First Movie in 6 months!

Today we saw the new Batman movie, The Dark Knight. We haven't been to the movies in 6 months,yes that is not a ty-po, I have a hard time staying awake in movies. I usually pay for two hour nap, but Christian Bale is a fabulous batman and we both wanted to see this one in the theatres. Brett and I both agree when Batman talks in his batman suit its a little weird, all stressed and horse sounding.Gary Oldman and Morgan Freeman are back again and do an outstanding job. I always seem to enjoy a sequel better when the same actors are back again. The set design was way cool( same team from the Prestige and Master and Commander)very dark but appealing at the same time. Heath Ledger was crazy scary and at times funny. He really did a great job and its a little easier to understand how sad and messed up he was. Jack Nicholson said he had a hard time adjusting back to reality after he played the Joker and that he had warned Heath. So sad. I am glad we saw the movie at 2 in the afternoon I get really jumpy and I am sure I'll have a pretty restless sleep tonight.

4 months old

He has my crazy sensitive skin, you touch the little guy and redness in streaks and splotches break out, the binki is a new bff and his purple shot band-aids

Owen had his 4month check up yesterday with Dr. DeSimone. He his our little chunky monkey weighing in at 21 lbs 10 oz, off the chart in his weight and height 97th percentile for his head circumference. He has added a scream to his vocal skills and will laugh out loud. He stills love his play mat and uses the rings to pull himself side to side but as of today at 11:30 am we have a roller. Yes he rolled over, he is mobile, back to tummy, the more difficult way. Our little boy is quite an over achiever already. Kidding. He had his next series of shots, 4 in total and he didn't even cry--just like his mommy. Owen has such a sweet temperament and loves to snuggle, sing, dance, take baths,pull his binki in &out,hold his binki and wave it about, be outside, walks in his stroller, Colette kissed from bosty and being nudy. We also started rice cereal today--HE LOVED IT ! The poor kid has been eyeing real food for weeks and even went after grandpa's burger at the 4th of July festivities. I am so thankful to have such a healthy happy little boy, he makes my heart full of sunshine and I can't imagine a better way to spend my days and nights doing anything else. Last night before Brett left for work we were watching "Hopkins" that hospital reality show and the story they were showing was about a 2year old with an enlarged heart. I need to summarize because I am getting emotional just thinking about it again. Basically the little guy was going through tests, procedures, and operations to find out the damage done and the prognosis. I was bawling, tears streaming and when they showed the little boy in cardiac arrest and all the tubes and monitors attached and then to watch them tell the mom and dad what had just happened I had to put the blanket over my head, I was overwhelmed with sadness, grief for the parents and thankfulness that I had a healthy little boy sleeping soundly in the next room. Brett turned off the TV and made me promise not to turn it on again when he left, I am glad he did. I went in and laid next to my little O and just starred at his perfectness. I am so blessed.

4th of July& Fishlake

We all headed up to the cabin for the fourth of July weekend. On Friday the fourth we all headed to Richfield to see the parade, collect salt water taffy and tootsie rolls, eat a hamburger w/ just ketchup, watch the races and witness another fish grab. Both Owen and Brett got to experience all this fun for the first time. Owen was such a good little boy and Brett carried him all day in the Bjorn. I love my boys so much!



Bosty and Miss Richfield or as she called her the "Princess"



Fishlake's beautiful weather, sunny and 69-72 degrees! We all loved having the family there with us( we missed you Burdetts& Hopkins), next year is the 20th anniversary of my parents having the cabin, we are going to have another party because you all know how much I love to get the party started. Thanks M&D for hosting all 23 of us, you are the best ever

Bears,Baseball, Bass Pro shops and our baby boy!

We went to see the 51's (formally known as the Stars) play Monday night. It was so much fun, and Owen was such a good boy, didn't cry at all. And to our surprise Nomar Garciaparra, Andrew Jones, and Rafael Furcal were there playing with Las Vegas, apparently they were doing injury rehabilitation this week. Sweet huh?


Owen has a little friend--his "My first bear" He loves to play with the bear, wrestle it and most of all eat its nose. I laugh when he gets all excited to see his bear, his legs and arms go stiff and he grunts!

Brett got a fishing pole from my dad for his birthday, so last weekend we took a little drive out to Bass Pro Shops to look at reels and line. I forgot how cool that place is, not weather wise, it felt like it was at least 10 degrees hotter out there! The fishing guys knew about Fish Lake and Brett got a sweet new reel for his rod. Owen was the best little man ever,so interested in all stuffed dear, fish and cougars.My only regret was not getting the camo-onesie, he would've looked so sweet up to the cabin in it.


I forgot to post Owen's three month photo's--poor kid he'll be four month old in a week and half. He has since grown out of these jammies and loves to be sitting up watching everything and everyone. Isn't his face so sweet?
