Owen Laughing

We finally got a video of Owen laughing...he thought Buddy barking was funny!

Cute 4 month old

Owen was 4 months old on Monday...hard to believe it! Here are some cute pics of my baby boy!

Hanging with Daddy

He looks so excited! LOL!

I love my bath!

Adorable

Jury Duty...it's my civic duty...ugh!

I got called to serve on the Iowa District Jury...kinda crazy but not super excited! I am 27 years old and have been summoned 4 times (this is my 5th!), have reported twice and served once! Really?!

Super Nana and Papa

Tyler's grandparents, Owen's great-grandparents, invited us over for dinner the other night. The food was delicious (as always) and the company was even better! Owen loved visiting his "super" Nana and Papa!

Owen liked listening to Papa's voice and just stared at him for a long time!

However, he had a lot to say to Nana and got very chatty!

Four generations of Frederiksen men

God's Promise

We had a beautiful rainbow as our view after a storm the other night!

Taylor Graduated!

My sister, Taylor, graduated from high school this weekend! We sweated it out through the ceremony but it was worth it to see her walk across the stage! Good job Taylor!

Sold

We sold our house! We had our house listed "For Sale by Owner" and had a contract with an older couple but they financing contingencies. Well they couldn't secure a loan so we decided to skip a lot of the hassle and list with a realtor. We found out the couple couldn't get the loan Monday night...had the realtor come through Wednesday morning...on MLS Thursday...two groups through to look at it on Friday and by Friday night, we had two offers!! We accepted and signed papers on Saturday morning!! Tyler and I celebrated our 5-year wedding anniversary on Friday...selling the house was a great gift from God!! Closing date is set for July 26th...Story City here we come!

Swimming!

Owen and I were invited to go "swimming" for the first time on Tuesday so we joined my friend Allison and her kids in their backyard kiddie pool! It was fun and we had a great time!

A Mother's Day Haircut Dedicated to the Lord

Well Sunday was a very busy day for the Frederiksens. We dedicated Owen to the Lord at church. Which means we vowed to raise Owen to know and love Jesus, and we understand that as his parents we are the first example he will see of Christ followers. It is a big responsibility but one we happily accept and on God's guidance will we rely! Then we celebrated my first Mother's Day. (Last year on Mother's Day is when I peed on a stick and we found out we were pregnant!) Owen got me a card and a massage (so excited!) We got to celebrate with both of our mothers as well! Lastly, we cut Owen's mullet (sigh). This was kinda hard for me but now I realize he looks so much better! Whew...busy day!

Hard to tell but we are in the middle and I'm wearing a long skirt

 

Getting a trim!

Pre-cut mullet

My neck is cold! :)

Taylor's Graduation Open House

 My sister Taylor will be graduating high school this coming weekend but hosted her open house last weekend! She had a blast and enjoyed greeting everyone with a hug! She had a huge smile all day! Justin Beiber even made a surprise appearance! Well a life-sized cutout of Taylor's favorite singer/hottie made an appearance (but it looks real in the pictures!) We are so proud of Taylor...good job lady!

Taylor and Owen pre-party

Tyler was okay with a little peck on the cheek

So Little Time

Wow! So much has happened in the last few weeks but I just haven't had enough time to update the blog...so get ready for new post overload! But first things first, I was just giving Owen a bath when he discovered a new appendage and was grabbing at his penis! Oh boy (pun intended!)

Really?

Well you know the saying about Iowa weather but this is a picture from today, May 2nd. The kicker is that it was in the 80s two days ago!!
