April 2005

(The next few posts are oldies, but goodies)

If you want to know what the "Bowmans" are all about - here it is! We love rappelling. What we love even more is this event that Jay and Nate came up with. They took pool noodles and glued PVC pipe inside to make "boppers". We rappell down Coon Bluff about 2/3 of the way and tie off with rescue 8's and have a ball beating the daylights out of each other!

Unfortunately, we only have video of Jay beating me. It was harsh! :-)

The best part of this trip was being with family!

Nate & Jay

Kelly, Nathan & Melissa (Katie's friend)

Ashley Maxson and Shelby Clifford

(Instead of rappelling down the mountain

they climbed up to a ledge and hooked up to the ropes there.)

Sara Abbott and Ashley Maxson taking a stab at it!

We went rappelling with the Petersons Labor Day 2006.

We aren't really sure how Rachel got this dirty!

Her eyebrows are full of dirt.

(I know most of you are probably thinking "How did these boys get married?"

I look at this picture and wonder the same thing! hahaha)

Jay and Jayne

(No we didn't spell her name like "Jay" - Jayne is a family name)

Jay and Rachel
Jay and Jayne
Rachie, Aunt Darlene and one of the Merritt twins

These are some of my favorites of the girls.

Cousin Ashley and Rachel

Jay is spending the day in the garage with Shiloh and the Jeep.

He is pulling off the axles today so he can put the axles from the truck on the Jeep.

I love this picture - I am sure he will hate it.

Shiloh LOVES fire so he lights the torch and moves it around so she will follow it.

Shiloh is Jay's "big helper" under the Jeep. hahaha

Just hanging out at home on a Saturday.

Jayne and her board above her bed.

Notice the picture of Thomas, Jayne's "boyfriend" (cousin).

She is so in love with him.

It is cute in a "Safford" kind of way. :-)

Mommy in her Jammies!
Crazy Rachel showing off her Dora slippers and "messy princess bun" hair-do.
Yes, Rachel is constantly eating and covering herself with whatever is in her bowl.
This time it was peanut butter apple dip.
I came out and saw her and just started laughing.
She said "Take a picture!"

Mike LaPorte took these pics of Jay working on his first day at Caliber back in April. Doesn't he look wonderful? :-) He loves playing with the big truck. I don't think he will ever grow up!
