Visiting with Aubrey


Bryson was SO excited to see Aubrey today! Stephanie and Aubrey came to visit along with my teacher friends from school. The two kiddos had a GREAT time!

Wurkin'

Bryson was VERY excited by his present from Uncle Matthew, Aunt Susan and cousin Owen.... his very own set of Black and Decker tools, which he of course made me open right away so he could get to "wurk". He also showed off his super cool PUMA warm-up from Uncle Josh and Auntie Anna!

Nana, Papa and Uncle Benno

Bryson was very excited to see his Nana, Papa and Uncle Benno the day after Christmas. Not surprisingly he took to Uncle Benno super fast, immediately asking if he wanted to play and sharing pretzels! We had a great visit and look forward to the next time!

Christmas Eve


We had a wonderful time at my parents for Christmas Eve. Bryson gave us a glimpse of what was to come on Christmas day by wanting to open EVERYONE's presents, not just his! He also enjoyed spending time with Auntie Lynda!

Nate's Birthday

Nate and our friend Johnny have birthdays that are a day apart, so being the great wives that we are, Heather (John's wife) and I decided to throw a party for the two boys! It was a BLAST, to say the very least! Bryson joined us for the first half and had a great time playing with everyone!

Getting ready for Christmas

Decorating the tree has been Bryson's favorite thing to do this year as we get ready for Christmas. It was very funny to see ONE branch of the whole Christmas tree decorated! I left it like that for a week because it made me smile! Check out ou lights outside! I'm so proud! Nate did a great job... and Justin too! ;)

Celebrating at Sandbox

Bryson's school invited us to come for cookies and a craft. The BIG surprise was that Santa came as well! This was Bryson's first experience meeting Santa. He was acting like a huge ham the whole time we were singing but as soon as Santa came in he clammed up a bit. Thankfully, Santa was giving out suckers, which was the ONLY reason Bryce got anywhere near him. Didn't really sit still long enough for a great picture, but you get the idea! Below is a picture of Bryson and his buddy Brady and Brady's sister.

Happy Turkey Day!!


Bryson was hamming it up after we got back from a lovely Thanksgiving dinner at Grandma and Papa's. I wanted a cute picture of his outfit and this is what I got instead! :)

It's been a while!

So sorry to have not updated in so long...but as you can imagine, a 2 year-old consumes quite a bit of time!! I'll be 'back posting' for a few days until we catch up! Enjoy!

The doctor is in...

...Dr. Bryson that is! Bryson was a doctor for Halloween this year. He couldn't wait to "trich or chreat" and give all the kids band-aids! After celebrating early at school on Thursday, he enjoyed collecting candy at 'grandma and papa airplanes' house and in our neighborhood with Michael and Aanya. Afterwards we had a big bash at our house which was tons of fun!

A pumpkin, some apples and a whole lot of fun!







This weekend we were lucky enough to have Stephanie, Chet, Aubrey, John and Heather join us in Michigan. We visited the Jollay Apple Orchard and our family tradition, Gene the Pumpkin man. Everyone had a great time and we look forward to making this a yearly tradition!

A visit to the aquarium....

We went to the aquarium with Aubrey. They had so much fun together! I think their favorite parts were the penguins and the beluga whales. We happened upon the belugas when they were in their training session, Bryce had a beluga wave at him and spit water at him!

Touch A Truck!

Check out Bryson's latest adventure!

He had so much fun getting to "ride" in all his favorite vehicles! I think the helicopter was probably his favorite!

Happy Fourth of July




We celebrated a wonderful and thankfully safe fourth of July in Michigan. Bryson really enjoyed looking at the fireworks, however, he requested "Ear-muffins" because they were too loud! And well, we're still working on the smiling on command!

Swimming with friends!

We have the nicest neighbor! Our friends Ang and Jenny let us use the pool when it's super hit! Bryson has a little crush on Jenny and loved when she babysat for him. Bryson is doing very well in the pool and has graduated to water wings... he even jumps in all by himself! Ang always gives Bryce a popsicle while we're there... now the little stinker sees her and immediately starts asking for one!

Just like daddy!

Bryson loves his 'mower'. He likes to follow daddy around 'mowing' the lawn right behind him. It's funny, he even turns the mower just like Nate! Can't wait until he can ACTUALLY mow the lawn!! :)
