Growing up

Emma is changing so fast! She is starting to sit up, and she rolls to her tummy the second you set her on the floor. She has to see what is going on all the time. She is such a happy baby and quick to smile and laugh (especially for her brothers.) We love her so much!

Leaves, leaves and more leaves

Every year we are buried in leaves. Our month of November is spend in the yard raking. We are so happy to have finally sent the last bag to the dump! Now we are ready for snow.:)

Welcome Home Hermana Bowen!

Last Tuesday, my sister Kate came home from her mission in Chile. We are so proud of her, but we sure missed having her around and are so happy to have her home.

Waiting for her to come off the plane seemed to take forever. The kids were patient, but very excited.
Here she comes!



Katie's first time meeting Emma


Kate came home bearing gifts. My dad is sporting his new soccer jersey.


The boys all got new Chilean hats. I don't know why I don't have a picture with all the boys, but Mack and Spencer were sure excited to pose. Kate was a fantastic missionary and the people in Chile are going to miss her, but we are sure excited to have her home!

Fall Break

For Fall Break we decided to travel up to Boise and visit Jared, Trina and boys. We had a great time at the zoo, swimming, riding a train, and going on a bike ride along the Boise River. The best part was watching the kids play and spending time with family.

Train Ride to the pumpkin patch
It was amazing to see 10 bikes and 2 trailers fit in the back of Jared's truck! Anywhere we go, we make quite a site. It was a great weekend. Thanks J,T and family for having us.
