Random November Happenings...

Brad started a new job a few weeks ago.  So far, so good!  He is working in compliance for a company in the health industry and really enjoying the standard hours and short commute!  His company sent him to Cleveland for a week, so I took the opportunity to do some traveling myself.

 

Owen and I flew to San Diego for a week and completely surprised my mom!  She had no idea we were coming and we had a great time.  Owen loved the warm weather and feeding the horses with Great Grandpa Fox.  He also loved exploring new territory and picking flowers for Grandma.

Not sure if the flower made it into the house in one piece, but he was sure proud of himself!

 Brad and Owen had a few "guys night" where they ate dinner and watched sports together in the family room.    

Owen sported some Fox family pride on Thanksgiving with the Hardcastles

And we have officially entered the tantrum stage.  Fun!  Luckily they are few and far between.  Mostly it is when I won't give him any more snacks after his 3rd snacktime of the day.  The boy loves his snacks!

This little boy of ours...

Is pretty special.  Is my best bud.  Is so handsome.  Is the sweetest little boy, always giving us hugs & kisses.  Is funny.  Is so smart.  Is the best thing that ever happened to us!

We love you baby Owen! 

Happy Halloween!

 Last Wednesday was a Halloween themed mutual.  Since Brad and I are both in YM/YW right now (my last week for me... I'm so sad to go!) Owen got to come along with us.  We decided to whip out a family themed costume.  We could only get Owen to keep the hat on long enough for this picture, but don't we look good! 

I was bummed that Owen got a little cold Saturday that kept us from a friend's Halloween party... our costumes would have taken 1st prize.  Right, Nicki?!

Yesterday, we went to Brad's work and did some trick or treating office to office.  It was sweet!  He got more candy in 15 minutes than we would have gotten in 2+ hours of walking house to house.  Since he's still so little, we called it good and didn't do anymore trick or treating that night.  Probably our last year of ever getting away with that!

Last weekend we met up with some friends and went to the "Boo at the Zoo".  Basically everyone dresses up, walks around & looks at animals, and trick or treats at different vendor spots along the way.  It was pretty fun!  Of course, Owen had to sport a zoo-appropriate costume for that, so he was a cute little monkey.

 Cutest little monkey I've ever seen!
