Deck the Halls and All that...

Random photos of our little ham! His personality has really begun to shine. We are constantly laughing (even when we aren't supposed to, like when he puts orange slices in his hair).










Here we are at the "Kiddie Disco." We had a blast!


We went on a fancy schmancy date last night (Kyle's work Christmas party)! I wore torture heels and everything. Bridger hung out with his buddies across the street. He fell asleep successfully and didn't wake up during the trek back across the street. I believe he may just be perfect. So far the holiday season has been terrific!

November was gone in a flash!

My mother is such a slacker...so I am taking it upon myself to update this blog thing she started. November was a busy month, I feel as if it deserves some recognition. My mom has promised me that from here on out she will update my blog regularly. I love you and don't blame me I didn't pick her, she was just sort of assigned to me....

Matthew and I disassembling his mama's pantry.
Dad and I putting my crib together, I am a tremendous help.
Me and my gang: Ada, Scout and Matthew (oh and Nora is the big person, Ada's mom). I am taking the time to enjoy all of the banana bread and muffins, and it is so fun to poke them with my finger.
Me and my friend Annie (I just love her!), she is Matthew's mama.
Scout bein a goofball...
Ada, isn't she a cute girl? She can even pull off a face full of banana bread.
This is me, waiting for someone to push me. I will soon become impatient.
I will just sit here, until someone comes and entertains me.
Christmas shopping is such a pain, maybe I can make it more fun by flipping the catalogue upside-down...

Birthdays are so much better now....

happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear Grandma, happy birthday to you!!!

Happy Birthday Grandma Linda! Bridger made you a card today. The finger paint was delicious! We all wish we could be there to share your special day with you. We are there in spirit and love you very much. Do something to spoil yourself today!

Oooooo....spooky

Our Halloween was a mellow one. Poor guy was still recovering from his world travels. We actually made it to two houses, which is ok considering he couldn't eat the candy anyway. Due to the abbreviated Halloween experience there were few photo ops. Although the ones we managed to capture were pretty darn cute!

I believe the best part of yesterday would have to be Bridger's newfound growl. Every time Casey howls/speaks B growls. Needless to say, we think this is pretty awesome.

Bridger in full garb.
Matthew as a puppy.

Fiesta anyone?
"What you lookin' at fool?"
"Forget the Trick-or-treating, let's climb the wall instead."

"We have no idea what this stuff is, but dang it sure gets us excited!"

Fall...Wheeeeeeeee!

We are loving fall! Friday afternoon we went to the Pumpkin Patch with Annie, Matthew, and Matthew's grandma. There was an animal barn, hayrides, carmel apples and pumpkins for miles. Bridger's favorite part was playing all over the pumpkins with Matthew and eating the apple off of the stick (after I ate all of the carmel).





Saturday we went to the Apple Tasting Festival with the neighbors. I think it will definitely be an annual event. It was so cool watching the boys dance to the bluegrass band! Bridger did a Picasso-like job painting his pumpkin. He had an attention span of about 30 seconds, but loved throwing the glitter all over me.

Chicks and Cars

He's a busy kid, but he always has time for the ladies (Bridger's buddy Scout).




I believe Bridger's car is all-wheel drive...


Bridger had a wonderful day. Happy healthy and a bonafide walker! He is very cautious at this point, but has no time for that crawling stuff! So soon?

One dog too many...

Throughout the years many of you have thought of us as crazy(probably for a number of reasons). Crazy, due to the fact that we have a home full of fuzzy friends. Casey has made a believer out of me...(in case you can't tell, that used to be our couch).

Being 14 1/2 months is just hard sometimes.

Welcome to Bridger's very own blog page. Since we live so far from so many friends and family members we decided to come up with a way to keep all of our loved ones in the loop! We understand that not everyone is as interested in our beloved B's day-to-day activities, so don't feel obligated to read all of the posts. But at least come back every now and again to check out the photos, Bridger eye candy is never a bad thing.

Some of you may know that the bub has been a bit under the weather, but I think it is starting to pass. He had a mysterious fever virus, then due to a loser of a nurse he had complications after a botched up catheter and then this past weekend he was diagnosed with his first double ear infection! A milestone we were not so happy to come upon. Not to mention on top of everything else he is cutting a mouth-full of teeth. He has been such such a trooper and we truly believe that he has handled all of this much better than either Kyle or myself would have.

Due to all of the ickiness Bridger and mama have been homebound. Let's just say that I am not as much fun as I thought I was. Bridger was itching to to have contact with someone other than just me. Yesterday we had a low-key get-together with a couple of his buddies. He loved it. Both of his toddler pals were running all over the place. Prompting out little guy to walk much more than usual. I think we may be on the brink of having a full-fledged walker! Finally Kyle can stop telling people he is only 11 months old! :)

I hear the little peanut stirring, will write more in future posts!
