Owen turned three....


....and we threw a little party! Complete with sausage pizza (Owen's favorite), chocolate cake (his one and only birthday request), and decorations that Abigail and I had fun putting up while the boys were napping.

He also got to open a box bigger than himself,

which contained this:

But of course it was more fun to play with this:


So in honor of Owen's third birthday, here are just a few of the many things I love about him....

Things I like to hear Owen say:
"space shittle"= space shuttle
"Dr. Germs"= Dr. Durham (the pediatrician)
"bonk bed" = bunk bed
"hair-a-cut"= haircut
"shasheege" = sausage
"finger minger" = doesn't mean anything, I just like it

Things I like to watch Owen do:
Keep his big boy pants dry, act like a superhero, and shows off his muscles while lifting weights


Act like a dinosaur

Bow and say "Thank you! Thank you!" to the applause after he sings something

Go barefoot (his feet are huge)


"Read" books (he does quite a realistic reading of "Hop on Pop")


Eat with a Happy Meal box on his head (he is completely serious when he does this)

Happy Birthday, Owen! Thanks for making us smile everyday. We love you!!

I remember coming to see him when he was born! Oh, time sure does fly. He is a character...I love it! Of course he loved the box more than the present. He is a boy. Ian keeps a stash of boxes behind our family room couch {I can't stand it} as houses for his animals. Happy 3rd Birthday!
