02 September 2010Bryce's first day of school
Staying Out Of The Trouble Bubble!
27 August 2010Bryce is officially in Kindergarten
Today is the last day of Bryce's first full week of school. They started last Thursday the 19th of August. He has loved every second of it. He is not too thrilled to hear about anything that we do without him (including the things he doesn't ever like to do). Brennon missed him terribly the first few days, but has now developed a little more confidence to do things alone. His school encourages parents to come eat lunch with their children, so yesterday Brennon and I went to eat lunch with Bryce. I brought him a kids meal from sonic because I have been sending him sandwiches and other healthy things in his lunch box to eat at school. So when I got to the cafeteria he was very excited to see me, but had already gone through the cafeteria line and gotten a tray full of chicken rings, a roll, and milk. I said, "Bryce, how did you pay for that?" He looked at me like are you silly and said," I just told them my name and they scanned that thing". I was totally confused because I had not given him any money for lunches. Apparently the school will let them charge their lunch if they need to and he figured that out very quickly. So I went to pay the lunch lady back for his food that day and I owed her $3.50 ALREADY! I have been sending his lunch and he has been getting food from the cafeteria! HAHA As we sat at the table to eat his "tray" I look at his roll and noticed a hair, but it was obviously his hair so I didn't think much else about it. Until, he turned to the side and there was alot of his hair on his shoulder. I got a little concerned that his hair was falling out or something. Then I thought, well maybe somebody pulled his hair. Right then he looked down at the table and on the top of his hair there was a little gap, a chunk of his hair was missing. He had CUT his hair at school. I had to hold back my chuckles, but composed myself enought to ask him what happened? He copped to cutting his own hair and asked over and over, "am I in trouble? Are you made at me?" I assured him that I was not mad, but disappointed and if he EVER cut his, or anyone else's hair,again he would be in big trouble! And that's only the FIRST week of school! Can't wait to see what's next! 11 July 2010Brennon at 3
Well Brennon, you are such an energetic little guy! You are sweet and sensitive, but with enough spunk and zest to set anyone straight that crosses you. You're certainly a complex little guy. On one hand you're so loving and sweet, then on the other you will push the first child that tries to get a toy that you wanted. You're all boy! Full of fire and excitement. You love to eat. You used to eat really well and would eat almost anything I put infront of you. However, you've recently gotten very picky about your food, not even trying things - very strange. But you're still a healthy little guy. I'm not really sure how much you weigh - I would guess around 35 lbs but could be off. You love to do whatever your big brother does! You look up to him alot! You want to play with his toys and wear clothes just like him. You get mad at daddy and me if we get onto him. You are definately ready to go to battLe for him. You love to sing Hush Little Baby don't say a word.... (I've got to get that on video) You still won't say your ABC's although you know them, you won't count to 10, and you rarely give the correct answer to almost any question - however, you are very smart. You CAN say your ABCs and count to 10 - but when asked to , you just smile and cock your head to the side and say the portion of them that you want! Sneaky little thing - it's almost like you just don't wanna do what we say! lol You definately don't follow rules well...unlike your brother - this is hard for me as a mother - I just don't know what to do with you most of the time. You are the best snuggler ever! And always want to sit or lay with your daddy and me. Certainly makes up for any of the hundreds of fits you may have thrown that day! If there is anyone crying or making a sad face you are the first to ask what's wrong and try to give them a hug. The cutest thing that you say on a regular basis, is "yeah baby!" - it's hilarious! You are our little ray of sunshine - with a mind of your own and one of the sweetest little hearts - you're a contradiction of great proportions, and I love every part of you!
Bryce in a nutshell
Well, Bryce, you've gotten so big so fast! I cannot believe how old you are! You are going to start Kindergarten in just over a month and I am stunned that you are that old! Seriously, it seems like you should still be waddling around playing with Thomas the train. I wanted to write this entry so that I would never forget the way things are right now. I have not updated the blog very frequently in quite a while. We are so busy and I know that things will only get busier. So here goes: Favorite color: green Favorite toys: action heros, bakugan, dinosaurs, and robots Pets: we have two fish names Rudy and Fire - Rudy is your fish, a bi-colored fin tail - however, I should mention we had a turtle for a few days and have had quite a few crickets and grasshoppers from time to time. Favorite Foods: you are a pretty good eater these days, you love chips and cheese dip, peanut butter and jelly sandwiches, pizza, chicken nuggets, cereal, and yogurt (among many others, but if you could eat what you wanted, it'd be one of those) You say the funniest things! I wish I could keep a video camera with me at all times to just catch some of the things you say, because sometimes you only say them once, but they're priceless clever little sayings! You are so excited about going to school so I've promised you that we'll buy you some new shoes, a new backpack and some new clothes to make you look your best! ;) and you really want to ride the bus...but not sure that one will happen. Your best friends are Nathan, Ayden, Olivia, Austin, Andrew, and Abigail You weigh roughly 40 pounds ringing wet. Give or take a few depending on the scale. You are very rarely sick. Which is such a change from the first couple of years of your life, but we are so thankfully for your health! You love to pray for your friends and have such a kind heart, of course sometimes the little 5 year old BOY comes out in you and you tend to want to wrestle, punch, and sometimes even knock people down - but you're always sorry! You are so protective of your little brother. Grant it, you two get into at least one screaming match a day, but he knows you're there for him and he looks up to you so much. You have taught yourself how to read. It is such an exciting thing to watch a child with your smarts! You are simply brilliant! You can add and are sometimes able to subtract and even multiply with the help of me and your daddy. You love to pick out your own clothes, and usually like novelty t-shirts with jeans and tennis shoes - however, you dont' fight me when I make you wear polo shirts (that's what you wear most of the time!) Your daddy and I love you so very much! And are so proud of the little man you have become. Can't wait to see all the growth and accomplishments that come with your first year of school.
14 June 2010Eureka Springs
Josh had an Assessors Convention this last week in Eureka Springs. So the boys and I went on Wednesday to join! We took an old timey train ride, had some great food, and I think the boy's favorite part was the hotel, it was very kid friendly. The hotel had a pool and at night would play a G rated movie on a huge screen so you could swim and watch the movie and the same time - they loved that. The hotel also had an arcade room and miniature golf - we had fun playing there too. I'll try and put captions on the pics! Bryce's Last ballgame
