Henry's Blessing Day

We love bowling

We have found a new family outing that we all enjoy. Bowling has been something fun for us to do while it is cold and dark out. 
Braxton is working on not using the bumpers. He doesn't want them up anymore.
Luke likes to take the heaviest ball to throw down the lane. He has great posses too.

Happy Birthday Bjorn!

After Henry came home my cousin had a birthday since we were the only family around he was forced to have Birthday dinner with us. He and his wife Beth are so much fun. They love the boys, Beth wears them out for us so they sleep really well after they leave.



Hip Hip Hurray!

Henry Derek Bowen

Well it took me long enough to get some pictures added on to our site. Henry was born at 11:24 p.m. on Friday January 30th. I was scheduled to be induced the next morning at 6 a.m. He just didn't want to wait until Saturday. Now our boys all have different birth months but their birthdays are on the 30th, 31st and 1st. We thought that was fun. Henry was back up to his birth weight by 5 days old. He is doing really well. His brothers love to hold him and help out around the house. We were very fortunate to have good friends here to help with the boys Kerri Schow watched the boys. We thought we were just going in to get checked however they said I was ready to go. The boys slept over at Kerri and Blake's house. Our dear friend Kate Blair was kind enough to go pick up Nate's mom Anne at the airport at 9:00 and bring her to the hospital so she was there when Henry was born. That was another great blessing, to have her there all week. It was so nice having all her help with food, cleaning and the boys. Nate of course is amazing. He has taken care of everything for me. I am recovering very quickly because he has not let me lift a finger. He has the boys wrapped around his finger. They adore their dad. I love it. We are so happy to have Henry here!

We can't decide on a name!

Hey everyone, If you haven't heard the doctor bumped up my induction date. JANUARY 31! I really want to have a name picked out. Please let us know what you think on our poll. We have 10 days or less:)

Sledding at -18 degrees :}

Well we have to do it. To get out side these days we bundle up in our warmest gear and cover as much of our body and faces as possible. We have all wanted to get out and it has been so cold so we just decided to go for it. Braxton and Nate walked over to the elementary school and started sledding while I got Luke and myself ready to brave the cold and have some fun. We played on the sledding hill for a while and then Luke was done. Nate and Brax stayed longer and had a blast. Yes, it was -18. Braxton is a very tough kid and loves to play in the snow. Luke loves it too but it is hard work when it is soo cold. 

Ready or not here he comes!

Well friends and family here I am! I have 4 weeks left. My doctor has scheduled me to be induced on Feb 4th. Which is the same timing that our little man's brothers decided to come. Hopefully no surprises;) I am hoping that is when he comes because Grandma Bowen is coming the day prior to that. Yea!!!!!
