He's a man of many talents I tell you. He loves to entertain. He loves to make people laugh. He loves to laugh at himself. He's the child who enjoys dressing up, who likes to play with super hero's and who wants to be the life of the party. He is so very opposite his brother sometimes I am even amazed that they are related:) He can't eat Mexican without putting on the sambrero. He can't go to the firehouse without demanding to wear the gear and have me snap a picture. He loves Halloween (for the dress up reason and not for the candy reason). I know that is a shocker to most mom's. He will wear any set of sunglasses, any set of real glasses, and anyone's wig he wants to borrow from a random stranger at a bowling alley. Yes, this happened. Please read my blog about it that I posted a few months ago.
This child is the life of the party and the life of this household. He makes me crazy on a daily basis but he also makes me laugh more than anyone I know. He has a huge heart and is very tender when he needs to be. He's not very brave for scary things but will try almost anything if Steven or I are with him. He's a joy and I am so proud to call him my Owen Michael Kueny:)
In the middle of all the craziness of Home and Garden Show and Spring Break we took some time out to hire a babysitter and head out to celebrate the birthday of our friend, Amanda. I have a lot of friends named Amanda now that I think of it. Just 6 off the top of my head that I can rattle off. I digress....
We went to the Bruhouse. This place is just a small locally owned restaurant off of Main St in Broken Arrow. I love going to places like this to support the local economy and bring back some life into smaller towns. Steven knows the owner (of course) of this place and so he has brought many new people to the Bruhouse. They have free pool and a shuffleboard
also (just FYI). We've never gone on a weekend but I've heard rumors they have live music also.
We had a great time getting out of the house for a few hours and enjoying many great laughs throughout the evening with Amanda and CJ. Hopefully we will have many more dates to come!
Talk to you all soon!
The beginning of SB has been spent with the boys entertaining themselves pretty well. I am super thankful they can do this since the Home and Garden Show brought our business about 100 people I have been calling, talking to, setting appointments for designs, and following up on all appointments. Let me just clarify...I've been working full time. I've had the boys home 24/7 without help because Steven is putting in 60+ hours right now a week. I'm tired. I'm also beyond grateful that I don't have to do this all the time. I love owning our own business but the months of 
February-June are pretty rough. It's not easy and anyone that says owning your own business is so easy because you get to "set your own schedule" has never really owned their own business. There. I'm done and off my soapbox.
Our schedule this beginning of SB has been for me to work all morning and half the afternoon. I try to finish up early so I can take the boys to do some fun activities. Afterall, it is Spring Break for them:) This week has been filled with a lot of swimming. I added them to my plan at my gym and after I work out me and the boys have been doing some massive swimming this week. No wonder kids are so skinny. Swimming is not for the faint of heart. It must burn some massive calories!
Check out Owen's expression in the bottom picture. Classic boys being boys and chasing around each other even in water. Like I said, I'm thankful they entertain each other:) Talk to you soon!
Okay, so Spring Break has crept up on me and I am very behind on blogging. I apologize to my faithful readers. Most of you probably haven't even realized that its been a couple weeks since you read about the latest Kueny adventures. I realize we are not that important to most people:)
The boys finished up their basketball seasons in late February. Owen enjoyed the season "a little bit" and Will loved every single moment of it. Will's team (coached by Steven) ended the season 9-1. The only game they lost was only by 1 basket. Will and Steven still kick themselves over that. Will has 
already moved onto the next sport, which is baseball, with practices already beginning twice a week. Owen isn't doing baseball this season because he demands to play coach pitch and refuses to play with "the babies" in TBall. Since, I can't find 5 year old coach pitch anywhere he is sitting this season out. Fine by me. One kid in sports at a time is much easier anyways.
I hope everyone has had a good Spring Break so far and enjoyed the time off with your kids (hopefully). We had the Home and Garden Show last weekend so each year SB means to the Kueny household...Go NOWHERE and work full time for the BUSIEST 2 weeks of the whole year in our world. Oh well, at least it's been pretty weather and the boys have been able to play. Talk to you all soon!
This weekend Steven was gone to Colorado for a ski trip with some friends. Don't get me wrong..I love trips away with my husband and weekends off from kid duty but I had just come from 18 inches of snow in Kentucky and didn't feel like going to a 12,000 ft elevation mountain range with 1-2 FEET of snow expected for the weekend. I wanted to stay in my nice warm house and play outside with my boys.
Instead...I got this. Snow. Great. Just great. It snowed Friday night, all day Saturday, and we even had some rain/sleet to complete the weekend on Sunday. So much for getting away from the snow. Well, I tried to make the most of it. Saturday we did pretty much nothing but wait for the snow to stop falling. Will had come home from school with a recipe he was dying to try out. Thankfully, we had all the ingredients at home since I was in no way going to venture out to Walmart. Chango Bars were on the agenda and he loved every minute of it!
Saturday was pretty much a day filled with "do whatever you want in this house just don't break anything. oh, and eat whatever you want to." It was about 12:30 and I hadn't really mentioned lunch yet. I was going to make them something but we had all been snacking all day so I just didn't really think about it. Will walks into the kitchen and proudly says, "Mom, I'm making lunch now." He did it all himself and never asked for my help with anything. That's a lunch I could get used to. Chef Will toasted his own bread with jam, microwaved some chicken nuggets and then threw some pretzels in for good measure. He ate it all up and even had seconds on the toast and jam. This is snow food at its finest. Just eat what we have:)
I am FOR SURE ready for some warmer weather. This weather just has me slumbered up inside my own home wearing a beanie, hoodie, layers, gloves, and house shoes at all times. Have I mentioned that our fireplace hasn't been turned off for 3 days? Can't wait to get this months ONG bill.....Bring on SUMMER!!!
proud of him for earning 3 straight A semesters during his first year of a private school where the work load is triple what he had in public school (not knocking public school here but just stating a simple fact). 
(and don't forget the occasional round of golf with his dad) and he is ALL IN. Plays it and practices it with every free moment he has. My children very rarely watch TV because if they are not outside playing these sports they are inside practicing them. Note: my house has very few picture frames with glass (it's already been broken), my walls have holes in
them, my knick knacks are mostly ruined, and we have a broken window frame in our dining room from a golf ball that flew through from one of Owen's good swings. In otherwords...this house is lived in. All the way a boy home and when we move I will be needing to do some major repairs for the new homeowners!
wanting to play for several seasons now. He did a great job defending that base and getting runners out. His team walked away with their first victory last night with a score of 12-8. Will scored 3 runs (he made it very clear to me this morning that he wanted that piece of information included in this blog post). 
Way to go Will and way to shine on and off the field. You make your parents very proud of you!
