CRIB!!

We are pretty much the slowest people on the planet when it comes to preparing for Baby Bowden to come. I don't know why it's taking us so long because those of you who know me know I am generally the most impatient person on the planet. But for some reason we have done absolutely nothing to prepare. However, last night we had a milestone!!!! Sunnee came over and convinced us that we needed to get the crib set up because we don't have near as much time as we think. Haha I think she just wanted to see it out of the box! Anyways... here's a few step in the crib-putting-together process.

FINISHED PRODUCT...

Updates...

I know I'm a little behind on the blogs, so here's a small update of the past little while...

WEDDING!!!

My Oldest sister Mackenzi got married this past week. It was so pretty! She married Luke Colohan from Clearfield. We are so excited to have him in our family. They got married on September 5th and we had a big dinner with some close friends and family at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building after they were sealed in the Salt Lake Temple. It was such a pretty day, we woke up to some wind and ugly clouds, but as the day went on it turned out to be beautiful. Here are some pictures of the dinner and temple.

The boxes on each charger had a cupcake in them with Kenzi and Luke's initials. We slaved away for hours making all of the boxes at each place, but it turned out cute in the end so it was worth it:)

This cute picture is from her bachelorette party! These are my cute cousins and sisters. We went to El Matador and got yogurt after. They are so much fun, I love my family!

DAVIS COUNTY GALA

Every year we have a Gala at my work. It's themed differently everytime and there is a live concert every year. I usually end up going with Brock's work because they buy a table. It's a black tie event. I love to get all dressed up and Brock looks so good in his tux haha. Here a picture of us in the lobby. The concert was ok this year, we had the Nylons come and sing. I didn't know who they were. Last year we had Collin Ray come sing, that was awesome! I thought the theme this year "Dream" was so much fun. The room looked so pretty but I didn't get a very good picture. (I look way prego in this dress, I know, but I thought it was a cute pic of us haha)

Our Future Yankee

In case you didn't get it from the title....IT'S A BOY!! We are so excited, Brock has already purchased several yankee outfits:) We are already getting busy preparing for our little baseball player to come. January can't come fast enough!

NEWS...

Ok, this news has been a little overdue and I know there have been people waiting for this post, but since I'm so weird and paranoid I have been putting it off. But we had a doctor's appointment yesterday and it looks like all is well, so I decided it's about time! Our biggest news ever... we are having a BABY!! YAY!! I had an appointment yesterday and we should be able to tell what it is at our next appointment in August, but there is a chance we will have to wait until September. We are so excited!! There are a few of you that are close to us that know how long Brock and I have been wanting to be parents. It's been a long sucky road, but it finally happened!! I just have to say sorry to the friends I went out with a couple weeks ago, I wish I could have told you in person that night haha but our families didn't know yet so I couldn't spill the beans. We will be expecting our miracle in January and we are so EXCITED!!!

Race for the Cure

So, I never thought I'd say this... but I've become a runner. Thanks to Mindi:) Brock and I have just recently started to get into it. We haven't really been the racing type but all of the sudden we've caught the fever. I didn't ever think I would love to run, but we have so much fun together. We just did the Race for the Cure in SLC this Saturday. It was a really neat experience. I've done other races, but I really liked this one because it was so inspiring. There was people all over running for someone they loved. There was young girls running with bald heads and husbands pushing their wives in wheelchairs. It made me so grateful for the family I have the the health we have all been blessed with. I love to see the strength I don't have in other people. The families of the survirors are so supportive. I know people are only given trials that they can handle because I question whether or not I could go through something like that and I would never trade my trials for theirs, but they still seem so positive and have an optimistic outlook on life. It was really inspiring to look around and see 18,000 people all around me running for the same cause. The roads were filled as far as I could see in front and back of me, in fact, the first few minutes we couldn't even run because there was so many people. It was awesome! Here are a couple race day pics (sorry Mindi I ripped off some of yours!)

SLC Marathon Day!

We've been out of town for the last week so I haven't had a chance to post about the Marathon. Well, actually the half marathon. Jess (my BFF ) and I started training for the SLC Marathon a few months ago. We were freakin nervous on race day, but it came and we both survived. I've never finished anything like this, I am so proud I did it! There's nothing better than crossing the finish line, I would definitely do it again. I think we're going to try the Logan half in August or maybe a triathalon. Here are some pictures...

Oh and I almost forgot the best part! We met Blaine and Daine from the Biggest Loser. They look awesome!! They've both lost over 100 lbs. and they came to SLC for the half marathon. They were so cool, me and Kenz had to get a pic since the Biggest Loser is our all time FAVORITE show!

I'm so happy I finished and that they didn't have to pick me up on the side of the road in the medical van! My time was 2:24, which isn't awesome but I'm going to try and do better on the Logan half. Yay!

What the Bangkok?!?

So my little, well younger, brother is about to turn 19. He got his call a few weeks ago and we had everyone in America over to open it. We had placed bets all over the globe, everyone had a 2 guesses, 1 inside the U.S. and 1 outside. I can't even remember where I put mine, but I know my outside the U.S. one was somewhere in South America. I totally thought he we be a little Spanish speaker. They were all over the charts, some in Europe, some in Africa, some in South America, tons in North America

So as it turns out, everyone was wrong... He started opening the envelope and we were all expecting it to be somewhere in South America, but what the BANGKOK?!?

Here some pictures of us all anxiously awaiting the call!!

He's so cute! I get to see him everyday at work and I love it. He's so stinkin funny! The fam went down to St. George this weekend and he had just gotten his wisdom teeth out the day before we left. He was a little ornery because of the drugs, but he was friggin hilarious! The boys golfed and all the girls; me, Kenz, my mom and Cole's cute girlfriend Ashley got some pedicures. After all the fun the boys went to the priesthood session together. I LOVE our boys! I do have to say, though, that the girls are way funnier than the boys...

We had to drop off the garage door opener in the boys car while they were at the priesthood session so they could get in the house to change while we got a table at Texas Roadhouse. So, we go drop it off in the truck and we thought we were going to be hilarious and move the truck so they wouldn't be able to find it when the session ended. Ha ha we thought it was way funny! So the session ends and Ashley gets a call from Cole saying that they can't find the car. Well Ashley is the sweetest girl in the whole world and she was trying really hard to lie and tell them to call us if they needed a ride, but she laughed the whole time! Well then Kenzi gets a call from Luke and he's saying that Brock is freakin mad cuz his truck is gone. So we decided to end the joke and tell them we hid it, thinking we were so funny... and it turns out they found the car like 2 seconds after they walked outside and we weren't funny at all cuz we got played. Haha it was a fun trip! I love you Cole, good luck in Bangkok!!
