Owen = 11

Owen turned 11 this summer (back in June, I've been bad about updating).  I guess you'd say he's  in the tween stage.  He's become our free baby-sitter for short outings. Well, not really free since it seems we pay it back to him in the form of $20 socks!

At eleven he:  loves sports (especially basketball), enjoys school, spends a lot of time with friends, looks through my Instagram, has a little bit of an interest in girls, loves neon colors, expensive socks, shooting free throws, TV, any form of food, and continues to be an awesome big brother (although at times he's too cool for us).  

Since his closest friends all play on different baseball teams it was hard to find a time for a "more-than-one-kid" sleepover anytime around his birthday. Instead he waited until Miles went on vacation in early August and had a few boys stay over.

What actually goes on when friends are over. Too bad you can't smell the stinky boys through the picture. 

Spent lots of hours at the pool this summer. 

Hanging out with buddies at a baseball game. 

Like I mentioned...he will eat anything.
