Rodeo Day

Bryce's school had Rodeo day. It was so cute seeing all those kids wearing boots and cowboy hats. Here are a few pics I took that morning.

Bryce said he had so much fun "being a cowboy."

Dr. Seuss' Birthday

I realize Dr. Seuss' bday was March 2, but I am just now getting around to blogging again...terrible blogger...

I love love love Dr. Seuss' books. There are so many lessons to learn from them. And I love love love that Bryce is getting to the age that he can (and wants to) do so many projects/activities that correlate with Dr. Seuss. We didn't get to do near as many activities as I had planned, and I forgot to take pics of some of them, but here are a few.

Bryce made a "Cat in the Hat" hat

We spelled cat, and then changed the first letter so now he knows how to spell so many more words, thanks to rhyming. :)

I made a Cat in the Hat grilled cheese sandwich for lunch. Bryce was so excited about this!

We also read "One Fish, Two Fish, Red Fish, Blue Fish" then graphed some rainbow goldfish to see of which color we had the most. Then we made patterns with them. Then we ate them. :)

I wanted to read "The Foot Book" and make foot prints, but we ran out of time. I still plan to do this soon.

I hope you all had a great Dr. Seuss day, too. I am sure you already posted your pics. :)

Catch Up

It has been a while since I have blogged. I am not so good at this...trying to get better...

Here are a LOT of random pictures we have taken lately.

I love this silhouette type pic of my boys looking out at the rainy day.

Cheese!!

Bryce loves "Ice Age Dinosaurs"

Peek-A-Boo

Bryce can write his name :) Way to go, Buddy!!

Watch out!!

Why are boxes more fun than what is inside??

Jayden loves the cozy coup (thanks MeMa and PaPa)

Valentine pancakes

Bryan brought snow back from Abilene (his truck bed was full)

I love my boys!!

I QUIT!!!

That's right, people. I quit my biggest addiction. This is HUGE for me! I live on these things. This is what I rely on to get me through the day. However, I know this love is not the healthiest for me, and am pretty sure I will feel better once I get adjusted to their absence. I do not intend to depart from it forever, however, I will be leaving it behind for about 3 months, and after that, will hopefully be cutting it down to once a week (instead of my regular one or two a day). I need to get in shape for Megan's wedding, which is May 21. This also means I am trying to work out. Ugh.

I have been off Dr. Peppers for 8 days now. Yay me!! Please pray this continues!!

"Don't Bite Off More Than You Can Chew"

I love this boy so much. He is growing up way too fast!! He was laughing so hard yesterday that I noticed something white further back in his mouth. So, of course I stuck my finger in there and felt a MOLAR!! I kept feeling around, and he has THREE molars growing in. That's right, his 2 year molars. The boy is only 15 months old. This explains a lot of curiosities of his behavior I have had lately. :)

The Next Batman

Bryce: "Mommy, when I grow big and strong, I want to be batman."

Me: "Okay."

Bryce: (looking up to the sky) "God, when I grow up, can I be batman?"

(looking back to me) "He said yes."

He's got some great goals, and he knows who to call upon for help with those goals. :)

Bryce's 4th Birthday

Today, my precious boy turned four. I love this little man so so much.

As requested by the birthday boy, we had a dinosaur and blue birthday party. It was a blast! The kids had so much fun!! We had a dinosaur egg hunt, a dino dig, dino coloring pages, dino tattoos, dino books, pin the horn on triceratops (which we never got to), and I tried my best to incorporate blue in as many places as possible. Here are a few pics from the party. Sorry for the pic overload. If I knew how to do those collages, I would.
