Wow, its been a really long time since my last post, we've done alot since then!
Father's Day- went good, spent time in Alton with Jeff's family and Bryson chased Gus around, boy he loves that dog! Then the next weekend we took my dad and Amy to a Cards game and had a great time despite the loss and me looking like a lobster after! :)
4th of July-
We had a 'Stone reunion' in Glenarm, and it was really nice even though the weather wasn't wanting to cooperate, I don't remember the last 4th of July i wore a jacket or sweatshirt! We played Survivor but it never really got finished but we still had fun while it lasted! Bryson had a great time playing outside and getting all wet and dirty with cousin Cole, he enjoyed seeing all the cousins and took a nap next to his buddy Claire, they were so cute!
Last weekend we went to the County fair by our house, we met up with Phil and his daughter Abby and they had a BLAST..it was so cute...they loved the merry-go round of horses, Abby always had a name for her, bryson was just having fun riding and waving at Abby and was making sure i didnt' have ahold of him cause he's a big boy now and wanted to do it on his own. Mr. Independent! There was also a huge air up slide with a ladder surrounded by two identical slides, I was afraid it might be intimidating, but Jeff and I let him try anyway, he LOVED it.. he held up the line a bit, it was a steep long climb, but he did so great, and he just got up there plopped down and went right down the slide with no fear, it was so cute. By the time he got down he w as already saying more, more..he went at least 6 times..It almost brought tears to my eyes, my baby is really a BIG boy now! He also got in a jump house deal that was neat, that was pretty much all he was ready for and mommy couldn't go on much with him with baby 'Eddie' cooking in her belly. It was really hot so we got a drink and headed to see all the animals, they were a huge hit. Bryson loved the cows--moo.. sheep he petted and panted at them cause apparently he thought they were dogs, he liked the piggies and really loved the horses especially the mini ones, he even kissed one. He and Abby were so cute to watch. Then due to mommy's craving, we got some taffy for a take home treat which he very much enjoyed.
Bryson is growing up so fast. He is really getting funny, and smart-he repeats almost everything. His new thing lately is 'gosse' = gross, if he sees anything icky, on the ground, bugs, etc.. he will pick them up or point at them..gosse gosse.. its funnny. He and daddy also have been making tents which he says is 'neat' and says it repeatedly every time he gets near the table they were making the tent with, it really cracked us up because we never coached him to say that! Unlike some of the other 'unpleasant' words daddy tries to have him say cause it's funny. Hopefully he doesnt' remember any of them!
He's a huge outside kid, we really need to get him a swing set and he'd be in heaven, we decided next year would be best for that, but it makes outside time now kinda boring, but he loves using his golfclub and bat and hitting anything and everything he can find. We also draw with chalk alot, which is messy but fun. We have a new tenant under our deck, a momma duck is sitting on a nest of eggs so we are looking forward to seeing the babies soon. Bryson calls her quack.. and we try to feed her bread but apparently she doesnt' like it cause it's all still sitting there, at least we tried right!?
I have about a million stories but that would take up a lot of time and space.. so i'll save them for another time.
I should be back monday for some baby updates we get to see Eddie in 3d and i just can't WAIT! until then....
