Busy few days for Bambeano

Wow where does the time go it seems like yesterday I was just adding a post and here we are today with several milestones passed in the Bowden Household.... the most important of all my baby turned 6 on August 26 which then followed by his first soccer game of the season, a birthday party at the pool and his 1st day at Kindergarten, PHEW......

I am so blessed to have my beautiful children in my life with each having their own special traits and personalities.  Of course Bambeano is a sport fanatic through and through and loves the outdoors.  For his birthday he received a big boy bike and was proud to ride the cul de sac, his Aunt & uncle and Grandma did not disappoint with their gifts of Tottenham Hotspur apparel but I think Nannie got the loudest scream for the cash included in his birthday card, they do say money talks, ha ha.  Thank you

 

After the excitement of his birthday it was then on to Saturday for soccer mania.  Bambeano was determined that he would score some goals for his birthday.  Let's see if he can achieve more than his 18 he got during the Spring Season.  His new team is called the tornadoes quite fitting given the week end we were experiencing the high winds from the trail of Hurricane Irene.  Well the game started and Bambeano did not disappoint.  A corner kick within the 1st minute gave his team mate her first goal of the season followed a few minutes later for Bambeano's 1st goal.....GOOOAAAAL by half time we were winning 3-0 so Bombshell (who also happens to be coach) decided to pull back the firecracker strikers and try and go easy on the other team.  Unfortunately thist did not stop Bambeano - with another goal to his tally and another team mate scoring, the twin of the girl who scored 1st, we ended up with a score line of 5-0.  Not bad for our 1st game

Saturday over and now onto Sunday and Bambeano's pool party.  The cake was phenomenal from Saturday Morning Cakes a theme fit for the pool party by Bambeano's face below I am pretty sure he was stoked by it

After the excitement of his birthday party it was a day to wind down before his first day at school and riding the school bus.

Bambeano was very excited to be at the same school as Boo Boo and as their lunches crossed over Boo Boo stated she would find him and make sure he was having a good day, what a sweet big sister :)

He had a GREAT day, loved learning did great with his behaviour and listening but more importantly he loved it...... I am so proud of you Bambeano, Happy 6th birthday, great soccer game and well done at starting school, WE LOVE YOU

 

 

Lil Bombshell's soccer starts again,,,,,,

Bambeano has started his new soccer season and a new season means new soccer boots/cleats

I know this season is going to be good as Bambeano breathes soccer, if he isn't watching it on TV, playing it on the Wii then he is playing it.  Here's to a great season.

New Names....really

How long have I had this blog, how long has everyone had their names...... So this week my husband finally read the latest blog, despite each post being sent to him, and now he decides he does NOT like PAPA he says he sounds like an old man, grandad.  So I guess today is the name he receives his soccer name published for the world to see..... Papa is now affectionately known as BOMBSHELL BOWDEN

Is that a horse barking??????

Saturday was the annual Harrisburg July 4th Parade and Papa has made it his mission that we do the parade as a family. I guess not being an American matters to him……No seriously I think it is great that he is instilling a great American tradition to our beautiful American born children.

So the alarm sounds and Papa is off to stake his spot in the parade route with our chairs……. See I guess he has some European in him…….hmm I wonder if he has German in him? Y’know you’ve heard the story of the Germans and their towels, no, well that is a story for another day.

So BooBoo and Bambeano were less than thrilled at the prospect of getting up and out early to join Papa in the festivities, of course that was until I promised a Bojangles breakfast and reminded them of the 1000’s of candy that would be thrown at them…… Of we went to go join Papa. Thank fully this year was not as humid as previous years and it was great to see so many familiar faces from the soccer fields all out to enjoy the day. We had friends join us and we tucked in to breakfast while we waited for the floats to start…….

Now while we were waiting a Sheriff passed us on the other side of the road going towards the start of the parade.  In the bed of the truck was a dog crate with a police dog.  The tail gate was down with 2 Sheriff's sitting holding the reins of 2 horses trotting behind.  Now I guess Bambeano was too short to see the dog crate because he turned to Papa and I and stated "I didn't know horses could bark"  of course Papa and I knew it was in fact the dog in the crate but boy Bambeano was oh so innocent with his statement.  So as the parade started and the horses arrived in the parade we all gasped and told Bambeano, there are the barking horses and smiled to ourselves....we love you Bambeano with your great statements
