Easter 2010

2010 Easter was a great celebration of our Amazing Lord! We had a great time during all the services. Eldin would repeat "Jesus" and "Risen" - oh so cute! Although his favorite part of the day probably was driving the cart with Terry Coon at IRC. We are so blessed.

2nd Birthday

We had a wonderful small birthday celebration this year. We shared the time with family friends, The McLesters, and "Uncle Bob" dropped by and gave Eldin the world. The McLesters hid Eldin's gift under balloons instead of wrapping. Little did we know, but the balloons needed up stealing the party. In trying to do something small we went with a cookie cake this year. Publix gave us a HUGE cookie cake. The cookie was almost an inch thick throughout! It was insanely and insanely good. Eldin opened gifts from family that could not be there in person, but will get their personal hugs soon.

Aunt Holly, Uncle Daniel, and Olive gave me an AWESOME outfit

Cappy & Gram gave me a great puzzle book, sailor hat, & a Rescue Center for my cars

Grandma Rose and Larry sent me a HUGE box with fun stuff

About to have his first Train ride

IRC UMC has an Easter Celebration each year and this year Eldin really enjoyed himself. He did amazing at hunting eggs. He tried the bouncy house for a small bit and then made a bee line for the train. He LOVES trains, automobiles, bikes, planes, etc. We waited patiently in line and then when it was his turn he had a blast. After the activities we went inside to have a hot dog and chips. For the Easter service there was a huge bridge built and Eldin enjoyed playing and peaking through on the bridge.

Papa & Nina Visit

While Papa & Nina were visiting us in Florida we did many things. We went to the park, birthday gift shopping at Toys-R-Us, road a motorcycle with Daddy on the sidewalk, played in the yard, and played, played, and then played some more. We had such a great visit and we were very sad to see them leave. However, we are excited that we will visit them in SC soon.

Christmas in March

Long story short, we had Christmas in March with the Ellis/Bowick Family. We had such a great visit and it was perfect timing for Eldin to enjoy all the gifts. He had an awesome time unwrapping and helping Papa put together his new riding horse that Papa and Nina gave him. We have and continued to be blessed and Nina and Papa's showering of blessings was so much loved and enjoyed.

Strange

As our blog site states we are not boring. In this crazy adventure we woke up one morning to find Eldin's basket with diapers knocked over and empty. This has happened before and we have Eldin put all the diapers back in and we place the basket back up. However, this time we also found an empty box of Q-tips. As Eldin was putting the diapers up with Dad, I looked everywhere for the Q-tips. To my surprise and concern I couldn't find a trace of one! By this point the boys had finished and Tony joined me in the search. Then all of the sudden Tony said: "Hun, you have got to look at this".
That is right folks, he had spent the morning placing half a box of Q-tips into the air purifier, along with a book, a plastic circle cover, a couple of "caps", and 8 twist crayons, as we discovered when his Papa performed "surgery" removing each item at a time. Do not worry, the fan was not harmed in any way during this event. We were impressed and found the whole thing funny and fitting for something that would happen in the Bowick family. Also - the fan is no longer in his room and there remains one crayon in it.

Crazy Hair Day

This day Eldin woke up with such crazy hair that we could not resist in taking pictures. While they truly don't capture the absolute craziness, it was close enough. Eldin is ALWAYS on the move and now he has the hair to prove it.

Tony's Birthday

Tony had a great quiet Birthday on March 13th. Things have been crazy this year so far, so a great gift was just relaxing on his birthday. Here Eldin is helping Dad open his gifts - Simpsons Season 12 DVD and a book on how to play the bass guitar. Later that weekend we went out to dinner with friends and also shared the amazing Jeremiah's Gelato Ice Cream.
