Sweet Pea #2

Last week Ty and I were able to take a glimpse of our little pea. Ultrasounds are always fun. We watched the baby play with the umbilical cord and take lots of kicks and punches. By the end of the appt the baby was done and curled into a little ball. We decided to have the gender be a surprise again. The ultrasound tech afterwards told us she was unable to see for herself the gender. The baby was too active and wouldn't open their legs. 









I am such a slacker...

Well the title says it all.... so let's just dive right into it. The massive overload of pictures to catch up.

Bronson getting into his shoe fetish.

Cleaned out Bingo because it was disgusting. A bucket full of just garbage and vacuumed it.
While cleaning out our vehicles we let Bronson play in them. This kid is OBSESSED with cars. Really OBSESSED. Always loves to play in them while we work on them.  



One of his morning rituals is emptying out his toy box. This day he decided to bond with the duck. Other times he likes to jump on top of the box.  Now a days he dumps everything out and just walks away.

Mom couldn't take it anymore. Bronson hair doesn't comb and stay put and with his two cowlicks it's standing strait up. He got buzzed. Man it made him into a little boy. The haircut/buzz has grown up me and I think it's here to stay for while. 

Bronson quiet=into trouble. Ty found him playing with my eye liner, the little stinker.


Showing off his new church outfit. It was almost too big for him here, now it's almost too tight. Crazy what 3 months can do.

That's right folks.... Bronson is going to be a big brother. We are very excited for our new addition. Due date is April 11th. This is how we announced to our families. Good thing my brother Andrew was home to point it out to my mom while facetiming:)


My friend Rachel and I went and got ourselves some pedicures one day. I was actually suppose to work but got called off due to low patient status, Whoop Whoop!!! Since Ty was home from work and told me to beat it so he could spend time with Bronson, I took it and ran. Well sadly the next day my toe kind of got infected. It hurt pretty bad. After soaking it in epsom salt a couple times and squeezing out the puss, it went away. PHEW!

14 weeks prego.

Bronson checking out Uncle Kaden's girlfriend. As you can tell, it's very serious business. We all approve and are happy for him.

Bronson hit his head pretty good on the corner of the fireplace. Huge goose egg and bruise. Ty and I were surprised it didn't split open.

Ty pulled up some farm game for Bronson during conference. As you can see it was a winner.


Finally bought a nice pan for omlettes, yum! Also the homemade toaster struddel is a big hit!

Another beautiful sunset. 

Bronson making sure everyone gets a ride in his car



Picking the tomatoes in mid October. We were still having temperatures in the mid 70's.


The fit he threw when we needed to go inside and get dinner going.

The baby announcement I made for my work. Had this taped to a big ole bag of kettle popcorn from Costo

Grandma and Grandpa Day came for a visit. We always love and look forward to family visiting! Mom and I went to the mall and put Bronson into one of the cars. Wasn't so sure about it when the car started moving. Last weekend we went as a family to Fuddruckers for dinner and then walked by the bus again. This kid bee lined it straight to the bus and had a complete melt down when we left.

With my folks in town we took a 1 mile hike to a waterfall, about a 10 minute drive from our house. Pretty fall colors and super easy hike. Bronson walked most of the way. 




I threw a baby shower for my friend Rachel. Cody and Rachel are adopting a little girl and so very very happy it actually went through for them. Their little Violet was born at the end of November and handed right over to them. The birth mom signed the papers right away. We are just thrilled for them.
Soups, rolls, and lots of desserts were served. There was also a table set up to paint baby blocks. I was surprised at how many loved the blocks. They turned out really cute.



Some weird rash in the middle of my back, itched like a banshee!

Bronson fell into his toy box and couldn't help. Of course I couldn't help him out until I took a picture of it. He was pretty ticked:)

Bronson had a sleepover with Tim Bob again. These two are becoming fast friends. 


Jana caught some great pictures of our buddy.




At our Ward's Halloween Party. Henry and Jana came with Tim and had a good time.


Ty made this 'car' for his Halloween costume. Bronson thoroughly enjoyed it..... not.

Bronson ate it hard on the cinder blocks by our apricot tree. Like real hard. His forehead took most of the beating. His forearms also got it too. 



Ty threw his 'Eugene toast' away angrily one morning. Too bad my dad could have saved its life if he were here.

I guess it's cool now a days to play with this on your mouth...

If he wants to see, he will find a way. Not so sure about this new phase.

Tim's turn for a sleep over. So nice that they are actually interacting with each other. They entertain themselves pretty good.




Yay for El Modelo tamales, the best!




Eating something off the floor.


Grandma and Grandpa Smith in town for a visit, yay! We went out to eat at Weck's for Sue's birthday. Thank heavens Bronson was in a good mood.

This was tender. Right before church Bronson fell asleep sitting next to grandpa. This kid has never done that, never. He will only sleep in his car seat or his crib. Cute cute boys.

Bronson stole Grandma Sue's sunglasses and was sporting them around the place. 

Half-way mark

Thomas the Train is very much loved in our home.

Got some lighting for under our cabinets. Best thing ever!!! You can actually see what the heck you are doing.

Our game faces for Thanksgiving Day. Our friends and neighbors, the Conrads, invited us over to their place. Enjoyed a yummy meal and company with their extended family.

No clue why my ring keeps doing this to my finger. So sore and filled with blisters. It happens maybe once a year. I stop wearing my ring for 2 weeks and then it goes away. Go figure.


This is what 5:00 looks like at our place. A starving inconsolable child that can't wait a few more minutes for dinner. 


Our Christmas tree is up and running. Bronson hamming it up for the pics of his first ornaments given last year.


Tim over playing cars.


Picture taken just moments before Bronson almost ate it. Did the terrified mom yell of 'BRONSON!!!'

At our Ward's Christmas party. So much fun!  

Trying to reheat some of the potatoes from the party and found out this bowl is not microwavable.

Came across this picture in my baby book and had to do a double take. Not sure what birthday this is for me, but man is it me or does it look like Bronson is standing there. Kaden had to be Bronson's age in this picture. Very strange indeed.


Bronson taking his usual victory lap before his bath. silly kid.
