Landon's Fourth Birthday

On Landon's Birthday we went bowling

Getting ready to bowl!


Brycen's First Bowling Experience

The Birthday Boy is up!

Trying to get a group picture- Claire, Ella, Delaney, Landon, and Brycen

We had a great time celebrating Landon's birthday.

Big Boy Bed

Helping dad bring the boxes in OR just having fun with daddy!

Brycen helping put the new bed together.

Tired of waiting so taking time to play with trains.

The final product. It has a row of three drawers and a pull out trundle bed below. We have small rooms so working to make the best of our space. Now Mom just has to redecorate!

Brycen running to see the completed bed!!

Checking out what is in the drawers

Finally asleep!!!

Brycen has made pretty easy transitions in his life. We have been very lucky! Things like moving to the crib when he was a baby, dropping a nap, getting rid of the bottle, getting rid of the paci, potty training. BUT this big boy bed has been a little more difficult. We have had difficulties getting him to lay down for naps or at night.

We are working to get him in a bed before traveling for football or holidays. He does not do well in cribs other than his and he is to long for a pack and play. So that is why we have moved on to the "Big Boy Bed!"

Summer is over- Destin Pictures are here!

I am finally posting our trip to Destin, Florida we took in July!

The kids LOVED "playing with the balls" on the pool table.

We had an awesome trip to the beach this year!!
There were very few tar balls and not crowded at all. So glad we didn't cancel our trip.

Just like my daddy

Brycen does everything Just like Brad!


Yard work time


Boys night= pizza party



Following Daddy with my mower!

Brycen's 2 year pictures

Jessica Ritchie took Brycen's two year pictures. Here is a little peek! She is so talented. Can't wait to see the rest of the pictures!

Summer 2010

What have we been up to?
We attempted to take Brycen to see Toy Story 3. We (or should I say I) should have known better. He doesn't really like to watch much tv, he was off his normal day schedule, and the previews were way to long. We watched about 40 mins of the movie but he wanted to talk, walk around, and move back and forth from Brad and I. We left so the others around us were not annoyed. We will try another movie in a year or so.

Waiting for the movie to start!

The first preview is on! The kid didn't even want popcorn!

Fourth of July Church Outfit!

Last week we were Skyping with our cousin Wilson and he showed us his paintings he had done. Since it has been very rainy we decided to paint too.

I was going to get him a big old t shirt but then I realized he only has small old t shirts. So we used our home depot apron.


Look there! "Big Boy Pants" Brycen decided last week he wanted to wear underware. He is doing pretty good. A few accidents but enjoying being a big boy!

Brad and I had our five year anniversary. Seems like we just got married. We enjoyed dinner out at Mr. B's in Rogers and some bowling!

Family Branson Trip- Don't have many pictures because my camera is no good (got a new one today though).

Riding the train with Daddy.

Giving the train robber money!

We are loving doing fun things with Brycen this summer. Can't believe he is so big! He loves playing golf, driving his big truck, playing with his friends and cousin Landon, and TALKING!!!
