New favorite picture

I don't know what it is about this picture, but I'm really liking it. (Too bad for the shadow at the bottom!) Jack now realizes (or at least we think) that there is a baby in Mommy's belly. Here he is affectionately getting ready to pat his brother/sister. Or maybe he's just preparing them for the real world once they arrive!

Boo at the Zoo and Knoxville trip

If I would post more often, then these posts wouldn't be so long! Anyways, last weekend we were in Knoxville visiting with Grammy and Grandpa. We also got to see Uncle Mark and Gigi (great-grandma). We had a great visit. My Dad and Tommy took Jack for his first fishing trip. I tagged along for photographs and Jack ended up hanging out with me more than fishing. I think 2 might be a bit young for fishing. He did have fun with the worms though!

Trying to help Grandpa bait his hook.

Worms!

Gigi tried to teach Jack to say "Go Vols!"

Once back home, we settled back in for the week. Tommy is home with Jack these days and are having lots of fun. Here was snack one day this week. Want some peanut butter from our house?

Yum! Pretzel rods and peanut butter!

This weekend we were home and decided to head to the zoo for Boo at the Zoo. We dressed Jack up in his Ninja outfit from Aunt Elaine and Uncle Pat from Japan and the headband Grammy and Grandpa brought back from their visit. Jack had a good time!

Ninja!

Pumpkin patch at the zoo

The pumpkin didn't get far away from Jack. He cried when he couldn't sleep with it!

Busy Bees

We have been very busy since the last post. Most importantly, Jack turned 2 on September 23rd. Here are some pictures from his party. We had a great time with the friends and family that came out for it!

4 generations of Bowman men!

Who is enjoying the nerf gun more?

Jack didn't quite figure out the blowing out his candles.

Yum...basketball cupcakes!

Obviously enjoying the cupcakes!

Part of the crowd. We had a nice day!
