LittleBowyn is 2!

I can't believe that my baby boy is 2! The Wednesday before his bday I found out about free zoo day, so we headed up to see how the animals were fairing. Bowyn was so excited to see the cats. He has been practicing his roaring for months now and couldn't stop once he saw all of them. Of course most of the cats at the zoo are more winter acclimated, so they were much more active and visible then at other times of the year. This, of course, added to the excitement as they were very close up. Bowyn kept trying to touch them saying, "mommy, soft?" His other favorite was the giraffes. When we walked in the other kids ran and climbed up on the rail because the animals were close up and eating. Bowyn, being smaller, laid down on his tummy and tried to fit his head through the railing underneath, reaching his had out saying,"here raff, cumher raff." When he realized that his head would not fit, he ran to me and had me hold him up and reached his hand out trying to pet the giraffe. He was very excited! Thanks to my sister and her little boy who came to help keep up with all the kids. It was a fun day!
Bowyn's bday was exciting for everyone. He wasn't sure what to make of everything. He kept saying that Santa had brought him his presents, but once the opening happened all was forgotten and I think he got a bit overwhelmed with everything, but he was happy and fun to watch. We actually videoed everything, but I couldn't get them to upload, maybe another time. He did blow his candle right out, he knew just what to do. No his wheels on the truck really are cake, even though they look like donuts with sprinkles! Blueberry sat on his shoulder for the first time as well and I think it was a good bonding moment for the two of them. Happy Birthday (late) to my little guy. We got him moved over into his toddler bed on his bday as well. The first couple of nights and naps were rough, but I think he is adjusting well. We left the crib up because in about 9 weeks it will be filled, yet again. They grow so fast!

2025 IN REVIEW: The Anticipation of Good Things to Come

Image
 2025 has been a year of anticipation. On alert for what would be happening or not happening in the future. I love the phrase "anticipation for good things to come." This season is a season of "anticipation of good things." We hope more, we try more, we focus on faith more as we anticipate this holiday season. There is a lot to look forward to. The concerts, finals week, the end of term, time off work, the beginning of a new year, Christmas celebrations, Christmas Eve, then Christmas morning, time with family, friends and loved ones, memories.  This year has been a year of good things that have come.  Brent has been so blessed with a job a Nelson Labs for 19+ years. He continues to excel at his role as a consulting study director. He had a lot of time off this year with our family. We traveled with him to California, St. George, Lava and star gazing chasing. He finished our basement, built beautiful things in our yard and as always yielded beautiful fruits and veget...

2024 review

Image
 Dear Friends and Family,  2024 has been a year of change and growth for our family.  Brent continues to work at Nelson laboratories. His position has shifted. He is now a consulting study director for Chemistry. He has also been tackling the project of transforming the unfinished basement into a 2 bedroom apartment. He loves to be outside with the kids and in the yard. A knee injury has been keeping him from time in the mountains, but he is hoping that his careful care of it will help him heal and he will have more time there next year. He has been serving as the Sunday School President for the ward and was just released in December. On to new adventures! Katie continues to work for Alpine School District as a school counselor. She has been working at the Elementary level and loves the little kiddos. In late January she was offered a part time position as an ACHMC therapist for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Family Services. She has been balancing the 2...

2019 review

You know the good thing about this blog is at least once a year I get on and update, haha! This has been a CrAZY year. We decided in November of last year it was time to move from our home of 9+ years. Three months later we were gone and it was a bit like ripping a bandaid off a wound. Our feelings were (to be honest still are) very raw leaving the comforts, friends, and familiarity of our community to a different one. Having children craziness and our own craziness has made it difficult to adjust and make friends. I just want people to understand that after we settle down (do we ever) I can be a normal person that is friendly. Anyway here is the review in a nutshell: Brent is still at Nelson Labs and doing awesome! He has so far survived the company sell out and enjoys meeting and talking with people all over the world. I tell him all the time if they want to transfer him to Germany I’m in! He works like crazy and is a huge help with transferring kids here and there! Right now we ar...
