Fall Carnival

On Tuesday, Brad got Brycen dressed in his UPS man costume and brought him to the Circle of Friends Fall Carnival I was working at.

Brycen playing his first carnival game: Get the prize from the nose?? Looks like fun!

Brycen was told to take the pennies and throw them in the bucket to win a prize. The girl gives him the pennies and he walks up and puts them in the bucket... sounded like a winner to him!

Pin the tail on the cat! Brycen pretended to close his eyes. It was cute to watch him play these games.

Special Moment

A few weeks ago I had the opportunity to see Brycen's name on the Tribute wall at Arkansas Children's Hospital. I am so proud that his story has helped raise money for an amazing place. I hope and pray his story continues to help ACH. We thank God for them every day!

Dates with Mommy

Brycen and I have had many dates this fall. His age is so fun! While Brad has gone to ref, we have made lots of memories.

Brycen Loves Trains! If we see one, we ride it!

Look at that FACE!! He is so excited. He will play trains for hours in his room. He always ask to go to Silver Dollar City to ride the train.

Playing at the mall

We went to First Friday in Bentonville with Aunt Laney and Landon

Riding the train with Landon. We let them go alone. when the train came back, Brycen was hanging out the window and Landon was laying down. Maybe we will ride with them next time.

One of Brycen's favorite things about when Daddy is gone- Using mommy's bath tub. It is much more fun!

I love hanging out with this little man!

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!

Hanging out on the windy back deck

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.
