Owen's Birthday

Owen had a great Birthday. He loved that his friends were there to help him celebrate. When I asked Owen what he wanted for his birthday, he said without hesitation: I want a live zebra. Well, we didn't get him that, but we got him a pinata shaped like a zebra and a bike. He was very happy. Here are some pictures.

Happy 4th Birthday Owen!!!!!

It is hard to believe that it was 4 years ago i had this crazy little kid! He makes me laugh every day! He has changed my life forever and i am so grateful for that. Some days I wonder how it's possible one person could have so much energy and enthusiasm, but then i realize he is just like his dad! Owen told me along time ago he wanted a zebra birthday. so Angela picked us up and we met Coleen and her kids at the LA Zoo! They shared these cute zebra print binoculars and looked at all the animals. We had lunch by the zebras and walked around some more. Then we went to pinkberry! Owen LOVES to hang out with his cousins! Then we came home and had a great BBQ and swim party at my moms! Owen is so lucky to have so many people who love him! of course all who are far away were missed terribly (but he loved all the phone calls)! Michael got Owen an awesome bike! he just got on it and road off like it was no big deal! It was a fun filled day! thanks to everyone! i love this boy like crazy !

Yum!

Reasons why I know i go to Pinkberry too much:
#1: When i asked owen if he wanted to go with me to Costco and said "We could stop at Pinkberry?!!" (in a very persuasive voice) he replied, " Oh no thanks but you could just get me a small pomegranate with gummy bears!" ( in a much more persuasive voice) ... scary he know his own order!
#2: When the kid swipes my adorable hello kitty card he says... " oh you were just here last week i remember saying something about this card last time!"... yikes i am embaressed!
#3: i think about stopping there whenever I am out and about (which is everyday)
i am sure there are a hundred more reasons but oh well what can i say I LOVE PINKBERRY!
Btw I just finished a medium pomegranate with raspberries and dark chocolate crisps! MmmMmmmMmmmm! I am not going to worry about it until the day comes when i walk through the door and they say " Welcome to Pinkberry Mrs. Barnett would you like the usual?" i let you know when that day happens and then i will try to cut back!

OOPS!

Wow i feel like a bad mom for this one but i laughed really hard when i saw drew! i proved to myself once again that my kids aren't ones who can be ignored! i love my little trouble makers
