50 Month Update

The Easter Bunny was a big hit this year, Owen is at the perfect age to enjoy the joy of the hunt. We took him to Gyro Park for the Easter Egg hunt, which he of course did very well in. I think it had something to do with free chocolate candy littered all over the grass. Our sweet toothed son cleaned up shop and had a pretty good stash of goodies when everything was said and done! Easter morning he had his own hunt for eggs and his Easter basket at our house followed up with a nice Easter brunch with Darren's family.

Spring has finally arrived here in Trail, though it might have been awhile since we felt the warm sunshine on our pasty white skin. I put out a pair of shorts for Owen to wear today because it is supposed to be 80 degrees. He yelled back to me, "Mom these pants are too "yiddle".  Haha, how cute! I told him, "No Owen those are shorts, they are supposed to look like that.". He said, "Oh you silly mom, they are just shorts!" The warmer weather graced us with its presence this weekend as well and we spent the weekend getting our tent trailer ready for the season. Though with the baby on the way and Darren's new job we might be able to only go two or three times in June. I will be big and pregnant, and hot, but I am a trooper and love camping. So I am all for it! I am a little over 6 months pregnant and moving right along. Things are going great, I cannot complain. Owen is constantly giving big hugs and daily kisses to my belly and his soon to be sister. He is very gentle and careful around me which goes to show us that he will be a great big brother. He has decided that once again he is naming the baby and has finally OK'd the first name of Harper but has decided to change her middle name to Snowy. (Which is the dog from Tin-Tin). So it looks like the babies name will be Harper Snowy McCarthy. :)

We tried teaching Owen how to ride his bike without his training wheels, and let's just say he is not ready quite yet! He actually did OK the first time around, because I do not think he realized what was going on. But the second time and on as soon as Darren let go of the back he took a nose dive into the cement. Which was not a good time for all parties involved. So we might save that adventure for a few more months or even another year down the road!

We have been spending quite a bit of time outdoors, riding bikes, playing frisbee, climbing trees, hitting baseballs and Owen has been asking Darren daily to go fishing. So the fishing rods will need to be dusted off so the boys can catch us some dinner! We are hoping you are all enjoying your Spring!
