She keeps on SMILING!!!

Poor little Brycie...her little teeth are all just trying to come in. She has been biting on her tongue all day, it's very funny to see. But she is being a trooper and keeps on SMILING!!!

Love these days...

Bryce and I really enjoy the rainy days. We plan on being cozy and getting things done around the house. But on special rainy days, Alan stays home too. Today was one of those days, Alan stayed home and we got stuff done around the house. Then we spent the afternoon at Victoria Gardens. I love these days so much.

This afternoon, Alan was on the phone in the backyard and Bryce thought it was so great that he was standing on this big rock. Well, now she wants to climb the big rock. Our little fearless one.

Getting into everything...

Today it seemed that each time I picked up one room, and started on the next. I had to go back to the first room. Bryce was into everything today...she is such a busy little bee. I am glad that she is so adventurous and curious.

When I get one of these smiles, I don't care how big the mess she has made.

Future Golfer?

Do we have a future golfer? Maybe or maybe not, no matter Bryce had a blast today playing with this little golf bag and clubs. When I showed her how to hit the ball she laughed and laughed. Then Alan showed her how to "wack the ball". That is all that it took, she is hitting the ball everywhere. It may not be the perfect form or even close to where she is aiming but, she is trying. It is so fun to show her new things and have her be so interested in them.

What a Wonderful Day!!!

The Cousins- Austin, Ethan, Greysen, Evan, Bryce and Charlotte

Charlotte, the Birthday Girl

Charlotte and Bryce...the girls!!!

Today was such a great day!!! Bryce was so happy to finally be able to play with all her cousins. With all the sickness and germs going around someone has always been sick lately. But today, made up for it as all the kids were all together for Charlotte's 1st Birthday breakfast. What a great celebration it was for all.

Another of her favorite things...

One year ago today this was our little boogaboo

That would be her lap time with Daddy. I know for a fact that Alan enjoys this time too. It is one of the only times that she is still and he get in some good "cuddle time".

One of her favorite things...

What is it about a warm cozy bath at the end of the day? There is just something about it that makes it the perfect way to end the day.

That is one of Bryce's favorite things.

Happy 1st Birthday Charlotte!!!

We LOVE You!

Rocka Rocka

There is something so sweet about a little one in a rocking chair singing away. I love watching these moments.

Her First Shinner

There is nothing more sad than to see your child get hurt. Last night we got home late and Bryce was very tired. Well she fell into her toy box. OUCH!!!

When we put her to bed last night she looked fine. Well, this morning this is what she looked like. OUCH!!!!

Bryce is 13 months old today. This month had flown by so quickly.

The Bowling Alley

Bryce's nap ended and we jumped in the car tonight. We went to cheer Alan on at the bowling alley. She is not all the way awake here. But you just give her a minute and she is off.....everywhere.



Bryce has to check out all the balls. She wants to pick them all up. Believe me she tries.



There goes Daddy!!!

Bryce loves to hang out with Jacob.

Father like daughter...looking so serious. I think that they were both just taking notes on bowling.

New Wagon

Grandma Midge came over for a visit today. Bryce loved playing ball and showing her where all the good rocks where.

Alan and Bryce had a lot of fun looking in the trees today. They were trying to find out where the big lizards were hiding. We all had fun watching them running around in the planters and Bryce trying to keep up with them was rather funny too.

There is something so special about a sparkling new Red wagon. Today, while I was buying diapers and wipes I came across this wagon. Bryce was not with me, but I knew that she was saying she wanted it. LOL!!! So I put it on the front porch and when she wanted to go outside...there it was. She loves it so much. The funny thing is that she doesn't pull the wagon, she pushes it. We had a few flowers get run over with it, but I don't mind. My little one was happy and having a good time.

Old Lady Hair and Red Cheeks

Looks like someone had a lot of fun in the sun today. Look at those cheeks...I even had sunblock on her. I better get prepared for the hot summer days ahead.

Someone please find this little one her comb. HA HA!!!

Rocks

I am so happy that I have a little one that loves the outdoors as much as I do. With these warm and beautiful days lately we have been really spoiled.

This afternoon as we were playing in the yard, she found a very big rock and the rock was serenaded too. It was very cute. There was no way that she was going to put that rock down either to play ball.

This morning Bryce found rocks in her car that she had found outside yesterday. She wanted outside immediately in her sleeper and all to put them back. That was not a happy conversations...since it was to early and cold to be outside. The tears flowed.

Another Beautiful Day!!!

Check out those dirty pants...we have a girl who likes to play in the dirt already. It's only just begun.

This afternoon she was playing in the backyard and was looking at my flowers. She then pulled one off, this blank little look came across her face as she looked at me. Then she tried to stick the flower back on. Too cute, she wanted to fix it.

Bryce was very tired today from being so busy yesterday, but that didn't really slow her down much.

Happy Valentine's Day

What a wonderful day this has been. It all started with Bryce receiving some very special Valentine's from her Daddy. Then of course she wanted outside so, that is how our day was spent. We went to Victoria Gardens for the day and let the little Princess walk everywhere. She loved the freedom and the beautiful day. You would have thought that after about 4 hours of walking around she would be tired and just want to take a nap. Not this little outdoor girl, she wanted to play outside when we got home too. Energizer Brycie Bear!!!

Tonight you could tell that she had walked a lot because she was more clumsy than normal. But she was SO HAPPY. She was singing all over the house tonight. That is the greatest sound...her little dainty voice making music.

The way to melt Daddy's heart

Tonight Bryce and I melted Alan's heart. We were at the store and we bought Alan a single Red rose that was as big as she was. When we got home I sent Bryce in the house with the big box and told her to give it to Daddy. As she walked in the house and walked straight to Alan..I heard ..."oh, is that for Dadda". It was so special!!! Alan loved his early Valentine's Day rose.

So hard to explain...

It is so hard to explain to this little outdoor girl that she can't go outside when it is raining. I think that Alan and I both hurt her little feelings several times yesterday and today. Bryce is so eager to go outside everyday, but when the weather is not cooperating...well then there are tears. Today when there was a break between rain drops, I bundled her up and took her outside. Let's just say, there was BIG SMILES and muddy white shoes. I love watching her explore even with the drool. Gotta love it!!!
