Pumkin Patch Fun!!!!!

So we went to the Pumkin patch today over by us. This is the most wonderful pumkin patch i have ever seen. Last year we had such a blast with sara and hallie and elizabeth. We are going to go again when they get here but today Owen's teacher and some kids from his class so we went to go meet them. Here are some pictures from our fun night.....

So my little baby, At least i keep telling myself thats what he is, had his first school pictures. not only that but i went to my first parent teacher confrence. Yes, know it's a few years early because he's in a preprepy K but still it was a parent teacher conference and real school pictures with a class picture and everything. Anyway, here is a proof of his school picture. I LOVE it! Even if he does look like he's 5 and not 3!!!! :) Please tell me he will stop growing up! :)

Here are some of the newest pictures that we have of what has been going on......

First i graduated from Dental Assisting school this past weekend. I don't have any pictures as of yet from that but when i get them I'll put them up. I do however have a few from my last day of class so I'll put a few of those up.

Second Owen started and all day preschool. He rides the bus and everything. He loves it. In fact the first day of school Daniel and i took him and picked him up from school and he was so mad because he wanted to ride the bus. He is learning all kinds of new things. The other day he came up to us and showed us his school folder that has his name on it and said "Mommy O-W-E-N that's for Owen" i couldn't believe it!!!!!! Now the only time we can seem to get him to do it is when we don't ask him to. Tonight Owen stated counting with Daniel he counted all the way to 10 on his own. So he is doing so well!!!! Daniel is still studying hard. He seems to really enjoy all of his classes and is learning lots. So that is the update with us. We are sad to say goodbye to yet another part of our family tomorrow, Becca and baby Alex are leaving us heading up to WA. It will be sad not to be up there with them. So I went and did a little photo shoot tonight of Alex i'll post some of those also.We can't wait for Christmas when we are all together again!!!!

These pictures are taking forever to upload so i'll put more up tomorrow :)

My 3 year old!!!!!! can you believe it! My little man is 3. I really dont know how i feel about that. Today he fell asleep in the car and so i carried him in to the store and i thought. i'll be real fast i dont need a cart..... i thought my arms were going to fall off. I mean he has always been a big kid but when did he get HUGE!!!! I know all of you are thinking he has always been huge. lol, so needless to say my little man is not so little any more. Owen started his summer school program on Monday. It is just for 2 hours m-th. he LOVES it!!!! On Wednesday he took the school bus for the first time. He was so excited!!! I was totally freaked out, I was at work while he was going daniel took him to the bus and all i could think about was the fact that owen was going on the bus for the first time! When i got home from work all he could talk about was going to school on the bus. In fact he woke up at 2am yesterday morning, came in our room and said " mommy wake up, i go on the bus please." at least he was polite (we have been working on our pleases) so he loves school and the bus :). Last Saturday before Sara, Hallie and Chase left us :( we took the kids to get their pictures taken for their birthdays, hoping to get a really cute cousin shot. That didnt work out so well but we did get really cute pictures of the kids on their own, here are Owen's 3 year old pictures, I'll let Sara show you how cute hers are...... This one is my FAVE!!!!!!

Okay so I thought this was to cute. Owen turns 3 in a week so i thought it was high time that he started sleeping in a big boy bed. Yes i know most kids start sleeping in big kids LONG before their 3rd birthday but he was perfectly happy in a crib seeing as how it took us so long to get him one and he slept in a closet for the first year and half of his life.... don't worry it was a walk in lol. It's a family thing us Powell's like to stick our kids in the closet right Sara? anyway, so we put his bed together tonight and every one told me "he's not going to stay in bed hes going to fight it tooth and nail" but i had faith!!! Not once did he get out of bed!!!!!! Can you believe it!!!! Not once!!!! So i took so pictures and here they are of my Big boy!!!! He had growen up way to fast!!!! I Love him!!!!!!

Okay so i'm sitting here in school bored to death. I know i'm a great student right? Anyway i thought i would take this time to update my blog. Mostly to get Elizabeth off my back ;) I love you boo!!!! Anyway a lot has happend in our lives lately. First thing that happend is I got a job. I LOVE it. Really i would rather not be working at all but right now it's something that i need to be doing. So if i have to be working I have the perfect job. I work in an Orthodontist office, which it the pratice that i wanted to get in to. Its actually my old orthodontist that i work for now. I'm doing mostly front office work right now but he is going to slowley train my in back office. Which i'm really greatful for because it makes me worth more. So that works for me. The girls that i work with are wonderful. It's just over all a GREAT place to work. And i only work 3 1/2 days a week so you can't beat that! :)

Then the most exciting thing that is happening in our lives right now is that Daniel is finally home!!!!!! He got home almost 2 weeks ago. It is so wonderful being a real family now!!!!! Owen took it really well, i think we prepared him enough to the point that he really understood that daniel was comming home. For the first few days any time daniel would leave the room he would call out "Daddy? Daddy where are you" it was really cute. But now he's calming down about it. I'll add some pictures of Daniels home comming that my sister in law and i took (mostly her).

Photography business is really starting to pick up so thats fun. I have done so far 2 weddings this summer and i have more to come. Not only that but i have been doing a lot of family photos and senior pictures.

I am getting ready to graduate in August!!!! I can't wait as much as i have enjoyed going to school and being able to do that. It's really tough to do that and work. So when it's over i'll be glad. So that is what is going on with us powell's lately. Hope i didn't bore you all to death. I'm going to really try to stay on top of this whole blogging thing :) I know i say that every time. Well here are some of my fav pictures from daniel's home comming...... I'll add more pictures later to. :)

i'm just updating my page right now, trying to play with some ideas ;) i didnt mean to tease all of you.... not that anyone looks at my blog spot any more because i'm such a bad blogger.... there will be more to come but right now i'm going to bed :) goodnight!!!!
