6 Year's Old...Already!!!???

It's so hard to believe that my baby is going to by 6 years old soon!  We will be moving soon, so I wanted to make sure I took some time (even though it's hard to justify lately with all of the packing I have left to do!) to go to some of my favorite places to capture photo's!  We did this entire photo shoot in less than an hour!  He is so easy to photograph and I love how each photo captures a little bit of his amazing personality! 

 

 Sweet face!

 Giggly boy!

 I love this one!  He was running towards me!

 He's just so handsome!!!

 Spinning around and around, getting dizzy!  So fun!  Looks like he's trying to fly away!  :)

 He was holding onto a bar and his foot slipped!  This was literally the face he had when he realized he might fall!  hahaha!

 Hey Baby!!!

Owen's Going Away/Birthday Party

Owen really wanted a party with his friend's and family before our big move to AL. in a couple of weeks.  So, we decided on Jungle Java because our house is in now shape for entertaining.  He invited a few of his friends from kindergarten, his oldest friend, Griffen, and my niece's.  He got a Transformer's cake and we spent 3 hours there, with non-stop fun!

                                                                  Rylie with my niece's

                                                              His gift from his friend, Bo.

 My oldest niece, Simone, drew this picture for him.  It's of our home in MI., with them standing in front of it waving good-bye to us as we drive to our new home in AL.  

                                                From Griffen!  4 ever friends!!!  Yes, they are!

 My cousin, Kevin, was in town from KY. for some Detroit Tiger games.  He surprised us and came to the party!  He brought Owen an orange (his favorite color) Tiger's bat!  Very cool!

                                       The kids!  Bo, Connor, Simone, Sofia, Owen and Griffen!

                                                The Transformer's have invaded Jungle Java!

                                                                 Kindergarten Friend's!

The year for baseball!!!

 This was Owen's first year playing!  He was so excited to get his uniform and be able to walk in the parade in downtown Milan.  It was the perfect weather for opening day!

                                                   Landon, with his team, The Scrapper's.

                                                  Owen, with Lainey (left) and Chelsea (right)

                                              10U Team (Landon, middle row, 2nd from right)

                                                Tee-ball Team  (Owen, middle row, far right)

 Landon pitched last year, but tried his hand at catching this year as well and did a great job!  He's so talented!  He really enjoyed playing this year!  He continues to amaze us every year!

 Owen liked to go to the games, but I think most of it was for social reasons, or to collect pieces of nature (rocks, leaves, etc).  Nathan would always want to know how he did over the phone from working in Alabama and Owen would be excited to tell him about the friend he met at 2nd base or whatever.  He'd also be excited to give me the collection of rocks that he had gathered from standing in the infield for so long.  ha!  He's so precious!

                                                      Owen, in the outfield, during the game!

                                                  Again, in the outfield...during the game!  :0)

 The 4 from the team that made the All-Star game...Esteban, Landon, Nick & Gage.  This year they split up our four, so Esteban and Nick were on the opposing team.  They were all pretty bummed out about it, but they really had fun!  Our team won, but I can't remember the score.

                                     Our team, made up from 5 different 10 U teams, combined.

                                           Landon got to pitch during the game!  He did great!

 After the game, our 4 were so happy to be back together again!  They were saying, "REUNITED!!!"  ha!

                                                                   Together again!

                                                    Pocketing rocks from 1st base!  hahaha!

Trying to be a great pitcher like his brother!  So cute!  Work hard like your brother did and you'll get there!

                                        AWARDS NIGHT

             Running to get his award, oh, he was so excited!  And, I love the looks on the adut's faces!!!

                                                 Great job, buddy!  We are so proud of you!

 Uh oh, Nick getting Shhhh'd by Coach John during the awards.  Never a dull moment Landon's buddies!

        Getting announced as The Only Team Undefeated in Milan this season!  WOW!  Great job guys!!!

       After the awards, the fire department pulled the fire truck up and sprayed off the players!  Fun times!

                                                   Gage & Landon, two great ball players!

                                                              Mikayla & Rylie, best friends!
