Let's Check those Teeth

Brent has a tradition where he takes a day off from work and he and Owen go do something fun when Owen has a dentist appointment.  He loves his dentist, Dr. Goldenberg at The Greensboro Center for Pediatric Dentistry.  At his last appointment in December,  they went to breakfast at Tex and Shirley's and then rode the trolley at Friendly since it was Christmastime.  He had another appointment at the end of July, so to carry on the tradition, Brent took the day off and away they went.  He had an early appointment, so they went to the appointment first.  Then they went and played putt putt and had fun at the arcade inside.  Then they went to Tex and Shirley's for lunch and went to some stores at Friendly.  Owen loves spending time with his Daddy!

Cowboy Owen

Owen loves to dress up like a cowboy!  He frequently has 'shows' for us where he will walk around and act like a cowboy!  Such an imagination!  He cracks me up so many times!  Love you buddy!

Off to Boone!

In July, we decided to go to Boone for the day.  Brent took the day off work and we headed up the mountain.  We walked around campus and had a picnic there.  Then we headed to the Mast General Store for some treats.  It started raining after that, so rather than waiting to see when it was going to stop we headed back home in the afternoon.  It was a short trip, but nice to get away!

Swim Like a Fish - well we're getting there!

Last winter, Owen took swim lessons at the Y for about a month.  It was more to get him used to the water and comfortable getting his head down in the water.  The first couple went fine, but he was not that into it by the end.  This summer, I called my friend Deana and asked if she would mind giving him lessons.  I have been swimming with Deana since we were about five or six.  She's such a good teacher, so I thought Owen would really learn from her.  I couldn't believe how well he did just after a couple of hours.  She said he was very good and caught on quickly.  Now we just need to get together a few more times and he can hopefully get it with some practice!  Thanks Deana!

Happy 9th Year Anniversary

On July 24, Brent and I celebrated our 9th anniversary!  I can't believe next year it will be 10 years!  Time has flown since we got married and our lives have been so blessed!  The boys have spent a couple of weekends with Mimi and Papa, so Brent and I have been able to enjoy some date nights out!  Love spending time with my hubby!

VBS Triad Baptist

Our church had their VBS at the end of July and Owen was all excited about it.  We purchased the CD ahead of time and he already knew some of the songs before it started.  The theme was Treasure Quest and it was a pirate ship theme!  He loved it and couldn't wait to tell us what they did!  Glad he had so much fun and I can't wait for Gray to go in a couple of years!

Owen's Mater Plants

I mentioned in a previous post that Owen wanted to buy some tomato plants for me at the Farmer's Market when he and Brent were there for the Easter event.  He was so proud of them and as soon as it got warmer, Brent and Owen got them planted.  Owen was so excited to watch them grow and he was very good about watering them!  They turned out pretty well and we enjoyed eating his maters as he called them!  Too funny!  My little farmer, Owen!
