Nine Month Pictures

I cannot believe that my baby is 9 months old.  He has been with us for longer that I carried him!  Denise got to spend some time in Cleveland in June, and she came to take some more pictures of Owen.  This was the first time she has taken pictures of him since his newborn session.  He has grown so much!

Denise, I don't even know where to begin trying to thank you for these pictures.  They are absolutely precious to me!

I have picked out a few favorites to post on here, but you will have to go to Denise's website to see them all.  If you see one that you would like a print of, please let me know and I will get it printed for you.

Owen at School...sort of...

While we were in Murfreesboro, Owen and I went to visit Brittney at school.  Her kindergartners LOVE Owen!  Luckily, when we got there, the kids were playing on the playground.  Owen got to hang out with Aunt B while they played.  

Long time, no blog...

Well, it has been a busy time in the Sneed household.  Andy has started playing softball, Owen now has 2 teeth, and Emily is struggling to maintain her sanity!  While such a chaotic lifestyle can be very fun, it definitely puts a damper on blogging.  So, I will try to catch you all up!

My quilt is coming along very nicely.  I have a LONG way to go, but I am really proud of what I have done so far.  If I get a chance, I will post some pictures of the blocks I have finished later.

Couponing is going really well.  It is definitely time consuming, but it is really paying off.  In April, I saved 43% off my total purchases.  So far for May, I have saved 46%!  If anyone in the Chattanooga area is interested, there is going to be another Intro to Couponing class next week.  Let me know if you are interested and I will get you the details.

Andy is enjoying playing softball this year; at least when the games aren't rained out.  This rain is really something.  It seems like there is a chance of rain everyday this Spring!  It is doing wonders for the yard, but we can't enjoy it because we can't keep it mowed!

Andy also got a new Truck a couple of weeks ago.  Well, I say new in the since that it is new to us.  GiGi is now driving our black Altima, and Andy was able to get a Crew Cab Frontier for the price that we sold the Altima for.  Andy really loves his truck, and I am so happy he has it.  He is downright giddy when he drives it.

That brings me to Owen.  My baby is growing up so fast.  On the 18th, he will be 8 months old.  It is crazy to think that it is already time to start thinking about first birthdays!  Here is one of my favorite pictures of him taken recently.  We were at the ballpark watching Daddy play softball.  

Sunday School!

Since it was Easter Sunday and I assumed everyone would be decked out in their finest, I took my camera with me to church and took some pictures of Owen in his Sunday School class.  They were all so cute!!!  Here are some pictures of Owen.  Pictures of his classmates are posted on Facebook.

The Easter Bunny brought Owen a Swing!

For Owen's first Easter, he got a fun swing that is now hanging from a tree in our backyard.  Check out the pictures of my sweet boy.  He loves it!

Half-Birthdays

Owen turned six months old on March 18th.  Owen's two best buddies, Carter and Miles, are also close to the six month mark.  Carter turned six months on March 12th.  Miles will be six months old on April 6th.  We had an Eagles Devotional on Tuesday, March 17th, so I decided to make the three of them a "Half-Birthday Cake."  It was so fun!

Too cute...

I was clipping coupons the other day while Owen was jumping in his bouncer.  He was sort of whining, but I was almost finished, so I just let him whine for a minute.  He stopped whining, so I looked up, and this is what I found...
