Jingle bells

Even Bryce is getting into the christmas spirit!

(sorry it's sideways)

The chirstmas train

We brought Bryce to go see the christmas train that stopped here in Winona. I would have had more pictures but I was trying to get out the video camera and take pactures and it was all a big hassle to do, but there's always next year. We would have stayed longer but it was freezing!

Here comes the christmas train!

Bryce had a good time looking at all the lights and at the big train!

Oh christmas tree

We have had our christmas tree up since like the beginning of November so I figured it was time the put up a picture.

I couldn't get a picture of the tree without taking a picture of Bryce first. He sees the camera and starts saying 'mile' so I had to take one of him.

Bryce's first christmas ornament he made in daycare.

Bryce likes it when we run around the house and chase each other so last night he had all three us going around the couch running for literaly like 20-25 minutes straight! If we tried to stop to or anything Bryce would yell mommy run or daddy run. and since our place is so small everything is really close together so Bryce would run into something or hit something every so often. He would slow down a little rub where he hit and say 'oh geez' cause that's what i always say whenever he gets hurt; but would ask him if he's ok and he would just uh-huh and keep running. He had a blast.

It's potty time!

I have been sorta working on potty training with Bryce. I didn't want to push him to much, I wanted him to use it when he was ready. So tonight we were trying it and I just let him go without his diaper for awhile. He would sit on it and I could tell he needed to poo-poo but he wasn't going in the potty and it was obvious he really needed to so I tried to get him to but he just asked to put a diaper on so I did that and he went so I was a little disappointed. But then I changed him and just let him walk around without his diaper on again then he went over and just went to sit on his potty again after a little bit, then I heard it......the sound of tinkling in the potty!! He went in the potty for the first time! I was very proud of him.

Seeing santa

we went to go see santa a couple weekends ago and it was no different from last year. Poor little Brycie. I do feel bad now for making him see Santa so after his picture we went and got him a cookie with a mater ring from cars on it. Everytime he sees santa on t.v. or toys or something he has no problem.

HAPPY THANKSGIVING

Mom, Hannah, Bryce, and I went over the Grammies house for our thanksgiving meal. I cooked the dinner while mom watched Bryce at her house and Hannah played the wii, then we transported the meal over to Grammies house. It was absolutely delicious! We had of course turkey, sweet potato casserole, homemade cloverleaf rolls, mashed potatoes, corn, greenbean casserole, cranberries, and a pumpkin cake roll. Bryce didn't really eat anything but he just played with his trains the whole time, he is such a good boy and so handsome!

Well I'm not gonna sit here and brag myself up or anything but I do feel pretty darn good about myself right now. I found where to disconnect the old power cord from the dryer so returned the outlet I bought from menards and went and rebought the power cord from walmart and I reconnected tne new cord all by myself! so now both my washer and dryer work!!!

Well nothing can just go right the first time. The dryers plug-in does not fit the outlet we have in the basement! So I went up to the store to see if I could find an adaptor. I found a new plug you would have to hook-up. So I went home to do it and the whole back of the dryer would need to come off and I wasn't about the deal with that. So I returned the cord I bought and then I went the menards to find some sort of adaptor there, they don't make anything like that. So I bought a new outlet the replace the one that is in the wall. I unscrewed it and everything but then I was supposed to turn off the power and blah, blah, blah, I wasn't going to deal with that either. So I called maintenance for our building and lef t a message to see if they would be able to come repalce it. so, I'm waiting for a response from them.

Finally!! We have a washer and dryer of our very own!!!

trick-or-treating

The second stop. Mimi's house was first of course.

Bryce ended up getting tired after we went down one side of the street and we had to push him on the way back.


checkin out the goods.

Going trick-or-treating

Cutest little cookie monster ever.

Bryce's halloween outfit he wore to daycare.

pumpkins

These are the pumpkins I carved.

Bryces favorite movie now is cars, we watch it everyday. So of course I had to do a lightning mcqueen pumpkin.

At the park

On the merry-go-round.
on the swings.

They built a new park where they tor down the old one. It was so beautiful last week I took Bryce down there before it gets to cold.

They're still doing some work on it.

HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!

Happy Halloween everyone! I hope you all have a great time trick-or-treating. I tought Bryce to say trick or treat and it's soo cute.

Happy Anniversary!!

Today is mine and Dustin's 3 year anniversary!!

Today when I dropped Bryce off at daycare he wanted me to hold when we were in the room. So I was carrying him and we went to the back part where the coats are hung up and there are bathrooms back there. There was a little girl washing her hands at the sink (its out in theopen next to the coats) and Bryce looks over at her and says "hi coco" (that's her name) How cute is that. He sounded so darn sweet!

Another apple orchard

It was such a beautiful day out today we went to another apple orchard to get more apples so I can make apple dumplings.

Tractor ride.

picking more apples

taking a break and checking out the apples he picked.

We went to go check out one of the pumpkin patches that they have.
Bryce sat there and was pushing and kicking them cause they look like balls, even though he know they're pumpkins.
we went for two tractor rides, one just to ride and the other to get dropped off to go pick apples.
There were tractors that the kids could ride on. Bryce's legs were to short to reach to peddles so Mimi had to give him a little help.
The pink tractor was the only one left.

We tried to get Bryce to pet the sheep. He would get a little close and almost try but then would run off.
He picked up some hay off the ground cause he saw some other kids doing it and tried to do it too.

We went to the Farmer's Market this morning and Bryce picked out a little pumpkin he wanted.

Look at that big sweet smile!
