Monkey Boy

Such a handsome little boy.

Waiting for his cereal and peaches!

He will be 7 months on the 26th of January! It makes me sad to think he is growing up SO FAST! But he sure is a cute little stinker!

2010-2011

Well Last year was a good year for us, hard but I wont complain.

First off I want to say how proud I am of my husband for working hard enough he was offered 2 promotions within 3 months! He is now a Central Coastal Regional Manager for Texas working for APX Alarm (which will be changing their name shortly.) Going from him gone from 8am- 9, 10 or later in the pm to having him home ALL day long working on the computer/phone has been an adjustment for ALL of us. I LOVE having him here, but at the same time it brings some discomfort on both our ends. Hopefully sometime in the future they will be able to get him his own office where he can work with out his crazy family running around. But until that day Ill be loving him being home. :)

Second- we are having ANOTHER BABY BOY! We are excited yet overwhelmed to think we will have THREE kids all under the age of 3 and a few months. :) Ethan will turn 3 on Feb 8th, Riley will be ONE June 26th and baby #3 will be here sometime in the middle of May. My due date was moved to the 12th of May so we will see when he gets here. We have a few names picked out but nothing for sure... Layne really likes Mason Tyler Bowen, I like it too but I'm trying to decide HOW MUCH I like it. My choice would either be Jonah Tyler or... well that's about it, because all the other names I did like have been crossed off the list due to lack of interest from my other half. :)

We are all doing great and waiting to see what the New year will bring to our growing family, but just so we all are straight it wont be bringing any more babies to this house hold, other then the one on his way! Hope everyone had a wonderful 2010 and cant wait to share the up coming year with you all!

*.* Bananas and Cereal*.*

Riley has been eating baby food for a little bit but I just loved his reaction to the bananas tonight. He just couldn't contain himself. :) Either that or he just loves his daddy to feed him or both.

Bath time for Riley, and Ethan insisted on helping to wash his hair... what there is anyway.Riley all smiles.
All clean and ready for bed. :)

*.*A little of everything*.*

Our Christmas tree, I figured that we are not getting snow so I needed something to get us in the Christmas spirit. :) So I skipped right to Christmas!

Daddy and Ethan Putting the finishing touches on the Christmas Tree!

Helping mom put the spirals in the tree.

My little cuddle Bug!

Riley gets stuck a lot...

We took the kids to the Houston Childrens Museum and after they were both very worn out. :)

They had a little grocery store for the kids so they could actually shop and had touch screen check out counters. Ethan LOVED it!

8 Weeks 3 Days

Whoopsie

May 15th 2011 we will have another little sweet spirit in our home. It wasn't planned and we know its very quick. So we are thankful for all the support out there and those that have nothing nice to say... Keep it to yourself cause I don't want to hear it. :)
I know that the Lord knows best and so I keep praying to him asking for his guidance and his help to keep me patient and able to just put one foot in front of the other. Some days are better then others and I am thankful for the trust that the Lord has to send us another special spirit into our home knowing it will be changeling, but then again I'm always up for one. I haven't been feeling to bad just like I said some days are better then others and I feel blessed to have such a great family and great friends who support us.

All smiles

Cookie face

Elmo was telling them a story of the giant... Its great to watch Ethan copy Elmo.

They are just always excited around here.

He says to me, "MOM, IM A TURTLE. ha ha this boy makes me laugh.

While he sleeps....
They play and he sleeps right through the electric guitar and Ethan's Loud singing. :)

Just Hanging out with Ethan while Riley was sleeping, I feel so bad sometimes cause I get so busy with Riley I don't get to play with Ethan, so I take all the chances I get.

So relaxed.

Talking and singing to dad.

I just love his smile. Its so sweet.

the look of mom would you put that away now I'm done.

I have to watch this nut, he likes to climb up the shelves in the pantry to get to the cookies... and as you can see once again he still found them after I put them on the VERY TOP BEHIND the cereal boxes...
