Bryce & Brennon

We are really enjoying the beautiful weather lately!  Spring and Summer are my favorite seasons so I really enjoy being outside, therefore I make the boys stay outside! - and yes, I put sunscreen on them!  Thought I would post some pics of us playing outside in this great weather! - I put captions on the pictures!

Bryce has the sweetest little friend, Preston.  We took them to the museum the other day and I had to snap a photo of the boys all lined up...precious.

There is a festival going on in Conway called Toad Suck.  It is apparently a big deal here.  They block off the entire downtown and set up a festival packed full of crafts, local merchants, lots of food including gator on a stick and fried tator dogs, well anything fried for that matter, and some kids' carnival rides.  It is really alot of fun when it's not too crowded.  Today we went before most of the merchants even opened b/c we had to go downtown to get some jeans hemmed and stopped by while we were there, and Brennon seemed to really enjoy it (Bryce is with Josh's mom in Daisy,AR).  He ate an entire Jumbo Corndog!  And of course I loved the fried twinkies and fresh squeezed lemonade!  It was really a good time!  We will have to go back to watch the toad races (they literally put out frogs and see which one passes the finish line first!) - pretty cute for kids~!

Bryce has gotten very interested in other countries and cultures lately.  He's been really big on China - people from China, things and foods from China...  Anyway, the other day we were driving in the car and he was watching a scooby doo movie, and he said " Hey!  Shaggy just said tamOtoe instead of tomAtoe...I didn't know he was Chinese!"  I laughed so hard!

Well...the big event of the year has happened...Kris Allen is one of the top 3 on American Idol and he is from Conway.  His hometown visit was last night (Friday) and so many people turned out for it! They say there was somewhere between 25 and 30,000 people there.  It was CRAZY!  You boys weren't too into it.  They did a parade for him and then he performed downtown and signed autographs.  Brennon was fussy the whole time, it was so hot and crowded, and Bryce just wanted us to see a parade with firetrucks, and there were none.  But, memorable none the less. 

My little Bryce is about as smart as they come - maybe I'm bias!  He can add now...only took me going over it a couple of times with him and he caught on instantly!  He can add any combination of the number 1-4.  He can subtract sometimes, if I put it in "apples" : example, you have 2 apples you subtract 1.  He can add one to any number pretty much, he's gotten that one down pat!  But every now and then I'll catch him on a good day and he has been known to add 3+8 or 5+7.  It may take him a minute, but he gets it!  He's just so brilliant and I didnt' want to forget what he can do at age 4!

We will be gone for the next week!  Will post pics and tell you all about it when we get back! :)

I am just posting pictures with captions.  We had a great time and too much fun!!!  Back to reality...

Bryce was the ring bearer for my cousin Seth's wedding this weekend.  He looked SSOO cute!  These pictures aren't the best b/c Josh had to take them on his phone due to me forgetting to bring the camera charger! :)
