The Boman Family

Still alive!!

2010-05-22T13:39:00.000-07:00

So... As you can tell I am probably the WORST blogger ever. I honestly cannot find the time, and once I started using FB I realized it was much easier:)

But just a quick recap..

Bella is 6 and is the sweetest most angelic little girl I know. She would do anything for anyone. Tate is 4 and is so sweet and quiet. He is always full of hugs and is a man of few words.

Tyse is 2 and is wild and crazy!! He has his mommys personality and it always very dramatic.

We are expecting another baby in December. We are so excited and I am HOPING that it is a GIRL so we can be done having kids:).. I hate being Pregnant!

Here are my Kids latest pictures taken by Skye Johansen..

California Here We Come!

2008-12-31T23:15:00.001-08:00

few months ago we took a trip to California for our cute nieces baby blessing. While we were there we decided to hit the beach, swap meet, and Disneyland.

It was such a fun trip

and the weather was beautiful!

THANKS BRIT AND BRODIE for being such great hosts! We had such a blast!

Bellas Dance Performance

2008-12-31T22:39:00.001-08:00

So Little Bella Boo had another dance recital. She was so excited and did such an amazing job. She loves to perform!

We just moved her to a new dance studio recently and this was her first performance with them.. Well we showed up to the performance with hair all poofed, sparkled and curled!

(Of course) Well about 20 minutes into the recital I realized that all the dancers had their hair slicked to their heads in a tight bun. It is a requirement and we had no idea. So needless to say.. she was very easy to spot with her big ringlets!

Thanks so much to all those who came to support her!

Halloween

2008-12-31T22:18:00.001-08:00

So I know I am a couple months behind on the blogging but I have been having some major computer issues.. luckily brady just bought me a new Mac and things

are much easier and faster..

For HALLOWEEN I let my kids pick what they wanted to be. Tate wanted to be a Pirate and Bella wanted to be a Genie. Luckily I still have a say in Tyses costume.

I love halloween! I start shopping for costumes clear in August. It was so much fun!

Tyse is 9 Months

Our FABULOUS Trip to EUROPE..

2008-10-03T15:40:00.000-07:00

So.. Every year Brady and I take one big trip together WITHOUT our kids. We look forward to this trip. However, before we go I turn into one stressed out mamma. I literally make myself sick worrying about leaving my kids. This time I broke out in shingles, cankers and thrush. I was a mess! Needless to say the second I got on that airplane my worry and anxiety left and I was all about enjoying my vacation with that darling hubby of mine. I love our yearly trips together because it is a reminder of why we fell in love and how lucky I am to be married to such an amazing person. We had SOOOOO much fun!

Our first stop... Paris, France

The Eifel Tower

On top of the Eifel Tower

The view from the top

We went to see the LUVE.. It was AMAZING! I was so caught up in the beautiful building that I had a hard time concentrating on anything else. UNBELIEVEABLE!

Ryan giving the naked statues butt a credit card swipe.

Brady and Ryan in front of the Mona LisaThese buildings and churches are beautiful!

Our next stop was Chamonix. It is on the border of France and Switzerland. This was the most beautiful place I have ever been.
The little town.. So Quaint and surrounded by massive mountains.
We took a tram up to the top of Mount Blanc (one of the highest peaks in the world). Being surrounded by glaciers was incredible. It was like an out of world experience. I froze my little tush off but it was so worth it. There was a cafe, restaurant, and hotel built into the peaks of the cliffs on top. It was unbelieveable sipping hot cocoa at over 14,000 feet in elevation overlooking the cool city of chamonix!
Brady wanted to see what kissing was like on top of Mont Blanc.

These crazy men would get all geared up with their spiky shoes and head down the mountain. I could not believe my eyes. They were telling us that the number of deaths each year is very high. Often they will slip and fall or an avalanche will hit. They had to walk on a 1 foot landing and on each side there was a drop off. CRAZY!

Then we were off to ITALY..
Okay.. First things first.. Are you kidding me with these cobblestone roads? Lets just say I was so happy I packed my low maintenance tennies, because if i would have been wearing my stilletos I think I would have broke a leg. These roads are everywhere in Italy.

This could be my favorite picture of Brady because he spent a lot of time holding the map with his backpack on. Nope... We did not look like tourists at all.

Trevi Fountain in Rome.

Our favorite part was sitting back and watching all the street salesman.

They are so pushy and so annoying but hilarious to watch.

Inside the Colliseum

The Vatican..

Wow! What an amazing building! I confessed a few sins while inside (hee hee).

Then......off to VENICE

Venice was my favorite place in Europe! It was absolutely amazing! I loved walking around the small city, looking at all the old buildings, and seeing how people lived on the water. It was so crazy watching them cruise around in their little boats.

Okay.. Pigoens are my new favorite bird. They are so cute with their bobbing heads and I love how friendly they are. If you have any food they will swarm you. It was so fun watching them.. Just dang glad I did not get pooped on.. Too bad I cannot say the same for Brady.. Ha!

I loved all the decked out gondolas. So Romantic!

What an amazing trip! It was really fun going back to Italy where Brady had served his mission and hearing him speak Italian. And thank Heavens that Ryan spoke French because without him I think the French people would have really hated us.. We missed you Jen!!
And I am so grateful for Bon and Sal for watching our kids.. We are so lucky to have you!

How Cute Are My Highschool Friends?

2008-08-20T15:11:00.000-07:00

Here is a picture of all my cute highschool friends. (We missed you Rach)

We all got together to throw a baby shower for Suzette. (Who is due next month and looks adorable) Needless to say I forgot to take pictures.. Not a very good host... But luckily Melody emailed me this one!

I love these girls! What a bunch of Hot Mamas!

Kellie, Trina, Katie, Suzette, Melody, Lorilee, Sierra, Jodie

(Sierra and Jodie are also pregnant)

Tyse is 7 Months

2008-08-19T15:41:00.001-07:00

Wow! Time flies.. I feel like I just had this little baby boy last week. I cannot believe he is already 7 months old. He is such a lovable little squirt. He is a ball of energy! Always grabbing everything and moving at all times. I cannot get enough of him! I love it too because he is my brown eyed boy! My other two kids both have blue eyes... So it is fun to have a change.. plus it might make him look a little more like his mommy. (ya right!) He definitely has mommies personality too! Here are some random pictures of him lately.

Happy Birthday Bella and Tate!

2008-08-10T15:00:00.000-07:00

My little Bella Boo and Tate Buddy had their birthdays this week. Bella turned 5 and Tate turned 3. I cannot believe how old they are getting! Since their birthdays are only one day apart we did a combined birthday party at Boondocks (They picked the spot). All their grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins came to celebrate. It was so much fun!

The kids got new bikes and have been cruising around our circle every day since!

This is quite the party! All the kids had a blast playing the arcade games

I usually don't write too much but let me just say how much I love these 2 little kiddos of mine! They are the sweetest kids! Bella is my little ANGEL! I do not know how I got so lucky to have her as my daughter! She is so sweet and always wanting to do things that make me happy. She is a sweet, sensitive, organized, little angel and I do not know what I would do without her!

Tate is my little buddy! He is so mello and laid back! I love it! Anything goes with him.. He is happy and content all the time! He is my little snuggler. Every night while tucking him in he puts his arms around my neck, gives me tons of kisses, and says," Mom, I weally weally like you!" He melts my heart!

Happy Birthday to my Bella Boo and Tate Buddy!

Our 10 Year Reunion

2008-07-03T20:58:00.000-07:00

At Pirates Cove in Boulder City, Nevada

Ever since I was little I have had the same group of best friends. And Once we hit the ripe age of 14 we would go to Boulder, Nevada every year for Spring break. Trinas family has a fabulous house there and her cute, crazy dad would spoil us rotten on our weekend adventures!

Well, Trina decided to plan a 10 year reunion with all our girlfriends, hubbys and kids. We had so much fun! From going down the water slides, resting in hammocks, basking in the sun, eating ice cream, BBQing, to just hanging out and getting to know every ones families a bit better. It was such a fun trip. I honestly have the best friends. They are all so amazing and I feel so lucky to have had such close relationships with them over all these years. I love you all!

Thanks Trina Beana for planning this trip. Bella and Tate are still talking about "Pirates Cove".

Trina, Katie, Suzette, Rachel, Brittany, Lorilee

(We missed you Melody)

Just the girls snuck away for a few hours for a little Cheesecake Factory and some shopping.
Me and Trina Beana... Shop-a-holics!

The Girls putting on their "whip stick"

We were there over Fathers Day.. So I decided to pamper that hubby of mine and make him a fabulous breakfast... (Don't look too close)

The boys played a rough game of water basketball and had so much fun! They were so dang aggressive that we were all surprised they still liked each other when the game was over.This is the only picture I have of Tate out of the water.. From 6 am to 9 pm he would continually go down the water slide over and over again. At nights his poor little butt was rubbed raw! But that did not stop him! He loves the water!

Rachel took this picture of Bella. She is seriously amazing. She truly has a talent in photography.

This place is amazing! Thanks Trina for inviting us... We had a blast!

Bellas Dance Recital

2008-06-08T14:21:00.000-07:00

Bella had another dance performance and she did such a good job! She loves to perform and loves to get dressed up all fancy! Her favorite parts are getting to wear make up and sparkles in her hair. She is such a GIRLY GIRL!

(Don't know where she gets that from? Hee! Hee!)

Bella and her cousin Olivia

Bella had quite a crowd! Her grandparents, aunts, and cousins all came to support her. She got flowers, a medal, and a trophy. She was so excited! What a lucky girl!

Tyse is 3 months old!

2008-05-23T16:10:00.000-07:00

This Mamma is ready to put this kid up for SALE!
Just kidding! but don't let the sweet face fool you.. He is one fussy little dude! I am hoping that his continuous screaming will stop soon, but I am afraid that I finally got my spunky little personality! I knew it was coming.. Bella and Tate have been way too easy! We love him to pieces but some days the screaming gets a bit relentless! Luckily those big brown eyes still melt our hearts.
We love our baby Tyse!

Tyse was Blessed

2008-04-14T14:27:00.000-07:00

On April 13th we decided to bless Tyse. It was such a beautiful day! All of Tyse's family and friends came to support him. Brady gave such a great blessing. We were certain that Tyse would scream during the blessing but he was really calm and happy. Which is surprising because 99% of the time he is screaming. He is my little fussy bug!
How sweet is this picture of his little cute, chunky face!
Looks just like his Daddy!

The Zoll Girls (We wanted to get an entire family picture... But my sisters all have way too many kids and it would have been way too much work)

The Boman Family
What a lucky little boy to have such fun, hip grandparents on both sides!

By the end of the day Tyse was done taking pictures!

2008-02-29T16:58:00.000-08:00

These baby announcements turned out so cute thanks to my darling friend Jen. She is so talented so if you want to get on her site and see all of her work here it is: www.savvydigidesign.wordpress.com

Thanks Jen! You are the best!

Baby Boman Has Finally Arrived!

2008-01-24T14:05:00.000-08:00

On Friday, Jan. 18th I was induced. It was heaven.. What a way to have a baby! Our little baby boy weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and had tons of black hair. (But only in the back, it forgot to keep growing on top.. Shoot!) When he popped out he looked just like Bella and Tate. But as the days have gone by I think he has changed alot. He left the hospital with no name. Then the first day he was home I named him Crew. However by nighttime I realized that Crew did not fit him so I changed his name to Tyse. It just seems to fit him better. He is such a miracle and such a blessing! I cannot get enough of him! What a bundle of Joy!

New Baby!

2008-01-17T14:09:00.000-08:00

Just to let everyone know... I am getting induced on Friday Jan. 18th!

We are so excited and can't wait to meet our little baby boy!

I will post some pictures in a few days, and hopefully by then we will have decided on a name

for the little guy.

Ashlii just emailed me this about being a mom and I fell in love with it...

So I decided to post it!

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby.

I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous.

I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on.

I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.

I slept all night.

Before I was a Mom

I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots.

I never looked into teary eyes and cried.

I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.

I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put him down.

I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt.

I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much.

I never knew that I could love someone so much.

I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.

I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby.

I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child.

I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy.

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.

I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.

I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom.

Christmas

2008-01-05T14:55:00.000-08:00

Christmas was so much fun! Decorating the house, hosting parties, spending time with family and friends, teaching our kids the true meaning of Christmas, and watching Bella and Tates faces light up when they saw what Santa had brought them. What a fun year.

I can't believe it is 2008!

Brady loved his new snow blower

The kids favorite present from Santa was this 15 foot roller coaster. They loved it!

Bella made a darling present and card for Mommy and Daddy. She is so sweet!

Of course Santa would bring a golf set..Seeing that it is Daddys favorite sport

Tate snuggling with his Cars blanket!

Tate Buddy loves his Grandpa Zoll and anything to do with the movie Cars

The kids love playing Christmas chimes at their Nanas and Papas house

We acted out the nativity, the kids all got dressed up and loved saying their parts.

Bella and Clara were the angels

Tate was the camel

Every year Nana makes all the kids gingerbread men to decorate. My kids love this because they get to eat all the candy while decorating!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BELLA & TATE!

2007-11-29T18:11:00.000-08:00

In August Bella turned 4 and Tate turned 2. Since their birthdays are only 1 day apart I decided to do a combined 'Under the Sea' Birthday party. We had the party in our backyard and the kids ate, played on a big blowup water slide, went fishing for prizes and hit the fish pinyata.

The kids had a blast!

Tate loves to give hugs and kisses.

Bellas favorite part was fishing for prizes.

The pinyata was really hard to break. Finally uncle Ty had to use his muscles to crack it open.

The party was a success until.....

Right before the kids were going to blow out their candles on the cake, Tate lost his balance and fell belly first into the cake. (check out his shirt)

Everyone busted up except him. He was devastated!

A few minutes later Bella burst into tears because her mean little brother had ruined her cake too. Both the birthday kids sat and cried for a few minutes. But all in all the party was really fun.

Thanks to all the cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents!

Bella and Tate are so lucky to have you in their lives!

New York Here We Come!

2007-11-24T16:25:00.000-08:00

Brady & I decided that we better hurry and take a trip before baby # 3 arrives. So we decided to go to New York and visit Suzette and Bentley. We left our kids home and went for the weekend. We had so much fun. We went to see Wicked and it was amazing! I also loved the great shopping, going to China town, Little Italy, Statue of Liberty, Ground O, Central Park and spending time with my hubby. Suzette and Bentley were so fun to be with and fabulous tour guides. I didn't realize how much I would be walking, and being 7 1/2 months pregnant made it not so easy. Sometimes at night I swore I was going to have the baby.

Thanks to my BFF we had so so much fun!

HALLOWEEN 2007

2007-11-22T11:54:00.000-08:00

Our Little Bunny and Turtle

Spending time with the cousins making pumpkins, and having a big Halloween party

Bella and Tate loved playing Halloween Bingo.. Their favorite part was eating the candy corns and screaming "Bingo."

We had to dress Tate up in a turtle costume because it fits his personality so well! He is so mellow and calm... This costume was perfect for him!

Bella's First Dance Performance

2007-10-25T14:13:00.000-07:00

Cousin Oliva & Bella Kade, Bella & Tate

Bella has been taking dance now for about 10 months, and loving every minute of it! She loves to get in her little leotard and ballet shoes and twirl around the studio. Her first performance was so much fun! The auditorium was chuck full of people. I was a bit worried that she would freeze on stage but boy was I wrong! When the curtains opened she had a smile from ear to ear. She did every step perfect and loved performing! We were so proud of her.

Check out how precious her little fu-fu costume is!
