Crazy Dair Hay

We had a FUN day after church! Syd showed us how to look like the whoville's and the boys joined in on the fun! They are such good sports, after the tears from getting the hair bands in. Man girls are tougher than boys!

Chase Won Yay!!!!!!!

Chase is now the Student Council President at his school. He is so excited. He beat out 9 other candidates. I will post pictures later.

Saturday

Sierra and I are coming to visit on Saturday morning. Anything going on or who will be home?

We're Online Now!

Just wanted you to know that the Utah Bowler's finally created our own blog (after some not so gentle nudging from our California family). It is called Bee a Utah Bowler Blog and here is the link: http://utahbowler.blogspot.com/. You are welcome to check it out sometime, but we are in the process of playing with it and learning how to get it customized. Brian posted some info about his mission and we will keep all the mission happenings up to date on our blog. I will be sending out some email invites for you to contribute to our blog if you would like. Hugs & Loves from the Utah Bowlers

Hello everyone,

I love reading the post everyday. I wish I had more to say or more pictures to show. I miss everyone, I haven't been out to see everyone in a few weeks. Here's what happen in this part of Orange Co. Sierra is starting to act like a two year old. She yells and screams for no reason. Her favorite word is "NO" with sassy looks. Our house with be ready on Oct. 29th. we are leaving Oct. 27th. Sorry we won't make Karie's party, but we will make her birthday. If anyone every needs a place to stay when you come to visit we will have extra rooms. If anyone has Oct. 22nd free we would love to have visitors to help move furniture into a truck. If you haven't heard yet, Joy would like to have a baby shower before I leave. The only thing planed yet is it's at Aunt Kathy's house on Oct. 13th in the afternoon. If anyone would like to help put this together please let us know. Oct. 11th we are still planning to go to Sea World if anyone wants to join us (us being Tiffany, me and the kids). Lots of love to everyone and I love this blog, I'm so glad we all can stay in touch with our busy lives.

Two boys and a toy!

Miles loves to push Gray around! Best Buds!!

Celeste is a new mom!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Celeste really is a great mom but sometimes she just comes up a little short. She didn't even notice this until Rowdster started tootin. Anyways, any advice for the new mom can be sent to canders14@aol.com and would be much appreciated. thankyou for your time.

Garrett has a cold booty

Garrett kept torturing the little girls with ice so the girls recruited me to help. nothing wrong with a little payback.

Chad needs your prayers!

Thank you for inviting me to your blog! I was wondering if I could ask a favor of all of you. Chad is really in need of your prayers. As most of you know, Chad's wedding was called off the morning of the ceremony. This has been one of the hardest things that he has had to tackle. Caitie is now gone to China to live with her brother, and her parents are dead set on keeping her away from Chad. Things have gone completely south with Caitie and Chad's relationship (mostly due to her parents constant barage of trashing our Chad). There is pretty much no hope of them ever being together. From the things we have learned about her family, we are feeling like Chad has been spared from a pretty miserable marriage. Despite all of this, Chad's heart is having a hard time healing. He feels like he may never again be able to trust his heart. He gave her everything and she is now stepping on him in a very harsh way. In his words, he feels like he is "junk". I have tried to convince him that this was not his fault, and he is still a very precious son of God.
If you would please keep him in your prayers, I would appreciate it. I know that there is great strength in numbers and even greater strength in this Bowler Family Unit! You guys are the greatest! If any of you would like to email him, his address is chadbowler@gmail.com.
Keep blogging! I love keeping up with all of you! I'll try to upload a recent pic of Xander. (I'm new at this blogging thing and I'm not sure I got it right.) He is walking all over the place now and is into EVERYTHING!!! He has such an outgoing personality and loves people! Hugs & Kisses from the Utah Bowlers!

I hate.....

Lots of food

Miles want's all of you to come!

My baby is THREE

For her birthday we took her to Disneyland and had a total blast. It was so cool that so many family could come and spend the day with us - and yes on just a one day notice! All the kids behaved so well and it was just a perfect day. Gracie picked out Disney princess slippers and a princess nightgown for her birthday.

I can't beleive that I have a THREE year old. She is just growing up way too fast! I can remember when they first showed me her in the OR in Hawaii, how happy I was to finally get to hold that precious little thing that was moving inside of me. I was so happy that she was MINE and that no one could tell me my time was up and take her away! I love being a mother.

Gracie stuff:

My THREE year old LOVES:

1. Shoes

2. To dance and sing

3. Chocolate

4. Reading books

5. Cold raw hotdogs & warm french fries.

6. Disney princesses

7. To clip and paint her toe/finger nails.

8. Babies - even her little sister

9. When Daddy comes home!

10. Basically Everything GIRLY!

My THREE year old does not like:

1. Tomatoes

2. Loud laughter - scares her to death

3. Scary sounds (lions roar, screams)

4. Sirens

5. Going to the bathroom alone (been potty trained a year and she still wants an audiance)

6. Sleeping-In

7. Capri pants (she keeps pulling at them until they hit her ankles - it doesn't matter that her bum hangs out)

8. Ferris wheels (learned that one yesturday)

9. Strawberry toothpaste

10. Old people (scares her to death)

Happy Birthday Gracie

I hope you have a fun birthday. I had lots of fun with you yesterday. Especially at tower of terror. Don't worry it's our little secret. Love ya lots. Letti

Responses

Jill, Skype is a computer video camera that allows you to sit at your computer and talk to/see live on the other line. (Think telephone with a video camera)!! It's SUPER easy, if I can figure it out then anybody can!! It's about 75 dollars and you can talk for free all the time. You, aparently, can also video and take pictures with it :) Kellie, Call the house people and insist on the house being done on the 25th! Tell them that you have to be in Texas for work or something. :) Degan, Sorry I keep spelling your name wrong!! :) Love you!!!

Halloween?

What is everyone going to be? Do you have any plans yet?

He Doesn't Feel Well

Cole has not been himself for the past couple of days. Today he fell asleep eating breakfast.

Miles 1st Word

Miles said his 1st "real" word last night. Then he kept saying it over and over, he was cracking us up!

The word was............




"bird"


Or maybe it was............




"Byrd"



I don't know, It's hard to tell! :]

Yes! Finally!!!

O.k this last week has been the best week of my life! Degan is finally taking a bottle, and Kodi Lynn is... Drum roll please... POTTY TRAINED!!! Can you believe it. My little girl is getting so big. I owe it all to the "Rella's"! WooHoo!

Woohooo!!

I realized that I can send videos from our Skype...another reason for all you Californians to get Skype!!! I did this in about two seconds!! Plus, you can talk live for free!! My dad and I do it about once a week and he can watch Grayson walk around and watch Carys dance around in her ballet outfit :) So, even though I sound like a salesman...it's a good idea! Love ya again!!

I'm not sure if this is going to work!! We'll see....

Carys is trying to say hi to everybody in California, especially Deagen and Rowdy!! If this works I'll try to add video of Grayson walking!! Love ya!

Save The Date

next year we will be getting the lodge again so everyone mark that on your calenders. Thanksgiving 2008. I am so excited I can't wait.

Look What Was In Our Yard

A baby gopher snake. It was in the front yard and then it went under our patio.

It really looks a lot bigger than it really is. It is about a foot long and it is as wide as a sharpie.

Rowdy smiled on purpose repeatedly today! It was the wiggly fingers, here they come, tickle cheek tickle cheek, move than finally got him. I hope he is as fun loving as Degan

Baby D with the giggles

Here is a video of Degan laughing at Kodi Lynn. It is so darn cute. The movie is a little dark and of course there is a lot of background noise becaues an Angel game is on and we are at the Byrds house! I have been meaning to do this for a long time and finally got a minute to sit down and do it! Enjoy!

Paigee!!!

We hope you had so much fun at camp!

Zoe even said that it was no fun without Paige here.

We Y you!

Y Dad, Mom, Zoe, Livee, and Miles

Grayson

Grayson is walking!! :) He took 10 steps in a row the other night (night before last) to Zoe!! He's been taking steps all over, but he usually gives up after about 6-7 steps and then "cheats" and starts crawling! We taped it, but I don't know how to show you the video tape...gotta get lessons from Jill :) Hope all is well with everybody! Love ya!

first haircut

This was from a few months ago, but too cute not to share!

Beki

So when is the next baby due? How are you feeling?

Degan

I watched him last night and he was so sweet. Here is a picture of him sleeping.

Some Firsts

First family Angels game- He's been to 3 games already ?!

First Month- We've been trying to take pictures by the moon every little landmark. We will see how long we remember. Rowdy's been sleeping in his big ole' crib for about 7 or 8 hours straight at night! (yeah!) We put him in there after he presented his scooting skills in the little pack and play and getting all tangled up in his blanket.

First Family Hike/ First attempt at taking a family picture by ourselves- We went hiking (sort of, it was more of a walk on dirt) We snuggled him up so he wouldn't get sunburned and he pretty much slept the whole way. ( I got a haircut)

Jump for Joy

Our little one MONTHer is so talented!
