    Yay! Congratulations , Bowers. :) Two boys will be so much fun.

    I LOVE the video, Katie, it’s so creative and cute. Did it take ages to shoot though? I’ve always wanted to make one but it seems intimidating, lol.

      It took about six hours from start to finish…but I did spend quite a bit of time the night before writing down ideas and trying to find the right song.

    Hey Katie:

    I’m a lurker and trying to be more of a participant – ha. Anyway, congrats on the new offspring. Love your blog and YHL and read both EVERY SINGLE DAY! I like the Craft Wars show but I’m not really liking the judges…wait until you watch the other episodes.

    • July 26, 2012

      I watched two separate episodes and in general I felt like it was just weird…. Like the wedding wishing tree that was completely unfunctional…where did you hang the wishes?!? And then the judges were like you should have sanded the Christmas tree topper plexiglass…really? Because I didn’t realize this was construction wars. Just overall the judging is weird.

    Such a cute video! I’m having a baby boy in November too! It seems to be the year of boys!

  25. July 27, 2012

    What a precious video! Congrats! You will love having 2 boys. Mine are 2 years apart and it is so fun watching them grow and become best buddies. They are now 2 and 4 years old and finally reaching the age where they actually enjoy each other’s company and love playing together. Get ready to hear these phrases a lot: “Mommy, he’s trying to get my toys!” “Mommy get him away from my stuff!” “Mommy, he happens to be glancing in the general direction of my toys and he is in the same room with them, therefore will definitely steal them, so do something!!!” (Ok, I added that last one to represent my oldest son’s thoughts.) It’s lots of fun though!

    KATIE! You were right and I was wrong, since i was positive it was a girl. haha

    As a mom of two boys myself (so is my sister), CONGRATULATIONS to you, Jeremy and Will. And I promise I am not overstating it when I say that could possibly be the coolest video I have ever seen in my life!! xoxo

    Low internet signal caused me to have to rely on the fb comments to spoil the surprise. But once I got a chance to watch it I immediately shared it with my hubby, in a this is so exciting way…that was received with a ???who is this??? response. Geepers men don’t get that blogging makes you one sided friends so easily hehehehee
    Any who we are impatienlty praying and trying for number 2 as well. Our number 1 is also a boy and his little impromtu prayer sessions for a baby are down right waterwork provoking

    Katie….this is a late comment, but I have questions about that video…

    Ok, first, Congratulations!! I was secretly hoping you’d have a girl, since I have a daughter so I wanted to see all your fun girly ideas to copy. But your family is such a good boy family and Will and that little guy are lucky to have a big yard and rough and tumble sentiment and more tools and vehicles than can be believed to grow up around. And having my own sister I am super close to and love to pieces and my husband having a brother who we was extremely close to I have to say that there is a special bond and you get from having a close sibling of the same gender. So Will is a lucky little guy! Unfortunately, you are now even more outnumbered. Go buy yourself something pink as a consolation prize.

    Anyway, I’m really commenting because I was hoping you would post something about the making of that video. I would love to make something similar (but not so well thought out) but have no idea what software you’d need or where to start.

    • August 4, 2012

      Well, I just used Windows Movie Maker and uploaded the 200+ photos and made them pretty speedy (they only showed for less than a second)…so it’s really easy…just lots of pics and planning :)

    I stopped reading you blog for about 6 month. I come back and you are pregnant! How exciting! So I search everywhere for the announcement and for the jender! Yey I found it! Great video! So happy for your family! I will be sure to follow this time!

  45. August 10, 2012

    love it! perfect song choice!

  46. August 14, 2012

    Long time lurker…first time to comment. I just had to share my excitement with you on another boy. Brothers are the BEST thing! I am currently expecting my 4th boy…due, are you ready? Nov 6th! Congrats Bower Family!

  47. August 16, 2012

    This was such a great video! It made me tear up! And I’m not even a mommy or a soon-to-be-mommy. Heck, I don’t even have a boyfriend! But this was just too precious to not let the water works well up in my eyes. I just loved this. Congrats on another beautiful boy! How exciting! I don’t even know you, but I am so dang excited for your new life adventures. Thanks for posting this video!

    Beautiful. Am new to your site from visiting YHL and knew you had a boy, but am sitting with tears. What a cool thing to share with your wonderful little guy later. Mom awards to you X 100. I get 1 mom award if I cook something good, so 100 at one time…you rock mom.
