The Horner Family Blog: 4th of July

We had a wonderful 4th of July with the little guy. We kicked off the weekend with his first firework show with the entire Russell side of the family. Owen is always up for a party, probably because he is the center of attention and gets to be held the entire time by lots of nice women! He was held by Dodie (great grandmother) during the firework show and didn't cry once. He was awake and his eyes got really big with each loud boom. He is such a trooper. The next day we left for the lake and were able to celebrate the holiday weekend with the Horner family. We had great weather. Owen is a great traveler and seems to enjoy the movement of the car and watching all the colors go by through the windows. This weekend was when Owen started smile back at you. He has the greatest smile. More pictures of smiles to come. While at the lake he loved spending time with his grandparents, uncles, aunts and lots of friends! He still hasn't been on the boat yet, and I don't think that will happen for a little while. He does like the dock (again, I think it is the movement). I have includes some pictures below....

happy 4th of july!!!

just snoozing with my awesome parents

life guards izzy and kate are on duty - love swimming with us. Although I think they are confused as to why we are in the water, they seem to enjoy it. Kate especially takes of the life guard roll and swims laps around you. It is pretty funny!
