Christmas at the Bowerings

-
We had a fantastic Christmas this year, I will have to post more pics later of our Christmas eve, but these will have to do to start. Christmas eve pics are stored on g-ma and g-pa's camera. We have had a wonderful 2009, we are incredibly blessed and wish you all a very happy 2010.



This was our Christmas card photo this year, along with 3 pics of the boys!!! We tried our best to get all to look but I was satisfied with this photo.



Hudson and Oliver, love to help in the kitchen, this particular day they were in their "terrible two's stage" so I let them stir bubbles while I cooked supper and they were content and didn't want to leave at all.



We are starting to potty train in our house, and I have to admit that potty training 2 kids at the same time isn't the easiest task, I am taking it one day at a time and both Hudson and Oliver are very much interested in it, so wish me luck and send a few prayers my way :)



We got an incredible deal on a bouncer for the kids for Christmas, it wasn't quite fair to them to open the gift and then say "wait until the snow melts"... so for 3 days we blew it up in the house and they went CRAZY - they loved it. It is now packed away and they will get to use it in the new year. At first I thought we were crazy to blow it up in the house but I have since talked to a couple of mom's and they said "we put ours in the house all the time" so that made me happy!!



We got our annual Christmas ornaments, here is Oliver's, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse!!



Mommy's sparkeliee pink high heel :)




Hudson's whimsical Santa Claus



Jackson wanted a police car to compliment his fire truck from last year, he loves it!!!


John's ski and boot !!


Christmas morning, they kids are eating timbits and taking a break from the Santa gifts (which we do not wrap) and our stockings... they are awaiting the wrapped gifts under the tree.
Oliver, Jackson, and Hudson!!



Oliver and Jackson, just having fun with those chocolate timbits!!!


Christmas morning, we had the Disney Parade on in hopes to see the boys' buds Bryan and Tara-Lynn - we hope they had a great time visiting Mickey and Minnie!!!



We went over to Grandma and Grandpa Bowering's in the afternoon of Christmas Day for a great turkey dinner, the boys LOVE LOVE LOVE to play the piano with Auntie Georgina!!!

Hi Nola,

Happy New Year!

That picture of the boys stirring bubbles is the cutest--I could look at it for a long time. . .what a priceless photo!

I love the anecdote with it. I think you should print this in black and white and frame it--what a classic pic. It says way more than a 1000 words.

Soon they will be too big to want to stir bubbles while mama cooks. . .

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

Happy Halloween

Hi Everyone, well I am taking advantage of the time change, we have been up since 6am (I know most of you will say, well really thats 7am) but 6am is 6am. The boys do not care about the time change. So as they are watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, I am updating the blog, finally!!!! Life again has been very busy for us and I don't think it is slowing down any time soon. Hudson and Oliver are now in there big boy beds - they look so little in those big beds. They are doing well with the transition and we still have more accessories to add to their room but after many hours of painting, the mural is finished!!!! I think it turned out awesome and am so glad we did it. Halloween is also finished and the kids got 4 huge bowls filled with candy, it was crazy - I never remembered getting this much candy as a kid!!!! They are set for a long time. John's b-day is coming up so we will go out most likely to a pizza place on his actual b-day and then we will have a family party later on. So

Jackson's Big Boy Room

Hi Everyone!!! Well I'm surprised I have another blog up so quickly. I guess I am just excited about Jackson's room. The last weekend in September we headed to Fargo with our friends and had a great time, hanging out and shopping. Then for Canadian Thanksgiving we headed to Minot to see my family which was nice b/c that will probably be the last time I see them before the babies arrive. We had alot of good fun in Minot, ate alot of good food and I enjoyed shopping with my sisters. Jackson is doing well, he has taken a couple of tumbles down the stairs and now looks at the basement stairs saying "boom boom" "stair fell". We think falling once at home and once at Aunt Valerie's will give him a greater appreciation of the stairs. Like I said at the start, we are so excited that Jackson's big boy room is done. He no longer sleeps in a crib and although it makes me smile to see him being such a big boy, I'm a little sad to see how fast he is gro
