Bowin Grandparents and Ice Cream!

Aunt Sarah left today (boo-hoo), but Grandma and Grandpa Bowin are out here for the weekend visiting. We started out bright and early this morning, and caught a picture of Dad and Alexander having a little bit of fun together (they ALWAYS have fun together - I just never seem to get it all on camera!) Here they are at Kohl's - one of my FAVORITE stores!! (I have to keep my Mom in business!!!) :)

After our visit to Kohl's, we decided we needed to get some ice cream. Good thing that there was a Cold Stone across the parking lot. I've been getting a lot of grief, from what seems like everyone, that Alexander hasn't had much "big people" food yet - so he tried a little bit of ice cream! He wasn't too sure about it at first, but he did take a few bites. (This is Grandpa Bowin holding Alex while I fed him a little bite) After the ice cream, we were on our way back home. Alex was EXHAUSTED!!! He slept all the way home....such a tired boy!

Baseball Games!

We headed to Sargent tonight for Dad's game against Broken Bow. It was a double header, therefore making it a LATE night for all of us. While we were there, Alex was thoroughly passed around to just about everyone there. Here's a picture of Alex and Jo. Jo is one of Andy's co-workers, and her son plays for Andy. (Plus she is a great friend to chat with during the games!) Alex just loved playing with the pop bottles - he loves the tops of them!

Grandma and Grandpa Bowin came out for the weekend - we'll get pictures of Alex and them on tomorrow's posting.

New Shoes

We went to Broken Bow today because Daddy had a meeting and we needed to pick him up. While we were there, and Dad was in his meeting, Alex and the girls decided to go shopping. We found some shoes for Alex! We sat in the park for a while waiting for Dad to be done, and decided to try on the shoes.

Alex wasn't too sure about Aunt Sarah putting them on.... But once they were on, they looked absolutely adorable!!

However, Alexander had a different idea for the shoes....


He didn't like the feel of the grass on his feet, so once he had this shoe off, he decided it was better if he held his leg up off of the ground. (Note the picture below) Too funny! What a guy! :)

Third haircut and Aunt Sarah

Aunt Sarah is here for a visit! Alexander is enjoying having someone new to play with, and I am enjoying having someone to have a real conversation with! We are all busy with Andy's baseball "stuff" - tonight it was off to Stromsburg for a tournament seeding meeting.

Aunt Sarah took a nap with Alexander, as we knew that it would be a late night.

Because Sarah is a master at just about everything, I enlisted her help for Alex's THIRD haircut (yes, third!) He has a full head of hair, and it just keeps growing! Look at how handsome he is! Where has my little boy gone???
Well, I hope that you will enjoy our blog - I am new at this, but I think that it will be a great way to keep friends and family up to date on what's going on in central Nebraska! Please comment, we love to hear from you! (Thanks, Claudia, for recommending this!!)
