7 months

Owen turns 7 months! A few weeks ago Owen mastered the art of sitting up. What a BIG BOY!

Shae and Owen, smile for the camera!

Owen's tall mohawk was growing like a weed, so dad gave him his first haircut! They both did so well

Spa Day

This past wednesday I finally got Alyse to take a half day from work, so that we could have a nice relaxing day at the spa!

Easter

Happy Easter! Like everyone else, we spent Easter hunting for eggs and stuffing our faces with food, chocolate and candy. What more could you ask for?

We just recently did everyone's favorite thing in the whole world...Moving. Yes what a pain it was, but that's what's great about family, always there to lighten the burden. The Hyde's stopped by our new place and visited with us for a while. We are pushing for them to be our new neighbors!

Owen just turned 6 months! Wow that went by kind of fast, and kind of slow. He now has his two bottom teeth and loves to chew on anything and everything.

We put Owen in this walker and he loves it. He's pretty good at navigating where he wants to go and getting himself out of corners as well.

We just introduced solids a few weeks ago. So far he loves sweet potatoes, carrots, and peas. Not a huge fan of the fruit yet, but he will.

Just hangin'. He goes crazy in his jumper. Sometimes when you're holding him, he tries to jump up and down as if he's in him jumper.

HIGHLIGHTS of 2007

On September 24th at 8:43 we welcomed Owen Daniel Gardner into the world! There was a lot of support and his cousins were there anticipating his arrival. He was 5 lbs 15 oz and 18" long.

In 06' Alyse did the mini tri-athalon by herself. Last year she tried to con anybody and everybody that she could, to do it with her and Danny took the challenge. They did so awesome! First swimming followed by biking and then running. Way to go!

In March Lauren and Rene got Married!! They had their dinner at Los Hermanos. The ceremony was held at a neighbor's house of my parents, and the reception was held at another neighbor's house.

On July 8th Alyse and Alysen turned 24! We celebrated with our family by going to Sunday brunch up at Zermott resort in Midway. Of course our mom made us our "Barbie doll" cakes that she has made for us every year since we were little girls. They are always wearing a new creative dress every year!

On June 30th Danny turned 26! We had our annual baseball game at the park. Tracy's vs Gardners. Gardners won! This year the Tracy's need a come back.

In May we got to go to Hawaii for Danny's Christmas present from work. His work sent us earlier than his co-workers since I was going to be delivering Owen when they went in September.

We went with my parents and stayed a week on Kauai and a few days on Ouahu. It was a lot of fun!!!
