Having fun jumping on the trampoline

not potty trained yet- but we're working on it

This year's Halloween costume- could he be anything else?

Summer fun

Camping in Squamish...PNE...hanging out in the backyard... jumping on the trampoline... we had such a great summer!

Some video links of Owen on You Tube... in case you haven't seen them.

Back home from China- did he even notice we were gone?

SUMMER FUN!

The new Macey family...! (complete with baby Emma)

Theo (Vellenoweth) , Violet (Bertram) and Owen

A few highlights from China...

"Okay, Owen. Time to give daddy's glasses back."

"But mommy, I NEED them."

finally, a post

Owen- singing Mighty Machines..."For every girl
and boy-oy-oy-oy...." He's figured out how to sing and has us laughing constantly with his own renditions of nursery rhymes or anything from guitar hero (Berracuda...?)

Just like daddy!
Maplewood farm.

Now that Owen is two- there are a few things he is very passionate about.
1. "COUSINS".

2. Thomas and his trains
.

3. Mighty Machines

4. Walking to the park

5. Hanging out, watching TV

Just looking at the pics from last post- it's amazing how much he has changed. He's a real little boy. As I'm typing this, he is taking a movie out of its box and putting it in the DVD player...(as daddy cringes while reading this). His favourite things to say are "Okay" (at least 14 different ways and meanings) and "I did it!" and "no, mine".

Halloween!

Bob the Builder is ready for Halloween!

Back-to-school shoes

2007-10-15T15:20:00.000-07:00

Okay, so Owen's not ready for back-to-school shoes yet, but it's sort of tradition this time of year. Mom is back at work part time and Owen spends 2 days with Grandma Wendy and 1 day a week at daycare.

Owen loves all things THOMAS
He also loves CORN.

LOVES it. He ate 2 cobs that night. He says "cohwn" like a brooklyn accent.
He LOVES Mak and Harry, and playing in the dirt with his trucks.Mom shovelled most of this pile onto the side path to surprise Ryan before he got home from work! The kids helped by filling and dumping truck loads all day long.Who said child labour isn't good?

Boy does he love the Crouches!

He has a special kinship with papa Crouch... here they are gardening.

Owen has exploded with his verbal abilities. He copies everything and comes up with new words every day. Seahorse? Taxi? Commies (thanks Papa Macey)

Summer

Owen is such a ham! He talks and talks all day long in his little jibberish, with only a few discernable words, like "big car" which means truck and "nee-naw" when he sees or hears a fire truck.

He points at the computer every day and begs to play the Thomas cd-rom, by saying "choo choo" over and over and over until we give in.

His other favourite thing is his cousins, and he follows them around like a little duckling, giggling the whole time and copying everything they do (including brushing their teeth- good work Mak and Harry!)

Owen's first kayak trip around Alta Lake- he cried almost the whole time.

18 months

Owen loves his "transportations"

At the mining museum

look what happens when mom turns her back for 1 second!

Palm Springs

2007-05-22T19:14:00.000-07:00

Our April trip to Palm Springs was great. Owen had the time of his life!

Look, I can grow a better

beard than daddy.

Ha, ha, ha. I was actually eating the dirt, though.

And why "Visscher Family Fun Band," you ask? Well, I guess it's sort of always been my dream.

("Te-mo-cil...")

The beginning

I guess it's finally time to start accessing Owen on your own, and not having to wait for me to send out the weekly (or so...) updates.

He is the love of our lives and brings us so much joy. Between Ryan and Owen, I am laughing all the time.

He is quite the little heartbreaker too... but he loves his mommy more than his other girlfriends these days.
