Owen's 2nd Birthday

Owen's pre-party present from Meme and Pepe.
(My mom and dad) Dallin had fun checking it out
as well.

Auntie Wendy arrived with the Nemo cake in
hand.

Look how cute it turned out.

Owen was very excited about his Nemo cake.

Look at that face! He is so excited. Owen loves
his motorcikles. That is how he says it.

Look at my motorcikles!!!!

Uncle Mark (My brother) has this weird desire to

destroy cakes. We had already ate some, but

he really wanted to bite Nemo's head off. Jenner

(My nephew) wanted to help him.

Off went his head! Sorry Nemo.

Owen had a great time at his party. He was busy running around like a crazy man, playing with his cousins and new toys. We were able to have Shane there through the web cam. He helped sing happy birthday and watched Owen open his presents. It was nice to have him be a part of this day. I can't believe I have a 2 year old!!!!!

So, it has almost been a month since I last wrote. I have to thank Kerstin for making my blog look way cute. I love it. Things have been really busy this summer. I have been working 6 hours in the office and then some when I get home. But most of my time is spent with Owen. He can keep anyone busy, if you know what I mean. This week is his birthday. My baby is going to be 2. Can you believe it!?!?!? I know, time has surely flown by. It seems like I just had him. But he is truly a blessing and so much fun to have around. I can't wait to have another one. Not saying that I am pregnant, but hopefully soon.

I have also been doing some house projects that needed to be done. Shane and I started remodeling our home three years ago. It all started with me taking off the old wall paper that was on the walls when we first moved in. That in turn meant taking down all the door casings and floor boards. We repainted the whole house from ceiling to floor. Replaced the carpet and eventually gutted the kitchen and upstairs bathroom. Well this whole time we have never put the door casings or floor boards back up, so that is what I have been working on. It has been way to long without them that I told Shane it would be done before he got home. I have finished my room, the hallway and the upstairs bathroom and man it looks so good. I just need to finish Dallin's and Owen's rooms, the family room and then the basement. We are finally getting our house back. YEAH!!!!!!!!

Shane has 5 more weeks left. He will be able to come home on September 9th. It was actually 11 weeks and 4 days that he will be gone, but whose counting. I am so excited to see him again and just to be with him. I think I took him for granted the whole time he was home and now when you are apart you think of all the little things that matter the most. I love my husband very much and think he is the greatest thing that has ever happened to me. I am really blessed to have him in my life. He is my everything!
