Halloween 2009

Rowen insists on being a superhero for Halloween. I showed him a costume magazine and he especially likes batman and spiderman. I am having a hard time finding a spiderman costume in 2T which is his favorite but will keep looking. He is so excited to dress up and get CANDY! I think we are going to go to Kansas for Halloween this year. It all depends onweather I buy a vehicle before then so we'll see. I will keep you updated on the costume search!

Looking Back...







It seems like yesterday...
Rowen was such a tiny little thing.
I can't believe he is going to be 3 in 5 short months.
He's just as precious and perfect as he was when he was born. Why can't they stay young forever?

Rowen News

Rowen in growing up so fast! He is, for the most part, a very good little boy, very well manored and sweet as can be but he can be quite bossy and demanding at times as well. I thought I'd share with you a few of his new sentences that he has been using quite frequently:

*If we ask him to do something like help us pick up his toys and he doesn't want to do it we usually take him by the hand and move him in the direction of the toys, or whatever it may be...he says "NO, LET GO OF ME!"

*If he wants candy or fruit snacks before dinner and we tell him that he can't have any until after dinner...he says "NO, I HAVE SOME." Which leads to "NO, LET GO OF ME" as we are taking him off the step stool he has moved under the snack cabinet.

*When he has pooped and needs to be changed, I ask him if he pooped...he says "I NO POOP MOM, NO NEED DIAPER CHANGE." You probably know what that leads to...I usually have to chase him and pick him up to change him and he proceeds to say "NO, LET GO OF ME!"

*Rowen often gets things reversed. When he wants me to hold him he says "I HOLD YOU, MOM, I HOLD YOU" or when he wants to help me with something he says "I HELP ME, MOM." He is such a cutie.

*A few other things he says almost every night are: "Mom, I go swing", "Mom, I go outside with Facie", "No Dad, that's my Mom", "No, No, Facie, my fries", "Mom, where the titty go...the titties gone mom, where's she at?" (meaning the Mya, the kitty) He also gets very disappointed when Papa or Uncle Travis leave. He will tell pout and come to me the next day and say "Papa don, Mom" or "Trabis, don, Mom". When I tell him that they went back to Kansas he brings me my phone and says, "Call Trabis!" It's pretty cute.

Rowen's New Bed


Rowen seems to think that Mya's bed is his new bed. He curls up in it like a cat and says "meow." And when I tell him that Mya's bed not his bed, he proceeds to tell me "No, Mom, it's MY BED!" Maybe I should let him sleep in it so I don't have to sleep with his foot in my ribs!

Yukon Czech Fest Parade





We took Rowen and Grandma to the parade on Saturday. It was a zoo on main street but we had managed to find a parking place at the front of the parade. Rowen caught lots of candy, pet a few dogs, waved to the fireman and football players, and danced with the tumblers. Ransom tried to teach him to whistle and flirt with the cheerleaders but he wasn't interested...they didn't have candy so they were pretty low on his list. He will probably have rotten teeth by Thanksgiving!

Playing in Papa's Whirpool Bathtub





Rowen loved the big bath tub so much that I told him he could take a bath at Papa's the next time we visited him. So last week when we went over for pizza I took his soap and pj's and let him take a bath. The bubbles were so high, they came up to his chin when he sat down. He absolutely loved it! He loves the BIG backyard too. I have a feeling we will be at Papa's alot.

Wrestling with Papa




Rowen loves to wrestle with his Papa. They have so much fun together! We went over to his new house last week for pizza and Papa asked Rowen if he wanted to spent the night and he got under the covers in the guest bedroom and said YEAH! I told Mark to be careful what he wished for...Rowen is a handful! But, I know they would have a great time together!

Swinging in the Tree


He loves this swing. We hung it from the tree out front and his favorite thing to do is SPIN! He likes me to spin him so the rope twists and then untwists really fast. He will be sad when its too cold to swing everyday! We might need to find a way to hang it in the house!

Oklahoma State Fair with Ava




We went to the fair last Sunday with Preston, Ashley and Ava. The kids had so much fun! They danced, rode rides, laughed and hugged. They make an adorable little couple!

Frog Child

I had a pretty bad headache one afternoon so I got my cold mask out of the fridge and put it on. Rowen thought it was pretty neat so when I was finished with it he tried it on. He ran around with it on for 30 minutes. He sort of ooks like a frog to me.

Christina's Birthday at Club Rodeo




We went out for my friends birthday a few weeks ago. We had so much fun! Ransom and I went out to eat and then met everyone at Club Rodeo. Good times!

Conked Out in the Carseat


Rowen drug his carseat into our bedroom and insisted on watching Lilo & Stitch in it. He looked so tired so I put the movie on and covered him with a blanket. He cuddled up with George and fell asleep. Out like a light!!

Naked and On The Run...



Rowen just gotoutof thebathadn decided to make a run for it...he hid under the table in the dining room and giggled. He thought he was soooooo sneaky!
