Three Years Ago.

Three years ago today I married my best friend. He is my world, the most important relationship in my life and the best thing that has ever happened to me. He is the father of my children, my knight in shining armor and my protector. He's made all of my dreams come true.

5 am.

Owen went in for his two month appointment - he weighed in at 14 pounds 3 oz and is 24 1/4 inches long. He is healthy and generally happy. I am so blessed to have two healthy boys!

Owen has been waking a lot less at night, which is great - but I've become spoiled. He will usually sleep from 9pm to 3am, eat then sleep until 8am. Not last night. He ate at 10pm, woke up at 1am, woke up at 3am, 5:30am and has decided to play in his pack and play/mommy's bed since. He's smiling and cooing and even giggling - between the big yawns. He's fallen asleep for a few seconds then quickly wakes himself up. He's such a silly boy with so much personality already.

Jack will be two in a month. I can't believe it. Where did my baby boy go? He's talking so much...
He knows what a lion, dinosaur, kitty, dog, fish, bird, duck, frog and bee say. He knows where his eyes, teeth, tongue, mouth,, cheeks, hair, nose, chin, ear, fingers, toes, feet, knees, belly and belly button are. He says: mom, daddy, Owen (sounds like Ooooopn), Roxy (the cat's name), dog, milk, lotion, out (for outside), fish (sounds like ish), go, car, and truck (sounds like..well, not truck but something terribly inappropriate that rhymes). He LOVES playing outside and would probably live in the dirt if I let him.

Clay and I decided that I'm staying home. I quit my job this week - though no one has responded to my emails. It's a dream come true, which sounds silly, but it is. I am so excited to stay home and raise my babies.

The daycare is working out well. Things are going smoothly for the most part. I still have an opening if you know anyone! :)

Well, I should shower before Jack wakes up.

Busy Week!

Busy week here at the Lowder's! 

Owen is two months old, already. Makes me cry to think about how he will be crawling and then walking and then throwing giant fits like his brother! 

The fourth of July was nice, Jack didn't enjoy the fireworks at all. They scared the poor kid to tears. So, no cute firework pictures this year. I'm sure next year will be very different.

Clayton celebrated his 24th birthday on the 7th. I made him an ice cream cake and for dinner we had spaghetti and meatballs. Yummy!

We impulsively went and bought a pool since the little one from last year didn't seem to fit our big boy anymore! 














Jack loves being a big brother and is so helpful. Sometimes, too helpful. He's taken an HUGE interest in holding and carrying Owen. He's only gotten a hold of him once...and dropped him. Poor Owen, this is just the beginning!

Until next time! <3
