Happy Father's Day

We had such a wonderful weekend. Erik watched O so I could go out with my friends Friday night to celebrate Brandy's birthday. It was great catching up with everyone. Saturday, we ran some much needed errands. We got Owen some new toys including a walker dino. I think he will be pulling up on it pretty soon! We had movie night Saturday after O was down and I must say "Just Go With It" is hilarious! Sunday Erik took O to his parents house to celebrate with Papa. I had to play tennis so I missed out on pool time. Owen had so much fun in the water with Nana, Aunt Heather and Cousin Keleigh. He was a little hesitant at first but then he was a pro splashing around.

O has turned into quite a little ham when I take his picture. If I have the camera out and say his name, he will turn and look at me with the biggest smile on his face. I love it!

Lightning Strikes

A few weeks ago we had some bad storms in the area. I was at home with Owen and we heard this really loud noise. I had no idea what it was. It almost sounded like a transformer blowing. I walked throughout the entire house to make sure something didn't crash or blow up. Everything looked fine but I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad happened. As I was walking around the yard a few days later, I noticed a tree in the back. It was a beautiful Redbud tree that turns purple in the spring completely covered in blooms. This is what it looks like now. It must have been struck by lightning which took off half the tree. I am afraid the poor tree won't survive now. At least it was not near our house and did not catch on fire. It is still scary to know that lightning came that close. And there are much taller trees in our yard and behind our fence. Why that tree?

It was dark when I took the pics but most of the branches you see in the back are from this tree.

Weekend Recap

Aunt Tracey came home for a race at the lake and to visit with the family. We had a great weekend full of fun in the sun, good times on the boat and jet ski and way too much food!

I love this picture. We were on a boat ride and I said "Owen, look at Mommy."

He looked up at me with this goofy grin on his face!

We had a great weekend. I wish Tracey lived closer so we could see her more often. Luckily, we will see her in less than 3 weeks when the King family heads to California to visit Gigi, Aunt Linda, Uncle Walt, Cousin Laura and the Oesch clan, and Cousin Liz and the Coffeys. So excited!

Memorial Day Weekend

As usual, Erik was out of town for a soccer tournament over Memorial Day. The boys and I headed up to the lake for some fun in the sun with the Grands and Sara. Owen and I took a side trip to North Carolina on Saturday to celebrate Great Grandma Guice's birthday with the Crawford family. Unfortunately, I did not take any pictures of the event. Below are some lake pics. It was a nice, relaxing weekend! 

O loved the koozies!

Look at those teeth.

Watch out, Owen is driving the boat.

Having fun in his bathing suit.

Silly boy. He loves crawling in and out of the exersaucer.

Love him.

Picture Catch Up

Things have been so busy this past month at the Crawford household. Below are some pictures of the kids.

Smile!

They have so much fun together

 

Finally this child will be still long enough to sit on his own
