Pumpkin Patch

We decided to take Bryan to the pumpkin patch last night.  I wanted cute pumpkin pictures.  Bryan wanted nothing to do with me.

He was too busy picking up pumpkins

pulling the wagon

driving

and playing in the corn.

We did manage to take a nice family photo.

Happy Fall!

Mommy who

I have a camera the size of a credit card, my phone has a camera and video camera with HD quality and yet, I can't seem to take any pictures.  I could blame myself but reality is that it's all little b's fault.  He refuses to perform for anyone/thing including my camera.

Highlights of Bryan's life right now...
Dancing
and
Bruce

That is all.  He cares about nothing else.

I'm jealous of Bruce, I won't lie.

After Bruce, Bryan's favorite would be his Daddy (Daddin).  I'm not allowed to touch anything that belongs to "Daddin". Why is this important you ask?  Because today when I was doing laundry, b was pulling all of Bryan's shirts out, looking at me, saying "Daddin turt" and putting it on the floor.  I would pick the clothes back up and b would take them from me and tell me "no, Daddin"  Conclusion...Bryan, do your own laudry.  You can thank your son for that.

My Shadow

On July 21, Bryan turned 18 months old.  This was also the day he revealed that he was paying all kinds of attention to what I was doing around the house.  Out of no where, little b began doing all sorts of chores.

He brings in the groceries

Then he puts them away

He sweeps

He refills the air in his ball pit when it gets a little low.

Bryan also unloads and loads the dishwasher, feeds the dog, and vacuums.

Next on the list - laundry!

Just Keep Swimming

Little b started swim lessons today! Of course he was the star student.



He learned how to monkey crawl.





He learned to kick his feet.

And he learned how to blow bubbles in the water.


He'll be in the Olympics in no time!

Happy 4th of July!

The Bryans and I went to Southlake on the 3rd to see the fireworks.

We had a lot of fun playing around while we waited.




Little b met Uncle Sam.

Thank goodness he never actually saw Uncle Sam or I'm not sure this picture would have turned out.

Finally the fireworks started! Little b was riveted. He kept shouting "BALL!" (I know everyone is shocked). We could barely take a picture because he kept twisting around to watch.


On the 4th we had a cookout with friends and happened to take this festive photo.

It's All Greek To Me - Santorini

Grandfather surprised everyone with a weekend in Santorini!

The views were AMAZING.



The beaches were even better.


The Red Beach


The Black Beach (too bad he wasn't a fan of the water)


Little b got to ride a donkey.


By the end of the weekend, he could say donkey. If you ask him now, he says ball.


The best part of the whole trip was watching how much little b loves his Grandfather.

It's All Greek To Me - Athens

Bryan went on the vacation of a lifetime!

He got 4 stamps in his passport.
(Switzerland, Greece, England, and of course the U.S.)



He saw the sights in Athens.

The Parthenon



The Olympic Stadium



The Changing of the Guard



Some other buildings and ruins





He rode the bus


and the metro


He tasted all the best Greek food.







But his favorite was the gelato...
