Toothless Owen!

Our Owen John finally lost his FIRST tooth today at 8 years old!!! He was SO EXCITED to lose one... he asked almost daily if one was loose until FINALLY one day he DID have a loose one! :) 

The beautiful smile BEFORE the tooth came out...

Max and Buster

Today we went to Dana's for a bit to visit... and Drew had a blast (as usual) with Max and Buster! Drew used to call Buster 'Bustard' but now he says it right! :( He loves these dogs!!

The Box Car

I LOVE when the boys use their imaginations! Today they decided to work together and help Drew build a 'car' out of a box! :)

Happy Father's Day

Happy Father's Day to the greatest dad my boys could ever have! We LOVE you Nick!! For Father's Day we went to church in Sioux City and they had a fun gift for all of the dads! :) A bag with a cute tie on it and inside was chocolate and rootbeer! :)

Happy Birthday to ME!!

Adam and Jodi took Nick and I out for lunch at Zimmy's for my birthday! We had a FUN time... lots of laughing!!! :) THANKS for a GREAT lunch! :)

A little birthday treat! :)

Some flowers for the birthday girl! :)

Baseball

Parker and Owen both did baseball again this year! Owen did the 2 week camp style baseball where he learns the techniques during week one and then has games everyday at lunch-time during week 2! He did great again this summer! - - I didn't have any pictures that turned out of Owen! :( Parker is on the 3rd/4th team and they travel to surrounding towns and play evening games. He played great this year as well!
