So I don't have a whole lot to say tonight, just that Owen has grown so much over this year. He is quite a character now. He has his good days and of course he has his off days but overall he is a great child. He is always smiling or laughing which of course melts my heart.

Finally walking, it only took 15 months but who is counting?

One of my favorite summer outfits, hee haw

Owen's 1st Birthday (2/28/08)

So I wanted to add some new pictures to the blog. Some of you may have already seen these pictures. For others they will be new.

He hated it, well the ice cream part at least

So, in an effort to not be so afraid of technology I have decided to create a blog for our family. Jason and I have been married since April 21, 2001. We were both born and raised here in Santa Rosa and we both work here in the county. Jason is a delivery driver (he calls himself a courier) and I am a 4th grade teacher. Our greatest adventure to date has been raising our 14 month old son Owen (2/28/07). We have had so much fun watching him grow up. We know that he has a lot more growing to do and we are trying to cherish every day that we have with him. In fact I am counting the days to my summer vacation, 23 to be exact. We can't wait to sleep in, go to the park, play in the pool, and visit with friends. In addition to our son we have three furry children or cats as most people call them, Zelda, Magma, and Hossa, who have also been fun to raise. I hope you enjoy reading our blog. Hopefully this will not be too challenging for me.
