Short but sweet

It has been awhile and my blog needs some major attention. A lot has happened in the past month and maybe when I find some time I will post some pictures. We are insanely busy and I feel like life is just passing by. I hate seeing my boys grow up, I want them to stay just the way they are. I wish there was more hours in the day. I never get anything done and I don't have time to finish what I need to do and spend time with my boys. Why do I do so much? I try to do everything and it is just impossible. One day I will learn and hopefully that day will come soon before I realize my boys grew up without me.
Travis is such a wonderful husband and for some reason ( a good reason) I have been loving him more and more each day. I look at him and wonder why I am so lucky to have him as a husband. He has been working so hard lately (thanks to Bowman Concrete) and I just love him for getting up everyday and working all day for us. He has been riding his bike again and even though it scares me, it brings him such happiness and that I am grateful for. I am glad he has something he can do that takes him away from work for a little while. Travis I love you and love that your my husband.
My photography business is doing fantastic. I love it so much. I have been working on convincing Travis that I need a new camera. I think it is working so hopefully I will have it soon. I am so excited!!
Last but not least my sweet boys are just a joy these days. I love that they are mine. I love that I am their Mother. They are what I live for and why I get up everyday. I can't wait for another one!!!! That is other thing I am trying to convince Travis to do. He just needs to learn that I will always win on this subject!! Ha, ha, ha! I am hoping some time this year so we will see.
Well I am done for now and whenever I find that time which is never I will get some pics up.

Bryson 12 months pics!

Bryson turned one last month so I took some pictures and thought I would share. I went ahead and took some of Brennen too and then the both of them together. They turned out sooooooo cute. I love my sweet boys and just love taking pictures of them!

Happy 6th Anniversary to us!!!

6 years ago yesterday February 11, 2003 Travis and I got married. We have a wonderful life together so far and hope for more wonderful years to come. We met in June of 2002 at a singles adult party. I made it known to him that I was interested and later that night he asked for my phone number. He called me the next week and we went on our first date. We went swimming at his grandparents house with another couple and watched a movie afterwards. This date was very memorable because we had such a great time together. We were very comfortable with each other and it was very easy for the both of us to be ourselves. After this date we were inseparable. Dating Travis was so much fun! He was very romantic, spontaneous, and exciting. I fell hard for him. So much so I scared him off for a bit. But he finally realized he was falling in love with me too and had to spend the rest of his life with me. Travis proposed on my 21st birthday November 21, 2002. He took me to the Compass restaurant at the Hyatt Regency in Phoenix. Which I thought was for my birthday. We had dinner and then after our waiter brought me a gift. I opened it which was filled with shredded paper, I digged around and found a smaller present at the bottom. When I stared opening it Travis got every ones attention in the restaurant and proposed. Very Romantic!!!!

Our first 3 years together we had so much fun just the two of us, we cherise those times so much. We added to our family on June 2, 2006 with our first child Brennen Travis Bowman. He has brought such joy and happiness to our lives. He is a very, very active boy and keeps us on our toes everyday. Bryson Daniel Bowman was bone January 23, 2008 and what a sweet, happy child he is. We are so overwhelmed with how cute he is. We are so blessed and grateful for our two sweet boys, that they are healthy and a part of our family. Travis I love you so much I am happy to be your wife and lucky to have a husband like you. These past 6 years have had there ups and downs but even so have been absolutley wonderful. HAPPY ANNIVERSARY BABE!!

Frustrations!!

I thought I would post some of my feelings, thoughts, frustrations but I suck at writing and can't seem to write it out. I have re-done this post twice now and all I can get out is I AM FRUSTRATED!! I guess I am having one of those days but for me I should say I have been having one of those couple of months. I am soooooo busy, my priorities are way off, I am active in church but inactive with the Lord. I just can't seem to shake this bad attitude I have about everything. With all this my family has suffered. I am not being the best Mom I know I can be and really, really want to be, I am not being the best wife I can be, I am not doing a lot of things I should be doing and I HATE it!!! I feel like there is so much that I don't know where to start so I just let go longer and longer. Well I know this may seem a little out there but I just wanted to sit and get a few things out of my system. This isn't even a fraction of what I have been feeling but at least its a start.

Bryson 1st Birthday!!

Bryson turned one on Friday the 23rd. I can't believe it has been a year. Bryson has brought such joy to our family. He is always so happy and playful. He just loves his Dad which makes me jealous but still way cute. He calls him Da Da. Everytime he comes into the room he points and says Da Da. Bryson is probably the cutest little person I have ever seen. I love his smile, his dimples, his little grunts he does when he is excited, his laugh, his cute little feet, I just love everything about him. We are soooo blessed to have him in our lives and are so grateful he is healthy and happy. Happy 1st Birthday my sweet little Bryson!

I got Bryson balloons and he just loved them. He kept pointing at them and wanting to play with them. Cute little stinker!

Heres my attempt to decortate for the little guy.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME!!

Everyone singing Happy Birthday and Bryson thinking what is going on?

Cutting his first birthday cake.

He wasted no time and went right for it!

YUM, YUM!!

He just couldn't get enough, he was soooo cute eating his cake. He was shaking his head and going mmmmm, mmmmm. SO CUTE!!!

My in-laws have this toy at their house and Bryson loves it so we got it for him and you can tell he is excited about it.
