American Boy

At the first of June we went and had Owen's 9 month portraits taken. We were able to sneak in a few family photos too!

We met Marquette at the Grapevine Botanical Gardens and Owen was completely in his element outside. As usual, Mrs. Marquette (simpletreasuresphotography.com) did a fabulous job! Here are a few of my favorites.

Vacation!!!

Hey everyone! We are back. Well, actually we have been back for almost a week, but we have been readjusting to our normal lives.

Andy and I went to California with our friends Tyler and Nicole. We drove up the PCH from Los Angeles to San Francisco. We also took a little jaunt out to Napa. Here are a few pictures from our journey:

Elephant Seals

One of many Beaches

Becoming a tree hugger ( I think I was always one secretly!)

And.. just a few grapevines in Napa Valley

While Andy and I were out California Dreamin' Owen was on the Grandparent Tour.

The first leg of his journey was at Grandpa Gary's and Grandma Barbara's. Here are a few of the photos they sent us while we were gone

For the next leg of his tour he went and stayed at PaPa Jack's and Grandma Lauren's. Here are a few pictures from that stay:

Playing on the porch

Relaxing with Grandma Lauren

Did you guys notice that every picture of Owen was outside? He would live outside if we would let him! He has spent most of his time since being back in hot, sticky College Station standing at the back door banging on it and yelling!

Overall, 11 nights away was a loooonnnnggg time, but we all did great. The three of us were super happy to be back together!
