Bryce & Brennon

This update is long overdue!  I have not written much about your "accomplishments" lately so I thought it was time!  You know so many colors, shapes, letters, and numbers!  It's just amazing how much your little mind can soak up.  You do so many cute and memorable things these days I wanted to make sure to document them so we never forget how darn cute you were!

Every night after we give you your bath you run straight to your bedroom, lay on your rug with your towel covering your head and wrapped completely around your body.  You think you're hiding and we can't see you - it's so funny!  We call for you and look all in your room for you(because we have no idea where you are ...wink wink) and then you jump up and say "Ta-Dah!"  Love it!

You have started counting in spanish at random times but you only count from 2 to 5.

We pray every night before bed and these are some of the things you have prayed for lately:  more fruit snacks, a haircut, the new baby, Thomas the train and other trains, friends and family, and sometimes just things that you enjoyed that day. 

You have started being so sweet.  When you were younger you weren't just the most affectionate baby.  Now you will run and give big hugs and kisses and tell us that you love us.  It's just precious and melts my heart!

You are a Daddy's boy alot of the time but when Daddy has been out of town for a couple of days you follow me all around the house and won't let me leave your side.

A few mornings ago when you woke up you came and got in bed with us and nuzzled up to Daddy and asked him to snuggle.  He just ate that up of course!

You can carry on long conversations and can say almost any word that is thrown at you. - my favorite phrases: "Ummm....sure!", "That's pretty cool", "I Never!"

You love to sing and dance.

You have started telling wild stories about how you hear elephants in your room or something like that.  You have tried to trick me at times by lying to me.  You once told me that Mickey Mouse was in a cabinet that is off limits to you and told me that he needed help, I went to open the cabinet door and said that I didn't see anything and you said "let me see" and pushed me aside and started playing in there...you just wanted to get to play in that cabinet the whole time!  I couldn't believe it!

I just love you so much! I enjoy everyday that I have been given with you!

Abigail had her 2nd birthday party.  Here are a few pictures from the party. 

It snowed here on Wednesday and Thursday.  It only snowed a short period both days but it was large snow flurries which here in east Texas is a pretty big deal.  We usually get ice a time or two a year but snow is rare.  You loved it!  You looked out the window while we ate dinner (there was noone there, I guess everyone got scared and stayed home).  I wish it would've stuck to the ground so you could play in it but the joy on your face was priceless none the less.

Today we went to Hudson's birthday party and you had an absolute blast!  You just love playing with Hudson you two are adorable together.  You were chasing each other and throwing popcorn at each other.  He had a super hero party and there were alot of little boys there your age.  I saw you rolling on the floor with one of the boys wrestling and usually other kids don't like to play rough like you do.  So I rushed over to make you stop and the little boy was laughing.  According to his parents he likes to wrestle too, so you two kept tackling each other and neither of you cried at all.  You're sometimes a little aggressive for children your age so I was relieved for once that the other child realized your were playing.  It was a cute little party over all and you seemed to really enjoy yourself!

We have a flipper everyone!  Yesterday when I went to my doctor appointment the baby had flipped from breech position and is now head down!  I'm not surprised at all! He kicks all the time and moves all over my stomach. However, this makes my mind wander...the wheels are definately churning.  I was so convinced that I was going to have to have another c-section b/c I felt sure that this baby would be breech too.  With the new developments it has gotten me thinking that if I were to decide to have a vaginal delivery, how would it go?!  The doctor says that my chance of rupturing the uterus is only 1 %.  The blood clot risk is equal for vaginal and c-section delivery.  This also puts my mind at ease b/c I have been a crazy nervous wreck this time about blood clots (in our small town 4 people have died in a years' period b/c of blood clots).    So whatever God decides is fine with me...I guess it's all in his hands anyway.  If I go into labor on my own, so be it!  If I have to have a c-section, so be it! (you can't be induced if you've already had a c)  This little guy could also flip back into breech position (I still have 15 weeks to go).  I'm just praying for what will be best for me and the baby.  But this sure is food for thought in my pregnant little mind!

Tonight we decided to make some pizza...one of your favorite foods! You did such a good job: pressing the dough, spreading the sauce, putting on the cheese, and sprinkling the parsley. Then I put some garlic butter on the crust (my pregnant touch) and put it in the oven. Sounds good right?! Well, American Idol came on and I forgot about the pizza and burned the edges...but the middle wasn't burned and was delicious! I love you my little chef!

Since Daddy is usually gone in the mornings by the time we're up and running I decided we should give you your Valentine present tonight!  Happy Valentine's Day...we really love you more than words can say!

You all had a Valentine's Party at school today.  You didn't eat the heart shaped rice crispie treat but you did eat all the chocolate you received!  School parties...and it begins!

You went to work with me for an hour or so the other day and you found your harmonica in your bag.  Then of course you were showing out for everyone that came in.  I had to take a picture because you were so serious about it!  You keep us laughing!  Love you!
