A new discovery

This is what I came in the room to see,
And this is what I saw when I went to get little man from his nap this morning.



It's a good thing we finally got around to lowering his crib down. He is such a mover, and I don't think he is slowing down anytime soon.

Love is in the air...

Major picture overload here. I keep putting off taking pictures of my kids, but I was motivated when I got a new backdrop and wanted to try it out. So here are some 6 month pics of Bryson at 7 months.




Cutest bum ever!




And the Landy man. Wow he was a stinker. He was giving me some major attitude. Two year olds.
Example of his attitude.
No smiles, but still a cutie.
And, my little 4 year old. Looking so grown up.

Amazingly a shot of all of them looking at me!
And you know you are done when you gets shots like these.

I took some super cute pics of my cousins little boy last week. Such a cutie! You can see them here.

After Christmas fun

I got to go to Breakfast with some of my favorite people! My girlfriends from high school! Some I have not seen in way too long, others I have seen more recently, but it was so nice to sit and chat. We missed you Jess, Tal, and Car.
We celebrated Christmas a little late in Idaho with Kenny's fam. Bryson is now officially in the family since he has his stocking.

Landon got a horsey stable, perfect for all his horsies.And just last week we finally played outside. We built a pretty cute snowman. (After this picture, Jackson just wanted to shoot it with his water gun...boys)

Seriously??

Has everyone heard of this?


This is unbelievable! I can't imagine how many people will go out of business. And this will effect so many families that rely on second hand stuff.

All the Christmas stuff...

I figure I better get some of this posted before it's Christmas 2009. One of the things we wanted to do this year was stay home for Christmas, and this we did. Although, even if we wanted to go somewhere, the weather Probably would have stopped us. Actually, it did stop us from going to Idaho the day after Christmas. So now we get to stretch Christmas into this weekend while we celebrate with Kenny's family.
My parents and my brother and his family came down Christmas Eve to our house. The kids got spoiled by Grandma and Grandpa. And the Aquadoodle from Austin and Savanna was a huge hit.

Buddies. Yes they may fight sometiems, but I have a feeling these two will be buddies for a long time.
Bryson slept through most of the party, but when he woke up he really enjoyed the ribbons. (notice the death grip)
The older boys got snow clothes, but since Landon is the victim of hand-me-downs, he got a new helmet instead. He was so excited.
Grandma got them all matching pj's. Savanna really stands out in this picture doesn't she?
Christmas morning Santa definately found us. Jackson got something a little extra this year. He woke up at 2:30 coughing, throwing up, and fevering. He hardly ever gets sick, and it was a complete bummer to be sick on Christmas. We had to practically force him to be excited about presents. So for the next three days he was fevering off and on and had completely lost his voice. (it was really quiet around here)

Bryson was in awe watching his brothers tear open packages.
Jackson and his loot.
Bryson got a few things too.
Landon hit the jackpot.

And the aftermath.
Kenny got me ones of these puppies
A speedlight for my camera. Yeah!! Of course now I have to learn how to use it.

And Kenny and I got one of these from Santa
I haven't seen much of it, as Kenny has been filling it up with songs, pictures, and video, but I hope to be able to use it at some point.

Bryson got an extra Christmas present too, a couple days ago his huge lump in his mouth finally turned into a tooth! Of course the next lump is growing so I have a feeling his screaming nights will continue.
I hope you all had a fabulous one and that you enjoyed time with your families.

Merry Christmas!!

Hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! I love this time of year when we get together with family and remember the importance of having Christ in our lives. (And the food ain't so bad either.)

6 months

Bryson was officially 6 months last Wednesday,  but we finally made it to the doctor today.  Here's the stats

Weight- 16 lbs. 1 oz (18%)

Height -26 inch (25%)

Head-17 1/2 in (66%) ( I think we may have another big headed child)

He got three shots, which he handled very well.  So far I don't think it has affected him much, he's as happy as ever.  

Amazingly he has slept through the night the last three nights!  Hallelujah!!  Hoping he continues the trend and doesn't go back to his old ways.  

So far, no teeth.

He smiles at anyone that looks at him, and he loves to laugh at his brothers.

He loves his food.

He can sit for a very brief moment by himself, but he would rather be doing this...  

One of the nice things about the kids is that only two of them move.  One more to chase around?

Let's hope he just sticks to the rocking for awhile.

It's bizarre how fast it seems he is growing.  He is so much fun, and we can't wait to celebrate the holiday's with one more added to our family.
