1st Christmas

Bryson got to go and visit his Aunt Kathy and Uncle Greg at their home in Virgina, right outside of Washington DC for his very 1st Christmas.
In my Santa outfit Christmas morning.




Look at my cool shoes!
Thank ya Santa for my very own set of keys and cell phone! HEY!!!! I know what that is!!!! It's ELMO!!!

Come here Elmo!So I can EAT you! Hahahahaha!!! Is all of this for me??Hello there puppy in a box! Come here!So I can EAT you! Hahahahaha!!! Wow! I am going to be as smart as Einstein with this gift!

New York Trip

Well, I have actually been able to put aside half-an- hour to get the blog updated.

Here are a few pictures from our trip to New York during the middle of December. It was very very cold! Cold has new meaning when you are dealing with a 9 month old who, poor thing, can't tell you when he is cold. There were a couple of times when we would get back to the hotel and find Bryson's feet were as cold as an ice box. This was even with multiple socks and his shoes on!


Ok, so does anybody know where I am on this thing?



Oh, there I am!!!!

Man, it's way too late and cold for me to be AWAKE (10:30 pm at Times Square)! Be sure to just let me know when we get back to the hotel!

Hey, mister, why are you wearing such a funny outfit? (No luck getting Bryson to look at the camera in front of the FAO Schwarz toy store. )

Thanks Dad! That helps to keep the wind off of me a lot more! I do feel like I am in space now though!

In FAO Swarz, Bryson played with lots of toys. He was very particular though and would definitely tell you if he liked the toy or not. He did though some how talk everybody into getting him BOTH of the toys in the background!!

Note the ticker in the background. This is how we found out the big news that Auburn had a new football coach!

Yeap, Bryson found ELMO!!!!! While at the largest TOYS-R-US store in the nation, we came across an "Elmo Live". Bryson absolutely loved this toy and would grab at Elmo's hands and, of course, tried to "eat" him. Who knows buddy, maybe someone has already gotten this for you for Christmas!

Hey guys! Not EVERYTHING has to go in one of these airport bins. PLEASE take me with you!!

SNOW!!

Yes! That is correct! We are getting snow in Houston, Texas the DAY before we leave for a trip up north to NY City to try and see some snow. Hey, at least we are getting used to the cold weather before we go. Bryson loved it. He kept looking around at the flakes coming down.

Thanksgiving

We spent thanksgiving in Birmingham with Kristi family. Things couldn't have been better except for an Auburn win. We were so busy we didn't take alot of pictures. Here is a great one of Bryson and his cousin Micah with their moms.

1st Santa Claus

Bryson got to meet his very first Santa Claus a couple of weeks ago. He is in that "amazement phase" so he just laughed and giggled at Santa.

Vote!

Make sure you get out there tomorrow and vote. I did!!!

Halloween---Events

We celebrated Halloween a little late this year. Bryson had a school parade Friday so I decided to take him with me afterwards and let Kristi go back to work. So Bryson and I went home and carved his pumpkin and got the candy ready to go. I received a call around 5pm from Kristi letting me know she had been in an accident and was in a great deal of pain. So I packed Bryson up thinking what a miracle it was that I had him with me and he wasn't in the car. When I got there she was still in the car and was not in any shape to move. She had been hit from behind (by a 16 year old) while stopped and it was so hard that it pushed her into the car in front of her and dented the front car''s bumper as well. She had to be taken to the hospital as a precaution and is really sore now. Both the cop and I think this is going to come back as totalled vehicle so I guess the best we can hope for is that I will get a little out of it and get a new car.

So what was Bryson for Halloween?AUBIE! We figured by next year he will be telling US what he wants to be so we used this year for his mother and father's obsession. These are pictures from his "school's" Halloween carnival.

Here is Bryson's first pumpkin! No, I am not the artist in the family so I cheated and used the Internet for the design.
