Ben and I took Owen on a special trip last night! First we had dinner at McAlister's, which is a real treat for Owen, since we hardly EVER eat out with him! Last time we ate out with him, we decided we'd wait until he was about 5 to do it again! He's just all over the place, and it's just no fun to scarf your food down and chase a toddler all over a restaurant! But anyway, we went to McAlister's last night well-prepared...we took a train, a plane, an excavator, a horse, colors, and a coloring book! And he did GREAT! He seemed to really enjoy eating out!

Next we were off to see Santa!! We had been talking about this event for a few days, so Owen was all ready to give Santa his list! We took him to Bass Pro, where they had the most BEAUTIFUL Christmas scene set up. Owen walked right up to Santa and sat on his lap and told him he wanted "Lofty," a Bob-the-Builder truck. I actually think this was the real Santa Claus. He knew all about Bob-the-Builder and Thomas the Tank Engine. He knew all the names and everything! I was so impressed!! Enjoy the pics!





This is Owen's new grumpy face! LOL!

A boy is Truth with dirt on its face,
Beauty with a cut on its finger,
Wisdom with bubble gum in its hair,
and the Hope of the future with a frog in its pocket.

Fall 09

It's been a while since I've put any pictures up, so here are just a few that I've taken over the last couple of weeks. Check out the video in the next post.


Here's Owen in the dirt! This kid LOVES dirt, sand, rocks...anything he can scoop up with his excavators and dump trucks. He's all boy!



My parents came last weekend to visit. Owen really enjoyed digging in the dirt with them!



Looks like they're having a little fun, too...



Left to right: William, John-Bailey, Nathan, and Owen



We lined them all up so we could take a picture of the bottoms of their feet. The Cooke boys never wear shoes around here, so their feet stay filthy. And now Owen doesn't like to wear shoes outside, either! I wish you could see how nasty their feet are, but the picture doesn't do it justice!
