Father's Day Weekend 2011

We had a wonderful weekend at Lake Keowee!

" Emma, Emma, Emma, Emma!"
That is what we woke up to every day...mind you, it was before the birds woke up! He was very excited to play with his friend.

The box is more fun than the game at this age...

Opening and closing the doors on the deck and going in and out was one of Owen's favorite games. He was very proud of himself when he figured out how to step down onto the porch without the help of mommy or daddy.

I'm ready to take the wheel, dad!

Owen loves to go fast!

He did not like the feel of the wet, rocky sand. Once he put his water shoes on he was great (too bad I lost them in the lake later that day...).
How many pictures are we going to take in front of this thing??

Playing so nice together with his buddy, Emma, at the waterfall.

First Haircut

After much prodding by family members (Uncle Matt, Nonnie, Grandpa Zip) I broke down and decided to cut those beautiful blonde locks. I knew that it was needed as he was beginning to look a little bit scraggely, but that just meant he was growing up on me!

When Luke and I moved to Greenville I noticed a place called Jelly Beans that cut hair for little kids. I used to drive by it all of the time and said that when we have kids we would take them there to get a haircut. It just looked so cute and fun!

So I made an appointment for him on Friday, he did great! And they managed to keep the long 'southern' look for me!

SUMMER!!

We had a great family weekend! We started Saturday morning with a trip to Cleveland Park where Owen ran, jumped and slid for quite awhile. Later that afternoon we took a trip to our neighborhood pool...let the summer fun begin!

Lake Keowee for the day...not a bad follow-up to Saturday!

Chillin' with daddy. Owen has this whole boat thing figured out!

Enjoying a boat ride on a gorgeous Sunday afternoon while eating one of my favorite snacks, balls (known as blueberries to everyone else).

This thing is pretty cool...

Look at that view!

Daddy wanted to take me down the waterslide, mommy was nervous that he wouldn't hold my head above water when we landed in the pool...

But daddy did great and kept my head nice and dry! However, I still don't know how I feel about the waterslide just yet. I have sort of an 'eh' attitude toward it (I must've gotten this from my mommy).

Love playing with the water features. Look at mommy constantly holding onto me...geeze, are you ever going to let me learn how to swim on my own???
