New haircut

Here are some pictures of Bryce's new haircut. I think it looks great, especially since there aren't knots everywhere! We are having beautiful weather this weekend so before church this morning we took a couple of pictures.

Crazy hair

Bryce has started twisting his hair around his fingers and it ends up in knots that I can't get out! The crazy looking thing on the right side of his hair is the result of the twisting. You can see it looks fried at the end where I had to work it out. He would create crazy looking curls all over! The one in the middle of his hair is just normal Bryce morning hair! Can't blame that one on him!! I kept telling him that if he didn't stop twisting he would have to get his hair cut (which he hates!). He was doing it without realizing it though so I knew it was time to get it cut :( It looks pretty good and Bryce was such a big boy getting it done!!

Ultrasound picture

I ended up just taking pictures of our ultrasound pictures! I was going to go to a friend's house and scan them, but this turned out fine I think!

Great Trip and Dr. visit!

We had a wonderful trip to West Point and Olive Branch! It was so much fun just being each place. Nothing big planned just playing and visiting with the Grandparents. Here are some pictures from our trip...


Papaw Duke has had this awesome tractor hidden from us! Bryce loved 'driving' it.

No trip to West Point would be complete without a visit to the country and the buses!

Bryce LOVES his Cappy!

He had a great time hugging/holding/kissing baby Jude

Happy Birthday Papaw Ruff!

Melts my heart!!

We got home from our trip last night and had a full day today! I took Bryce to school, ran to the Dr. for our 20 week appointment and ultrasound (more on that at the end of the post) and ran back to Bryce's school for their Mardi Gras Parade.

My favorite part of Mardi Gras parades from when I was younger! "Moon Pie! Moon Pie!"

Our 20 week appt. went great! Baby Crunchy is growing well, had plenty of fluid, and is measuring right on track (20 weeks 3 days). It was awesome to see the profile, hands and feet. When it was time to check out the bladder and that area she told us to close our eyes and we did! I had no trouble being good and not peeking to find out the gender. We don't have our scanner anymore but I'm going to see if any of my friends here do and I'll scan in some of the pictures. She got some good ones!

Quick story. Bryce and I were outside swinging this afternoon and he mentioned that he was glad to be home with his glider and all of his other toys. Then he said "I love Dada". I asked him who else he loves and in this order he said : "Sister (our dog Reagan), Cappy, Papaw Ruff, Kiki, Papaw Duke, Mama and Baby Crunchy and Baby Jude"! AAWWW! It melted my heart when he included his baby brother or sister in that list!

Recent pictures

My friend Melanie and her son Liam have been staying with us since Sunday. The boys have had a good time playing together. We have had some clashes but nothing major at all! We are helping Mel move in to their new house tomorrow. I know we are going to miss them being around all the time but we are so glad they are back in Pensacola. They were gone for 4 months and we missed them so much!

Here is Bryce and Liam on the couch eating breakfast (fruity cheerios, the breakfast of choice this week)

Our playgroup went to Baskin Robbins today for a tour and ice cream. Here the boys are trying to decide what flavor they want.
Bryce chose rainbow sherbet with chocolate sprinkles. And here is one of me and baby Crunchy at 17 weeks

SCARY moment

Bryce is a big boy right? He is out of diapers, he sleeps in a big boy bed, and carries on full conversations with us. All these things make me forget he is still my baby. Today for lunch he had a sandwich and grapes. Lately I haven't been cutting his grapes up because he isn't a baby anymore. I will be cutting those things up until he leaves for college from now on! He choked on one and I was so scared. I watched it happen so I started pounding on his back right away and luckily it flew out fairly quickly. It could have been so much worse but that was my wake up call for sure! So please please please cut your kids grapes up for them!!

Astronaut Bryce

Meet Astronaut Bryce....

This afternoon, he hopped on his space shuttle
Flew to the Space Station

Then flew to Mercury where he encountered a scary pink and green Alien!

But have no fear, Astronaut Bryce is brave and conquered that scary Alien!

Bryce has SUCH a great imagination these days. We played outside for a long time this afternoon and the whole time he was in Astronaut mode and everything he did had something to do with being an Astronaut. It was so fun!
