Christmas 2010

This year was Preston's 2nd Christmas and Bryson's 1st Christmas! As you can see, Bryson slept through some of it! Preston really got into it this year after opening the first couple presents. Next year will be a ton of fun with a 1 yr old and almost 3 yr old! Preston got a bunch of toys. Mostly all Toy Story related as he loves to watch "B" (buzz) and Woody. I feel like I've almost conquered the toy tornado that came through our house!

It was a great day. We opened presents when Preston woke up, played with toys then Shelby and I got ready and went to the Cardinals/Cowboys game. It was an awesome game. The Cardinals won!. . .my Christmas miracle :) The next day we went to Globe for more Christmas celebration with the Greenwalls.

I can't believe 2010 is coming to an end. It was an exciting year for us with a new addition to our family. We are so thankful for our wonderful blessings. Looking forward to 2011!!

Yo Gabba Gabba Live!

Shelby and I had a date with Preston to see Yo Gabba Gabba live. We left Bryson with Grandma and Nana while we went to the show. It was so much fun! I enjoyed it just as much if not more then Preston did! We bought him a Gabba Gabba t-shirt and flashy light. He was so excited. He really enjoyed the show and is still talking about it!

So excited for the show to start!

Mommy and Daddy ready too!

Bryson - 8 Weeks

Our little guy is 8 weeks old already!! He is finally staying awake more during the day and sleeping better at night. I'm still getting up about 2 times at night with him but it's much better then it was. He's also starting to smile and "coo" (talk). I'm enjoying the time with my boys and am happy that I have another month until I go back to work!

Lucky

We had to take our dog of 9 years to the pound after she attacked Preston. She did fine when Preston was born but I noticed a change in her after we brought Bryson home. She was much more jealous. Also, maybe it was her health issues that affected her temper. It really doesn't matter. What matters is that I felt the children were in danger with her around.

She had her rope toy and she was pulling at one end and Preston was pulling at the other end. I was laughing as she was pulling him along the carpet. I was happy that they were actually playing together. Then Lucky let go of the toy and Preston was going to throw it for her. In an instant, Lucky snapped and was on top of Preston. I quickly pulled her off and she bit me as well. It was a very scary experience that happened so fast. What if I wasn't in the room? It could have been a lot worse. Preston ended up with a bite mark on his head and side of face.

It was sad to see her go but ultimately she was a pet and our children are much more important. Goodbye Lucky bear......you were a great dog until the end and we will miss you.

Bryson - 4 Weeks

I am behind on my updates! Bryson is 6 weeks old today! When we took him for his 4 week check up he was 10 lbs, 4 oz and 21 1/4" long. He's a good eater! Well, a little too good. He has a problem with over eating and then throwing up. Not fun. We use the pacifier a lot but I'm really hoping he finds his fingers soon! He has also rolled over several times during tummy time and I got it on video. Of course he hasn't rolled over much since then! We are all doing great and enjoying our newest family member!

Random Fun

I am posting some pictures from Halloween weekend. Preston was Buzz Lightyear for Halloween. On Saturday night we went to a Halloween carnival with Robyn, Adam & Ryan and Carrah, Shane, Addyson & Abigail. On Sunday, we went trick or treating with Robyn, Adam & Ryan.

On Monday, Chris, Rachel, Connor, Colby, Cade, Ryleigh and Reaghan came to visit on their way back from Vegas. We took some pictures of Bryson and Reaghan. Reaghan is 5 weeks older and Bryson is almost as big as her!

Also, Preston is no longer in his high chair. He has "upgraded" to the booster seat! I kept him in the high chair as long as I could. He is such a big boy. Growing up way too fast!!

Pumpkin

Grandma Lynn's baby gift to us was professional pictures of Bryson! Megan Robbins came to our house today and took tons of pictures! This is one I snapped. He is just so precious. Our little pumpkin! Thanks for having the hat made Aunt Robyn! I can't wait to get the photos and order prints! I'll post more once we get the CD :)
