SAINTS WIN THE SUPERBOWL!!

This was HUGE around our house!! I almost thought Tim was going to fall over dead!

Here are some new pictures from the last couple of days! Not a whole lot new to report around here, we did get a new sofa though and we are pretty excited about it!! Nothing fancy and will hopefully stand up for a couple of years!! But it is pretty comfy!!

This is Bryces new fav thing to do, drag a laundry basket around the house, he just goes up and down the halls!!

All of us after the SAINTS win the championship game 2 weeks ago!

Mini Drew Brees playing hockey! Bryce actually loves this hockey game, he whines until we go into the garage to play with it!

Our new sofa!!

A good looking boy!

If you watch the show "Family Guy" you will know what I am talking about here. In this picture Bryce looks just like the evil monkey in Chris closet! There is a picture below of the monkey for comparison! Of course Bryce is much cuter, but you cant help but see the similarities!

All tattooed and ready for the SuperBowl!!

Bryce is ready too!!

Merry Christmas and A Wedding!!

I am just now getting to put up pictures from Christmas and my great friend Jeanennes wedding!! I am slacking!! Santa came to see Bryce and he was good to him!! We stayed here in Corpus for Christmas and went to Harlingen for New Years and Jeanennes wedding. It was an absolutely beautiful wedding! Jeanenne if you are reading this, you did an amazing job!!

These pictures are in no particular order!! There are a lot!!

Santa!

We took Bryce to see Santa today with dreams of him sitting in Santas lap and talking to him and getting great pictures... We were wrong! We finally got our turn to see Santa put Bryce in his lap and Bryce looked at him and just screamed bloody murder! He wasn't having any of it, so we decided to get in the picture, Tim held him and I got to see in Santas lap (poor Santa)! Things worked out for the best and we did get a great picture!!

1 Year Old Tomorrow!!

1 year ago today was the absolute longest day of my entire life!!

I knew exactly what was going to happen the next day... my son was going to be born!

After spending last November 23 shopping and walking around trying to calm my nerves, we ate at On The Border restaurant (not the best choice by the way for someone who is 9 months pregnant FYI!) We came home and everyone went to sleep but me, I did not sleep for more than 1 hour total. I knew I couldn't eat after midnight, so i stuffed myself with more food and soda, then had the WORST case of heartburn ever and was still suffering from a horrible cold and could not breathe through my nose! It was the most miserable I have ever been in my entire life!! I cried on my way to work just thinking about this day, I knew my life was going to change big time and for the better, but I had a lot of fears of 1. major abdominal surgery while being awake 2. actually having a child and wondering if I was going to be a good mom!

I spent 9 months dreaming of what Bryce looked like, what his personality was going to be like and what if was going to feel like to hold him in my arms finally and I KNEW I was going to get to do it tomorrow!

He is everything I ever dreamed of and more!!

I will post birthday boy pictures tomorrow!!

New Pictures!!

So he has started walking last night!! As you can see by the video above!! Now he thinks he is big stuff!! Here are some pictures from the last couple of days!!

He took a ride in the wagon down to the boat dock down the road from us!

As you can see, he is very relaxed and enjoying the view!!
This is the classic "UhOh... You caught me!" look...
Yummy mac n cheese for lunch saturday!
He was picking out what clothes I should wear.
He loves to help with laundry!
Very helpful!

Pumpkin Patch!!

We visited the local pumpkin patch today with Marley, Ashley and Grammy Linda! Bryce was not to sure about the pumpkins, but he did love the straw and grass!

We were trying to pose him at their picture area, but he just wanted to play with the straw!
Not sure about that pumpkin!
We are warming up to them!

He is done with those darn pumpkins... give him some dirt!

11 Months Old!!

This boy is growing up way too fast! I know that I say that every month, but it is so true! He is standing on his own very well. He is trying to take his first steps, but when he tries to step out, he falls. So I'm sure it wont be much longer! I am excited but scared at the same time!

He now refuses to eat with a spoon or let anyone else feed him. He HAS to feed himself... which is limiting our options, but we are learning!! Any ideas anyone? Oh such an independent boy!

So here are just some pictures from recently! Enjoy!



It was a beautiful day out so I opened the dining room windows and he could stand there looking outside for hours! He loves it!
He has finally caught Pumpkin. I am not sure how Pumpkin feels about this, but she just lays there while he tortures her. I do intervene, but this one time I had to get a picture!

Such a handsome 11 month old! He has the same problem that I do... he closes his eyes for most pictures... Sorry Bryce.

Big man holding daddys hand!

Our unofficial photo shoot!

Cartoons were on behind me... I was blocking "Special Agent Oso". He was not happy.

Taking a break!!

He has discovered door knobs.

Standing alone!

What a big boy!

Giving the baby in the mirror kisses!

He loves that baby in the mirror!

Getting himself a snack.

This is his new jungle gym... the end table.

And he is learning to climb...

I am way in over my head!! But I love every second of it!!!!!!
