Bryson's Open House

Bryson had his little Open House last week and they were little cowboys and cowgirls in their performance... oh my cuteness!! They were directed by 'yours truly' and I couldn't have been more proud!
How cute is this little cowboy?
Here is a video of one of their songs... so precious! And I might mention that he told me his hat was really itchy... as you can see here! :o)

YEEEE-HAW!

Thursday was Rodeo day at our preschool. The kids got to make trail mix, have cotton candy, dig for gold, pet a live horse, shoot “rattle snakes” rope a steer, and lots more… Bryson had a ball! When I asked him what his favorite thing was, his eyes got really big and he said, “COTTON CANDY!!” But he really liked the live horse, too! :o)

This one's for Uncle Jo-do

I have some pictures and stories to tell about family retreat this weekend, but that is going to take too much time and energy right now... and I am pooped! It was a great weekend... a few minor injuries, but great overall... So more on that to come, but for now, I started this post a while back and never did finish it...




People are always telling me how much Coby reminds then of Jordan (my youngest brother), so I thought it would be fun to post some pictures of them side by side... and I discovered that Bryson really favors him, too... take a look...

We really wanted some glasses like this, but they were out of stock! :o) I just really posted this one of Jordan bc is was too cute not to! He was 2 years old here!

Bryson's Birthday!

Sweet Bry -
I cant believe that my baby is 2 years old today. You are such a joy to our family. You have a spunk and a love for life that makes everyone smile. You do nothing timidly... you jump in there and go for it in everything you do. You are my little firecracker and you always know exactly what you want. You let the boys all pick on you and you copy everything they say and do... you think you are just as big as they are! You have the easiest smile and the most contagious giggle. You have brought us all so much joy in the last 2 years, and we look forward to watching you grow for many more to come!
We love you, Bry! Happy 2nd Birthday!
Here is my little peanut in the NICU. He has come a long way from that 5 lb premie!
1 year old

Bryson and Micah celebrated their birthdays together this year. Bry had a Curious George birthday party and Micah's was a camo theme... it was loads of fun!


We celebrated as a family on his actual "birthday." Here he is with his cupcake. He actually got his first haircut between celebrations! That is how far behind I am on blogging!! :o)

Barfapalooza & a Fun Farm

I know I stole that title from someone, but I cant think who... But I do know that BARFAPALOOZA is the best term for October 2007 in the Best household. 5 out of 6 of our household members have been down and out with a nasty stomach bug... that is everyone except daddy... I swear that he is made of steal or something. He never gets sick!! And I am thankful because he has been such a trooper helping take care of us all. Today was our first barf-free day since last saturday... whoo hoo! Hopefully we are on the mend! And in the mean time, I have spent my spare time disinfecting every single towel, sheet, pillow case, blankie, stuffed animal, rug, doorknob, toilet, and child in our house... in hopes that we will be spared from "round 2" of the awful bug! I think I have used an entire economy sized tub of Clorox wipes!


On a much lighter note, we had the Fun Farm come to our preschool last week. Cason was sick that day, so he missed out, but sweet Bryson loved the animals. He would squat down and talk in his high-pitched voice that he uses when he talks to a baby, he was so sweet and gentle and he would give those bunnies hugs and kisses. He was pretty disturbed by the horse and the cow. They both looked him right in the eye and the horse kinda sneezed on him (nice, I know!) and weirded him out.... but here are some sweet pics of him with the bunnies:





Here was his first "conversation" with the bunnies. He took a minute to talk to them before he got close enough to touch them....





"Yes, Bryson, that is the bunny's eye...."
Feeding the goats...


My co-teacher and I decided to "dress the part" and we both wore pigtails and overalls for farm day. Everyone was calling me "EllieMae" and they dared me to kiss this pig. I didnt go that far, but I did hold it as it was squirming and squeeling (an awful high squeel) and had a picture taken with the poor thing...

Little Bry

I feel like I am always posting about the big boys and telling stories about them and what is going on with them... so this one is for our little man! These are just some great pics of Little Bryson from our family pizza/movie night a while back... Yes, he is covered in his pizza, but I loved how we really captured his personality in these pics....


Cheesey smile!

Crazy smile!


This is his face when he says, "whoa!!" And he says it all the time!



Sweet boy!




Whiney boy!





Mr Personality!






Where's Bry?


Peapie!



Man, I love this boy!

When it rains it pours!

Little bry has had a cough since friday, but it was nothing more than just a cough. Well at our 1st sunday meal at church, he coughed until he puked... all. over. everywhere.... surrounded by all our friends... poor baby. We still wrote it off as allergies, drainage, a tickle, etc bc he was just as happy as can be and no fever, etc. So we took him back to church Sun night. The lady in the nursery said he didnt seem like he felt good, so we headed out to the car, and he coughed again until he puked again all. over. the. car. Yukk. We got him home, his fever was 103.8, we drugged him up and put him to bed. He woke up several times during the night coughing, puking, etc. I took him to the dr this morning (with my other 2 banchies tagging along). You dont realize how time those patient rooms are until you have 2 very healthy, energetic little boys and one very not-healthy, fussy, unhappy baby all in the same room. Just thinking about it makes me sweat. The dr thinks it is pnemonia. So we had to go do some lab work (still with my 2 extra friends)... it was awful. They said the results would only take 5 minutes so we could just wait in the waiting room, where they were playing "Finding Nemo" (God bless Nemo!) But again, Bry got to coughing. I tried his drink, his passie, but I was too late. He barfed all. over. mommy!!! In the waiting room, so we got up to leave, and I am literally dripping, leaving a trail all the way out the door and to my car. As we round the corner, TA-DA Daddy to the rescue. I called him when I found out we were doing blood tests and a chest xray but he was in a meeting so he could judt drop everything and leave. But he got there just in time to back track my steps and use the Clorox wipes (that I keep in my car for situations just like these) to clean up my dripping trail, apologize to the front desk and ask them to call my cell with the results.

So we headed home for a bath, some spray-n-wash, and a load of laundry and got back into the car to head to the chest xray. Clint took the 2 big boys to the courthouse with him to pay $150 for his ticket that he got last week for not having his seatbelt on (as he was pulling out of the parking lot and reaching back to put it on.... but that is a whole nother post!!), and I went to the healthcenter for the xray... this time carrying a big bowl/bucket... just in case! They got us back super fast but the xray itself was PURE MISERY... they strapped him in the most awful contraption and I cried right along with him. It was quick and the man was very nice. We put his shirt back on and he was fine as soon as we got back outside where he could see the birds. He loves the birds! It was about 120 degrees outside (or maybe I am a bit melodramatic when I am stressed, but whatever, it was HOT), and we get into my car, and you guessed it, the battery is dead... I cried again, called clint, and you guessed it again, TA-DA, daddy to the rescue!! We got 'er started back up, drove thru McDonalds (God bless McD's), and now we are all back in our cool, quiet, air-conditioned home napping.

I am almost scared to get back into my car to go get Micah for fear of what will happen next......
I will keep you posted on lil Bry.

My little stinker....

As you can see, he has been busy at work lately... All of these were taken in the last 24 hours. Being 1 is tough work! And just so you know, my baby does own clothes. The first pictures (where he is tidying the bathroom for me) was from early this morning when we were all getting ready to go to school. And yes, his sleeve is soggy all the way to the elbow... hence the impromptu bath that nearly made us all tardy!


Yes, in our jammies again, but these are not laced with toilet water. He gets himslef "stuck" in this position all the time, and it cracks me up that he continues to try to go thru the chair arm this way... as though maybe this time he will fit. Kinda like me and those jeans that fit before my 4th baby... I just keep thinking that someday it will work for me!




And these 2 are my favorites. Coby got some new shake n go racecars for his birthday, so the boys put up their shake n go track and we have left it there for the week. Bryson works really hard to get himself up onto the train table and crawls to the middle of the track. He has learned to shake up the cars and put them down to watch them go... usually followed by a squeal of delight... it never gets old! Hilarious!

Updates

Well, we discovered last night that Micah had a fever of about 103.5, which is a really bad sign... we waited until this morning to call, at which time it was down to 101.7. They are just having us monitor that form home and be sure it doesnt get any higher. I dont know how much more I can take of the ER!! He is not showing any signs of infection, so they are thinking it is from blood loss and the body's way of showing the stress/trauma of what he has been thru... poor baby! But he is feeling so much better and his spirits are just great... It was an absolutely beautiful day so we spent some time out doors and shared Micah's popsicles with everyone! Even Bryson!

Needless to say, he loved it!!


And here we are discovering the sorrow of the melted, disappearing popsicle. It is rough being one!



This is just a sweet picture of my little Red-head! I know I am bias, but seriously... how sweet is he?

Micah feels good enough to show some love to his favorite baby!

And a quick game of peek-a-boo never gets old to a one-year old!


The other 2 munchkins enjoying their popsicles!
Cason is all smiles!

So is Coby!


He wanted to show off his boo-boo from his bike accident! This actually looks better than it did... it has been quite a week here at our house!


I have some other pics of the first hospital stay and some original pictures of Coby's bike accident, but they are on the memory card that will not download onto my computer for some reason?! Anyhoo, I will figure that out and post them someday! I just felt like I needed to give an update after my scary last post, and a few fun pictures always help bring everyone a little cheer!!
