Going to the Chapel!!

Dear Uncle Alan and Aunt Monica,
I am so happy that you are getting married!! I can't wait to be in your wedding this weekend. I promise I will be good and carry my pillow really nicely. I promise I won't cry or scream, and I will walk down the aisle like a big boy. My mommy is bringing me some Dum-dum suckers so I can sit and watch the rest of the wedding.

I Love you both,
Bowen
Official Ring Bearer

P.S. I can't wait to dance at the reception!







Congratulations Alan and Monica!!

Daffodils

For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies;
For the love which from our birth,
Over and around us lies;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the wonder of each hour,
Of the day and of the night;
Hill and vale and tree and flower,
Sun and moon, and stars of light;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind's delight;
For the mystic harmony,
Linking sense to sound and sight;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child;
Friends on Earth and friends above,
For all gentle thoughts and mild;
Lord of all, to Thee we raise
This, our hymn of grateful praise.

-F.S. Pierpoint, 1864

Easter Colors

We had a very happy Easter. Last year, we posed Bowen with the eggs, this year, it was all him! He "talks" quite a bit, but when we put the cups of colored dye down in front of him, this boy started talking up a storm! He loved it! It was like he was narrating the whole thing and telling us all what every color was and what to do next. He loved hunting for the eggs and he loved throwing them! We had a happy Easter and hope you did, too!

Colors!

Oooh! Let me see!

This is so much fun!

I like yellow!

Look at those pretty eggs (I call them balls and throw them!)

I am so proud of myself!

Mommy and Daddy helped me!

The Easter Bunny came to my house!

I like looking for these eggs!

Here are some more!

Even on Daddy's truck!

I think I will put them all back up here on the truck!

All ready! Let's walk to church!

Mama and me

All of us

Oh, yeah- I had breakfast with the Easter Bunny- let's just say I didn't like it too much.

Springtime Fun!

Told you I would get back soon! And, there are still more to come...Easter and more...really soon! Enjoy the random pictures below from March 2010! Love to all!



An early Easter basket, for me?

My Memo and me

I am in serious conversation with my Moni right here.

I love being outside, don't you?

Can I mow those flowers over there?

Grammy came from Texas to see me!

Spring has sprung!

Look at my cool lawn mower!

Oh, I love you Missy! Gimme a Kiss!

Playing Catch Up!

The blogging hiatus was not intentional! I have wanted to be on here more than you know. Between work and life and computer crashes, blogging just hasn't made it to the top of the list. We've had snow and Valentine's and just a lot of blessed days. Bowen is growing, and talking, and talking, and growing, and running! He's keeping us busy for certain. His latest favorite words are "cookie" and "cracker". I hope we are coming out of our 3 month funk of being a picky eater...I am seeing signs of hope as he starts to try new things again. I do have a little carb-a-holic on my hands though. I know you are all here for the pics..so I will cut this short. Stay tuned for Easter and spring pictures soon to come.
