Catch up post

This is a catch-all post of some things we have done over the past few weeks that I wanted to make sure got in the blog. Enjoy :)

Natural History Museum (or, as Owen calls it, the "Dinosaur Museum")

A few weeks ago, we joined Aunt Shawnee and Drew and Ryland at the Natural History Museum to check out the dinosaurs. Owen had a blast...especially considering he is VERY into dinosaurs right now!

The boys...extremely excited about the T-Rex exhibit

Digging for dinosaur bones

My little archaeologist

Another Snow Day

We have had a ton of snow days this winter! It hasn't been quite as bad as last winter, as far as amounts go. But it just seems like every time we get rid of the snow, more comes! Owen's favorite person to play with on snow days is our neighbor, Elizabeth!

A sled ride down the stairs...this was the hit of the day!

A picture op in the tree!!

Digging a "volcano", as he called it!

Having a little chat with Elizabeth in the "volcano"

Pittsburgh Piratefest

We spent one Saturday a few weeks ago at Piratefest for the Pittsburgh Pirates! Owen had a blast, going in the batting cages, playing games, seeing some of the players, and having his picture drawn. It was fun to take him down town to get him pumped up about the upcoming MLB season. His Daddy has faith every year that the Pirates will have a better team. He is even heading to Bradenton, Florida next week for Pirate Spring Training with his Dad and brother. I, on the other hand, tend to offend him by laughing at his optimism...I mean, 17 losing seasons in a row makes it hard to be a believer :) But, I am still a fan and I definitely hope for a great season ahead!!

Excited for his turn in the batting cage

Next up to bat, "The Electric O"

Playing one of the games...I believe he won a bobble head at this game

Silly boy!! Making faces at Mommy instead of smiling for the nice man who was drawing his caricature! You gotta love this boy!!

And, now, so serious :)

Street Hockey

2 weeks ago, we had a few beautiful days in a row and we were able to actually get outside and enjoy the weather! Owen was thrilled to get to play a little street hockey in with Daddy and Elizabeth!

Fun times!

Lovin' the weather!!
