Owen Turns 9

I can't believe I have a nine year old! It is true, they grow up so fast. And Owen is literally growing, he's getting so tall. His big boy teeth are coming in nicely, too. He still loves to read, his favorite books right now are The Diary of a Wimpy Kid series. He is still into his DS and the computer. He earned straight A's on his report card, the kid makes us proud.

We drove to Lake Havasu on Owen's b-day to spend the weekend with friends, when we got there they pulled out a beautiful cake and presents. It was so thoughtful, and Owen was so surprised. We had a great time at the lake. Owen tried wake boarding, snorkling, wave runnering, but I think that the kids had the best time getting pulled behind the boat in the tube.

They were filming a movie at Havasu when we were there, Piranha 3D. We had to tell the kids at least a 100 times that there were not flesh eating fish in the lake!

Owen just read this and wanted me to clarify that he did NOT ask 100 times, more like 3.
