What to name the Baby.....Jesus Santa Clause Owens

We can not agree on a baby name for the soon to be boy in our family. Jake pointed out that we had named all our kids with either J's or B's and our names fit that way too which I totally didnt do on purpose. So logically if I was going by that theory I need a B name but I swear they are all used and taken by family members. We have Brad, Brian, Blake, Breck, Braxton, Brody and a Brady that are already named and taken.... leaving me with not much. I don't like Brandon, Bryce, Brock and most of my logical other choices. I do like Ben and Blaine and Bo but I cant commit plus Jen rhymes with Ben so does that make it out as a choice esp. since jake calls her Jenny Benny and Ben is an old boyfriend name but so was Jenny (actually 2 old girlfriends) so we have that cleared and okayed. ANd I am sure my family all thinks of Blaine Nelson who was quite a strange duck. And Bo Owens too many oo 's next too each other and I dont like BEAU. So out of all the B's that is all I like. The other names that are under consideration are Wyatt, Luke, Zane, Justin, Matthew or Kaden. Jake votes for JACOB and to call him CUB and the kids want Jesus santa clause because of his birthday so close to christmas. So do I just give up on the B's and do a Z for the end?

Jenny's no princess

Jenny is such a little boy I am not sure what to do with her. Lately She is so into Batman, dinosaurs, starwars you name it. She has even started to talk in this weird voice that is supposed to sound scary but it is more creepy-like. I know this is probably a just stage and I should be grateful she doesnt want short boy hair too. (SHe will not let me cut it) but it does make me a little sad that is turning 4 in a few weeks and all she wants is a Batman suit and batman cake. Who says BAtman can't be pink right.

IT'S A BABY IT"S A ........

We found out what we were having today. I thought I would record the kids reactions for the big annoucement.. Everything is going well and the baby is big and healthy.

4-wheeler part two

I decided that the pictures did not do justice to how fast and loud this thing is so all of you can see I was justified for my fear here's video.

I am my mother.

Jake found a little four-wheeler for Josh and the girls this week. But mostly for Josh and him to play and do a little boy bonding with.. the only catch was it wasn't running so I wasnt too worried. But today after Josh and Jake were out in the garage for a few hours I heard the motor revin' up. Josh came in with his helmet on yelling "It's all fixed it it's done. " I went out side to see Jake already gone on the wheeler... just testing it out. When he got back it was Josh's turn and that's when I turned into my mother. I just could NOT Believe that Jake was just going to let him get on it and drive. Jake just looked at me and said "RELAX" he will be fine..... and he was surprising enough but I still had a big old knot in my stomach and was so nervous for my little boy. Then Jake decided to take Josh down the ROAD yes he had to ride by himself on the road. I told Jake that I did not think that was such a good idea. again I was told to relax and how he was driving cars when he was eight.. so they went and I followed in the van with a cell phone and Jake's EMT bag. AND they were fine Josh did well and when he got off he said "Man, that was sweet, I love that thing like a brother." And thats good because thats all he might get.

Did it Rain?

We went out to dinner last night and went we got home this was our street. We didnt even get to see the rain fall but the kids did get to play in the water and the monsoon brought it down to 95 degrees out so that was nice too. I made Jake go with the kids and pose so I could show you just how deep the water was and it was all pretty much gone this morning.

First day of School

The kids started school yesterday. They both did really well. Bailey continues to be my brave one and even though she didn't know one person in her class she waved and smiled as we left. So here is comes the next school year. Josh is a third grader and Bailey is in first grade.
