3 Years!!!

Take me out to the ballgame...

What? RELAXING?

Ok 1- I am not a good blogger. I find my posts quite boring because I post pictures then just give a short, brief paragraph or two about what happened. I really do wish I had better writing skills! Skills people!

2-I don't think I have ever really posted about my husband- not that I dont want to its just again I seem to just post here there and everywhere pics and then write about them. And Owen is not in my everyday pictures a lot- as he should be because he is a good man!

3- We celebrated our 3rd year anniversary this last weekend! Oh so nice to have Nolen dropped off w his gparents(thank you thank you!!!) and to be able to RELAX!!! We got a GREAT deal at the Hyatt downtown. GREAT deal or we would have had a campout in our backyard. We had a great view and enjoyed waking up in the morning on our own- with no Nolen calling for us:) We also went to another Padres game and had sooo much fun! I love summer ballgames- the atmosphere, the game, the crowds, the smells (kettle corn to be exact!) All together it was just good ol fun!

4- I love Owen Dewey Snead. I will forever.

Family time!

My parents were able to come down last week for a visit along with Matt and Lindsay's family. It is always so much fun when family comes to town. We went to the Padres game and they won 18 to 6! 18!!! NEW RECORD! the game was forever long but so worth it! We also went to the beach a few times and Nolen got to know his cousins Lance and Luke pretty well.

Disneyland!

cute Ella tired of smiling for the camera...

A few weeks ago Nolen and I had a great oppurtunity to go to Disneyland with family! We met up with the Harbertsons, Valenzuelas, Hombs, and Stuckis! Thanks to Gma Karen and Gpa Jim for taking us! Nolen had so much fun for his first time even though he was bit young:) It was nice to have lots of adults so that I could get away on some fun rides myself. You can see in the pictures my cute little niece Ella. She got all dolled up in Cinderella's castle. Such a pretty princess!

Beach Bum

yay for BEACH weather again! Nolen is LOVING the beach. It is is FAVORITE place to be. He LOVES the sand- it ends up in his mouth mostly! The beach to him is a GIANT sand box with cool rocks and waves that he loves to splash in. good thing he loves it so much cuz so does his mama!

Justin's Bday!

We went to Brad and Katie's the other night for Justin's bday. So much fun to get together with family! Nolen LOVES his cousins!

Donuts and Skippo

Me after my donuts
Sue after her donuts

Gma after her donuts

Whenever Aunt Sue comes down to visit we (gma, sue, owen and i) ALWAYS play Skippo. It's tradition and well its INTENSE at times. Sue and I laugh and get a little loopy while Gma gets in a mood not a lot see- fiesty and hilarious- and my husband gets ANGRY if he is loosing but changes his mood dramatically if he wins to a very PROUD and HAPPY mood. Needless to say- its fun to play together...

We added a kick to our game the other night. DONUTS. oh geez. A whole DOZEN of them. Adding donuts to the game just made it that much more crazy.

*And Mark- I did record on camera a game of us playing the other night- you will have to watch it sometime--pretty funny!

Great Grandma

Nolen LOVES his Great Grandma Nolte! We are so lucky to live so close to her. I really see a sweet bond between the two of them. He just BEAMS when he is with her.
