Thank you ghetto car wash

This morning on our errands run, Owen and I stopped at the drive-in, squirt your car as fast as you can and scrub it down with the same vigor while hoping you don't run out of quarters with soap still on the car, car wash. He was an angel sitting in his car seat and laughing at me squirting the car down. But what really made this an enjoyable trip to the car wash was the lovely latin lady blarring cumbia music from her astro van and dancing around her car while washing it. I had not heard true cumbia since argentina and the shshshshsh sound made washing the jeep all the more fun. Plus who doens't love them an astro van, ours had a serious personality.Try and get that kind of entertainment in summerlin!

I love flowers.........

Brett knows that and I got a bouquet
for mothers day of these beauties
and wow do they smell delish!

Happy Mothers Day mama

We love and miss you tons ! Thank you for all your love and example. You are one amazing woman and I am so grateful to have you in my life. Hope your day was filled with sunshine and happiness

101st post!

Just a update on everthing that has gone on since we have been internet-less. These are some of my favorite pictures and blogging about all the events over the past month and a half won't get done, so I'll just do a quick review
Grandma and Grandpa leaving for the mission field, Owen asks for them daily and we look at their pictures daily as well. We miss them some much already but are so proud of their decision to serve! Way to go Elder and Sister Coons. They are serving in Nauvoo Illinois at the beautiful temple there. We have spoken to them many times and they have already planted flowers, a garden and found a Sam's club. I love my parents.

Owen's first ears complete with his name on the back. He loved Disneyland! Kids, Churros and a life sized Mickey Mouse were a few of his favorites. We went with Brett's family and had a great time. I love Disneyland and it was even more magical with my Owen. He met Pooh bear and gave him a big kiss and clapped along with the music during the parade. Nothing beats the tired feeling of walking aroung the magic kingdom all day!

Owen was singing along to the radio and would pose for me so I could capture this silly moment. I have about 10 pictures of him pulling funny faces. His 8 little teeth make me smile daily, he is a biter and no matter how hard I try to be the serious mom and tell him no biting, I still giggle every now and then when I he gives me a nibble!

Owen's first birthday, complete with blue frosting and a crown. I think he really like the blue cupcakes!

Finally

We are a connected family once again! Yipeeee I was getting a little restless with all the computer issues we had been having but no complaints now, just smooth sailing, Hopefully...
Owen is one, and walking/swaying everywhere. A few days after his birthday I was summoned to the family room with a shreek of joy coming from a very excited daddy. Owen had walked across the room, and I had a near heart attack when brett screamed my name, I high tailed it out just to see my little trooper drop to the ground. He has gotten so fast its incredible, and he likes shoes so much he wants them on all day, every day. He thinks every toy or object is a ball and asks for it with his little chubby hand stretched way out.He also loves both his grandpas so much that when I am on the phone he starts saying pumpa pumpa pumpa and reaching for the phone. Its quite amusing and it tugs at my heart strings too, knowing my own dad is so far away. But he does love his Grandpa Kurt and everyone else including mama is chopped liver compared to him. As a whole my blog is lacking so many pictures is almost unbearable to think about. Oh well I'll think about that tomorrow. Happy National Scrapbooking day!
