HOT

So Natalie has been writing her name for a while now and I must say it is pretty impressive. This morning she came up to me and said, "Look Mom. Hot." I looked, and this is what I beheld:

The E was added after and her name is written above it but in yellow-so it essentially says Natalie's hot...LOL

Pumpkin Patch pictures

I was looking through pictures and I found some more cute ones of our trip to the pumpkin patch.

Look! It's Mom!

You can do it Brady!

Big boys :)

She is going! so! fast! ...oh wait...she is still at the top of the slide...

Preschool

So, over the last few months I have been debating back and forth if I wanted to send Natalie to preschool. At first I said "no" because she doesn't start Kindergarten for 2 more years and I thought there was no reason to start her now and she will be in preschool for 2 years. Well, after a long process I finally caved and signed Natalie up for school at the local rec center. She goes twice a week for 3 hours and so far it has been awesome! She loves it, it is actually a pain to get her to leave because she has so much fun there (methinks Keith is going to have to start picking her up because Mommy can't stand the whining). So, anywho, we shall see how it goes and if she likes it this month then we will continue. Here are some pictures from her first day of school.

Picture Update

So because we now have 2 computers it is really a pain to upload pictures and get them on my blog. I am pretty sure I have mentioned thi before, but it is really annoying! Anywho, here are some pictures from the recent past.

Natalie ready for the first game.

My son, the first kid to choke on the toy choke tester (sorry Kelli!)

The ellusive bunkbeds finally made it! They turned out great and are SO wonderful to have. Plus I think Natalie's bedding is awesome! The best clearance find ever!

The kids playing house.

Teensiest tiny football post

I just wanted to draw everyones attention to the right side of my blog where I am slowly but surely working my way towards the grand prize of the Bowers Bowl. (not that we actually have the money stashed away anymore...we are too poor to have that kind of extra moolah laying around)

I also wanted to see if I am not alone in making this connection:

The Patriots and the Colts both can't go to the Superbowl and we have the same record as the Colts and the only team that has beat us so far was the Patriots...so...we are thinking in the Bowers house that there is a great possibility that we could make it to the Super Bowl if we don't choke in the playoffs...no names mentioned here...

TV Update

So, I was taking a peek at my site meter and I noticed someone had found my blog through a search for Grey's Anatomy and it reminded me that I haven't been talking about my shows! I think the main reason I haven't been is because I watch everything 2-3 days after it airs when I can sneak time during the day to actually watch.

Here are my thoughts on some of my faves. Feel free to comment!

Grey's:
1. Not so sure how I feel about this Ava coming back. I really wanted them to expand on the fact that Alex is obviously still pining for Izzie.
2. I really feel they need to get Derek and Meredith together and move on with new plot lines. They can't just drag that relationship out forever, it will get OLD!
3. I officially DON'T like Lexie.

Heroes:
1. Why am I not as in to it as last year? I just don't know what is missing...at least Peter/Jess is looking good with a new haircut!

Moonlight:
1. Is anyone else watching this?? Erin and I are watching it and we like it a lot. We like how it is a little like the old black and white Dick Tracy type show with the PI and the voice over narration...plus the main guy grows on you!

How I met your mother:
1. Funny, as always, but maybe leaning toward the raunchy side? Are they doing this to get rating to perk? I am not sure if I like it.

Private Practice:
1. Undecided if I like or not. It definitely has potential to be good, but it isn't grabbing me.

Ugly Betty:
1. Why is this feeling blah to me? Sometimes I can't even watch! I get embarrassed or something for her!

There! I think that about sums it up!

So Small

This is my new favorite song.

Thank you Sarah for this super cute picture!

P.S. Notice Natalie is missing half of her costume, she got SO sweaty, see her hair all wet?

She shoots! She scores!

Just a quick B ball update. Natalie had a practice on Monday and I totally forgot to tell that she made a basket! All by herself! This is some great feat for her considering she has NO upper body strength. She is really learning a lot and is starting to understand why she is doing what she is doing (ie. she holds her arms up to rebound, she shoots to make a point, she passes to share the ball). She has her first game on Saturday. It should be pretty good. If I can get some video I will post it here.

100th Post!

Yay! I made it to 100! Thanks for all of you guys that read and comment. I have a lot of fun doing this and I hope to continue doing it! Even though it is a pain in the butt to upload images now!
