Owen's 7th Birthday!

Owen turned 7 on Thursday.  And I'm pretty sure he had his best birthday yet!  Owen shares a birthday with another little boy in our ward.  The boys were born within 30 minutes of each other in the same hospital.  So we combined our efforts for their party this year.  We had a party at a park and then rented out the Meridian pool for an hour that evening.  The party was a hit and everyone was all smiles all night.  Especially Owen. 

After playing in the park, eating cupcakes. playing games, and opening gifts, it was finally time to swim. The kids were excited to have the pool to themselves.  And they took full advantage of every minute!

These are Dan's legs...he was the only one brave enough to dive off the high dive that night.  Impressive!

I can't believe Owen is seven already.   Although in a lot of ways he already seems much older.  He adds a lot of "boy" to our house, which at times we desperately need.  He's full of energy and rarely stops.  From the moment he wakes up (early) in the morning, to the moment he goes to bed (late) at night he is wanting to play with friends and could play hard all day and never tire. The kid loves his electronics like few others I've seen.  His favorite game right now is Skylanders, and he was sure to tell everyone that he wanted Skylander figurines for his birthday.  He got 13 for his birthday...he was in heaven!  We are happy to have him in our family. I'm loving watching him grow up, even if he does cause me to lose some sleep at night :)
