Aunt Peg, did you get the workout connection of me for your knee? Love, Blair

Hey Aunt Susan,
Really good to hear from you...Big hugs...You feel that? Okay, good..Hehehe....I can't wait to see the next Gowens boy...I love it....

I am so pumped that ya'll are coming to Fort Worth in September...Okay, this calls for some fun. Let's plan it!
Love,
Blair

Blair, we are always so proud to have a place to keep up with all the family news. Sorry, I don't always have time to blog. We are all doing well. Jill and Brandon are waiting for the Robertsons to get everything done so they can close on their house. Gary and I probably can't let them move and take Stormy. We have really enjoyed the time with her. She is a delight and such a good girl. Gary and I are going to San Angelo the 28th to get lots of hugs and kisses from Brock. It has been to long a spread since we got tho visit the Gowens bunch. When Gary came to bed last night he said he need to see those boys and also how much that girl had grown. (he is excited to see the progress of Shavonne's belly.) We are also getting very excited about the birth of our new grand boy. We also will be going to the San Angelo rodeo. It will be the finals, so should be lots of fun. We try to go every year if possible. It will so much fun to watch Brock. Continue to pray for Brice and Connie, he has good days and not so good days. We hope in September to make a trip to Fort Worth to see all the babies and family. We will vacation for two weeks in September. Blair, wish we could cruise with ya'll, but we never can go in July. I guess I have rambled enough, Sending our love to all the families.
Susan

Hey,
Sorry I have not had a chance to blog in a while....Between work, Michael, Lynnie, etc. my days pass before I even realize it. I hit the floor about 6 am and usually don't get to bed until midnight or after....I do try to check everyone's websites a couple of times a week and I have to say I really, really do enjoy them!! Like Shavonne said, the babies are all growing so fast, with one more on the way (Brice).....
Anyway, I hope everyone is well....Blair what is this Biggest Loser thing your trying out for?? Are you going to be a trainer?? GOOD LUCK WITH THAT, THAT IS EXCITING!!
love to all,
kittie

Hey Shavonne...I knew I could count on you...Good to hear from ya'll...Hey, Jay is rechecking on why you can't send pics...Hang tight with the answer...Love ya'll Blair

Hey Blair, it's Shavonne proving you wrong(leave it to me)!!!
I know it's been a long time since James or myself have blogged, sorry! Things have been absolutely INSANE and I know that in a few months I'll be saying to myself "Crazy, you just thought you knew what INSANE was!"
Hope this finds everyone well! James and I both have tried to drag the pics to the little boxes for the Cho Po Lo portion but it always comes up with a message saying we can't. . .who knows. I do have newer pictures up on Brock's site though, and we've still got pictures of Brice's 3D sonogram.
Can't wait to meet Mr. Carson!!! Who knows when that'll work out, I just can't believe how fast all of these kiddos are growing up! Everytime we see new pictures of Caden, Toby, Kate, and now Carson we just can't believe it, then we get on Miss Maddie and Michael's totsite and are blown away all over again. . .babies growing up EVERYWHERE!
Sending love and prayers to you all!
James, Shavonne, and Brock

Hey, where is everyone at? I'm beginning to think no one wants to blog anymore? Come on, prove me wrong. Love ,Blair

Hope everyone had a great weekend....Back to work tomorrow. I can't believe we are already halfway through February. Not much going on here...I've got two more weeks of my exercise training classes before we do our annual health screening during the entire month of March...I use to always love the month of March...Hehehe....

Well, hope everyone has a great week. Love, Blair

Hey where's everybody at....Hope all is well. Happy Valentine's Day to everyone on Saturday. Love, Blair

Happy Birthday to Kate today!!! She is 1 years old...Love, Uncle Blair and Jay

Hope that Stormy had lots of fun at her birthday party.

Maw, you are doing great on the computer..You can hang with the best of them....
Love,
Blair

Hey Family
Just a quick note to say Hoping Kate's birthday party goes great today. Sorry I could not be there. As usual, I have too much month left and not enough money, ha. Anyway I'm hoping that Uncle Blair will post some pics of the party.

Stormy has a party this afternoon at 4:00 so maybe Gary can post some pics from it as well, joint parties via internet. How cool is that?? Hope Maw can continue to "keep" up with all of you on my computer. Don't feel as sharp as I use to, but keep trying.
Love, Maw

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR STORMY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I hear your party is Sat but you are now a big "5" year old today. We love you Stormy and wishing you a wonderful birthday week.
Love, Maw and Ryan

Hey Everybody!
WOW....the days just fly by in a blur....so many changes with no end in site!!! I guess that would be called "Life"!!!
I have not had a chance to write in a while but wanted to touch base today and wish everyone well!
I would like to congratulate Eletia and Jimmy! I wish nothing but love and happiness for the two of you. Life needs love and love makes life alot more enjoyable! I hope that the two of you will enjoy many, many happy years together!
Jared, Betsy and Kate, congratulations on the addition of Carson to your family!! He is absolutely adorable!! Personally I think he looks like his daddy (from the pics so far). Babies change so much daily that he may change a million times in the next few months, but I have seen that face before! Your little family is an inspiration to me. It is definitely full of love! Keep up the good work!
I would also like to pass along to April and Zac that your boys are toooooo cute!! I really need a Caden "fix"....and I need to get to see Toby again now that he has become a little boy, instead of a baby! He looks so grown up....
Blair and Jay, AS USUAL, you two are the best!! Thanks for all that you do to keep the family connected....Blair I am so proud of you with your job and your continued efforts to keep everyone healthy and fit...it is so important on so many levels!! You absolutely have the most tender heart of anyone I know. Love just seeps from your pores!! Love ya.....
I heard from Pat McClure that Jill is now working at the bank in Idalou....I hope that you like your job Jill. And I am not sure when ya'll are moving into your new home, but I know you must be very excited!! I cannot wait to see what you do with it...you have a natural knack for decorating!! I see Stormy from time to time and she is growing up so fast.....GORGEOUS!!
James, Shavonne and Brock....I know that ya'll are anxiously awaiting Brice Jackson....we are all anxious and sending our prayers for an easy delivery and healthy baby. It will be so much fun to have two little boys running around the house!
Susan, I hope that Brice continues to do well...Peggie told me that he was doing okay!! Wow, talk about an inspiration...He is just like the energizer bunny!!! KEEPS ON GOING AND GOING AND GOING......We should all be so lucky!
Brother Gary, hope you are doing good!! I have a John Wayne picture here for you if you want it...I will try to get it over there sometime....
Lynnie is doing a little better since she is home now....Michael is growing into a little butterball now!! Madelynn is having a procedure on her eye on Thursday...I am not sure what exactly it is called, but since she was born her eye waters all the time and evidently it is a clogged tear duct or gland, so the doctor will have to insert a probe to unclog it...the procedure I believe is fairly simple but they will have to put her to sleep...Maggie is really worried about them putting her baby to sleep but I am sure everything will be fine. And Madelynn will be very happy that we are not all constantly rubbing her eye!! Boston continues to be AWESOME!!! He never ceases to amaze me....ok enough for now!!
love to all,
kittie

Hey Everyone...I have a new circuit for everyone on http://www.healthyhappyme.com/ It is low impact and a good workout for those of us who have bad knees...Give it a try and see what you think. Love, Blair

P.S. I am loving my new little nephew Carson....I also love my 2 other nephew, Caden and Toby and my little niece, Kate.....

I'm luckiest Uncle in the whole wide world!

Hey Family,
Again, Blair, you are the man with the camera and the knowledge to post all the pics for the rest of us. The pics of the "homecoming" are great. Now there are 4 little "Gowens" off-spring there in Ft Worth so ya'll are growing in leaps and bounds. Carson is really wonderful, cute, handsome, the whole thing!! Blair, you look like the, Oh So Proud Uncle of all these little ones. I know they love you so very very much. You too, Jay Boy, ha.

Betsy you look really great with a 2 or 3 day old baby. Jared, your eyes look a little tired, Ha. Seriously, hope you guys can get some rest and get back on your feet right away.

April it was good to see you and Zac and Caden and Toby. Boy they are really growing up fast too. Just love and miss all of you....... Maw
