I'm leaving on a Jet Plane!

Nolan got his very first plane experience, here he is with daddy excited for what's to come!Here's the fam all together on our way to vist Ry, Ellen, Blake and Cam!

Mommy and her boys! They were so good! Nolan pretty much slept the whole way it was so early in the am. Bryson impressed me, with being so good, now, checking thru security and them taking his 'monkey' away, didn't set well with him, and he let us know! It all started when he got hit in the head in line by a guy's suitcase, yikes! Luckily, the trip was smooth from then on! The boys and I actually all ended up napping together before we landed!
Here is a picture of Aunt Ellen, Nolan and Cam! She loves her Nolie, and wants his hair, who wouldn't hes so cute! :) We miss you guys!
Bryson and Blake are buddies, they had fun playing- the big hit was balloons over the pool table, they also loved jumping off the ottoman into pillows..and they went to play alittle basketball too..best of all-- we had no fights! YAY! We only wish we were all closer so they could play more.

What a great trip and congrats to Uncle Ryan on his promotion to Major, we are proud of you, can't wait to see you all again, hopefully very soon!

SILLLY BOYS!!

So, it's already February and I have an almost 5mth old and a 2yr old, WILD, where has the time gone?? They are growing up overnight and I can't keep up.. I will just update you with a few of the fun and silly stuff going on around the house!
Nolan was baptised last month, I have tons of pictures, might make a seperate post about it a bit later- he looked precious he's one of my fav pics:
Here is our one of 2 whole family pictures we have quickly been able to get in the last 5 mths, sad huh!? I am happy to report we are scheduled for a family session in March, can't WAIT. This pic was of Bryson's bday- we took him to see Mickey Mouse Clubhouse Live since he didn't get to have a bday party.. it was a pretty fun family day!

Nolan has started foods, can u tell he was happy eating Bananas? Don't tell Pappy Stone, he hates naners! Not sure if it was so much the fruit or the having mommy sing Bannana NANNA NNNAAAS to him that made him so happy. He has been having cereal for the last month and he's tried about alll the veggies.. i just thought it'd be fun to throw in a fruit and see how it went over.. at least it was good! :)

This kid is so happy, Im telling you he is so mellow, he liked having daddy's hat on and lets Bryson waller all over him whenever he wants.. we are soo greatful for such a wonderful sweet boy!

Now, for Bryson, how much room is in here for me to type. One word. RIOT. he is so funny! This is him during our long weekend just me and the boys(and a wonderful visit from gama) when he decided that he was going golfing, but he put those down and thought he needed keys so he took my purse threw on the rainboots and headed for the door "i go bye bye mommy" ok, see you Bryson. He gets to the door. Mommy, need Keys. I need KEYS! okay, Bryson, get the keys. Soon after, Mommy, need monnies, i need monies as he dumps the few coins left from my wallet then he wanted to feed them to his piggie. Where do these kids come up with stuff?
Here is the half naked golfer. He is SOOO much like his dad, with a better swing. :) I'm sure there may be a picture or two of his dad shirtless someplace (maybe our wedding book? lol) Anyway, this kid has loved golf since he could hold a club it is so fun to watch him. Lets just hope he doesn't jack his brother in the head with that thing!
Brotherly Love: these two are so sweet! Nolan absolutely adores Bryson, and Bryson really loves Nolan, always wants to hold him or hold his hand if he cries he gets down to him..it's otay baby. then looks for me saying". mommy baby cry, baby cry!!!! " This is a pic after Nolan got bumpo seat time and Bryson thought he had to be a part of it.
Anyone familiar with Blues Clues.. well Bryson is OBSESSED with it. this is his 'thinking' chair, yep, bottom base of the car seat. ? ? don't ask? He just decided this when we were playing upstairs, he's had a notebook obsession and carrying it around for weeks now getting clues.. then he said, my thinkin chair mom..i need another clue. then he stuck his hands on his face like this and sang... thhhhiiinnkkkkkkk .. i was dying laughing!
more stories to come....

Christmas--WAAY Late

MERRY CHRISTMAS from the MOSSMAN FAMILY:
Here is our Christmas card this year, most people got this, I just wanted to post it so I could remember it, it took me a whole bag of chewy sprees and about 50 some deleted photos to get that one cute one of Bryson...but baby Nolan was easy, he still lights up everytime I come near.

Anyway, this is so super late considering Vday is sunday! We had a great christmas with our 2 wonderful blessings, poor boys, Santa was lazy this year and only brought stockings, in fact bryson's gift (art easel) is still down in the storage room since I forgot to bring it up, the kid had a car load full of stuff he didn't know the difference, but i still feel guilty.. but here is a pic of the two biggest hits of the holiday:
Blues Clues.. this was in Bryson's stocking but even brother got to enjoy him!

Bryson with Blue and his awesome new STL fitted hat from Godmommy Sam, he wore it all weekend even with pj's.. thats love, and he looks so darn cute:
Here is my only child who would sit on Santa's lap, probably due to the fact he can't walk! Bryson simply heard his name with urging from me walked up to him and grabbed the brown bag with his name and ran.. who can blame him..Santa could be a bit scary for a child!
Anyway, we made the rounds to all the family and it was nice..other than Bryson having a sinus infection and being alittle fussy (very clingy).. overall, it was good and the kids have tons of toys and we still in Feb haven't gotten to them all. Thanks to everyone for the great stuff! I wish i had time to put more pics, i just have so many many I can't even choose!

Halloween 2009

We made Jack-o-Lanterns this year and Bryson had a great time, he was helping mommy pull out the inside slime and seeds, his face in this picture really cracks me up: Here is his artwork, he added tape and stickers, really gave the pumpkin some character, don't u think?

Here are the completed pumpkins, the one on the left is Daddy's, the one one the right is mommy's with bryson's beautiful touches.

We invited Uncle Barry,Aunt Jenny and Cousin Parker as well as 'gama' over for halloween and trick or treating, we had a great time, the boys were adorable!

Bryson wouldn't get in the picture, but these little guys look pretty cute!

Nolan and mommy, he didn't want to be in the stroller any longer

Bryson, mommy and daddy sitting on the porch with our cool pumpkins

The boys in the wagon off to get candy! Bryson had a GREAT time once he figured out all he had to do was ring a door bell and hold out his pumpkin and they would give him candy! His FAVORITE!!

Here is our little future Cardinal! He was originally a dragon/dinosaur deal but he HATED the costume, we tried at the daycare parade and he flipped out. This last minute outfit turned out cute though and he carried the bat around all night too, it was so fun!

Here is our little cutie in his bat hat and pumpkin shirt, i had to take pictures this was the only one he wasn't completely mad in!

Little Dino on our way to see Bryson's daycare halloween parade, at least one boy wore his costume!!

We had a GREAT halloween this year, the boys all looked so cute, we have many more great ones to come, we are looking forward to next year!

My boys are getting so big!! This week Nolan is 8wks! crazy!! I can't believe how fast it's gone and i'm really enjoying being home right now (minus the part-time working stuff). We have had alot of family together time lately and its been great, Bryson has been doing pretty good with a baby around, this is his favorite thing right now when he gets home and im feeding or cooking, lounging like a big boy in his firetruck chair watching cartoons.. he's also really into hats lately. Such a cutie! We started getting some good coos and smiles out of nolan lately.. this just melts your heart!

a little shy smile look.

This is brother helping feed the baby, he likes to be 'big' and 'help'.

Nicki and I were playing with her camera taking pics of Nolan, and she put them on photoshop and they turned out so cute! here is my favorite one.

Bryson, my little ham, Great BIG BRO

Here's the big brother, he's taking full advantage of mommy not being able to do much and letting him eat pudding, and any other junk he could get his hands on.. smart kid, capitalize on the situation! Bryson doing his chores, getting the yard ready to bring home a new baby. Hard working boys!

This is our typical morning, he kisses the baby each day before he leaves for school, Nolan is the only family member that gets his kisses geninuely..the rest of us have to trick him and say, I don't want a kiss or hug.. don't u kiss me..and he comes running. Brotherly love!

Testing out the baby gear, looks sturdy, and he LOVES the vibrating seat we are constantly trying to remind him that he is a BIG boy now, and the baby needs that seat!

Babysitting: he loves to take care of Nolan, holding him is fun, well for like a minute, then he pushes him off, gotta watch that boy!

Entertainer: He is really into this CHEESE mommy, when he sees the camera, and likes to make that cute face.. he has my headband on too, he LOVES it, he looks like rambo when he gets it on his forehead. so funny.

Toy manager : taking care of brother's animals, although Bryson really thinks they are his--he wallers them everywhere. also note he has the vasoline in his hands.. his favorite thing to do is squirt it in his hands and rub it on the baby's head or cheeks, lotion is also a good alternative--doesn't matter what it is really he likes to help!

Product testing: These paci's are sturdy, they can withstand the toddler chewing.. he likes to try to shove them in Nolan's mouth even when he's dead asleep and won't open his mouth. At least he tries right?Mommy gave bryson some stickers to keep him occupied.. and this is what happened:

Cute baby all decorated with cool stickers :) Toddlers.. what can i say.. never a dull moment in our house

He's Here!!

Our newest edition to the Mossman Family has arrived! Nolan Edward Mossman was born Sept 15th at 10:29 weighing in at 8lbs 14oz and a whopping 22in long. It was a really smooth birth and we all made it thru well! Nolan is a beautiful sweet baby and I couldn't be happier!
Our Family--my cute boys!! Im so proud!

Family-

Bryson meeting his brother, he loves to KISS HIM! We were happy that he took an interest, the first day we brought him in he wanted nothing to do with the baby, too much going on and the iv and bed buttons were just too distracting. The next two days he really was sweet and interested in Nolan.

He really likes to touch him as well :)

Getting a close up look, followed by a big kiss for Nolan:

Cool baby, want some licorice? We have to remind him, thanks for sharing but we can't feed the baby!!

Stay tuned for some good stories about my boys and the funny things they do!
