A trip to the zoo...

We went to the zoo... daddy, Mar-Mar and Maya came too! We saw sooo many animals. Bryson's favorite were the elephants and giraffes. He showed us how to be each animal. Did you know there were dinosaurs at the zoo? Bryson was a little unsure of the dino's but we're sure he'll love them even more next time!

A Big Day

Today, Bryson has his first haircut. I'm pretty sure it was more traumatic for me than it was for him. He LOVED 'riding' in the airplane, he sat so still and didn't even mind the clippers. I was shocked at how well this went. He looks like such a little man now!

Easter Egg Hunt

Today we took Bryson for the Easter Egg Hunt at Christ Lutheran. We brought Marlene and Maya too! We were shocked at the number of people that turned out and the number of eggs!! (1,200) We watched a short story about the meaning of Easter, collected some special eggs that tell the Easter story and then set the kiddies loose on the lawn! Bryce really got into it and seemed to enjoy picking up the eggs. He liked it even more when he figured out that the eggs had candy and treats inside! He found a Hershey Kiss insode of one and worked sooo hard to open it that I had to let him have a bite!

Look at this!

He's just so darn cute!! Can anyone blame me for no being able to say no to him....ever?!?

Hoooray!!! No more crummy pictures!

While I know the blog is about Bryson, I thought I'd share that with the help of my generous family, I was able to get a BRAND SPANKIN' NEW camera for my birthday (it's a Canon Rebel xSi in case you're interested, 12 mega pixels baby). So, YAY, for no more crummy, blurry pictures!

Can you tell the difference? It's crisp, it's clear and I just took the darn thing out of the box... I don't even know how to use it yet and I feel like everythings already a million times better. And Bryson's thrilled too, can you tell?

**Edited to add that as I am taking these pictures the camera breaks! Can you believe it, a piece came off internally, I had the camera for a day, I took 15 pictures. Neatless to say I got a new one the next day!**

Potty Machine

We're still working on it and having decent success! I can't wait to post that he's potty trained. Until he's ready, we'll take what we can get! Please pardon the hair, apparently wearing spikey hair to bed produces quite the bed head look in the morning!

Hamming it up!

He's really getting into having his picture taken... can you tell by the pose? He's saying cheese in case you can't tell!

Here he is with his buddy Tim... good think Uncle Tim likes to play, 'cuz that's all Bryce wanted to do! Uncle Tim is after all just a big kid himself!

Swim Lessons

Bryson is clearly part fish... these are pictures from his first round of swim lessons... Bryson is one of the oldest kids in the calss and really doing an amazing job. He jumps of the edge and turns to find the wall, scoops, kicks, goes under water, keeps his mouth closed and lets his instructor carry him around the pool... it's like he's not even my child!! We take this class with our friends Amber and Braydon as well as Bridget and Patrick.

It's been a while!

I'm attempting to update!! Bear with me... and in the meantime, checkout this face!!

I'm sorry!

Sorry I haven't updated it such a long time. What little spare time I have, I try to get the daily blog updated! If you're missing out pictures of Bryson, be sure to check out the other blog! I will keep up dating this with Bryson's milestones and fun activities!
