Cousins Birthday

We headed to Bozeman today for a cousin birthday party for Reagan and Zoey.  Unfortunately I didn't get any pictures of Bryant with his cousins or Aunt Jen and Uncle Ryan.  But I did get quite a few with Bryant playing in their backyard.  I love the colors of fall!

 

It took him awhile to get comfortable, but once he got used to it, he loved jumping in the trampoline.

 

He loved playing with their dog, Duke, too. 

 

He was pretty spoiled and got a gift bag

 

And got to decorate his own cake!

 

He was pretty proud of his finished product:)

 

And more outside play...

 

Family photo op!

 

Pictures with Grandpa and Grandma...this first face cracks me up!

 

Happy birthday Reagan and Zoey!

Videos and more

I think I wore Bryant out on trying to take so many pictures the other weekend, so when I pulled out my camera to record something cute, his response was "no smiles"

 

That same day he got a fruit sundae...I think he liked it:)

 

 

He's been jumping in his castle almost every night and seems to invent a new trick with each jump. As you can see he hasn't perfected his finish after his spin jumps.

 

We watched the Carroll basketball game the other night and it really peaked Bryant's interest in basketball.  Dribble, dribble, shoot!

 

 

 He even got to play on the court after the game and thought it was really fun to touch the basketball hoop.

 

Bryant doesn't like taking naps on the weekends anymore and Saturday must have really exhausted him because he fell asleep that night while watching the Bobcats play football.

 

On Sunday, we headed to Philipsburg with Grandma and Grandpa.  We enjoyed a yummy lunch and a trip to the candy store.  Bryant had fun skip-hopping around town and visiting all the little stores.

 

I had Monday off, so I decided to make pancakes for breakfast...Bryant approved!

 

That night, he got a haircut from Grandma.  He did not like it when his hair fell onto him, but other than that, he did pretty good.

 

All smiles with his new hairdo!

 

Weekend Fun

We were enjoying some of our warm weather while we still have it, so Saturday morning we headed outside to play.  Bryant wanted to play tennis

 

and then clean

 

and then take Mocha  on a wagon ride

 

The pictures didn't turn out very good, but you can see Mocha was thrilled at the thought of Bryant taking her for a ride...

 

Then he played on his playset

 

And rode his bike.  He is getting a lot better at it...even with wearing his snow boots (obviously his request and not mine since the weather was so nice)

 

And volleyball is now a sport that requires a helmet...

 

To prepare for the bobcat football game that night, we had to play some football too.  Time for kickoff..."ready, set, kick!"

 

Then, we headed to Whitehall for the rest of the weekend to catch up with Grandma and Grandpa Handl.  Bryant was a big help and I didn't catch hardly any of his activities on camera.  But he did take a big interest in picking carrots out of the garden.

 

I can't remember what he saw, but he looks scared in this picture.  I'm pretty sure he was excited and saying "look at that" but he sure doesn't look like it.

 

He also got a big kick out of feeding Manny the llama.

 

The weekends go way too fast when you are having fun!

Deer

Although he may not look like it, this little boy is officially a deer...he moved up to the next room at daycare on Monday, so he is no longer in the rabbit room.  He has become quite independent and this is what he picked out for pajamas last night...monkeys and footballs with shorts and pants.  It is also a good thing he has a couple Bobcat shirts because pretty much every day, he wants to wear a Bobcat:)

It's hard to tell in this picture, but he is flexing and showing off his muscles!

Cooking!

Bryant has always been interested in watching us cook dinner, but now he needs to help by cooking on his own.  He pulls out the pots and spoons and I have to put a little bit of whatever I am cooking in his pots so he can stir...

 

...and taste.

 

The other night I was making chili in the crock pot and Bryant pulled his stool over and had to help stir.

 

On Saturday, we headed into town to watch the Carroll volleyball team play.  It has been a little bit cold lately, so this was how Bryant chose to dress for the weather:

 

He was so tired that he actually fell asleep during the volleyball game.  I couldn't believe he slept through all the noises and cheering!

 

He got a new pair of shoes and a new pair of snow boots yesterday.  He was so excited that he kept saying "look at my new shoes!"  Today, we went to run an errand in town and he would not leave the house without his snow boots on!

 

I also had gotten him a new winter coat recently and he thought that was really fun to wear too.  Although the weather was around 55 degrees today, our kid was dressed for the freezing temperatures:)

And More Football

My boss had brought cake pops into work on Friday afternoon and happened to have an extra one for Bryant.  He has never had one before, but was pretty excited when I showed it to him.

 

It was obviously a big hit!

 

 

We were in the football mood on Saturday and decided to take Bryant to watch some little kids playing tackle football.  He was very intimidated for most of it - I think mostly because the fans were really intense, but once he got a hold of daddy's coffee cup, he was having a blast!

 

 

We left there to go watch the bobcats on TV.  Do you think Bryant was excited???

 

 

Bryant loves his doggy and anywhere Mocha goes, so does Bryant.  Needless to say, daddy had a full lap watching the bobcats play!
