last trip to little sahara for the year...

We went out one more time before winter~izing (sp?) the camper. I debated on whether or not to go as I didn't want to do anything that I shouldn't, but it actually was pretty relaxing. We did the rent a kid thing again to :) We actually took a family friend Cody who really isn't a kid - he is 16... so I better get that straight. So it was actually twice as nice as neither Rob or Cody let me do anything....Oh except breakfast, oh and lunch and ya dinner too :) But that's okay.... I have this thing about boys and camping and germs. I'm not saying that my wonderful hubby is dirty. I just think that before you get into the chips you should wash your hands.... even if you just did :) (maybe they wish I would have stayed home, ha ha!) I slept, read, and chatted with the other dune wifey's . Here are some pics that our friend Kami took as I didn't get to out so no pictures. We took both of the four wheelers and the Rhino but again the Rhino was the favorite. If you love 4 wheeling and you are thinking about a Rhino.... We LOVE ours! (well maybe your hubby is......) I think that Rob has turned me into a mountain girl.... with a camper and a shower......

no good very bad dreams....

Okay so I have said it a million times and I will say it a billion more.... I am in complete bliss with my current situation. With this bliss comes fear. And it is not helping that I can not get a complete night of sleep with out some sort of off the wall dream. Last night I had a dream that I was in the ER for stomach pains. My Dr was the Dr. off of Celebrity Detox with the grey hair and glasses - I can't think of his name. Any who I finally woke up with a bladder so full that my stomach was hurting. BUT is this normal????? I seriously would like to know. I am tired during the day but even when I don't dream I still find myself waking up 2 or 3 times a night just to stare a the clock.

Very blessed....

We got test results back from the HCG tests that we have been doing this week. My HCG levels are more than doubling which is fantastic news. I think I pushed the Dr. into doing these extra tests but I am a wreck. Is this normal????? The Dr. has also, as a precaution put me on progesterine supplements which could be adding to the hormonal mess inside me. I don't care if I am throwing up the entire time or if I get so big I can't get into my SUV (sarcastic), this blessing is worth it!

Thanks so much to everyone that has called, emailed, and prayed for us. We are so blessed to have such wonderful family and friends in our lives.

Again thanks so much and keep us in your prayers.

Coming June 09......

Baby Gowers.... We are so very excited!!!! After trying for a very long time our dreams have come true. We went to the Dr. yesterday and got some suprising news...... We're expecting!
We are still very much in the "wow" state. It is still early but we are so excited. Keep us in your prayers!

How sad/ true is this?

(Not so) high school year book photos....

Ever wondered what you would have looked like in a high school year book in 1984?

Here is Bree Gowers - voted better hair then Kelly Kapowski!

Moving on to Rob " very smooth" Gowers....

Rockin Steve Cook in 1984!





Elliott was quite the looker in 1956!

Falling into October.....

October means Halloween and fall decorations....

I spent most of Friday and all day Saturday getting my house decorated. I love decorating and Halloween is up there next to Christmas as far as decorating goes for me....

Here are a few pics of what I did....

The front room....

The stair case...

The kitchen window....

I also was quite crafty...

I made some letter for my friend Kirby to put above her new baby boy's crib.

They turned out really cute....

And for Maddin's birthday I made her a memory box that she could hide under her bed and put some special memories in. I already started filling her box... I found her kiki (binky) while Rob and I were moving the treadmill in one of our spare bedrooms. I admit I was quit emotional when we found it. A binky isn't something that is usually found at our house although we long for it to be a common occurrence, I don't know why but it triggered some tears.

Happy Birthday to Maddin....

Happy 5th birthday to you! I can't believe that 5 years ago we were going crazy with excitment awaiting your birth. You have brought so much joy and happiness to our entire family. I am so lucky to be your Auntie (or Bree Bree...). You have brought me so much joy into my life.

I love you the mostest!!!!!!!

Love, Bree
