Hey everybody.....Hope you had a great weekend. I did.... We got Ethan and Bailey here this week and enjoying them. Well love everybody......Bear

Hey family

Had to get on and say how wonderful it was to have April, Zac, Caden and Toby here again. They are so sweet and so easy to have for company. They just take care of themselves and I get to love on the boys. Caden is growing up so fast. He talks so big and is so smart. I opened the door where my trashcan is and gave it a push to close. He was standing there and he said, you didn't shut that very good. I told him he was right and he needed to keep an eye on me. I laugh at everything he says. Toby is just right to hold and love on. He is such a good baby. I never know he is here. Never heard him cry or anything. Their new family pics are great and I was so glad to get some of them. Maybe Blair can put some on the web for all to see. I think we were the only ones in town this weekend except the Henry's but we held the town down til all get back home. Nana and Papa, thanks for sharing the kids with us for the weekend. They are priceless. Maggie E-mailed me from motel room in Dallas yesterday while Kraig and Boston were at the Ranger game. I'm glad graduation went well for everyone, here and there for Devin.
I am so lucky to have so many wonderful grandchildren who love and care about me. Another day off work and then back at it again. Love you all. Maw

Hello to everyone. Hope this finds everyone well. Hope all are having a great Memorial Day Weekend.

Susan, it was good to hear from you. Wish we could see you guys soon. Sorry we missed you guys in Crosbyton, but I know you have a very demanding schedule right now. Hope all is going well or much better for your parents. Always love to hear grandma stories and see pictures. Everytime I see a new picture of Brock, I tell Mike that he looks more like Gary than James every did. He is so precious. The pictures of Stormy on the Stormy page are so good and sweet. Hope everything with her day caring is much better. It is so hard to find good quality and one where everyone and everything meshes.

Kittie, hope all is good with you guys. You really had me going with your story about the animal with the hurt paw and when the guy visited the zoo years later. YOU GOT ME!!!. It is always good to hear from yall. Guess Boston is glad school is out and can sleep in and play all day.

Kathryn hope all is well with you guys also. I know I will hear from April when she and her guys get back from Melyssa graduation in Crosbyton this weekend. Thanks so very much for letting them stay with you during their visit there. You always make us all feel so comfortable and at HOME!!

Well, must go and try to find something to do until my babies get back home. It is amazing how I can miss those two little ones so much when they arent in their place.

We will be helping John and Lauren celebrate their wedding next weekend here in Richardson. That will be fun and exciting.

LOVE TO ALL YOU GUYS. Eletia

Hey Susan....Good to hear from you too. I diddo what she said and I hope everyone has a great Memorial Day Weekend. Jay's kids are coming in on Monday. We are going to high school graduation of Tressie's youngest, Devin this weekend. Thanks so much for inviting us. We will all get together soon. Love you all bunches. Be safe and have fun. Bear

Hi everyone! Hope you all have a great Memorial Day weekend. Gary, Peggy, and I are going to James house on Saturday and will be coming home Sunday. The Henry's are staying home. They haven't had any time at home in several weeks and it is taking a toll on Stormy. We will miss them, but we all have been there. Blair wish ya'll could come, maybe we will see all of you soon. Love to all, Susan

Well hope everyone is having a good weekend. Can't believe that Summer time is just about here. Time flies when you're having fun, heh???? Bear

Hey Everybody.......Well another week is back in order. I'm excited that Mom and Kittie have got their computers back up and running, we love to always here from you on the blog. One of the big bloggers of the bunch.

Susan and your bunch always good to hear from ya'll. I can't wait to see Stormy, Boston and Brock again soon. They are all growing up too fast.

Hope maybe we can all get together in the near future. Love, Bear

Hello to everyone. I finally have my blogger back up and running. I am doing good since my surgery, it has just taken several weeks for my soreness to go away. I had to catch up on all the reading. Glad everyone is doing good. HAPPY MOTHERS DAY TOMORROW TO MAW, SUSAN, KITTIE, MAGGIE, JILL, SHAVONNE AND ALL THE MOTHERS OUT THERE. We are all doing good. Hope everyone gets to make it to FT Worth this summer and come see us. Love to all Eletia

Happy Mother's Day to everybody......Love, Bear

Happy Mother's Day everyone. Hope ya'll had a great week. It is good to see the sun shining today, we have had so much rain. Stormy comes home Saturday and we will be really glad to see her. Brock is growing more and more everyday. He is doing everything early,like his Dada did. We are all going to the circus on Sunday for our Mother's Day treat. It should really be fun. Love to all, Susan

Ok, seriously I LOVE the new pictures of Toby Britches and the picture of Caden in his Batman suit!!! Wow!
I can't wait for this summer when we can come visit and meet Toby and give Caden a big hug! I'm so glad that he's enjoying being a big brother! They are lucky to have each other! There's not a whole lot going on in our neck of the woods, just trying to stay dry for the most part. Brock is growing like crazy, eating like a pro, and learning new tricks everyday. James and I can only thank God so much for our precious blessing!
Hope everyone is doing well, would love to hear from you all on Brock's webpage! Blair, I loved your comment about the Gowens + Water =Fun. . .that was too funny! But very true in Brock's case, he came by it naturally with James and I being his parents though!!! POOR THING!!! ha ha
Well, I guess that's about it. Brock is down for a nap right now so I really need to utilize the time getting stuff done around the house but I wanted to say "Hi and We Love You" to everyone!!!
Much love sent your way!!!
James, Shavonne, and The Brockster

Hey Everybody......Hope you're having a good week. Bear

Happy Brandon.....Hope you had a good one.......
Hey Kittie, maybe you can get some pictures of Boston in baseball for his page.....Thanks....
Hope everyone is having a good weekend.
Hey Susan, good hearing from you on the blog......Glad Gary Lee had fun golfing in San Antonio...
Hey Aunt Peg, hope you are feeling better.
Hey Maw, it was good talking with you on the phone last weekend.
Love,
Bear

Hey,

Brandon, I hope you had a nice birthday....sorry, I did not know ya'll were getting together last night....Since I have so much trouble getting online with my piece of crap computer I don't get to check the blog very often...sorry I missed everyone....
Hope everyone else is doing good....Boston has started baseball so we will be tied up with that for a couple of months...
love,
kittie

Hey all!!! I know it's been a while since we graced you with our presence so I decided we better get on really fast. I'm not sure if many of you get on Brock's webpage, but if you have you know how CRAZY it's been around our house the past few weeks! Brock is really growing and he's made SO MANY new accomplishments! It seems like everyday he does something new that James and I feel the need to share. . .we're not at all proud parents!!! ha ha

Like Susan said, we're gonna be in Crosbyton this weekend! We'll be at there house until Saturday after lunch and would love to see everyone. We just don't know how much running around Brock will want to do, SO that just gives EVERYONE a reason to join us over there on Friday night for Brandon's birthday shin-dig!!!. . .We hope to see you all there, I'm sure Brock would love getting some "extra" lovin' from all his family!!!

Hope everyone is doing well, we are! The weather has been crazy wet the past few days and it's looked like all the storm systems that hit us moved to the DFW area. I guess they just went fr Gowens' house to Gowens' house!!!. . .I guess that's not really that funny, but with my sick sense of humor I think it kind of is. Anywho, I guess that's all for now (since I wrote a novel)!!! Everyone enjoy their weekend, our will be crazy and go by way to fast.
much love sent you way,
James, Shavonne, and Brock

Sorry we missed all the Gowens clan, April and her sweet boys. The weekend is always tied up for me with Brice and Connie. We will be celebrating Brandon's Birthday Friday at my house. He will be 32. We will have hamburgers and all the trimmings so anybody and everybody is welcome to join us. The Henry's are coming from Houston and James, Shavonne, and Brock will come in Friday afternoon and leave after noon on Saturday. Gary had a good time in San Antonio, of course anytime he plays golf he is happy!! Must get back to work. Love to all, Susan
