Way back in November...

We celebrated Owen's 4th Birthday!  He loved jumping and tackling with cousins at Airborne,and then we went to grandma's house and had cake and ice cream.

Also in November, Owen had a cowboy day at preschool.  They all dressed up in their cowboy attire and Owen looked great thanks to Grandma Cindy for the vest and Hunter for letting him borrow the boots!  He learned how to call out "Yippee-i-o-ki-ay!"

Christmas 2011

We haven't had much snow, but Owen had to build a snowman this year, so this was our attempt.

Owen got a fire station and police station from Santa.

This is a picture of our little pirate trying on his pirate stuff for another theme day at his preschool.  He looked so cute, but unfortunately he had a double ear infection and sinus infection the day of the party, so he didn't get to go.

I had to document Owen's drawings at this age.  He is really pretty good, and drew all of these things completely by himself.  I love his tigers, and the helicopter.

For Valentines Day, Owen wanted to make and decorate cupcakes, and that's about all we did for the occasion, but he loved licking all the frosting and sprinkles off of them. 

I haven't mentioned on our blog yet, but we are expecting baby boy #2 at the beginning of March, and we are very excited.  We are ready for our baby brother to join us and hope it's soon!

Laursen Family Pictures

While Jessie and her family were here a few weeks ago we were able to squeeze in some time to get family pictures done.

Kara did such a great job!  And all the kids were really good; we got lucky with that part!

I think our last real family photos (besides weddings) were taken when I was in 6th grade, so it's been due for a while now.
