Introducing....

The Newest Member of the LDS church!!

Brother Jack J. Drews

Jack was baptized by Jer, this past Saturday at our church here in Ramona.

We are so proud of him. He is a GREAT kid with the best personality ever.

Since we live so far away (in the beautiful sunshine) I thought I would share the day with you.

I think this is the only family picture that we have of us since we had Ty.
So, I thought I would post it. Even though it is blurry and I look like S#*!.
Oh well, the boys are looking good.

Jack praising the Lord and singing Hallelujah!
(what we do here in the sticks)
hahahaha
Congrats Jack!

Can't wait to see everyone in November!!
Although we are not looking foward to the COLD weather :(
Love you all.

We made it!!!

The birthday's are finally over!

After celebrating 3 kids birthdays in one month we are more than

happy to move out of birthday season!!

Jack had a GREAT 8th birthday...lots of presents, friends, and fun!

Jack face is priceless...it says it all.

Jack in his usual ways...with his pants undone.
(Jack with his friend Jared)

No, Jack is not doing what you think he is.

Jack being Jack always has to do some strange position for his picture.

It is just about impossible to get him to hold still.
Jack and a few of the party kids! (we had 16 ahhh...what was I thinking?)

Julia, Kolton, and Jack Swimming

Blowing out the candles.

Happy Birthday to the funniest, sweetest, kind hearted, toughest kid I know!

We love you Jack!!

2 down 1 to go! (birthday's that is)

Was it really 13 years ago??

Since you could not be here to celebrate Christian's Birthday

we will bring the celebration to all of you!

On his birthday!

(notice the shirt mom?? it is from you!)

(he got it at Yankee Stadium)

CD and all of his manly friends!
(well maybe half manly)

Most of the cupcakes were thrown in each others faces.

Christian and Kyle

Christian and Nick showing off their

Pyloric Stenosis scars.

He was in heaven opening presents. You get great

presents down here. He loaded up on gift cards.

I dont know maybe that's how it is now a days?

Christian's favorite present...an A-rod Rookie Card.

(see what I mean)

The boys had a great time. They toilet papered the neighbors house,

watched cars drive over duct tape, (it makes it sound like they have a flat tire), ignored the cute neighborhood girls that came over to hang out, played truth or dare, (christian had to pee his pants and jump in the pool) and stayed up all night long. It also made me and Jer feel really old.

Weren't we 13 like 2 years ago?

Where did the time go?

Happy Birthday CD!

We love you!

Ty's 1st Birthday!!

Our sweet little baby Ty turned 1!

It seems like yesterday that this cute little guy came into this world.

6 weeks early, and at a whopping 5lbs...but, completly healthy.

( I think he was just as excited to meet us as we were to meet him)

Now none of us can imagine life without him.

He has been a much needed addition to our family.

Thanks G'ma for the cute puppy!

Happy Birthday Ty-Ty!!!

Steamboat Springs 08'

We had a GREAT time in Colorado this past week.

We biked, tubed down the river, ate way to many Oreos, watched lots of baseball, went to the spooky ranch, found some treasures at the ranch, slid down the Alpine Slide, had altitude sickness (only us sea level wimps)

and of course had lots of fun with all the cousins.

Steamboat was amazing!

(we were at 9,000+feet)

At Bry and Stein's house.

(I love Tinney's face)

How did we get so many boys?

Happy baby Ty and his buddie JT!

Spooky Ranch!

This is what we found in the houses....ewwww!

Bryan and dad took the bones home to make necklaces.

We can't wait to see them.

Bryan and Christine's next fixer-uper!

Bryan was so scared. He wouldn't even open his eyes.

He was afraid to go in...we had to drag him.

It was really quite embarrasing.

Watching the Baseball game.

Kurtie mad because he needed more Diet Cokes.

Thanks everyone for coming!

We had a WONDERFUL week!!

ChowTin Fabulous 4th!!!

Ok, I thought I was loading the pictures of our great vacation to San Diego and Emma's house, but Dave changed the card in the camera and so I only have the 4th pix - I will get the other card and add the San Diego ones in the wrong order. We hope everyone had a great 4th - we sure did! We started with fireworks at the Centerville Park, Cache Valley Car Show and the STYX Concert and ended with a BANG at home doing our own fireworks in the driveway - Ask Justin about his "bomb." Anyway we had a great time and we rocked to STYX until our ears were ringing. Hope you all enjoy the pictures. Also - Kurt, Dave is sitting in his new car...he he he.... we hope you like it!

Chowtin Family Blog

Ok - starting the Chowen/Tingey Blog - but can't figure out how to send you all the link to it - what can I say??? Computer challenged. So here is the link address - Brad if you can add us I would appreciate it. Check us out at chowtin.blogspot.com.

Owen's Birthday & Preschool Graduation

Here are a few pictures from O-Daddy's birthday party. (I'm a little slow getting them posted :)

He loves the Super Soakers! Thanks for helping with the fort Grandma & Grandpa!
The Lightning McQueen Cake

Sorry Carlyn! I had to post this one! All geared up for the party!

Last week we went to the Tree House Museum with Owen's class where they have a huge map of the U.S.

Playing with the Other Auernigs in Colorado!

Hanging out at Aunt Emma's

For Owen's preschool graduation, they asked each of the kids about their favorite things and what they wanted to be when they grow up. Owen apparently wants to be a bat. I guess he took the "you can be anything you want to be" talk to heart!
