Photos


One of my favorite things to do is capture great photos of Owen. Well last night Eric, Owen and I went out to have some fun in the park and get some photos-Owen's 16 month photos, just a few weeks late. Here are some shots from Pettibone Park in La Crosse. I think we will spend a lot of time here this summer, as they have a nice beach for Owen to play at.

Owen loves to pick the flowers...he often tries to eat them still.

I love how little he looks in this photo.

Picking more flowers up...


After the park we went back across the river into La Crosse and went to an old building I had seen before. I knew I wanted to come back to this place to take photos of Owen.

There was traffic that kept his attention, he wouldn't look at Eric or me.





I love how blue his eyes look in this one!


I posted an ad on craig's list this week to in hopes of taking some portraits for others. I have gotten a few hits so I hope I will be able to get some shoots scheduled soon. I have so much fun taking photos of kids I would love to be able to turn that into some revenue for our family too.

Lots of Visitors

So we have been luck to have lots of visitors lately. Last weekend my mom, uncle Dave and Paul all came to visit on mother's day. We had a great time with them in La Crosse. We went to Grand Dad Bluff and to the park to play. This past Saturday Ian and Brittany came to visit too. Sunday we got to see John and Elaine. I think Owen was excited to see everyone too! He even started to say Grandpa while John was here.
We have also started to use cloth diapers with Owen. It has been going well too. It is so much easier that I ever thought it would be. I wish I would have started this sooner! At least we haven't had to purchase diapers since last September anyways. We really like the Rumparoozs and Knickernappies so far. Its crazy how many choices there are for cloth diapers.
Owen has also been getting into sweets more and more. He has figured out where we keep them, and he has figured out how to get into our pantry where he gets out cans of food. He is a growing boy who is getting into everything!
