My favorite picture of them ALL!!!

This is by far my favorite picture that we took this weekend :) I got the idea to do this "posed" picture after looking through some old pictures of when Ethan was just a baby and Stephen would toss him up into the air over and over again. It is so silly but so appropriate for the family and I think it's a perfect representation of us.

The triumphant battle!

I think it says somewhere in the Bible not to exasperate your nephew...or maybe that was children or wives or something like that, I'll be sure to look that one up! Regardless, I sure did have a lot of fun messing with Ethan and taking control of the couch! I used the finest weapons around a.k.a fingers and tickled my way to victory until the brave-hearted Ethan came back time and time again to reclaim his land and sacred napping place. He repeatedly fell to his defeat and yet bounced right back up and starred at me with all of his cuteness until he made his attack! There was even a time when he called in for back-up from grandpa but still no luck! When it came down to it...he was NO MATCH for my quick tickling fingers, not to mention I out weigh him by at least one hundred and blah blah pounds. You are a brave one little Ethan and I challenge you to another dual the next time you"re in town!!

More Bowman Family pics...

These are a couple of Jon and I and our "immediate" family (gotta love our puppies!) and of course as you can see in the picture of Ethan and Jack....Ethan felt the need to point out that Jack (our modest beagle) was in fact going potty in the yard. hahahaha It was too funny and a perfect picture moment to say the least. Jack has since decided to "relieve" himself in the backyard where there aren't as many spectators watching.

Labor Day weekend Bowman family pics!

Labor Day weekend was an awesome time spent with family at the Bowman B&B. Stephen, Erin and Ethan came into town and Mike is now home for good from overseas-YAY! The whole family was able to be together to celebrate Labor Day and also Judy's birthday and since the Bowman's have an awesome house-we all stayed there which made the weekend that much more memorable. There is a lot of variety in these pics-some formal, some casual but all equally great and I am so thankful for the opportunity to get together with family.
