Memories of You and Me

Here are the directions:

1.As a comment on my blog, leave one memory that you and I had together. It doesn’t matter if you knew me a little or a lot, anything you remember!

2. Next, re-post these instructions on your blog and see how many people leave a memory about you. It’s actually pretty funny to see the responses. If you leave a memory about me, I’ll assume you’re playing the game and I’ll come to your blog and leave one about you. If you don’t want to play on your blog, or if you don’t have a blog, I’ll leave my memory of you in my comments.

Can’t wait to see what memories you have of me!

Happy Birthday Rowan!!!

Rowan is 1!! Isnt he a cutie?







We celebrated his true birthday at Chuck E Cheese on Thursday. It was just a quiet celebration(well as quiet as Chuck E Cheese can be.) My Dad and brother were with us. He was scared of the life sized talking characters. He had so much fun playing on the rides. His favorite toy was his gift from his Grandpa, a wagon with legos in it.

He pushed that wagon around for an hour! Then he threw a fit when we had to leave!


























We had his birthday party that Sunday. We had a great time! Here are a few pics...









Enjoying his cake!

















Playing with some of his new toys.

Sorry I havent posted anything in a while. Rowan is walking really well now, I hardly ever see him crawl anymore, however we have many cuts and bruises from all of the falling.

His communication has been the neatest thing to watch here lately. He is babbling so many words, well they seem to be close to words, so we assume that he is saying certain things. You know how that goes, right? He points to everything in sight. ~For the past few months, maybe more, he has embarrassed me by putting his fingers in anyone's mouth, even strangers that talk to him. Now he points at them and then puts his finger in their mouth!!!

We have also noticed an increase amount of affection that he gives to us. He will come over to us and lay his forehead against yours, close his eyes and then lean in for a kiss, mouth wide open! We have even seen him do it to Rocky. Its a picture I am dying to get.

Here are a couple of my favorite recent pictures!

Oklahoma State Match

2nd Place!!!! That is where Wes placed in his new tougher class (Expert), and not far behind friend John Zane, who took first. Yeah Baby! He has worked really hard this year and it is paying off. I tried to get more pictures of him to share what it is like to watch him shoot. I wasn't too happy with my pictures, but here are a few ones.



















It really was a neat match. They were creative in how they set up the stages and made it really fun to watch. They had a stage indoors that I wish I could have seen, but I had to wait outside.
The weather was cooler and even though it rained, it was nice to not be toasting in the sun.





On this stage, Wes used the tree as cover a lot different than everyone else. This paid off with better accuracy, faster transitions between targets which resulted in much faster times and more down zeros.

A Climber!

Ok, last one tonight. I am zipping through these so I can go to bed.

Rowan is climbing like he is not afraid of anything. This is funny, but scary too. I am now on a scavenger hunt for something safe for him to climb, that can fit in the house, so he doesn't use the entertainment center as his gym.













We went to one of those fast food gyms. I know its not to sanitary but they are fun! He got a bath as soon as we got home.
He climbed up that thing like he was 6 years old! And when he got to the top and saw the opening to the slide...he dashed for it with such excitement. It was difficult to keep up, especially because I was a little tall for the thing and I am not used to crawling around!

Now, maybe its no big deal, but I was one proud momma!
