Thanksgiving in Oklahoma!

Yadon, Trey holding Brooks and Braden at Nana and Papa's.

One Hot Mama dressed up in one of her new outfits and ready for a night out with Papa!



We spent the week in Oklahoma and had a great time with ALL of the Bowman Clan. The boys enjoyed being with their cousins Yadon and Brooks, and Brody(still in utero). We also celebrated Christmas while we were there so Nana wouldn't miss out on her grand-babies opening their gifts. We had a great time, Kent played in the annual Turkey Bowl football game at the high school, even though Benj and Brad wussed out! Yeah that's right I said it!!!! And I have to say the high light for the boys was cutting firewood in the back 64 acres! The 'sister's' and I got to take Mama B on a shopping spree and set her up with a whole new wardrobe! She looks amazing and loved all of her new clothes. It was great to see her prance around and feel as beautiful as we all know and think she is! And needless to say I don't think we all could have left soon enough for Papa..... We ended our Christmas exchange with a little dancing in the living room to Michael Bubble' and Trey jumped up on the ottoman and lipsinced(sp?) to the music! What a ham! Happy Thanksgiving to ALL!

A Nana-rific Week!












Halloween was so much fun with Nana(Kent's Mom)! The boys were able to go Trunk or Treating with our ward, and then our street had a block party on Halloween and lined up all of our candy in chairs while we ate and talked. All the neighbors let the boys take as much candy as they wanted and their bags were FULL by the end of the night and they didn't even have to go door to door! So- Braden did go as Captain Jack Sparrow and left his mustache and goatee on until it was time to chow down! And Trey went as Thomas the Train... AGAIN! They had a blast and so did Kent and I, and Nana was here for all the fun and really made our Halloween extra special! We had quite a busy week with class parties(we made spider cupcakes), the ward party, Braden had a friends dress-up Birthday party, we celebrated Nana's Birthday(I made a witches hat shaped cake) and Halloween night! WHEW! Hopefully Nana wasn't to worn out when she got home! We can't wait for Turkey day, having Nana around is so much fun! Thanks for a GREAT week Nana! LOL-MJ and the boys!

GO Mama!



SO! Our exciting news for this month is...


Mama got accepted to the Kingwood Nursing program! We are all very excited and proud! Her crazy summer of homework, tests and thesis really paid off! GO MAMA! She also made Phi Theta Kappa which is the Honor Society for her school. The induction ceremony was very nice, they introduced all the new Honors students led in by a guy playing the bag pipes and had the school's Dean as a guest speaker! Pretty Cool! Braden and I went to support her and Big Guy sat throught the whole ceremony and would clap every time he saw mom! What a trooper, it was alomost 2 hours long! Good Job Mar Mar! You are the best and we are SO proud of you! Love Kenter and the boys!
