Post 3 of 3 Happy Halloween!

Okay first off, there are three new posts because I'm SO far behind...

Here are some pictures from Halloween the other night. Bruce was a Starbuck's Barista. I made him a little green apron that was only slightly higher quality than a Sing Song costume. :-) I couldn't find him a good black cap so he had a beanie. Kind of made him look like a bandit so I referred to him as the Starbuck's Bandit.

Here he is with his good friend Indiana Jones...AKA Spencer at the Trunk or Treat at church.

Afterwards we headed over to Skyler's house to do a little Trick or Treating. After a few houses it was back to Skyler's house so the husbands could set up and scare kids. We've gone to their house every Halloween that we've been in San Antonio. The boys dress up and sit out front with the fog machine and scare kids as they come to the door. It's fun!

Here's Skyler saying "Cheese!" She was so sweet playing with Bruce. She was getting out her toys to share with him.

Bruce is definitely rollin' now! Here he is getting to the toys!

Post 2 of 3 So you think you can dance!

So I know...I'm a complete nerd. I'm okay with that. As my five year anniversary present from Greg, I got tickets to go see "So You Think You Can Dance" in Austin. My friend Misty and I watched the show the whole season so we went together to go see the tour afterwards.

I'm going to solidify my nerdiness when I tell you that I had an AWESOME time. It was so much fun! We didn't exactly have awesome seats, but it was still really cool. It was also nice to have a whole day with a great friend. We left after church and drove to Austin. We had a good time walking around IKEA and looking at stuff. After that we had a great dinner of some great Mexican food and headed to the show.

The show didn't even start until 8 so we got out pretty late.... but not too late to stop by and get some Tiff's Treats. I have a new love for this wonderful place. I was happy that Misty introduced me to it! Then we drove home. I didn't go to work until lunch on Monday, but Misty definitely went in bright and early Monday morning! I have to say, it was worth it!

Post 1 of 3 New Exersaucer and Baby Blessing

So we had a baby blessing at church, but of course I left the camera in the car so this is the only picture of Bruce from the day. He's reading with Francie. He's a big fan of books!

Here's a relatively updated video of Bruce in his Exersaucer. He's funny, he really likes to play in it. In this video he was way more interested in getting his hands in the pocket on the front of his outfit. All day he'd been messing with it and I finally realized he was trying to get his hands into the little "fake" pocket on the front. It was pretty funny.

Happy Belated Birthday to Francie...

Well I'm behind...of course. Here are a few pictures from a few weeks ago when Greg and I took my mom out for her birthday. Bruce has outgrown his carseat carrier so it poses quite a problem when we go to restaurants. He can't sit up yet, so the whole high chair thing doesn't work out so well. We usually just bring the carrier with us and let him sit in it while we're eating, but we forgot to grab it. We tried to prop him up in the high chair, but that didn't last too long. We still caught a couple of pictures of it.

We ended up getting the stroller out of the car and using that. But of course Francie had to get some holding time in too!

Bruce gets solid food!

Bruce got his first taste of solid foods over the weekend. He wore his special "I love my Grandpa" bib since Pops is in Japan for the next couple of weeks. He looks like such a big boy sitting up in his chair! The first few are at my parent's house and the last couple are back at our house.

This post is probably boring to everyone but me, but if I didn't post this kind of stuff I'd never remember!

Why can't dust be good?

As I am feverishly cleaning my house so that my coworkers can come over tomorrow I'm wishing that dust was something people liked. I mean, why can't people come over and say, "Wow, all that dust on that fake tree looks so good! You must have been saving for years to get that much!"

I am by no means a hospitable person, but I'm trying to be. We're trying to have people come over so that way I'm forced to keep my house clean. It's kind of working... I can't wait until Bruce is big enough to do the dishes. That's why you have kids right? That's why my parents had us...to clean the kitchen! Just kidding...kind of! :-)

Go Sooners!

My dad is an OU fan so I grew up cheering on the Sooners. As a result, Bruce is also an OU fan! His good friends Tammy and Spencer (and Cricket), the biggest OU fans, provided this awesome attire for him to wear during OU games.


Last night he was really getting into it, cheering them on. Okay, I'm lying, he was asleep...but he looked really cute! Robin wanted in on the pictures too!

Bruce LOVES Robin...and well Robin loves Bruce back. Last night Bruce "kissed a girl, not sure he liked it..." (side note, I hate that song, but it gets stuck in your head worse than any song I've ever heard!)
