Loading Day!!!

Today, is loading day for Steven, Becky, Ethan and Evan. No one likes this part about moving for sure, but we are all pitching in doing what we can.

Evan loves all the company

Bryce playing with a truck in the middle of all the boxes.

Uncle Stevie and Alan loading up the truck.

I just want you to know that we all held our breath as Steven backed this very large truck up his very narrow and small driveway. There is no room to spare, and I am not joking. I can't believe that he even got it up there. He does admit bumping the wall a few times.

See what I mean....no room to spare. Good job Stevie and great navigation Papa Jack.

Sunburn

Look how serious Bryce is today as well as sunburned. Way to go Mom!!! I am sure that when she wakes from her nap she will be her funny little self- I hope.

Evan's Party

We celebrated Evan's "1st" Birthday together today in the park. We wanted to make sure we could do this before they move next week. It was a wonderful time had by all. Evan will officially be "1" on September 9th.

Happy Birthday Evan!!!

Cousins

"Man-boy"...Austin. Oh so handsome.
Time together with Grandma

Sharing watermelon together...so sweet.

Brothers

Dig in Evan

Cousins
Daddy can you take me on the slide?

Summer Cold

I am being very THANKFUL today. Not THANKFUL that Bryce has a miserable cold, but that she has in now and not next week. We are leaving on Thursday for a almost 3 week vacation. We are so excited.

I pray that this will be a short cold and that Bryce is well very soon.

Look at those droopy eyes.

Eating Kiwi and Turkey dogs, sort of.

She is the Master of the Utensils. Good job, Boo boo!!!

Thursdays

Around our house, Thursday is the day that the gardener comes. Bryce loves to run into the living room, climb up on the couch and watch all that is going on the second that she hears them. There defiantly is not a lack of curiosity in this little one. She loves watching what each gardener is doing and all the different tools that they use. The only thing that she is really not fond of is when the cutters hit the metal gate in the courtyard. I don't blame her it is a really loud weird sound. Can you tell that it is nap time?

Oh, there is that sound!

I love this picture, but I love them all. After 19 months I have not missed a day capturing all the fun of this wonderful blessing. As of today, I have taken 9542 pictures, they are not all of Bryce, but I am sure they are mostly of her. Gotta love it!!!

The PROUD New Owner of a pair of purple Crocs and a skinned knee.~~~On a fun note, 12 years ago tonight as Alan slipped a ring on my finger (It was our 6 month Anniversary of dating), he said that he bought the wrong ring, he said he should have bought me an engagment ring. We always call this our Happy, Happy Day. We were officially engaged 12 weeks later.

Bear

Today, I thought that I would try and turn a video on for Bryce. She is really not a T.V. watcher, or maybe I should say not at all. But I brought out "Bear in the Big Blue House" and thought that I would see what would happen. Let's just say, she would rather love on the stuffed animal than watch the movie. I know that is such a great thing, but I do think that it is funny that she doesn't want to watch T.V.

Love, love, for Bear

Looking at the book, "People that love me"

Don't you wish that you were this cute waking up from a nap?

Frosted Flakes

Yesterday, after all the fun of running around with her cousins, Bryce crashed. I took this picture right before I woke her for dinner. It was 6:00 and little did she know that Ethan and Evan were here for dinner and fun.

Bryce decided that Uncle Stevie's tummy was the perfect place to jump on.
The Bald Boys!!!

There is always time for wrestling and tummy zerberts.

Come on Evan...let's go to my room

The Churchill Boys!!!

When Grandpa Ken visits we always make sure that there is a box of Frosted Flakes (because they are GRRReat) in the house. Before Grandpa had to get on the plane early this morning, Bryce decided that she wanted to have some Frosted Flakes too. I said as I poured a few in a bowl,"she is not going to like theses". Grandpa and Bryce then took seats on the couch. Bryce took one flake and put it on her tongue and said "Blah, blah"! We all had a chuckle about that. I knew she wasn't going to eat them, no sugar for this little one.

After we kissed Grandpa goodbye, Bryce went back to the bowl of flakes still sitting on the couch. She put one in her mouth and came to me with her tongue sticking out. A mother's job is never done, she wanted me to get the flake of her tongue. Silly little girl!
