Serenity Now!!!

A few weeks ago, I took the boys to a place called Jumpin Jacks. It has a bunch of inflatables for the kids to play on. It can get quite crazy in there. At one point, I caught Miles doing this:
I think the craziness must have gotten to him!! He sat down in the middle of the floor and pulled off this meditation pose. He even had this thumb and index fingers connected. I have not idea where he learned that from! Hopefully he found the peace he needed. :)
(Sorry the picture is blurry. It came from my cell phone.)

Mason's 9th Birthday!

Mason turned nine on the 27th of October. I can not believe we have a nine year old! Time flies! He is so excited that he is so close to being 10 years old.
While looking for pictures for this post, I realized we hardly took any! There were no Grandma's present for this birthday, I think that's why. Grandma's are the best. :)
Blowing out all nine candles!


He got a Nintendo DS for his birthday. He loves it!!

Vance's 4th Birthday (Finally!)

Even though Vance's birthday was over three months ago, I figured I'd should still post pictures from it! Vance had a great 4th birthday! Grandma and Grandpa Bryson were here, so all four grandparents were there for the birthday celebration.

Train cake

For some reason, I didn't put the cake close enough to Vance, so it looks like it belongs to Miles!

What a cute boy! I love it when his hair is curly for his birthday!
The cool gift that Dad picked out!!
I was surprised how well he could drive this car. He is his father's son!

Halloween 2010

Here are pictures of Iron Man, a super cool ninja, and Link on Halloween.

I love the fierce expression on Miles' face!


Mason really wanted to be a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle this year(Leonardo specifically) but I couldn't find a costume big enough for him, and I didn't have enough time to be creative and make one, so he decided to be Ironman instead.


Link from the video game The Legend of Zelda
A mighty ninja!

A Monkey Birthday

Vance got this monkey for his birthday, and he just loves him. Monkey(which has become his official name) goes a lot of of places with us! On the 19th of October, Vance informed me that is was Monkeys birthday. And he was insistent that we do something to celebrate. So we did.

Amazing Birthday Gift

I am so freakin' spoiled! I have the best husband ever (and not just because he gets me cool things, that's just a great bonus!). Yesterday he bought me this harp for my birthday/anniversary! He drove all the way to Indiana to get it. It's something I have wanted for a very long time, and I am so excited to learn how to play it! The question is, how am I every going to top this when it comes to gifts for him????

The Most Amazing Toaster of All Time

About a month ago, our toaster started to malfunction. And instead of doing the sensible thing and running to Target to pick up a plain old regular $20 toaster, I put Jordan in charge of the task. I should have known better.
Jordan spent the next few days checking Craigslist for THE toaster. Who wants a plain old toaster anyways? Did you know there are toasters out there that can poach eggs on the side? Anyways, after a few days of searching, he found IT. THE toaster. In Boston. For $65. Originally $200. Well, as luck would have it, Jordan's sister Lindsey is there for school. So she kindly agreed to go get it for us. It wasn't actually in Boston, but about 30 minutes outside of Boston. I guess a lot of people got a laugh out of the fact that she drove that far away... for a toaster... for her brother in Michigan.

On Tuesday, this beauty arrived in the mail. The Kitchen Aid Pro Line Series toaster.

This thing actually is pretty cool, for a toaster. It has some nice features that turn out some pretty dang good pieces of toast. And for that we had to do to get it, hopefully it lasts for a very long time. So if you have a craving for a good piece of toast, drop on by!
