Traveling

Well I would say that Bryce has stayed in a few hotels. Brian travels a decent amount, which allows for shopping trips and fun in Birmingham. We normally stay at the Embassy and he remembers more than we thought. For example when we traveled for Easter we drove most of the way the night before and stayed at a guard base, still a suite...The point being that when he woke up in the morning. He asked if we could please go down stairs and eat cheesy eggs and waffles. Yeah the AF doesn't play that game...sure would be nice if they did though.

Just stayed at a non Embassy...Momma why don't they have a round and round door.....Momma why don't I have my own room......Momma why not have cheesy eggs....He cracks us up. He was so excited to swim in the pool that he was up waaaay late, 10:30. Then we forgot to turn the air down, he woke up at 3:00am freezing, got in bed with us, up at 6:00...lets go get cheesy eggs. We rolled over and said no it was too early. Momma my belly soooo hungry. So at 6:00am he ate some green beans and pears then laid back down for another hour of sleep. Who eats green beans at 6:00am..that would be Bryce...Needless to say he slept the whole way home and didn't get up until 8:45 this morning....AHHH a good nights sleep. :)

I hear why A LOT during my day. Followed by this smile...so it is all good.

Could I be any further behind!

Yes I could :) I did however catch up on 2 yrs of pictures  by creating two 100pg photos books. So I do feel pretty good about that.
Bryce is talking up a storm and always makes us laugh. He definately has an opinion and will let you know. He loves to play outside, hits a mean t-ball, likes to sing and reads lots of books. He still loves almost any food you put in front of him, but prefers to pick out what he would like for breakfast and lunch. Saturdays he normally wants to make waffles or pancakes with Daddy and has added cream to dip his bites in. Sleep is still important and he has been known to ask to go to sleep. Or at night to ask us to stop cleaning up from dinner bc he wants a bath and to go to bed.
Chores are his favorite, which is helpful! I think the laundry shoot is his favorite and so far he hasn't tried to jump down there. Water chores outside normally require a bathing suit, but the flowers are well watered and car washing is super fun.

My handsome boys!

Shopping Trip

Funny things that just need to be documented. Last week Bryce and I went to Tuscaloosa for the day with friends....you know we have to drive a whole hour just to get my Target fix. I still wouldn't say Bryce is potty trained, but he does pretty well. Which means after a whole day of being out we may have spent half of it in public restrooms, GROSS! We hit Targets 3 times before we even left. The funny story is the first potty trip of the day. Bryce went and all was well. Then I had to go and the conversation started like this, actually it wasn't a conversation as much as Bryce just talking and talking and me trying really hard not to laugh and think boy I bet someone is getting a kick out of this conversation.
B "Momma pee out of her penis"
K "No Momma doesn't have a penis" he proceeds to bend over and look, "Oh it come out of your bottom"
We shopped with two active 2 yr old boys. As we drove past Chick Fil A in the morning Bryce spotted the indoor play area. So we continued all day (two whole stores) and we will go to the slide. Which helped their mood. There was a lot of "need a break from being strapped in Momma, just a little break, please?" Spent close to 3 hrs in Target alone, then hit TJ Max, before we went to Chick Fil A. I am not sure what we were thinking, but the Momma's were hungry the boys not so much. They ate in every store the entire time. So after a spilled full cup of coke all over the floor by 1 boy the other boy (Bryce) didn't hesitate in knocking over a vase filled with water on top of the spilled coke. So very soon we took both boys to play while one Mommy had a peaceful lunch and then switched places. Everyone was much happier and before we pulled out of town they were both asleep. Good Times....

Oh he also had his first sip of Starbucks, not on purpose, I didn't think he could reach it....he said MMMM Momma's coffee good as it dribbled down his chin.

Last night he wore his dinner. When this kid is hungry he needs food ASAP. I had his plate ready I was just getting his milk. When I turned around to fill his milk he was coloring at the table. I turned around again and he was grabbing his plate. Which ended up being half of his bowl of Gumbo, the plate stayed the bowl went flying, landing straight up. Gumbo on his head, shoulder, back, and pants, it was great....if I wouldn't have been trying so hard not to be upset and stepping in all of the mess I would have taken a picture :)

Snow in MS!

Still behind...I will get Christmas up here soon....Bryce got to play in the snow and things around here were shut down for 2 days.....for very little snow...but it was fun. We don't exactly have snow gear for the kid, but he was good to go for 2 hrs and I made him go inside so we could have lunch. He was pretty wet when we came inside , but loved every minute of the morning.

Throwing snowballs from his snow fort....

The snowman family....with lots of grass and extra arms :) He was sad that they didn't talk like Frosty though....

Helping Daddy roll the snowman...


Then off to make sugar cookies....it wasn't messy at all....
