Four Months Today!

Happy Four Months Oliver Owen! We love you!

Well, here is our youngest son at four months. What a little blessing he is. He is such a sweet boy! He is rolling over now and playing with toys. He seems a little more interested in what his brother and sister are doing and not so much scared of them. Mark and I certainly have the most beautiful, intellegent, loving, wonderful children ever! We love watching you grow Olli!

Happy Birthday Damon!

Grandma D and Oliver





Yesterday we celebrated my brother's 33rd birthday by getting together and bowling up a storm. We had so much fun! It was Marki and Levi's first time bowling and they had a blast pushing the ball down the lanes. Grandma D watched Oliver for me so I could participate. I believe the birthday boy was the high scorer and I have to say that Lee and Marki did a better job than I did! Way to go kids! Grandma D came over from Utah to help celebrate and I have to say, I absolutley love this woman! I am glad I got to spend some time with her as short as it was. She and Glen brought their grandkids with them and I think Marki had a little crush on Shawn. When we pulled up to the bowling alley she asked if he was going to be there. Pretty cute. She is still talking about him today. Oh boy! Mark better watch out! It was a great time and a big thank you to Damon and Jamie. You guys know how to party!

Girls Just Wanna Have Fun

Marki and I had a girls day today. We went shopping and to the movie "Madagascar 2". She alway goes on Marki/Daddy dates so I was tickled when she wanted to go with me. The movie was super cute although Marki really doesn't watch movies for long. She'd rather play and that is perfectly fine with me. I think she only goes to the movies for the candy and popcorn. I had a great day with you, Marki! Thank you for the fun and laughs.

We had another fun night at the Steelheads game last night. I love spending this time with Lee. Just watching him enjoy the game makes my day. He saw the little mighty mites come out and play and he was so excited. He and his sister will be there next year. That is something I can not wait to see. I was going to buy him a Steelheads jersey but for his age they were $90. No thanks! We are going to go skating next week and try out Lee's new hockey skates that he got from Santa. Marki will be trying her hockey skates out as well. She can skate of figure skates so this will be a new adventure for her as well.

Blue Christmas 2008

Christmas this year was extra special year. We had so many great presents and the kids got to rock out with Blue from the Idaho Steelheads. Since Levi just got his first pair of Hockey skates this year it seems only fitting that the Idaho Steelheads would send out a scout to welcome the young lad to the new world of EXTREME ICE HOCKEY. "GUMBONE"

Although Marki clearly was the more brave one as she climbed all over Blue and gave the thumbs up for the day. What a great Christmas Morning.

Marki's first hold up. Don't feed the bears is clear but nothing is said about robbing them.

Thumb's UP Santa. I am going to be extra special this year so I can have another great christmas.

Levi will make a great Blue one day. Although clearly we have some growing to do, don't we buddy. Well there is always the mighty mights. They may need a baby blue (get it, baby blue:)

Thanks for coming to see us on Christmas morning Blue. See you at the next game.

Christmas Day Race

Yesterday my brother and I ran in the Christmas Day race. We had planned on doing a 10k but changed our minds at the last minute to do a 5k instead. After running for a short stint I started to feel sick and had to walk the rest of the race. I was disapointed because I actually have been working out and looking forward to beating my time for the Barber to Boise. I guess I do better after I just have a baby then actually getting ready for a race. We had a blast. There were people singing Chirstmas carols as you went along. Some people dress up as Santa or the grinch. My favorite was the abominable snowman and the guy with a package on his package. That guy had to be freezing. I think this will be one of my favorite races in the future. I may not say that next year when we actually do run the 10k which is uphill. Thanks Damon. I enjoy racing with you. Next time we'll make sure Mark races with us.
