A Special Father's Day

I met Brittany when I transferred to Auburn. We both transferred in the same year, were the same age, and hit it off great. We became instant friends. I couldn't have asked for a better friend while I was at Auburn and in the few years since. She was a maid of honor in my wedding and has just been such a wonderful friend to me.

Brittany and her husband Ty recently moved to Huntsville, which was sooo exciting to me! B and I hadn't lived in the same town since I graduated. (Or since she got married, since coincidentally that was on the same day! Whew...that was a busy weekend!)

Well, yesterday, Father's Day 2010, Brittany and Ty welcomed their first baby into this world!! Meet Samuel Joseph!

Baby Sam weighed in at 8 lbs. 6 oz. and was 20" long. He is a beautiful baby!! And I am so happy for Brittany and Ty! They are going to be wonderful parents!

A Day at the Rodeo....

...but this isn't your typical rodeo!! I drove up to Murfreesboro Saturday to watch Adam compete in the Tennessee Valley Lineman Rodeo. This was his second year to compete. Last year he placed third overall, placing in a couple different individual events as well. This year, not only did he place first in one event, he won 2nd overall!! He did a great job! It is amazing what some of these guys can do and how FAST they can do it. We unfortunately did witness one guy fall off of a pole from almost the top. Amazizngly, he was able to walk away. However, it just goes to show you how dangerous this stuff is! Here are a few pictures from the day.

And here's a video of one of the events...hopefully it works!

Playing Catch-Up

Wow! I am so far behind on posts!! I guess we have been pretty busy the past couple of months, but it's all been good! I will try to give you a brief overview of our lives the past couple of months....

May 8th:

It's my 26th birthday! We went to Henderson for the weekend to celebrate with my side of the family. I was able to spend Saturday visiting my family while Seth went fishing with Adam. I know he just hated to have to do that! :)

We spent the evening being entertained by Luke, who is such as ham!! Funny boy! We had a wonderful weekend and look forward to visiting again sometime this summer!

May 24th:

Caleb graduated from high school! Even to me who has only been around the Bowen family for five or six years, this is crazy! Seth and I are very proud of him. He is a wonderful young man!

The ceremony went well...just your normal graduation. You can see that it was very emotional for Myles...or maybe that was his reaction to the very bad singing.

Can you tell they are brothers? Always looking very mischievous when they are together!

We enjoyed dinner together at Logan's after the graduation. Yum! I love Eli's face in this picture...I think there is a pretty good possibility he was up to something when Seth took this picture.

June 11th:

One night the week before, Seth was looking something up online and noticed that the Zac Brown Band was going to be in Birmingham. We didn't want to pay $50 a ticket, so where else did we go for tickets but eBay?! (We are some eBay lovin' folks!) I lucked out and won some pretty decent priced tickets, so off we went to B-ham! We ate at Jim n Nick's...Yum again! And even got some FREE lemon pie since it was Seth's birthday. We got to the amphitheater just in time to hear Joey and Rory start to sing. Aren't they cute? :)

The concert was wonderful...with the exception of the heat! It was soo stuffy and humid until about 9 oclock. At least it cooled down after that!

We had a great time and would definitely recommend this concert! They are a very talented and entertaining group of guys!

June 13th:

It's Seth's 30th birthday!! Woo-hoo!! I threw him a big family baseball-themed (what else?) birthday party at our house. Although he has his sister to thank for his sign in the front yard! :)

My parents and Brandi and Luke even came down for the shindig!!

Good times!!

June 18th:

Today I sit here in my cubicle at work, bored to tears...therefore, I am taking the opportunity to update this! So, I guess I'm being semi-productive...although it's not work related. Oh well...it's FRIDAY! And tonight we're going to see Toy Story 3!!! Woo-hoo!!!
