What a Week!

It has been a busy week around the Owen house! First of all Bryson won the Reflections contest for his category Visual Arts! He is moving on to the next level! It is his first time entering! We are so proud of him!

Here is a picture of the picture he drew with Oil Pastels.
And here is him and his trophy!

Next, I made a wedding cake last week! It was for Bryce's cousin Evan and his wife Ann. I was super stressed about it because I hadn't done the draped fondant before. I think it turned out nice though!
Here is the finished product! The flowers weren't quite what I was expecting, a little overbearing, but still nice.

Here is my part of it!

I had to include this close up, these flowers looked so nice, that was more of what I was expecting for the rest of the cake. But, I wasn't incharge of the flowers, so oh well!

Lastly, Elysabeth just had her first haircut this morning! It wasn't on purpose though! Ty was mad at me for not folding a paper properly for cutting a snowflake. Of course, I was on the phone and distracted, but he was so mad he took the scissors and cut off a lock of Elysabeth's hair, right in front of me! Good thing I was talking to my mom because I screamed and had to hang up! Luckily she has crazy curly hair and I think it will blend it, but here is the picture!
The cut part sticks out funny from just to the left of her flower!
This is what she thinks about the whole thing!
What!!!!!!!

Snow Fun!

We had a fun snow storm last week! The kids had a blast playing in it!
We built a fort, but never got to the second layer! The balls were so heavy, I was too tired! How lame is that?

McKay and Ty's snowman!

Libby could barely walk in her warm suit, but she had fun! She kept falling down face first in the snow, but never cried!

Happy Halloween

We had a fun halloween! We carved pumpkins Monday night, and it was so warm Alyssa was worried they were going to rot by Friday, but they made it!


We had Indiana Jones!
Bryson

A darling witch!
Alyssa

A cute cowboy! (Bryce wore this costume when he was little)
McKay

A scary dragon!!
Ty

A sweet lady bug!
Okay, she is so the last child! We didn't get a picture of just her in her costume! Lame! So here she is with her little cousins! I guess I will throw it on her today and snap one for the scrapbook!

For those who know the family, here are the Sweeney cousins, minus Summer's kids! We are so happy to have Tiffany and her family back for good!
