Bowman's September through October

We blessed Spencer on September, 18 and this was our best shot. We loved having lots of family come and support us, yet we neglected to get any pictures of the extended family!

While my Dad was here for Spencer's blessing, we went to tour the Conference Center. Here is Camree and her cousin Vivien. They are almost exactly 3 months apart, and my sister and I get together often, so we are often asked if these two are twins. They sure do have fun together!

The 'Twins' on the top of the Conference Center. Water...need I say more?

More water. My nephew CJ is in the forefront, while my Dad is wrestling the 'Twins' in the background. My sister Charla is supervising on the side.

The only time she's ever fallen asleep at the table.



Spencer at 2 months old. I am trying to capture his growth and use his frog as a measurement for size.

Two months old. Trying to get used to tummy time. Camree wasn't fond of it either until she was a lot older.

Camree after her first s'more. She loves them!!



We decided to take the kids to a pumpkin patch. It's supposed to be fun for kids and we hadn't done it yet, so this was our first. The standard pose behind the cutouts. Spencer even joined in the fun! (Camree, Mommy, Spencer.)

Camree found Corey through one of the walls of the hay bale maze at the pumpkin patch. We will be going to a pumpkin patch each year!

He sure is growing! Spencer at 3 months old.

Picture update 1 (end of July through end of August)

Spencer at one week old.



Camree, my mom, and Spencer. Everyone is excited, just not happy!



Spencer at one month old.



Spencer stretching in one of the most uncomfortable looking positions ever.



Camree thought Tigger needed to be buckled in safely.

Long Overdue!!

It has been too long since I last posted anything. My cousin wished I posted more (finally someone said something!) in a recent email, so I thought I would try better. There is so much to catch up on, that I doubt I'll get to it, but I am up for the challenge!!

First, Corey finally is set to graduate with his Master's in Architecture. If any of you out there know any architecture firms hiring interns (what his job title will be for the first three years out of school, until he is able to get licensed), let us know. As we start this new phase, we realize that at this point in life, it is important to work, so we are open to moving anywhere!

I am trying as best I can to take care of the two kidlets. Sometimes, as with all things, this is easier on some days than others, but we try to have fun each day and laugh lots. They are growing and such fun.

Camree is 2, and sure is talking tons. We can't understand everything she says, but she is funny as she learns to communicate better. I won't even be able to make a list of her vocabulary and so just know that she will talk your ear off. She loves people, and still is a daddy's girl (also a grandpa's girl as both my Dad and Corey's Dad love). She is nearly done with potty training (yeah!!), but still has some struggles. We'll get there!!

Spencer is so different than Camree. Besides being a boy as the most obvious difference, he is mellow, just happy to be in the same room as us. He is learning to sit and does so well for quite a while. He is a great eater. He is so ticklish, nearly everywhere, and has been full-on laughing since he was two months old.

I have been busy making a cloth quiet book for the kidlets in my spare time. I also have been on a mission to get our house really organized.

Sorry this is without pictures, but it's been so long since I posted with pictures that I can't remember how! Sad, I know!!!

Here we go again

I know I should update everyone on Camree and the new baby boy, but I haven't felt up to it. I have found these giveaways that I wanted (not really) to let everyone else know about, so go here or here , and here to try!

Another awesome giveaway!!

I have wanted a Cricut machine for awhile, but this one is even better!! Go here or here or here to check out the Silhouette SD Machine. Most of these also are having sales on the machine and other products too!

Be Well Blog

I know I haven't posted in ages, and you would think that my first post catching you all up would be about Camree, but surprise!!! It isn't. That is all still to come, I promise. I know I have been a bad blogger, but I am hoping to get back to it soon. In the meantime, check out this blog.

I am a sucker for workout at home videos and programs. Why not? Safety, no one else watching you, do it whenever you want to, and more.

6 months plus

Sitting in her Bumbo again. We love it and she keeps trying out new positions.



Saying bye to Grandma Grover.



Getting ready to go 'swimming' at the Gateway water fountain.



Swimming at the pool at our friend's apartment complex. At first she liked it, but when we went in later, it was too cold.



Excited to go to the zoo.




Having fun with Aunt Heidi.



She had a lot to say from the pulpit at the Church History Museum.



Sleeping peacefully.



Trying out her new ride. Still has to grow a little to be safe.



Getting ready to eat rice cereal for the first time. We took video of her and I will try to post it later.



6 months old!



Interacting with the sign.



Watching tv like Grandpa Bowman.



Playing nicely in her pack and play.


She has changed so much in the last month. She is doing well physically, (stats will come later), and we continue enjoying her presence. She is trying to start inching forward on her
belly, loves water, and is still so happy all day.
