Owen's 5th Birthday is tomorrow November 17th. We celebrated with a party yesterday. It was a monster truck theme. He got some really awesome gifts. We got him a wii. It is so fun. We hooked it up last night and played. Owen is really good at it. I beat Robby in golf. And I am really bad at tennis.

Me trying to hook up the wii. I have no idea how I got in or out of there.

Here's our cuties for halloween - Cinderella, Batman, and Minnie Mouse. We went to our church's fall party and the kids had a ton of fun. Owen loved all the games and Alyssa kept sneaking candy out of her pumpkin. Annelise had a blast looking at all the people and chewing on her stroller straps.

I just wanted to upload pictures of our beautiful children and give an update on what they are doing. Friday Owen made a Fruit Loop necklace for his craft and I made Alyssa a bracelet. They are showing them off in one of the pictures. Alyssa enjoys dressing up now and any dress she puts on is a Cinderella dress. And she has to have her "cown" and her "wan" and "glass fwippers" to go with it.

Annelise picked up growling from Owen and Alyssa. So she has been growling at us. Its hilarious and I posted it on YouTube (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P1bhSkfHVXw). The video is very fast and you may have to replay it a couple times to catch it but the growl is at the very beginning in the first few seconds of the video. Its so cute.

New Video of Annelise trying to crawl.

Owen and Alyssa had fun the other day playing with this harmonica. Owen even wrote his own song about "letting dogs out of the gate". It was so funny I had to capture it on video.

This past Friday night we went to a Birthday party at the UofA. Owen, Alyssa, and I stayed for the pep rally. It was really fun. The kids loved it.

DISNEY

The Shamu show at seaworld was our favorite show. It was really awesome.

Alyssa just loved Cinderella and still talks about her constantly. Owen was so smitten with all the pretty princesses. He wouldn't get close to them and was blushing the whole time.

Owen was our scaredy cat out of the whole bunch. This is his face on the Dumbo ride. We finally decided he is just scared of rides that go fast or up high. We drug him on a couple and then decided it wasn't worth it.

Disney World was so much fun. We are already ready to go back.

I should have mentioned yesterday that if anyone wants to come out and pick apples they are welcome to. The apples are really tart and good for making pie.

Ok. I know I am 18 months behind on the blog. I am so sorry. Hopefully I will be able to keep this updated. I didn't have time to start from the point I left off so I am just going to pick up from a couple of weeks ago - Owen's first soccer game this year. Then we have Annelise's 5 month old pictures, and we picked apples this evening from the apple tree in our yard. Owen started preschool this week. He loves it. Annelise and Alyssa had their first Mother's day Out on Thursday and loved it. We are all going to Disney World on the 17th (Annelise is staying with my mom). We are very anxious for this trip.
