun planning the party and making masks, and towel capes for 13 kids! Oh, how I love parties!!! We had snow cones, chili cheese dogs, cupcakes, popcorn, a piñata, & Daddy was able to set up the projector outside and we watched Spiderman on the back wall as the kids sat in the kiddy pools! Owen had a blast with all his Super friends and family. Even Spiderman couldn’t resist making an appearance ( my good friend Patty Rush’s son happened to have the costume from a previous years Halloween and he volunteered to make Owen party Spectacular) he made the day as Owen asked him to shoot webs and hang upside down. We all had a great time and look forward to many more exciting moments with our OWEN MAN!
