Hanging the Christmas lights

Bryce has loved looking at all the lights this year. He could not wait to help his daddy put up out lights. It is so fun to see how much more involved he is with everything the year.

Thanksgiving Day

We enjoyed our Thankgiving Day with Kristin (Bryan's sister), Derek, Gavin and Andres. Derek is a wonderful cook and did EVERYTHING. How lucky am I? The food was sooo yummy. The worst thing about it was there was a point we had to stop eating:) Thanks Derek!!

Bryce's 2nd Birthday

I am a little late in getting these pictures posted. Bryce's 2nd birthday was on November 1st and his theme was Thomas the train. He had such a great day with family and friends. Below are some shots throughout his party.

Birthday Train

Bryce got a train set for his second birthday and he was so excited. It was so cute to watch. Happy 2nd Birthday Bryce!

Bryce's Park Ranger Outfit

Here is Bryce in his Park Ranger Outfit! His Grandma Simon bought this for him and he thought he was pretty cool:) He takes his job very seriously.

Halloween!!

Here are some shots of the Halloween night in our neighborhood. The weather was perfect and the boys had a blast!

Already dipping into the candy:)

It is hard to see but Bryan carved out a hauted house this year in his pumpkin. It turned out great.

Trick or Treat in Deerfield Center

Well we are trying to get as many opportunities for Bryce to wear his costume (Grandma Simon made it and it was a hit!! Nice work Grandma!) as possible so we took him to the Deerfield Town Center for Trick or Treat. It was so much fun to see how quickly he and Andres (his cousin) took to the concept of trick or treating.

Halloween at the Zoo

A couple of weeks ago we went to the zoo with our friends. It was great getting to spend time with everyone and it allowed the kids to be in their costumes as well. As you can tell they were not too excited in my shot of all the kids:)

Pumpkin Patch

We enjoyed the day at the pumkin patch with Bryce and his cousins.

Best Friend's Wedding

Bryan just got back from one of his bestfriend's wedding on Sunday. He had such a great time. It was like a mini class reunion for him. I was not able to go this time but he still had fun:) Congrats to Frank and Rachel!
Happy Groom and Bride

First Trip to King Island

Last weekend we went to Kings Island with Bryan's sister and kids. We had such a blast! Bryce was just tall enough to ride. Thankfully because he loved every ride. He would sit there and giggle. He especially loved the roller coaster (which he called Thomas the train) and the mini mini drop zone.
Below is the ride I am calling the mini drop zone. I could not believe that Bryce could go on it and would love it like he did. He wanted to go on it again. I guess he takes after mom and dad:) Also in the picture is cousin Andres and Kristin (Bryan's sister).

The Day out with Thomas

We went to see Thomas the tank engine a couple weekends ago. Bryce LOVED to see Thomas. It was so cute to see his face light up when Thomas pulled up to the train station. We spent a couple hours playing as well as took a ride on the train.

Happy 4th Anniversary!!

Today is our 4th Anniversary. It has been an exciting 4 years. I love you very much Bryan and thanks for being such a wonderful husband and an awesome dad.

GO COWBOYS!

Bryce has really enjoyed coloring lately. Since I have been home it has been a blast watching him while he works on his art:) Here are a few good shots.

Making Cookies with the kids!

Bryce had fun helping mom and cousins make cookies for the first time.
