More fun and games at the Bowman's house.

Racer is posing in the spidey swim mask he found.
And here is Ryder.
Barry after work, wearing his tie too short. He needs to buy some ties at the Big and Tall store so they actually can look right. He showed me that he was trying to make it longer but there wasn't enough to go through the back loop. He still looks handsome to me!!
I took the kids to the park in Astoria before school started this year. We had fun visiting Barry at his work, Safeway, and picked out some lunch. Rhiannon, Ryder, and Racer all enjoying our picnic lunch at the park.
Brenna is all decked out in her summer hat and new green froggy toy. She is getting so big now. I think that the girls each weigh 16 lbs. Rhiannon held them on the scale and we figured out their weight minus Rhiannon's weight. They both had their four month shots just last week. Barry said that they did good. I had to go to the dentist, dad, on that Friday.Chantrell drinking her favorite baba and she has her new set of linking toys. It was such a nice sunny day when we went to the park.This is the park that looks like a castle. Tiffy's kids love to go to this park.Racer is playing on the big green turtle. He has lots of energy for running around. Racer again. He loved going down the fireman's pole.The view from the park looks out across Young's Bay. Soooo pretty.Close up view of the water and green grass and trees.Ryder at the top of the slide.Wheeeee!! Now he is at the bottom of the slide. Do it again. Rhiannon is on the swings. She is such a big helper and takes good care of her younger brothers.More swinging.The two boys on the tire swing. They thought is was fun to spin it round and round and make themselves dizzy.
On the way home in Surf Pines, we saw the elusive herd of elk. They were eating grass in someone's yard. Yes, we are obsessed with elk and deer. I take my camera everywhere we go just hoping that they will appear.One of the younger males in the herd. A female elk.More elk. And a cute baby.They were starting to walk away while I was snapping pictures of them.Bottom's up!! I got that saying from mom's blog.The long awaited photo shoot of the girls now that they are four months old. Here is Chantrell in her new bathrobe after her bath. She was sleepy in the warm sunshine. A beautiful smile from her. I think that she looks like Lisa and Tiffany's baby pictures.A sleepy Brenna on the couch. She reminds me of Kay-Lynn and Erica's baby pictures. Most people say she looks the most like me. Mom thinks that Chantrell looks like me because our skin tone is the same. Well, they both look like me because I'm their mommy.Brenna is just lounging on the couch. I have to be careful with them on the couch now. They both can roll over from their backs to their stomaches and back again to their backs. Sometimes I will put them on the floor on a blanket and walk away to do a chore and when I come back they are both rolled into each other or they are completely off the blanket. They used to stay right where I put them and now who knows where they will be when I come back to check on them. Just wait until they start crawling!!The girls together. They are sitting up pretty good now.Brenna and Chantrell. Happy girls dressed for the day. They like to look at each other and like to eat each others hands in their mouths.Hi Brenna.Hello Chantrell.A drooling Brenna on her tummy. She is wearing a little cow wrist rattle.Chantrell enjoying tummy time. She is wearing the little pink pig wrist rattle. Her hair is growing more each month. I'll post more later. I'm out of time tonight and need to "hit the hay". Nighty Night.
