The Bowling Family

Twins Birthday and End of Dec 2011

The twins birthday party was at Boingo Bounce this year. They have been there once and loved it so it was an easy choice. Everyone had a blast. Thank you to all that were in attendance for sharing this special event with us!

1/1/12 Cedar and Turner Seifritz hanging out on the sofa.

1/1/12 Cedar and Kalee Sibley playing house. Im pretty sure she is telling his to put down the magazine and clean up. :-)

1/1/12 This is not a very clear picture but I just loved it. Cedar and daddy went down the biggest slide together. He had such a good time.

1/1/12 Birthday girl!! That smile says it all.

1/1/12 This was really the highlight of their party, the water fountains. Carter ended up with a completely wet sweater!

12/27/11 Can't get enough of this face.

12/27/11 Looking very serious but I think he was just eating and had food in his mouth. :-)

12/27/11 My blue eyed boy is getting so big!

12/28/11 Here is Cedar at a month and a half shy of two years old and look at how few teeth he has! They all came in at the same time and here his gums are getting red with the teeth trying to come through. Poor boy! Doesn't slow him down any!

12/28/11 Playing his video game, Leapster that he got from Santa.

12/30/11 The fish tank is a gift from us to Carter and Calla for their birthday. This is the night that we set it up so it looks very empty but they didn't care bubble were enough to keep them interested.

12/29/11 We had cupcakes on their actual birthday. As you can see Thomas still in full force!

12/29/11 Calla got princesses and the boys had Thomas. Carter had to wear his train hat. Happy birthday to my sweet babies! I can not believe that three years have gone by since that horribly wonderful day they were born! Our lives changed forever that day and I am just so thankful that god blessed us with them! ( and then again with Cedar )

12/31/11 This is what our new years eve activities consisted of this year and I love it. Being parents is such an amazing challenge and the most rewarding thing that either of us has ever done.

Christmas 2011

Christmas has become one of my favorite times of the year in the last few years. I just love the feeling of the holidays and family. I am so blessed in my life and to get to spend time with those I love is priceless. I always know that during holiday time it is a gauratee that I will get to see most everyone. We missed the Bowlings this year, other than Candi of course who we always welcome and enjoy! Happy Birthday Jesus!

12/24/11 These were the finished product of the kids Santa cookie making. It was very fun and messy! So happy to be starting a tradition. They don't know it yet but they will be making Santa cookies with me every year for the rest of their lives! :-)

12/24/11 Cedar in his Christmas best. He had a great time this Christmas, a great age for enjoying it all. However, we went to my mom's church for a Christmas eve service and wow was that a mistake. They were great.... for about five minutes! We snuck out the back door about half way through. Wont do that again for a few years.

12/24/11 All dressed up for church!

12/24/11 Pretty girl. This is still one of my favorite dresses. Her Aunt Amanda made it for her. What talent! It is from last year and it still fits my tiny little girl.

12/24/11 He would climb the walls if he could. Always getting into or onto something.

12/24/11 Santa cookie making.

12/24/11 Cedar too!

12/24/11 Aunt Candi helped A LOT with this process. We love our visits with her.

12/25/11 Our tree and the gifts of love and celebration.

12/25/11 Our nephew Austin.

12/25/11 Uncle Aaron and Cade. Cade got an Ipad for Christmas and I'm pretty sure that is all he did while he was at our house. I see this in my future. I am glad I get a few more years of fun toys.

12/25/11 This is by far the best Christmas gift that the kids got from us. My friend Jenny had got one for her kids and recommended it. This is the best cold weather, hot weather, rainy weather activity EVER! And it fits perfectly in the living room!

12/25/11 Harold. Cedar pronounces it Herold and loves him. This kid is so Thomas the train obsessed. Calla has taking Jesse from toy story in the background.

12/25/11 Stocking stuffers!

12/25/11 Santa thought they needed some exercise for outside as well. Its all about expending energy this year. With three this age, they need an outlet.

12/25/11 Check out that bed head! Santa brought a Thomas the train set which was a big hit. (Although mom and dad have to put it together each time, uggg)
