As usual, our spring has been super busy and unfortunately, blogging got put on the back burner! However, we've been busy for a lot of reasons and we can't forget to share them.
Way back on April 2nd, Mr. Owen turned 4. Hard to believe this little man is four already, and I must admit on the verge of acting like a little teenager!!!! He has had lots of important "firsts" in the past year. Starting preschool was a big accomplishment and he did such a great job. According to his teacher he is mighty fine at coloring & cutting and very social! Finally being able to participate in a sport (more on that in another post), instead of watching his big brothers was a big step too. For the first time, he made it to all of the UNI football games (he's finally able to sit through an entire game now)! Owen has really come out of his shell this past year too and will talk to just about anybody and has great conversational skills (in other words he never shuts up)! He also thinks he can speak in Spanish, however he always uses the same phrase and it translates into whatever he wants it to mean.
We enjoyed a birthday supper at our favorite Mexican restaurant...to sharpen those Spanish speaking skills. It's a tradition to put a large sombrero on the birthday guest and sing Happy Birthday in Spanish. Thankfully, Owen liked it this time, even if it was a little too big! We'd gone there for Connor's birthday previously and Owen burst into tears when the big "hats" arrived!
Owen also had a little friend party at our house with Sydney and Hailey. He was so excited to have friends over:) BOTH camera batteries were dead that night, so no pictures to share!
I'm sure the next year will go just as fast and I can't wait to see how he grows and changes!
