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...

Summer Holidays

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...
