Tyler is another year older (and wiser)

My husband just celebrated his 29th birthday! Sadly we are no longer the same age (we are the same age for about 2 months), but now I can learn from his wisdom :) January will mark our 12th year together! I was lucky enough to marry my best friend. I love him because...
-he makes me laugh every single day and he appreciates my humor too!
-he loves Jesus
-he loves our son and is an amazing father
-he is patient (much more than I am!)
-he is calm, relaxed, laid back (maxin' and relaxin', just chillin', takin' things as they come)
-he is loyal
-he prioritizes family and appreciates his upbringing
-he is a great role model to the boys he coaches
...and there are a million more reasons I could list but I don't really do the mushy stuff well and have reached my quota ;) I love you babe! Happy Birthday Hubby!

Owen is 11 months old!

Owen is now 11 months old which blows my mind! Where has the time gone?? Everyone tells you how fast time flies with children but I don't think you truly understand until you have your own! Owen is such a blessing and brings a smile to our faces everyday! God is good!

At 11 months old Owen can...
-walk
-crawl
-climb up stairs (not down yet)
-wave
-clap
-"snap" (he makes the snapping motion but it doesn't make the snapping sound)
-pray (folds his hands)
-sign...
   *puppy   *car
   *hat     *ball
   *please    *more
-blow kisses
-high five
-pound/knucks
-point to his toes, belly and sometimes ears
-do "so big"
-say mama and dada (but not necessarily to us specifically yet)
-say "buba" (Buddy)
-say nana (banana)

It seems like he literally learns something new everyday! He never ceases to amaze us! We love you big guy!!
