Happy Birthday, Auntie Ams!

We hope you like your presents (and birthday signs)!

We love you!

Happy Birthday, Grandpa David!

We hope you had a "Happy Day!" We're glad you were born!

Owen helped us decorate your birthday signs because he really likes to "draw."

Riding the Trolley

Last Friday, Jacob, Owen and I met my mom downtown in the River Market for lunch. After a yummy lunch we went for a ride on the trolley! Owen LOVES the trolley and I think it's one of my new favorite activites. We rode the trolley to The Peabody where we stopped to see the ducks, then hopped back on and went across the river.

Here are a few sweet pictures of my boy enjoying the ride.

Owen Meets Carson

My sister-in-laws' sister, Bethany, had a baby a few weeks ago. We're technically not related, but definitely family-does that make sense? Anyway, Owen's Auntie Ams really wanted a picture of her two nephews together, so we stopped by for a visit a week ago. Owen was fascinated by Carson's tiny little body. He even tried to twist off his sweet little toes. The picture below is me attempting to defend this precious sleeping baby. Carson was a trooper and slept through the entire assault. ;)

Here Owen is squeezing Carson's leg-his skinny little leg. Goodness, gracious! I have a wild child. It is amazing to think that Owen was this size when he was born. He and Carson had the exact same measurements: 7 pounds, 1 ounce and 21.5 inches long. Isn't that funny?

So, Auntie Ams, this post is especially for you. And it proves that Owen was a little overly enthusiastic about meeting baby Carson-regardless of what your sweet sister told you! We love you and think your new nephew is precious!

First Post From The New Computer!

We finally have everything up and running at the Hill house. My dad has requested a new post each day for the next week, so I'll see what I can do. Let's start the posts off with one of Owen's favorite activities: watching fish!

The Arkansas Game and Fish Commission brought the traveling aquarium to the Cabot library a couple weeks ago, so, of course, we were there to see it. Jake and his cousin, Abby, joined us. Owen literally pushed his way between Jake and Abby. Goofy kid likes to be right in the middle of everything. I'm not sure where he gets that... ;)

This kid loves fish almost as much as he loves trucks and tractors. That's saying something!

No Water

Last night there were some storms in our area. We heard a close lighting strike, but didn't see anything. When we tried to give OT a bath a little bit later, there was no water. What we found was the lightning strike had hit our neighborhood water line.

No Computer...

The desktop computer that I purchased before starting college has finally died. When our new computer comes in, I'm sure that Kate will have some more pictures for you.

I took this picture the other day. My son really likes to line up his toys. For the record, he had no help with this display. How many farm animals can you find mixed in with the vehicles?
