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.

West Virginia Game

We took Bryson to his first Auburn football game. What better way than to take him to a road game. It wasn't much of a game but still had a great time before hand and an awesome time up in Pittsburgh for the weekend.

As we were walking through the Auburn tailgate we came across a person who had a collection of tigers. What do you do when you find this?

Use it as a photo opportunity! This was about the only time Bryson was in full view with his outfit. The rest of the time it was below 40 and he was in jackets and blankets.

"Hey are you going to share any of that with me?" See how the passy just dropped right out of his mouth at the sound of a cold one being popped.

We unfortunately had quite a hard time getting to the game. We were to leave Houston Wed night at 7pm but we didn't end up leaving until Thurs at 1am. We got into Pittsburgh at 4:45am and had just enough time to crash for a couple of hours before driving an hour south to Morgantown. Bryson was a trooper but was never able to recover from that first night. So luckily we brought the sling carrier and he spent most of the time bundled up asleep being carried around. He just asked to be woken up when we got somewhere. We also got a local sandwich in Pittsburgh I had heard about and saw on TV (thanks to my addiction to the food channel). They take two slices of Italian bread and put a meat of choice (I got a Philly Cheese Steak) then they load it up with homemade cole slaw and fries!! It was actually really good and even had a little miner beer (a local brew) with which to wash it down.

School Halloween

Here are some pictures of Bryson at his day care. They have been doing Halloween activities all week.

This was Kristi and Bryson drawing a pumpkin.

" But Mom I just want to EAT the marker!!!

Bryson's fist completed "Master Piece". Notice all the chew marks around the paper! That was his contribution to the "Master Piece". Mom did the green dots.

I love my baby pumpkin. I will hold it, love it, hug it, and talk to it.
