Hawaii 2019

-


We went to Hawaii for the summer of 2019 - It was absolutely amazing.  As I was scrolling through my pictures as soon as the Hawaii pictures popped up the colors on my screen changed.  They were so vibrant.  As I posted this to Instagram, many people posted that they felt the pictures were photo shopped - they weren't.   The colors were so vibrant when were were in Hawaii - we would say so many times driving "Wow look at the colors, look how blue the ocean waters are"  It was really quite crazy how often we said it.   
 
In Hawaii we stayed at a beautiful Air BnB -  We were in Hawaii 10 days - during this time we rented a van and we explored every inch of the island.  We went to so many beaches, did tons of snorkeling.  Our favourite place was called "Sharks Cove"  We loved seeing all the fish and the clear water.  The boys would get so excited and at times had a hard time breathing with their snorkel.   I got a bit nervous one time when we saw a sea snake - YUCK - John kept telling me it was an eel - IT WAS NOT AN EEL - the boys were always on the look out and always prepared me if they saw another sea snake.  We saw giant sea turtles, and so many colorful fish it was truly fabulous. 
 
 We hiked up Diamond Head - the stairs were insane.   We also did a great hike to a waterfall.  We crossed over a "no trespassing" sign to get it. Leave it to John to break the rules.   I was okay doing this hike b/c John let me know on the airplane that Hawaii doesn't have any snakes.   We walked through a beautiful forest of bamboo and made are way to the end which was a great waterfall. 
 
 We also enjoyed eating island snow, great food trucks and a fancy restaurant.  The boys still talk about Halweia Joes - they want to go back, we keep saying we aren't going back to Hawaii anytime soon.   We have spoiled them because now when we plan a trip they say...."can we go to one fancy restaurant like the one in Hawaii?"   They had giant prime rib and John and I ate marlin - it was AMAZING.   
 
So needless to say, our trip in Hawaii created a ton of memories, from the beautiful scenery, to the crazy plan rides  - John, Oliver, and Jackson getting super sick when we arrived home and once again the best snorkelling.   Two thumbs up for Hawaii!!

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

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

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
