Our Summer Adventures

Tagg's brother Tyrell got married in August and this is us at the reception. It was a beautiful day for Tyrell and Katherine and we are so happy for them.

We went to Jackson Hole, WY with Tagg's family and stayed in a condo right inside the city. It was a much needed vacation for me, I really needed to get out of the house and go camping or something in order for it to feel like summer.

We went and had dinner at Bar J Wranglers while enjoying some entertainment. Brielle loved the music and was dancing the whole time! I think it wore her out though because right before the show was over she was asleep in daddy's arms.

This is Tagg and Brielle enjoying some of our garden veggies. Brielle really loved the tomatoes and also eating the corn right off the cob. We really enjoyed doing our first garden and can't wait for next year. We planted corn, tomatoes, potatoes, green beans, peas, green peppers, and carrots.

2nd Baby well on his way!

This is me at about 22 weeks and I'm feeling great! We are so excited for our little boy to get here and I feel like this pregnancy has just flown by! He will arrive at the very end of January when it will be nice and cold, very different from when Brielle got here. I definitely started showing sooner this time around but am so grateful that this pregnancy is much like my last. Tagg and I both feel that trying to choose a boy name is much harder than choosing a girl name.

A New Beginning

So I'm trying to change things up a bit with my blog and actually start updating it on a regular basis. I have come to realize that the reason I never update this thing is because I don't love it. Go figure:) I often felt like I needed to be clever or entertaining like the many blogs that I read and because I can be a perfectionist, I put it off.
I'm done doing that now. I decided that this blog is to keep the people we love updated on our lives and it is also a way for me to keep a journal.
I will be back shortly to post a few pictures and give the update on the Bowen Bunch!

Brielle Bowen!!

This little woman is the new addition to the Bowen home. Brielle Bowen was born on July 20, 2010, weighing 8 lbs 10 oz. As you can see mom had the dominant genes with this one:) We love her and couldn't be happier to have her with us!

More to come!
