We are a BUSY family of 5.
There is Shawn, myself, Audrey, Colton and Chance.
We also have 4 dogs, a kitty, and a few fish to add to this family. Between the 5 of us....including the pets, there is NEVER a dull moment in the Bowen house! :)

FIGHTING.......

Man, the boys are misbehaving a lot lately. worrying me! they don't listen to me. Shawn says, its cause they are 1. but, they listen to my Dad or Shawn. why not me?!

Yesterday they were both standing at my legs while I was sitting, and Chance of course steals Coltons paci, and Colton was throwing a HUGE FIT screaming, and flat out slapped Chance. Then Chance was screaming, and he flat out slapped Colton. it was terrible!!!!!! I couldn't believe what I was seeing.
THEN, they both get to the dogs water bowl, playing in that. OK,.... I can't begin to tell you, how many times, I move Colton away from that, and have spanked his hand,(mean mommy I am) and I've even put him in a timeout (1 time), and he STILL goes there. GRRRR
Then I'm like, great.....
Are they gonna treat me like the dogs treat me. Im the loving one, who takes care of them, but they only listen to the MAN?

Then to top it all off, colton pulls up on the tv tray table to stand, and it falls back on him, and he hits his head on tile, and table hits him on head. big goose egg.

yesterday was a not a fun evening in the Bowen house!

My vampire

What an exciting day. Went to my parents house for our ritual Tues/Thurs. night dinner with the boys....and they have a push toy that babies can stand behind and walk with/or push. Well Colton walked/pushed the toy to me first. Walked across the living room. Then Chance got brave, and he did it!!! Now, Chance won't STOP! Once we got home, he got our push toy, and was walking all over the living room. It was so darn cute! So proud of my little men!
Also, the reason for Colton's bigtime crankiness is he has his vampire tooth coming in. No front teeth, just the vampire tooth.
LOVELY.....

Pics from Fiesta Texas







































Here are some pics from the company picnic at Fiesta Texas......

Fiesta Texas

What a day! Shawn's company picnic was at Fiesta Texas (Six flags). My parents, my youngest sister, Audrey, the boys, Shawn, and myself, all went.
It was a VERY nice picnic that Rush put on.
Luckily it wasn't too hot either....considering.

My parents would watch the boys, while we could ride some of the roller coasters.
Annoyed with six flags in the fact of, on the baby rides, the following rules apply:
1. must be of walking age
2. must be wearing shoes

ok, the boys are technically walking age, they just aren't walking.
and 2nd, who needs to wear shoes, when your in a stroller all day?!?!? the boys hate shoes by the way. they will be barefeet non-stop, thanks to their momma. I am ALWAYS barefoot.

But the ONE ride we could ALL ride, was the train!?!?! ok, why don't those rules apply to the train. It's high up, you aren't buckled in, the sides are wide open. I don't get it. Whatever.

Picked up Sonic on the way home, and the boys have no problem eating JUNK FOOD. Another bad trait they get from their mother!

Audrey had a short visit with us, as she is gonna be in the Houston Nutcracker. So she has practice every Saturday. Will be taking her to the airport in a bit!

Im pooped!!!
