Kiss and Tell

I love when Corsen is in his lovey dovey mood. It is not that often because he is so busy playing and into EVERYTHING. I love his sweet mouth wide open kisses! He even says UMMMMMA when giving out kisses. It melts my heart! My favorite pic is with Bryce in the background puckered up too! LOL!

4 wheeling

We went to the Ranch in Roaring Springs last weekend. The kids had a blast. Bryce learned to ride the 4 wheeler all by his self. He was so proud. He rode it around and around the house. When he got behind the house where we could not see him he would gas it. We could hear the engine rev up. We asked him if he went faster when he was behind the house he admitted he did just a little bit. He is definitely all boy! Corsen stood and waved at Bryce as he drove by.

Christmas Time

Christmas time is here! Our tree is up and the fireplace and living room decorated with white lights. The boys rooms are decorated too. Corsen's room has Christmas balls hanging from the ceiling above his crib. He loves his shimmering silver tree and Santa Claus' all around his room. Bryce has Christmas balls hanging above his bed. His favorite is the giant snowman snow globe. We really went all out decorating this year, thanks to Sue's help.


Every night there is a Christmas show on TV. I love watching these with Bryce. I remember watching these as a kid. From Rudolph to Frosty to Charlie Brown Christmas the memories of the excitement of Christmas return like it did when I was little. Bryce looks forward every day to a new Christmas program. I love the excitement in his eyes and his curiosity of Santa. However, it is important to me that he knows the true reason for the season. He loves the story of the birth of baby Jesus. He asks me daily, "When is it going to be Christmas and Jesus' birthday?".


I look forward to the morning we open gifts from Santa. Bryce goes crazy riping paper! Corsen will be doing the same. He has quite the little attitude! When Bryce gets in trouble and he sent to his room Corsen is right on his heels pointing his little finger at Bryce blabbing and saying
"NO NO!". He thinks he runs the house these days.

On the Road to Recovery

I have been off work this whole week. Last Friday I left work early not feeling well. I went to the doctor and was told I had a virus. On Tuesday I felt worse. I was short of breath with the littlest activity and had difficulty breathing. I went back to the doctor and got a chest xray. And lo and behold there was the problem I had a huge right sided pneumonia! I was given a Rocephin shot and new round a antibiotics. I am starting to feel better. Everyday I am gaining more energy. I look forward to going back to work on Monday. I really missed work and the kids. You know you are in the right job when you actually miss it!

Trick or Treat

Trick or Treat! The boys had a blast this Halloween. The Hill family came over and we trick or treated in our neighborhood. Bryce was a Pirate and Corsen a Bumble Bee. Corsen loved wearing his costume. When we got home he did not want to take it off.

Fall is here! Seth and I took the boys to the Maize. They enjoyed seeing the animals and walking around the pond. Our adventure was cut short because I was stung on the neck by some unknown flying insect. I was disappointed that we didn't get to go on the hayride.

Bryce's 5th Birthday

October 14th was Bryce's birthday. I can't believe he is five! I pick him up from day care early that day. We went to the bakery to pick out his cake. On the way in the car I was telling him how big he was getting and I said, "You are getting so old it kinda makes me sad that you are growing up so fast". He replied, "I'm getting old! Who's Grandpa am I going to be!"

We celebrated Bryce's birthday at Ready Set Go with friends and family.

Dear Bryce,

I can't believe you are FIVE! WOW! How time flies. You will start kindergarten next year. I really look forward to being at the same school with you. You make me proud every single day. I love your tender heart and caring soul. It is evident everyday! You are such a great big brother- you are so protective of your "little baby", Corsen. I love watching you play with him. You are always trying to teach him something new and when you do you are so proud. I love your giggles and seeing your eyes light up over the simple things in life. It really keeps me grounded and thankful for the small stuff. You are definitely a Mama's boy. I love our "dates" and snuggle time. I love when you tell me that when you get big like Daddy that you want to dance with me in a castle. It melts my heart. I love you more than words can describe. You will always be my first baby boy!


I love you,
Momma
