Swimming!

Summer is in full swing! How fun! I have been in a super funk lately and so grumpy. But some friends of ours called and invited us over to swim and hang out, figured I couldn't take my funk out on everyone else and we loaded up and headed out once Bridger woke up.

He didn't waste no time wanting to jump in the pool. He had such a blast and swam as long as we let him. He was shivering so bad I had to make him get out and he was so upset. Poor baby.

He was so hilarious! They have a slide and Bridger went down it with NO fear! He wanted up on it and I was so nervous - but he had no fear, he wanted go down right away! He loved it so much!

Bridger's Birthday Thank you Card

This year we were way more organized and in order. Maybe because we live here and we don't have to travel with new toys and a kiddo. This was Bridger's thank you card that he sent out to everyone to thank them all for coming, spending the day with him and for all the wonderful presents. He was definitely blessed!

Time with cousins & Ryans 2nd Annual JTS Tourney

 Fathers day weekend 2012 was spent with Bridger hanging out with his cousins. It was Ryans 2nd annual JTS Tournament with all of the guys/family. They look forward to this weekend all year long I think. Haha. Its a big deal and it means a lot to all of the guys. This year the stories were still good but not as good as last year when his grandpa and Sid went. That was hilarious. I'm glad that they got to do that and have that time together.

When they were away we were at home hanging out with Bridger's cousins. He doesn't get to see them as often since they live in Houston. Bridger is such a friendly little boy. He sees anyone and wants to play with them. He was happy to see his cousins and wasted no time jumping in and playing with them. They had a blast on his water slide all weekend. Bridger loves loves loves boys - so he tried to rough house with the big boys for awhile....then he just went off on his own. ha. he is so fun and silly. I know he enjoyed it.

Once daddy and the guys got home they played for awhile too! All the boys were in heaven!

This picture cracks me up!! Such Harris's!

Warming up to his cousins.......

Being 2 years 1 month......

It seems like now that Bridger is 2 - its a whole new world! He seems happier, but I feel like he can communicate better - which will in turn make him happier right? He tells us all kinds of things and asks us questions and knows how to tell us what he wants and doesn't want. He still gets mad a throws a tantrum here and there, but I think that is more of his natural anger shining thru. ha.

He is so funny and has little quirks about him that make him even more silly. He loves going in his daddy's truck. He cries and kicks when we try to take him in my car - he points to Ryans truck and says Dada's truck. Once we are in the truck - he wants the sun roof open, or the window down. Really? You are old enough to know that you want that? I guess these are little things he and his daddy do when I'm not there - b/c he loves it and knows all to well about it.

More Recently he has learned how to get out of his straps in his car seat. The one in my care are harder to move but this one- he has down packed! Once he is tired of being in the car, or wanting out - we get this ........

Then I have to get back there with him and supervise. Which really makes him mad. Such a stubborn little boy.

Now in the mornings when he wakes, the very first thing he wants is a "nak" (snack). He whines and whines until you walk to the kitchen with him and let him pick which one he wants. Anything you show or give him, he says no - this will continue on and on...even when you run out of new ideas....it is way easier to prop him up on the counter and let him choose his own "nak"....which is usually always a cereal bar. He sure is funny.

Bridger also knows who he wants to love on and when. Usually when it is just he and I - I am his best friend, he loves on me over and over again and kisses me and tells me he loves me. If Ryan is home and with us - I become chop liver. Sometimes he doesn't even want me to talk to him and yells at me if I do. What the heck? Or I try to console him and give him his blankie- nope - its gotta be daddy giving him whatever he wants. He screams more if I try. What in the world? He sure is a silly boy.

He found daddys hat one night on our bed....(now that he can get on it and off of it on his own).

Notice the shoes. This is another thing. He loves wearing his shoes.......usually crocs. They are super easy to slip on and off. He freaks out if he doesn't have them on and knows not to leave the hosue without them, but the excessive wearing with his jammies is a bit much. One afternoon I got him up from his nap- and his shows were on. seriously B?

If we go somewhere after daycare I like to go home and change him out of his "play clothes" and dress him in his nice clothes....we fight everytime. He hates changing. I dont understand. It takes 2 seconds. He also can't stand not having a shirt or shorts on. haha....strange little boy - I love him so much with all of his quirks. He is perfect.

Family Day

This past weekend Daddy was actually home! It was great!! He has been so busy working and then his guys trip....we finally got him to ourselves! We decided to head to the beach. Bridger loves the beach and so do I!

It has been so hot out so the only thing you want to do is sport your swim suit! it is too hot to get all dressed and hang out outside. The beach was perfect. I could probably go everyday. I like the peacefulness of it though, I dont like to go party and hang with the party people, we like our calm quiet time. We went 15 miles down the national seashore...it took us about an hour as the beach was pretty rough and tore up and the tide was too high to drive down low by the water line......

I was surprised by the greenery! I don't know where it came from or why - or how, but i seriously don't ever remember seeing this much green on the beach. I thought it was so odd!!

We played out in the water some and B loved it of course!! This time we brought one of his bestfriends!!! She really enjoyed this and the time with Bridger!!!

We even dug some holes, tried to build sand castles and just played in the sand. It was great! We had the best time and stayed for quite awhile. Little boy definitely went to bed early this night! I love beach days so much!!!
