Its the Weekend!

Er, was.

But it was a good one! :)

Friday night, Emily, Alyson, and I went to dinner at Red Robin (…’yum’!) and then did some shopping at Target and stopped for ice cream at Culvers, before heading back to my house for some tv – the occasion? Emily’s birthday, of course! Happy Birthday, Emily!!! My mom watched Owen that night, and since Nathan was in town with Teresa – they decided to stop over to play with Owen while my mom watched him – Tick and Katy came over too. Fun was had by all!

Since Nathan was in town and all, we decided to head to Crazy Horse for an early lunch on Saturday (cuz of course we had to plan it around someone’s nap time).

My mom wanted to get a pic of her three kids together, and I happened to have my camera – so here’s our attempt at a group pic (of course its not the easiest, when my mom just randomly takes a picture whenever she feels like it and never tells us beforehand!:) )

Here are the first couple attempts….

Ok, I think this is as good as its gonna get…Here’s my little man with his two uncles (he loves his uncles) they’re attempting to get him to wave (he’d much rather play, and yes, that is a fork)                           

This would be a super cute pic of the three of them, but instead its just a super cute pic of Teresa and O – and a weird looking flower holding Owen!!                               

Saturday night, Kate and Mike came over to visit, as they were in town for their nephew’s one year birthday….Stormes’ delivery service brought some Fat Burrito for dinner so we (even Owen) all sat around our new dining room table (that Scott and I got on our weekend excursion to Schaumburg a few weeks back).  After dinner, we all sat around and watched Owen show off! Such a little goof and he totally knows he’s the center of attention. When he wasn’t busy giving us his evil look (he puts his chin to his chest and looks up with his eyes at you all serious) – he was climbing on his truck, determined to stand up! He’s totally looking out of the corner of his eye to make sure I’m watching him in this one…. Almost up!

Taaa Daaaa…..so proud!

Here are the two mamas…

Sunday, Scott and I decided that we needed some apples, so we took little man on his first trip to the orchards….

He didn’t quite know what to do – but he tried…

This face says, Mom…really…what do you want me to with that?

I ended up picking him a little apple and set it in his tray, next thing we knew, he had his cute little hand wrapped around it and was biting it! So cute!! :)

We tried to let him walk around and see what he would do but he just wanted to hang out in his stroller, in this pic, he is trying to make a mad dash back to his stroller. Check out what a big boy he is in his little sneakers and jeans! :)

Family pic…

What a great weekend with friends and family!
