A Tennessee Thanksgiving...

We just got back from a great Thanksgiving in Tennessee. We have so much to be thankful for this year. Two healthy, happy boys and being able to spend Thanksgiving together this year.

Garrett and Ty are growing up so fast. Ty will be 3 months old on the 30th! Garrett just had his 3 year checkup and he is 36 pounds and 38 inches tall. He is in the 83% percentile for weight and 53% percentile for height. Its amazing the conversations that we have these days! He had a great time in Tennessee and enjoyed playing with his cousins Jackson and Preston. I'm sure he will always look forward to making the trip just to see them!

This picture is of David's dad and his brothers and sisters. The "original" Coffey's.

And here Lily and Garrett and doing the favorite Bowden pastime, drinking Mt. Dew. Not really drinking it, but trying their best to get into it!

I just thought this was a cute picture :)

Let November Begin...

It is hard to believe that November is here and almost half way gone. Ty is 11 weeks old today! He is getting so big and Garrett has so discovered the 3 year old attitude.

Anyway, more on that later. October ended with sickness in our household. Garrett woke up on Halloween with what we thought was the croup, but I guess was just a really bad cough and fever. So he basically dressed up for a picture and went to two houses to get candy because he cried and asked too, what can you say to the cutest pirate ever :)

Like I said, Ty is 11 weeks old today. It is so hard to believe! He had his 2 month ped. appointment last Monday and weighed 12. 14 and was 23 3/4 inches long. He has almost doubled in weight and has grown over 5 inches since he was born. He is smiling constantly and cooing at us and has laughed once in his sleep. He has outgrown most of his 0-3 month clothes and fits well in the 3-6 month stuff. He is in size 2 diapers already! He is a good baby and definitely loves his Mama and being held. He is still a little mini-Garrett in looks and in sleep. He is a cat napper like Garrett :( He made his second trip to Tennessee last weekend. He is getting a good start on his states, so far he has been to Georgia (of course), Tennessee and Alabama. He still has a way to go to catch up to Garrett's 23.

Here is one more picture from the month!

Oh Christmas Card, Oh Christmas Card

I have used http://shutterfly.com/ for years and orders lots of prints and just recently ordered baby thank you cards and baby announcements. I usually use them because they have lots of promotions and I love a good deal! I had already looked at their Christmas cards for this year. I saw several designs that caught my eye. Now if we could only get our picture made and everybody look pretty. I do have the outfits already to go though :)

This was one of them. You can check out the other designs at http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery or http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/christmas-cards. If we were cool enough to have a New Year's Party we might use these http://www.shutterfly.com/cards-stationery/new-years-cards.

I have ordered our Christmas cards from Shutterfly for the past several years and have always been very pleased. They arrive on time and look great. I recently ordered pictures from them and they were lost in the mail, but no problem, I got another set of the prints shipped to me at no addition cost.

And yes, I can't figure out how to make my links into pictures, so if you want to see my possibilities you will have to click on the link :)

Brothers?

I decided to post a picture of Garrett and Ty to show their similarities. This is the only picture of have of both of them in the same shirt. I think they look more alike in person than in these pictures, but you can definitely tell they are brothers.

Garrett--6 weeks

Ty--8 weeks

Future Farmer

Today was Garrett's Fall Festival at school and he decided to dress up like a farmer and I just wanted to share the pictures!

Oh Boy!

Let me start out by saying that my life with two boys is never, ever dull! Ty is such a cute chunky baby! He is almost up to 11 pounds! He has started smiling a lot and I thought this was such a cute picture of him. I had to put in the swing because of the next picture!

I was on the computer this morning and apparently left Halloween paint in the hands of my 3 year old. He came into the office and said look at my Mom, I'm a pirate.

He did a pretty good job of painting his face like the picture on the pirate makeup. This is what the makeup looks like now. I did get a kick out of it. Luckily he didn't try to paint Ty!

Pumpkin Patch and Playoffs

We are so happy that October is here and Atlanta is finally feeling like fall! We have been busy this month and will continue to be! We have been to a pumpkin patch and cheered on the Braves for NLCS playoff game #3 in Atlanta. That is a great thing about living here. It takes us about 30 minutes to get to Turner Field and park and we can hop right back on the interstate and be home so soon! We had a great time at the game. My dad is a big Giants fan and he definitely enjoyed the Giants victory. Ty enjoyed his first Braves game (for the most part). Luckily our seats were in the shade and we had a nice breeze blowing for most of the game. Garrett always loves going, but fell asleep in the nineth inning :)



It was a beautiful day in Atlanta!

The weekend before, we headed up to Dawsonville and enjoyed a great pumpkin patch and mini corn maze. It is nice to get out of Atlanta and head north up the mountains without all the traffic! Garrett had fun feeding goats and picking out some pumpkins. It would really be great if the fall weather would return instead of being 85 degrees again!
