Some day...

... I may get in here more often then every few months! For now, I am enjoying my time living life. Eric is doing well, keeping busy at work and VERY busy with his English Lit. class he's been taking at ASU. Maybe a little too busy. He is going to take a break for spring. This is just for fun, so it's not like he HAS to take a class. I am obviously keeping busy being a wife and mom. I also have been caring for a infant boy (now 3 months old) for a couple months during the week. Every so often I work a day at the spa on the weekends. Bryce keeps both of us busy when we think there is nothing left to do. He has grown so much lately and is such a funny guy. He has fallen in love w/his Wiggle shirt and has been wearing it for over 3 weeks now. Day and night. Yes, I do wash it, but not without a fight. For Halloween Bryce was Murray Wiggle, but as soon as the trick-or-treating was over he wanted his Wiggle shirt "back on!"

So we are all doing well, having fun, and working hard.

We'll miss G-ma & G-pa Eberhard!

Luckily we got G-ma and G-pa Eberhard all to ourselves the other day. They will be leaving for China in a couple days and will be gone for almost a year. Bryce is going to miss them so much. He think G-pa is SO COOL, and always wants to know where he is at. G-ma is fun to play trucks w/and he loves to show off for them too. We hope they get back home soon!




Bryce is TWO!!!





Ok, he's been two for almost two weeks now...but you know me! No, I'm not lazy, I'm actually a very busy person! :) Anyway, it was a special day and I am so very happy I got to share it with him. From his Birthday donut, cupcakes w/friends, Birthday dinner w/mom, dad, G-ma & G-pa Jenkins, to opening gifts before bed...it was a great day!!!

Ok, only two months have passed...not too bad!! haha

Summer is here!!! It's been near 115 for the past couple weeks. I use to not mind the heat, but now that I have an almost 2 year old to lug around too it's just no fun! We have been trying to keep cool by playing at the mall, friend's homes (or ours), visiting the library, swimming at the city pool (so fun! We also did swimming lessons for a couple weeks), and going to a splash pad at a park near our home. Last week we tried one of the "Summer Movies", just to see how Bryce would do. It was only $2 for the both of us and it was Shrek III. Bryce had fun eating popcorn (that I brought from home), a nectarine, a sucker and some fruit snacks. He probably would have enjoyed the movie more if it was the Wiggles or Elmo. He likes Shrek, he just didn't like some of the "mean" scenes. He doesn't like to see people or things get hurt, or yell, or fight, or make loud noises. Luckily the place was filled w/kids because at every "mean" scene Bryce would YELLLLLLLLLLLL "NOOOOO, NOOOOOO". We left after an hour and 15 minutes, mainly because by then he couldn't sit still and was getting goofy.


Eric is taking a Literature class on-line w/ASU this summer. Just because. He LOVES to read, so now he has a good excuse and enjoys chatting w/on-line classmates about their readings. They're on Shakespeare right now. He is also hiking like crazy still. Had fun in Flag this past weekend.

He also celebrated his 34th (OMG!!!) Birthday a couple weeks ago. We had a quiet little party for him at home.


I had to take a few classes to renew my massage license. That kept me pretty busy for the past month, now I am DONE!!

Bryce is growing like CRAZY!!!! He is such a little smartie. He is amazing w/his shapes, colors, ABC's, numbers, truck and car types, building choo-choo tracks, helping clean up, throwing away his trash without being asked (now to teach dad that!)...on and on. He is so much fun to be w/every day. He repeats EVERYTHING you say, so be careful! The best part is to hear him say "Love you". He is such a neat little boy, I can't believe he'll be two soon!!!!




We had a fun trip to Disneyland and Sea World just before Eric's birthday. This was Bryce's first time there. Still could have held off a couple more years, but Eric really wanted to take him. We went w/Eric's parents, sister and her daughter. Ashley and Kelly joined us at Disneyland one day, it was great to see them! We had fun and Bryce got to see a lot of new, fun things. Sea World was a bit more "run free" friendly and the beach was the best for him. Just makes me excited for when he gets older for the adventure parks. One sad thing that happened...Bryce whacked his head on a coffee table in the hotel room. Blood was everywhere and I was so scared when it happened (we were there alone for a nap). Luckily there was a paramedic on vacation down in the lobby when I ran down there. He helped clean Bryce up and said stitches wouldn't be worth it, although there will be a scar. It's through his eyebrow so I decided he'd be fine. He is healing nicely, but still talks about it.










Is that enough pictures?!?!?! Sorry, just so many cute ones to choose from!

Anyway, as usual, life is keeping us busy. We are all healthy, happy and having fun!

Vegas, baby!!

Bryce and I went to Las Vegas last week. We felt like a little gambling and wild nightlife. Haha! We actually had a wonderful week staying at Aimee's home along w/Kyra, Mac and Taft. There were so many fun things to do. One day we went to Bonnie Springs and saw some cool animals at their little zoo and a wild west show. Guess it's still too early for Bryce and Mac as they burst into tears during the gun fight. Another day we went to Springs Preserve and learned some very interesting things about the Las Vegas land. Bryce also really enjoyed himself since they had really great interactive things for kids.
During the time we weren't out roaming Vegas we got to enjoy peaceful playing at Aimee's house. Bryce REALLY enjoyed their bucket of cars and trucks. We could barely pull him away from it. The first thing he'd do when he woke in the morning was run out and look for that bucket! The backyard was perfect for the kids and they had so much fun feeding the goat and pony, digging in the dirt and rocks, swinging, playing soccer, running, eating Otter Pops, and enjoying the nice weather.

Thank you SO MUCH, Aimee, for taking such good care of us and showing us such a good time. And Thank you to Kyra, for inviting us to spend your spring break with you!

I had SOOOOO many fun pics that I'm just attaching a couple. If you go to my photobucket link you will find more.
