B's 1ST Birthday Party

We had a small family party for Bryson. The weather was perfect for a bounce house outback. That entertained the kids the entire time and then to end the party we did a pinata. They all loved getting the candy of course. It was a fun little celebration for our sweet 1 yr old. We love you Bryson!

Heres 12 Things about our 12 month old:

1. He has only gotten his 2 bottom teeth.

2. He crawls all over the place, even up our stairs and pulls himself up to stand.

3. He is a very good eater. His favorite foods are-pizza, hotdogs, cheetoe puffs, avocado and apple sauce.

4. Least favorite food is bananas.

5. He loves to be thrown up in the air.

6. Has lots of ticklish spots.

7. Has this great deep loud laugh.

8. Likes to watch Wiggles and Blues Clues

9. Likes to play with balls and cars. He is all boy.

10. Loves all the attention he gets from his older siblings.

11. At his recent check up he was 16 1/2 pounds. The dr says he is underweight which is hard to believe since he eats all the time.

12. His nicknames are Puppy/ Pup (long story but the other kids thought he was more like a puppy when we brought him home from the hospital) and Brysones.

Were Gonna Miss Him

On February 24, 2011 my dear father in law...Carlos Garcia passed away. On March 5 funeral services were held in Chino, California. Allthough it was a sad day it was also a day of hope. I am so grateful for the knowledge of Families can be together Forever. We are going to miss him so much but what peace we have in knowing this is not the end.

I am blessed to of had such a wonderful father in law who treated me like his own daughter. He always had a smile on his face and never said an unkind word about others. One of the things I am most appreciative for is how he raised his children. He raised a righteous, loving, hardworking boy that I get to now call my husband. Infact Arlan reminds me a lot of his dad. Until we meet again Dads...You will always hold a special place in our hearts!
