Wii Golfing Pro

We've had the Wii now for about a year, but have never let Bryson play it, just to try and keep it from becoming an addiction. Well, recently one weekend Mike and I were playing a Wii game of golf while the kids were taking a nap, and Bryson got out of bed and came out to the living room where he saw us. Of course, he then wanted to try it out. We let him play a round of golf, and he got pretty good. He loves it, so now it is a special treat for him to get to play. Here's a video of him playing a little Wii golf.

Watch Out Daddy!

Monster Trucks

A few weekends ago Mike and Bryson headed to Houston to see our friends, the Dunmires. They have a boy, Wyatt who is 6 months older than Bryson, and so Mike and Jason decided to take them to a monster truck rally because both boys love monster trucks! They had a great time!

When they got there, Bryson had his beloved puppy blanket with him when he walked in, and Wyatt has the same thing, so he ran upstairs and got it to show Bryson.

They each got a souvenir to take home. Wyatt got an El Toro Loco hat, and Bryson got a Maximum Destruction monster truck.





The boys with their ear muffs. It was loud in there!

Cuties!

Finley loves to walk around and climb up in the green kid chair in the living room. She is so proud of herself after she finally makes it up!
