Wow, long time no post.
Life has been swift.
Not terribly busy.
Just flying by very quickly.
Lots has been going on, but something dear to my heart is that my little man
turned one year old.
On september 14, 2011 Owen was born.
Hard to believe that was over a year ago.
Here is my little man on his big day.
Early in the morning he received his "Birthday Boy" badge
and we headed to McDonalds
I wanted him to be able to play in the ball pit, but when we got there we found out they didn't have one :(
So we shared a yogurt instead.
He's funny. Every time I took out the camera and said "1,2,3" he threw his head back and gave me that face.
Then, we went to Walmart and got him his new big boy car seat,
which he zonked out in right away.
At home we started the preparations for his birthday party
and he played with his birthday card.
I love this face :)
Then we headed to a park down the road from our house
to meet up with a few friends for his party.
....Owen explored....
(can you find owen in this picture?)
.....Owen ate some dirt....
He LOVES to swing
...He tried to blow the noise maker...
...but he couldn't quite do it...
...so he made the noise with his mouth instead :)
And then there was CAKE
He ate like we had starved him or something!
... He literally had cake coming out of his nose...
(because he shoved it up there while double fisting it into his mouth!)
Throwing cake ... rubbing it in his hair...the works... 
Owen got lots of clothes and some shoes! (because he is walking now!)
After the party was over we headed home
and Owen got a much needed bubble bath.
I hardly got him dressed before he passed out.
I thought the cake would keep him up all night...
but apparently it (along with the full day of activity) put him in a coma :)
I'm amazed how much love I have for him. I could never describe it. Only a parent could know what I'm talking about. My little One year old.
