Santa Baby

West got his first photo with Santa today. Owen wouldn't go near the guy, so it's just a solo photo. I thought it was cute to compare Owen's Santa photo vs. West. Owen was a little over a year old in his picture, West is 7 months.

Random Cuteness

Owen likes to play this game where he gets dressed up all crazy and then says, "OK, I'm ready to go!"

He really wanted to bob for apples, so we made due.

West just felt like laying on Daddy's face.

Smiley boy

Trying to crawl by sticking his bottom up in the air. Not really working so far.

Typical weekday morning.

School Pics 2010

Here are the boys' school pictures from October. They came out pretty cute. There were a few of the two of them together, but I didn't buy those. Owen looked like he was really unhappy to be there. :-)

I love the lip biting in this one. Mark does the same thing.

Morro Bay: Last Day!

Coming back from the wedding on Saturday night, our headlights illuminated something in the hotel parking lot - the Wienermobile!! Totally awesome. We couldn't wait to show Owen in the morning and he loved it. He called it a "hot dog sitting on top of a car."

Owen making Mark into a pirate.

We stopped in Santa Barbara again on our way home. Here's West just enjoying a little snack on the beach.

More beach time, more rocks.

Bye bye beach!

Morro Bay: Day 3

Sorry...took a brief hiatus. Here is the rest of our trip.

Another day, another beach. This was just a short walk from our hotel.

Owen getting muddy.

He made his way in here, and then couldn't get out.

Hiking back to the hotel.

Mark helped Owen create is masterpiece of nature art.

It's a letter "A" dressed up as a moose.

Owen taking in the view at the San Luis Obispo Children's Museum.

My mom met us there for some time with the grandboys.

Owen loved the kitchen. Every children's museum we go to, he spends the majority of the time in the kitchen or play store area. Something about that plastic food just draws him in.

This bowl spun around. West liked just sitting in it.

Owen went straight for these bucket walkers and started going. Totally out of character for our less than coordinated kid.

Mommy and Owen spinning in the bowl.

Digging for bones.

The moose dressed up as an "A" became a great mobile for West. We were in that hotel for a few days, might as well decorate.

At my cousin Moriah's wedding. Love my mom's face in this one.

Beautiful bride and her daddy, Uncle Tim.

Mark and West at the wedding. West did pretty good, except for the loud grunting noises he made while pooping right before the ceremony started.

West loved touching Uncle Fred's beard.

Daddy/Daughter dance

West was totally in love with Aunt Patti. She gave him lots of attention.

West and Niki

Owen didn't know that West and Niki were behind him. We were trying to get a picture of the three of them, this is what we got. Owen's face says it all, Mr. Defiant.

Sleepy boy
