Well Im sorry that we haven't blogged since Christmas!! BTW this is Kara! We have been ridiculously busy! haha So the boys are in "wrastlin" as we call it! and they have been doing pretty good!! this last weekend, Jake, Drew, and Nate all had tough matches! Jake ended up taking 4th place and Drew took either 6th or 7th, and Nate took 5th I believe! Jake i would say had the toughest match out of the three. It was against this kid who wore a spiderman singlet last wrestling season so since then, to our family, he has been known as "Spidey"!! haha even though he doesn't even wear that singlet anymore!! Lol He and Jake had a GREAT match. they were tied in the last round so they went to sudden death!! whoever scored first won the match. Jake got the take down and won the match!! We all were screaming so loud and made fools of ourselves!! haha but we dont care cuz jake won! and its just too bad that we didnt get any pictures of jake wrestling cuz he wrestles like a PRO!!!!! No lie!! haha he got me in the cradle about ten times this morning!! haha that just means im a wimp!! lol So then after wrestling we went to Chili's! it was good and apparently Drew loved it!! here are some pics of Drew chowin down on some ribs and of the boys wrestling!!

Christmas Eve!!!

On Christmas eve we went to Grandma Jill & Poopy's house. It was fun seeing everyone together!! We started a new thing where everyone picks a name and that is the person that they have to give a present to. This year was very peaceful not having to carry so many presents and the little kids didn't keep going over to Grandma saying "Where's my other present?'' But we all had a fun time:) First we had a wonderful dinner, then we just kinda sat around and talked, then Grandma read us a story about the true meaning of Christmas, and then we gave and opened presents,  then whoever wanted root beer floats got one, and then we went home!! it was a FUN night!!! we all slept together in  Brynn's room!! BTW I don't have the pictures from grandmas house so thats why I'm just explaining everything. ha ha and this is kara:) so then we woke up and had a GREAT time the next morining!!

Brynn loves our piano!!!! ha ha

Christmas Day with the Bowdens!!

Well this Christmas has been kinda different. But good different. It just didn't seem like Christmas til it actually was Christmas. But it just wasn't the same. Like we didn't decorate the tree together as a family, we didn't go caroling like we always do, and people didn't even get Christmas cuz people were losing their jobs. But the Christmas spirit finally started to kick in on Christmas eve!!! ha ha we had a fun time with the family!! here are some pics:)

Dad got an iPhone and Brynn and I got some clothes.  As my mom, aunt Jenna and Poopy call it, "My dad joined the CLub!!" The iPhone club! ha ha they say that my mom is the President, Poopy is the V.P., and Jenna is the Secretary!! ha ha! Oh and don't forget about mom!! She got LOADS of clothes!!!!! And a bunch of running stuff.

Are you guys married?

So Brynn, and Danielle, and I, were baby sitting the Brinkerhoffs and the Iversons yesterday. It was a lot of fun and we had some good times:) So it comes time for dinner and Brynn, Rylee Iverson, Kenzie Brinkerhoff, and I were in the kitchen. I was cooking mac & cheese and brynn was doing the dishes or something like that. And Kenzie and Rylee were eating their dinner. So then Kenzie says, "Brynnie how old are you?" and Brynn says 13. Then she says "Kara how old are you? and I say 12. And she opened her mouth like I was so old!! Then she goes  "Are you guys married? ha ha Brynn and I started l laughing so hard!! Kenzie, she is toot bum!!! lol
