Summertime

-
Hi Everyone - We LOVE summer. Since I've last been here we have been having fun in cottage land. First was father's day and that was great - we spoiled dad - he got a bocce set, crocket set, 2 XBOX games, the XBOX play and charge kit, and a book called McMafia,and a nice lounging lawn chair - oh yes and the "dad" willow tree angel b/c he needed to be represented in my collection - dad was really spoiled and had a great day and John had a great 20 oz steak!!!

We also spent some time at my sister and brother in law's cottage at Lake Metigoshe that was alot of fun, the weather was great and the kids had soo much fun.

Then the last weekend in June we spent our first weekend of the year at our cottage, for those of you who don't know where it is, it is in Lake of the Woods, which is in Ontario. We spent this last weekend of June/July 1st with our friends Jonathan and Karen and their kids Josiah and Jessie, we had sooo much fun, the weather was great, we had a fire, we set off fireworks, even the one day it rained, I went swimming (which is probably my favourite thing to do, I love swimming in the rain or just plain old swimming in general). We are now home for a short bit and then heading back out to the cottage for another 10 days.

Hudson and Oliver are continuing to do well, they are slowly getting over bad bad colds and its hard to believe that on the 13th they will be 6 months old - where has the time gone - Jackson is his chatty little self and just loves being outdoors teaching his brothers new things everyday.

Me and my boys keep ourselves busy with a mom's group, going shopping, we attended the daycare BBQ and also went to John's work for a BBQ - its fun just hanging out and doing things with my little men.

I also am about to turn 33 - I told someone a little bit ago that I was turning 32 - I guess my brain isn't up to par but I will be 33 this year and my 32nd year has been a good one. Also, John and I will be married for 5 years this July 26th - we were chatting the other night thinking wow 5 years ago did we ever think we'd have a house, 3 kids, a mini - van, we are just incredibly blessed and life is soo good.

I hope you all are having a terrific summer and I'll post more pics soon.





Here is Jackson getting ready for the boat ride on the pontoon(spelling?).



Oliver and Hudson, best buds, they always like to hold hands :)

Jackson is getting braver and braver floating in his life jacket, he loves to put his face in the water and blow bubbles and he really like to drink the water

Oliver and Hudson like to hang out on the boat, they love the rocking of the waves

Look at my smart Hudson reading his book - just maxing and relaxing, enjoying cottage life

Oliver would rather be napping than reading :)

Jackson loves his car and driving it on the waves

Jessie and Hudson, we're still not sure if she wants Hudson to be her boyfriend or Oliver

Hi All, Hope Everyone is keeping well and that life is treating everyone good. Once again its been awhile since we have written a little story. I cannot believe how fast time is going and that soon March will be over, its crazy to me. Life in the Bowering household is very good. Work is going well for John and myself. Jackson is doing GREAT. He still isn't walking but I am convinced he totally knows how to do it independently but I think he thinks..(man life is great, my mommy and daddy carry me around everywhere) He walks along the walls and furniture and climbs up and down the stairs but soon he will walking independently. Jackson is quite the talker he says ALOT of words, and they are very clear, his favourite words are bubble, cookies, mommy, dad, apple, ball, bull, puppy... that's just a few he can say more. he is also signing quite a bit. He knows more and eat, those are his favourites but he likes finished and milk as well. I'm very proud of my little boy. You may t...

Wow I can't believe how much fun I had this summer. I did lots of things, I am all tuckered out from the fun. I have been growing very fast, I'm already 9 months old. I love ice cream, chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy, and mom even gave me a taste of her french fries, but shhhhhh don't tell dad. Have fun reading about our summer, hope you like the pictures. I LOVE the water and swimming and taking baths are so much fun. Well it has been awhile since John and I have done anything with this blog. We have had a busy summer so now that we are actually home, we can try to make more regular updates! Our summer was mostly spent relaxing at the cottage at Lake of the Woods. We had a fantastic time. Jackson absolutely loves the water. He did lots of swimming, went for a canoe ride, tried to help with fishing, and took walks in the sand. Almost every weekend was spent at the cottage, which was great because we have been so blessed with such great weather. We also took a trip ou...

The Twins

I've had a two hour nap since Saturday morning so I'm going to try keep this brief and too the point. On Saturday night Nola's contractions came out of nowhere. They started at about 9:20pm and by 10:30 they were 10 min apart. By the time we got to the hospital a little after 11pm they were 5 min apart. After checking her out, they rushed us in to the O.R. as if the twins were going to explode out of Nola at any second. All the doctors, nurses, anesthesiologists etc were ready and waiting.... and waiting... and waiting... After 5 hours of the twins just about being born the doctor decided that things had stalled and announced that we would be having a c-section. They kicked me out of the room, put Nola under and about 1o minutes later at about 4:05 am on January 13, Hudson John Bowering arrived in this world at 6 pounds, 13 ounces. And it was only 60 seconds after that that Oliver Finn Bowering made his entrance at 6 pounds 3 ounces (both were 21 inches long). I go...
