Yup! It's Official!

  Someone is going to be a big brother! It's Official! November 30th is the due date. We found out on April 2nd and couldn't get in to the doctor until May 7th, but it's been confirmed: we're having another baby!     Owen is hoping for a little sister and he has already picked out two names: "Attitude" or "Anubis" (which is the name of the mummy from his favorite Jonny Quest episode: "The Curse of Anubis"). Mom and Dad just hope the baby is healthy and all goes well. So far things have been great, other than Carrie has had a lot of nausea which she didn't have with Owen. We'll keep things posted as the pregnancy moves along!

Owen's 4th Birthday

Owen had a great 4th B-day. We celebrated it at classic fun center. Owen ran around for 3 hours in the bouncy houses. He loves those things. He is getting so big. We had a great time with family and friends for his Birthday. He got a lot of great things and loved his Birthday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY BIG BOY!

Easter

What a great Easter we had this year. Owen really got into it this year. He loved decorating the eggs and most of all the Easter egg hunts. We could not have asked for better weather it was just perfect. We loved spending time with family and having some good eats.

Someone is gettin old!

Chism had a great birthday. He scored lots of good presents. We had a great time hanging out with family and watching the jazz game. He was a good sport with the kids. I think they opened more of his presents then he did. I'm pretty sure Owen blew out the candles on his cake as well. Happy Birthday!

Busy Owen

Owen is a busy little 3 year old. He never stops amazing me. He never stops going, he is always getting into something and he is always busy fingers. You give him a minute to get in trouble and he finds it fast. He came in the other day and said look mom a blue mustache. Looks good huh mom! He also loves stickers but learned quick not to but them on his face since it hurt really bad to get them off. He ended up taking a bath to get them off and still ended up with some still on. He is going to start pre-school this year and is very excited to learn. He is excited to learn to read. He asks all the time now how do you read? It is great to be home more and see him turning in to a big boy. He does test my patience daily but all in all he is pretty good.

Valentines Day!

I was just upstairs on the computer. Owen comes in and has chocolate all over his face. I said you had a chocolate didn't you? Owen says not just one mom I ate the whole box! He was not kidding! Happy V-day!

Christmas Break

We had a busy but fun Christmas this year. It was so nice to be closer to everyone, this was one of the reasons we really wanted to move; we just wanted to be closer so we could enjoy Christmas.

Santa was good to Owen this year. He got his "big Millenium Falcon" and tons of Adventure People. He also got the movie Cars 2 which he has watched over and over again. He got lots of new clothes--including his favorite Batman pajamas, which he would wear all the time if Mommy and Daddy allowed it.

We had a great Christmas break. Chism really enjoys being a teacher, especially at Christmas as he got over two weeks off! Carrie had one or two days off as well, so we spent some good family time together. We went to the zoo a few days after Christmas, to take advantage of the free admission. Owen thoroughly enjoyed himself, but he does that wherever we go.

We spent New Year's Eve at Grampa and Grandma Higham's house. Of the three grandchildren, Owen was the only one to make to midnight without throwing a fit or falling asleep at some point.
After that, Mommy and Daddy took advantage of some more great deals and got lower bowl seats for $26.00 for the Jazz game. They sat on row 16, and if looked fast enough, they were on TV for a split second.
Owen didn't walk away empty handed. He spent the evening with Grampa and Grandma Nash. Mommy and Daddy were able to catch a minature Jazz basketball that was thrown to the crowd. And Owen got a Jazz t-shirt of his favorite player: Paul Milsap, though Owen insists that his name isn't "Paul" but "Tall" Milsap.

All in all we had a great Christmas and New Years! Carrie took plenty of pictures of the festivities with her new camera:
