My little He-Man

Check out my little beef-cake, Owen!  We love him so much and can hardly believe how much testosterone one little guy can have in his 18 month old body!  He loves to RUN (as many of you witnessed in church today as he ran up to the stand 3 times), throw everything, torment his sisters (I really think their reaction gives him a thrill), and more recently, hit mommy and then swiftly give me a soft kiss (isn't this too young to be playing mind games?)  This summer has been so much fun with him being old enough to run and explore on his own.  At the beach he's FEARLESS and LOVES the water, but almost more than that he loved chasing the seagulls...Don't tell Marcus, but instead of surfing, I think he might be a bird-watcher when he grows up!

He LOVES to skateboard with his Daddy (every time we park in the garage he tries to get the longboard out, but Mommy doesn't trust herself riding while holding onto him, so i have to tell him to wait for Daddy to come back in town).  Something else Owen loves to do with his dad is go hiking in the hills--he runs into the garage and tries to get into the Kelty backpack, 'cause he knows that means he gets to, #1-be outside, #2-be with Daddy all BY HIMSELF!  They'll go hiking for over 2 hours most of the time and he usually just looks around and enjoys the ride, pointing to birds (again with the birds...I'm telling ya) and yelling "doh!"



Here's a short video of Owen on the skateboard--my camera was running out of battery so it got cut a little short...

And heres a little clip of Owen playing with Madie and me...
WE LOVE YOU, Mr. McBowen!
