We're Back!

Well, you probably know that our computer died on us unexpectedly a few weeks ago, but thanks to my cousins in Austin, I was atleast able to get ALL of my pictures and videos from the hard drive, which was all that I wanted! Lesson learned, keep up with your back ups!! I need to find a more efficient way of doing it because all that I had been doing was copying pictures to cds and it took forever and I only had up until maybe Christmas backed up. I was soooo heartbroken to think that I may lose so many precious pictures and videos, but things worked out!!

So we used birthday money, saved money and a lot of research and bought a new computer to get on with our bad computer habit and we can share our lives again!

Here are some recent pictures!
Oh how great it would be to relax like this!!

At the Hooks baseball game!

Watching the game!

He fell asleep eating mac n cheese on day!

Lounging in bed!

18 Months Old!!

It amazes me how much can happen in 18 months!!
Bryce shocks me every day with something new that he does. He loves to blow kisses and wave bye bye, loves to wear my flip flops around the house, tortures beaker and the cats, has an endless amount of energy! We did have to put a lock on the refrigerator because he was opening it up an bringing things to us. I'm just hoping he didnt hide anything!

Here is a little time line!!

1 Day Old!

6 Months Old!

1 Year Old!

Today!

16 Months Old!

Time sure does fly! Bryce is becoming a little man right before our eyes!! Every day he surprises me with something new!

Of course he has been walking since 11 months old, but he can run faster than I can now, does not want to be carried anywhere, unless he just really wants to be held!

Our newest and scariest adventure is him climbing everything. He has to stand on every chair or table he sees. He isn't happy unless he is at the top! What amazes me is how he get to the places he does, he is so smart to figure out how to get places he wants to go!

He also wants to feed himself with a spoon or fork now, which is so fun to see, but not so fun to clean up! Thank goodness for Beaker the cleanup crew!

We are still lagging in the speech department, of course 'mama' 'dada', Beaker is 'Dough' most things are 'doo' and his FAVORITE word is "UH - OH!!" That is so cute!

He loves blowing kisses and puckering up for kisses, but only when he is in the mood!

Mickey Mouse Clubhouse is our new favorite show, Little Einsteins is still up there, but when Mickey is on, nothing else can happen!!

We went to Harlingen to see my mom and family this last weekend and went to the big stock show down there and Troys new hunting lease! Bryce loved every minute of being outside!

Sitting at the hunting lease!

So excited to play in the dirt and grass!

Enough with the pictures already!

Grandma and Uncle Troy with the big boy!

Apparently the Tent can't hold him in!

Running around outside!

He loved the petting zoo

He ran from animal to animal to pet them all

Apparently Tim and I need to buy a lot of land with lots of animals for Bryce!

He wanted in with the goats

He got to feed one of my friends goats

"Mom, can I have one of those!?"

Time For Beach Fun!!

The weather around here has actually been very pleasant lately, so we decided to go camping down the National Seashore a couple of weekends ago! Bryce had so much fun! He loves the sand and water and just being outside.

Now I love camping, but in the mountains... not so much the beach. But it was a fun family activity where there were not a whole lot of distractions!

Here are some pictures from the trip and then some pictures from just some goofing around the house the week before!

A great dad and son moment!

Tim getting ready to catch the big one!

He loved looking for seashells.

So happy to be outside!

This is a scary sight!!

I'm not sure I'm ready for this milestone yet!

Hanging in the lounge chair

Going to dig a hole

Taking a snack break

He wanted to fish like dad

He wanted my clips in his hair, I promise you!

He loved it!

ROAR!!

Bryce loves to sit in his big boy chair and watch Mickey Mouse Future hockey star

More family fun time!!

Happy Valentines Day!

We had a great Valentines weekend! Saturday Tim and I went to a local Bar and Grill for a romantic dinner of chips and salsa and then a hockey game!! It was nice getting to spend that time together doing something we enjoy!

Although he did get me a day of a massage and mani / pedi at a local spa!!! I am really excited! It has been so long since I have been pampered like that! I cant wait for it!

Then on Sunday, we went to a friends house for the Daytona 500 and a BBQ! Bryce made a new friend, who is 5 years old. He followed this boy all around all afternoon long! It was so cute!!


He is getting way too big!!

He thinks he can pull the ice chest!

"Let Me In!!!!"

They're not exactly sure how to play together

Our romantic dinner!

We are still cute!

By the way, the Jersey I wear was my valentines day present 3 years ago!!

I hope everyone had as great of a weekend as we did!!
