" Uh oh mama, uh oh!"

I had given Bryce some m & m's earlier this day for a treat. They were from his stocking in a candy cane container. I had set the container by the microwave which I thought was out of Bryce's reach. Later that day, I hear something crash to the floor and Bryce saying "oh no mama, oh no". I came into the room and found m & m's everywhere and a little boy attempting to eat them as fast as he could. I told him it was okay...it was an accident but please stop eating the candy off the floor. I had to start picking them up off the floor as fast as I could because he couldn't help but eat them even faster when he saw me throwing them out!

Enjoying a good book...

Bryce is enjoying a good book while having his breakfast this morning.

Snow

Bryce loves the snow and loves to throw it into the air. He doesn't mind if the snow falls on his face or if he dives face first into the snow...he thinks it's more fun when that happens!

Snowballs

Bryce and mom are having playing in the snow and making snowballs after the first snowfall of the year!

Sledding with dad

Bryce was all smiles as he headed down the snowy hill on his sled with dad!

Christmas again!

After celebrating with the Ensigns and the Putzkes we had our own family Christmas the day after Christmas. Bryce is showing off his new book he opened.

Snow

Bryce and daddy are checking out the new snowfall the morning after Christmas!

"Oh, cool car mama"

This is one of Bryce's favorite sayings..."oh, cool car mama, dada!" Here he is exclaiming just that.

Cousins out and about!

Aunt Kristie, Aubrey, Bryce and daddy stopped for a picture in front of the reindeer on Christmas!

The Collado Family

Uncle Dave, Aunt Kristie, and Aubrey went to see the holiday decorations with us in NJ.

Christmas lights!

While in NJ for Christmas we visited the Pitman Grove Christmas decorations. Many people had set up decorations and lights for people to enjoy. Bryce liked seeing characters like mickey, clifford, and the reindeer.

Cousin Aubrey

Cousin Aubrey all dressed up in her Christmas dress....happy as usual!

Cousin Sam on Christmas

Cousin Sam really liked this gift from Papa and Gigi!

Brushing up on the instructions

Bryce got a vtech learning book from Papa and Gigi for Christmas. He decided to brush up on the instructions first!

Presents under the tree

Bryce is using some gifts from his stocking...a toy story snack cup filled with goldfish...how perfect!

Stockings

The cousins enjoyed opening their stocking stuffers together.

Cousins

Bryce and Samuel enjoyed playing together in the nursery on Christmas Eve. They looked too cute all dressed up in their fancy suits. These two are great buddies!

"Papa?"

Bryce is patiently looking out the window on the front door, watching papa cook on the grill. He likes call to papa and is super excited when papa comes back in the house.

Ahhh...lemonade!

Bryce decided to enjoy some lemonade with me as I wrapped stocking stuffers this year.

Bryce and Papa

Bryce is relaxing on the couch with papa and "mammy", his blankie. We almost lost "mammy" amidst all the wrapping paper and bows....mammy got thrown into the trash bags with the wrapping paper. After searching the house for a few hours Gigi decided to look for mammy in the trash bags one more time. Gigi saved the day and found mammy...what a relief!

Christmas gifts!

Bryce enjoyed making Christmas gifts for family this year. Here he is enjoying painting a picture frame for Papa and Gigi. He even colored some place mats for his cousins Samuel and Aubrey. He certainly has a creative side!

Race Car!

Bryce loves his new remote control car he got for Christmas from Uncle Scott, Aunt Beth, and the gang. He loves to drive it around the kitchen while I am doing dishes or cooking.

T-Ball

Bryce loves to play baseball. Dad thought of this inexpensive indoor T-Ball invention. Half of a wrapping paper roll works well enough for Bryce. He loved hitting the ball and got quite a few homeruns!

One of my favorite things...

Bryce is very good at sneaking around quietly so he can "discover new things" (aka...get into things he's not supposed to). He loves my makeup for some reason and often is getting into it. A time before this he decided to draw all over his face with my black eyeliner...that was not picture worthy but was timeout worthy. He loves to discover.

Job Complete!

We got Bryce's new train table from Great Grandpa and Grandma Weber put together and Bryce was thrilled. He walked around the table running the train on the tracks for an hour or more saying "weee!" He loves it...thanks for a great Christmas gift Grandpa and Grandma Weber!

Bryce's Train Table

Great Grandpa and Grandma Weber got Bryce this train table for Christmas. Bryce talked about the "choo-choos" the entire time we were looking at them in the store, on the way home in the car, and as you can see when we got home. He was climbing all over the box pointing to the trains in excitement.

Please, please...

Bryce wanted to go play outside terribly yesterday. He stood by the sliding doors to the patio asking for his coat and shoes and saying please! We took him out briefly since he is still recovering from his sickness. He headed straight for the creek out back and began throwing rocks in. He enjoyed his time outdoors with mom and dad!

Guitar

Bryce loves listening to dada play the guitar and sing. He is starting to get the hang of strumming the guitar.

Bryce can smile through anything!

Bryce is still getting over his sickness, but is as smiley as ever. He gives lots of extra hugs, kisses, and cuddles these days. We're hoping he gets better as quickly as possible but also enjoy the extra love Bryce is giving.

Fresh air!

Bryce is enjoying some fresh air at the playground. He is still getting over his sickness and is feeling better each day.

Play-doh animals!

Bryce loves playing with play-doh. He has an animal set that he cuts the animals out and then makes the corresponding animal sounds.
