More April Fun

One of the ladies in my Sunday School class, Erin, just had a baby boy. Our class got together at our friend's, Choi, restaurant. Choi's Korean Kitchen! YUM!! We had a great time of fellowship and great food, too.















Our bush out by the driveway is in full bloom with lots of bees and butterflies all over it.

Spring has Sprung

This is the tree right outside our bedroom window. I love it in the spring time! We aren't sure what kind of tree it is though. It blooms these beautiful light pink flowers then when they fade, the leaves are a brilliant green. It bears no fruit. The day I took these, the sky was my favorite shade of blue!







Fun Times in Fredericksburg

We had a busy March in the Bowman household. One night the College and Career class held a going away party for one of their guys who is getting married soon and moving to Georgia before the wedding. Here are a few pics of the "after the party" time.The Weavers, my kids, and Johnny decided to play Quelf with Rommel before sending him off. Looks like Johnny had to balance something on his head for a certain amount of time.
TJ had to touch his shoulders while having his thumbs in his mouth. I think he had to do this until he rolled a certain number.


My Ape...before I added the hair and claws, someone shouted GUMBY! LOL

Our Sunday School class got together at the Blakemores' home for our game night. It was a lot of fun, and we laughed and laughed...and stayed late!!

Chatting in Karen's beautiful home

The Amazing Supper Race winners for 2010! Yay, my team finally won. I was just the driver, they had to figure out all the clues and tell me where to go.

The winners with their trophies. Pastor Mike gave me one, too.


The beginning of the Amazing Supper Race...they had to find
their clues before we could head out.

Disney, Sea World, Hodge Podge

I'm trying to get more of our "old" pics onto the computer. Here are a few I uploaded today.









TJ and Sam at a Gunston Elementary function





All of us in D.C.


The last trip we took to Disney. I was so sick and taking DayQuil because I was determined to enjoy myself! :) It was in the 90's, so was very very hot.



Theron and me camping with my brother and SanDee when they came to visit us in NM.




Another time going over Splash Mountain! I love that ride! Jo and Michelle came with us that day.


One of our neighborhood Halloween parties in the Marguys' garage! We had such a great neighborhood back then!

Flashback to New Mexico

These are pictures Theron took for me this week while he is in New Mexico and Texas. They won't mean anything to anyone but us, but I wanted to put them on here for those of you who visited us when we lived there. It was quite a change from the beaches of Sarasota for a young 21 year old newlywed. We lived in a 2 bedroom trailer on the top of this mountain. The Lincoln National Forest was our backyard. We cut down our first Christmas tree from our landlord's 70+ acres. We used to go driving up the mountain in the truck with a big light to find deer. haha It really was a beautiful place. Thanks, Theron, for taking me down memory lane! You're the best! Near our turn off
Up the road toward our house


The entrance to our driveway

Down the road from our old house


So pretty!


Going down the mountain toward White Sands


The turn off of the highway to our road...it used to be a dirt road, but now, 24 years later, it's paved.


The litte country store near the house


Home Sweet Home High Rolls, NM Elevation 6750!


The tunnel on the way to our house

Part of the Sacremento mountains, in the middle is the tunnel in a previous picture


Heading up the mountain



The White Sands Mall where I was an Asst Manager



A church we attended when the twins were babies

We came when it was just starting up. So glad to see it's still there.


Looking across the Tularosa Basin from White Sands Missle Range HQ


White Sands... we used to go there for picnics, watch movies projected on the sands, and Theron saved a young boy's live there once! He was lost in the park, and Theron was the helicopter that found him. I'll post the Army Times article soon.

Looking across the Tularosa Basin toward Alamogordo, from from White Sands Missle Range HQ.

So pretty! This is the mountain range near Las Cruces at the end of the Sands.
