Climb Time Part 2... Owen @the bottom!
Toothless!
I wish I could remember when this happened, but those are clearly the teeth (missing teeth) of my now-nine-year-old. I'm mad at myself for not posting more frequently. And even madder to find that it has been THAT long. This photo didn't publish, and I didn't even realize it until today. So this is Ben @grade 1, and I'm fast-forwarding to Ben @grade 4.
Must. Do. Better.

"Hey Connor Guess What.."
Our friend Robyn drives Owen back & forth from daycare to preschool every day. She usually has him, her daughter, and Connor who is one of Owen's "best buddies.". She says the conversations that she overhears are a real hoot. Yesterday she overheard this...
Owen: "Hey Connor my cat is getting spayed this weekend."
Connor: "What is spayed?"
Owen: "I have no idea."
Possible that no one thinks it's funny but me, but it made me laugh out loud when she texted me with the exchange!
I did ask Jason what he has been sharing about spaying a cat.. He said that yesterday morning he mentioned that it's time for him to take "Shadow," a female cat who just showed up at our house one day, to spay her.
Good thing that he didn't elaborate on the topic of "spaying" or I think we'd have a very educated pre-K class on our hands!

Owen's Fashion Sense
No, that's not one of my boys! (but Owen did look cute in that hat for a few minutes while we shopped around TJ Maxx)
That's Kallie, one of Owen's friends who is also his Pre-K classmate. She had birthday in December and both boys went to her "girly" party (and had fun!).
Owen was excited about picking out her birthday present.
It took awhile but after several rounds of swapping this in and that out, he settled on the hat, shirt, and purse shown above. He chose the purse because of the "lip gloss and hair stuff" that it came with. According to him girls just love lip gloss! ha!
Kallie loved the outfit and put it on right there at the party... which totally made Owen's day.
He will make some woman a great husband one day. He's very complimentary - "Mom I love your new necklace." And he's great at noticing new things... a new dress, new shoes, even a new purse. And he has great taste. I'm wearing the penguin necklace that he chose as a Christmas gift right now.
Sweet little guy... rough and tumble, but full of surprises!
Christmas 2010 @the Indiana State Museum
We go each year just before Christmas to the Indiana State Museum. The boys think it's cool to see the Indiana history, especially the areas with rocks, animal tracks, and formerly live animals (now stuffed!). They ride the train and sit on Santa's lap for our official kids w/Santa photo. And they visit the gift shop, which is always the most important stop of any museum!
And a fun sleigh photo before we left... after about 12 takes, this was the one that exhibited the most cooperation by both boys!
New Jerseys
I don't know how it happened, or when, but our little boys have become, well boys!
Boys who are into sports jerseys and sports. Always wanting to throw a football. Playing soccer and basketball, and tennis. They both wanted Purdue jerseys, and Owen put both Purdue and Colts jerseys on his Christmas list.
And out of nowhere, Ben started asking for Nike fleece, hi-top tennis shoes, Under Armour, and North Face. He's a big fan of Dick's Sporting Goods. Thankfully I'm a big fan of thrift stores who sell Under Armour and North Face for mere pennies on the dollar!
Oh how quickly they grow up.
If We had Sent a Christmas Card..
it would have looked like this..
Last year I had the cards printed but never got them mailed.
The year before I didn't mail them until March. And a few, I've learned recently, were addressed but never mailed.
So this year, this is your Christmas card.
Merry Christmas 2010!
With love from the Huff family
My Boys!
Love this photo of my 3 guys... so handsome, even if I do say so myself.
And clearly I also love zip-neck sweaters! Haha!
