Super Bowl 2008

Sunday all the kids came over to hangout at Grandpa and Grandma Holwege's house. It's a fun time when they all get together because they seem to be getting along splendidly. Go NY Giants!

Monkey Pants

Emily, Willie, and Kristi made monkey pajama pants for everybody for Christmas, the boys love them! Thanks Auntie Em and Aunt Kristi!

Gavin, Alexis, Korynn, and Alyson love them too!

(Gavin wears his Curious George pajama shirt with his - they match because they are both monkeys)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TANYA!

I wanted to put on a really old, embarrasing picture. However, I had none. So in leiu of that, all she gets on here is a lame, homemade sign that I took a picture of. Oh well. Happy Birthday Sis-we all love you!

Alexis turns 6!!

Alexis had her 6th birthday last week. Most of us had a nasty cold this week and so we couldn't even taste the cake - so sad!

Dow Family Happenings

Wow, this blog took off fast!! It's fun to see everyone's pictures. Thanks cousin!

We aren't very exciting at our house. Alyson (8) is in 3rd grade. Alexis (6 next week) is in Kindergarten. Gavin (3 1/2), and Korynn (18 months) grace my days with nonstop entertainment. Things always seem to be moving when you have four kids around! I enjoyed having Kristi, Emily, and Brandon home visiting during Christmas (but missed Tiffany). I feel like I am always super busy but I can't think of anything interesting to tell- sorry.

Hello from the Carey's

I am so glad that Amy had the idea to do this. Good thinking cousin! Kevin, Tyler, Jay and I are living in Bancroft Idaho. A tiny little town in southeast Idaho. We are just over an hour from Logan, and about 45 minutes from Pocatello. We spent the Holidays in Northern Idaho with Kevin's family, so we missed out on the Holwege holidays. There's always next year right? Here are just a few pictures from our Holiday happenings.

A Note From Ryan and Jessie

We hope all of you enjoyed your holiday! We sure did. It was fun to be with family and friends. This year was especially exciting, because the boys finally were able to understand the concept of Santa Clause. Now that Christmas is over, they can hardly wait until next year. It is great for us as parents to use "Santa" as bribery. We'll see how long it can last!

Ella waiting for breakfast

Ella is 18 month old. She is Aaron and Angie's youngest. She's a trouble maker just like her big sister Sydney. Her favorite things to do are sing, take care of her dolls and eat candy whenever she can get her hands on some.

Christmas 2007

Honeymoon in Mexico

My everlasting LOVE

I guess I will be the first to add a post about the happenings of the Bonella family. Shane and I have been married for almost a year now and it's been such a wonderful first year. Shane and I live in Logan, Utah. It's about an hour and half north of Salt Lake City. We are lucky to have the oppertunity to work for the same company. It's nice to go to work together and eat lunch everyday together. Shane is finishing his masters in Mental Health Couseling and will be graduating next fall 2008. I have my Master Esthetician License and work for a spa close by part time in the evenings doing facials and keeping the women of Logan beautiful. We hope to move to Portland next year for a bit, but want to end up back in Logan and raise our family here. These are some pictures of us during this last year.

The best days being with the "Cousin's"

I remember this day at the park across the street from Grandma and Grandpa house over in North Portland. I always looked forward to seeing my cousins, hanging out and having a good old time. On this day we played games. British Bull Dog, tag and relays. I think back and it's crazy how the time has gone by so fast, but I will always remember the days of being care free, playing and being a kid. Thanks for the memories.
