Bryson had his 1st Birthday on September 6th. He was born at 4 lbs 12 oz and was 15 1/2 inches long. Now he is 17 lbs 7 oz and is 27 1/2 inches long. He is still on the small side, but his pediatrician said he'll catch up to those his age when he is around 3. We had a great time on his birthday. We had alot of family there.....Great Grandpa Luthi and Great Aunt Tami drove from Wyoming to help celebrate. My brother Kirk and his kids-Brittany and Brookx (minus Angie, she was ill), Grandpa and Grandma Barron, Grandpa and Grandma Brown, Aunt Leesha, Uncle Nick, his babysitter Carrie and her daughter, Jaymie, our friends-The Kofe's all came to have fun with Bryson. We had a BBQ with hamburgers and hot dogs. We ate then opened presents.....then we all ate cake....after Bryson of course. It was a good day, Bryson was spoiled rotten....Grandpa and Grandma Barron built him a toy box and Grandma painted some sport stuff on the lid...it turned out AWESOME. He got clothes and a toy lawn mower (Dustin can't wait to put him to work in the yard...LOL) and a whole bunch of toys to play with. I am so blessed to have my son in my life. I can't imagine my life without him in it. Thanks to all that came and celebrated with us. And thanks for the gifts....Bryson loves them!!
Below are some of the pictures that were taken from that fun-filled day! ENJOY!!

Bryson's First Camping Trip and Jackson Hole
So.....once again....it has been a super long time since I posted. The entire month of August has been C-R-A-Z-Y. Every weekend we had something going on. It started with going with my parents and sister to Jackson Hole, WY and to the Bar J Wrangler. The following weekend was camping with Dustin's family at Coffee Pot in Island Park. Then we had the NICU Reunion the next...and so on and so on. Below are some pics from Jackson and Camping.
Bryson claimed his bed in Grandpa and Grandma Barron's trailer. This kid isn't stupid....this was the best one in the house.....it was the feather bed!! But, I saved them the headache and he slept with me. I will not be sleeping with this bed hog again....at least til next time :)
Bryson discovered the rocks in the tent area. He would get his hand swatted when he tried to put them in his mouth. Then I decided to put the little mitten part of his pj's over his hands so that he couldn't grab the rocks....then he got smart......
He decided to "pretend" to make rock/sand angels and then would put his face in the rocks and come back up with a mouthful of rocks and dirt. YUCK!!
This was before he figured out the whole rock angel technique. It was cute when he was making trails with his covered little hands.
Here's my little rugged cowboy. He has Uncle Nitz's cowboy hat on. He is so cute. It was a quick trip. We got there Friday night around 7:00. When we got there only Mike, Deanne, and Nick were there. But shortly later the rest of the family got there. Dustin's cousin, Cori and his 3 kids, Amanda, Andrew, and Megan.....his other cousin, Cherity and her 2 boys, Michael and Mason, and then his Aunt LaRae were there Friday night. We had a small campfire and then we turned in for the night. IT WAS A BAD NIGHT. Between Bryson and Brogan, Dustin and I each got MAYBE 2 hours of sleep. We decided to leave Saturday evening. We didn't want to have another night like that. Therefore, we probably won't be camping again.....well at least this year. Right after we left Saturday, Dustin's cousin Cari came up with her new husband, Aaron, her 4 kids, Kelsea, Tanner, Brittany, and Courtney and Aaron's 3 kids. WOW....it was a full house!!!
JACKSON HOLE
This is our little family in Jackson Hole with our new friend Bruce the Buffalo. It was cold, but it was a lot of fun spending the day there with my sister!
All of us under the Antler Arch. There must have been something more interesting behind us, because Bryson would NOT look at the camera, the poor tourists who took our picture were trying so hard to get his attention without any luck. My pictures from the Bar J didn't really turn out that well, therefore there are none of that. And we didn't get any from the NICU Reunion either.....I forgot my camera.....DUH!!!

Here they are....
So, like I said before....here are some of Bryson's 10 month pictures. They have been posted on my facebook page for a few days, so some of you might have already seen them, but I can't get enough of my little man!! He was being such a stinker pot....the Saturday shoot that was just of him....we were able to get a few smiles out of him, but not many....our family shoot, the following Tuesday...I don't think we caught one real smile!!! I don't know what was going on with him....and I knew that the evenings was when he is the crankiest....but SERIOUSLY....not one smile?! He was being very selfish with his smiles!! He wouldn't smile for ANYONE....not us, not the camera, his toys, his cousin Brittany....NOT EVEN HIS UNCLE "NITZ".....so, I guess we won't be having an evening photo shoot anytime soon! Anyway, here are a few of them.....we think he's pretty cute, but then again.....who doesn't....LOL.
This was Bryson's very first time in water, other than the bathtub....he wasn't very fond of it at first, but then got used to it and was splashing in the water and having a good time. It was cute! Thanks Lisa again for doing his pictures.

Bryson's 9 Month Pictures
Hello all!!!
My friend Lisa Soucie is a photographer and I had her do Bryson's 9 month pictures. We went to the railroad track by the river, the Pier at Snake River Landing, also the water feature at Snake River Landing, and then back to our house for some studio pictures. Since I haven't had a chance to post them on my blog, and won't be able to until after the holiday,you can go to her blog http://www.endlessmomentsphotography.blogspot.com/. She did a great job, although it was like pulling teeth to get him to smile....little stinker!! I think they are so very cute (but once again I am biased)!! Thanks Lisa for taking his pics....and for taking the family pics too....that was an event in itself....Bryson just wasn't having any of that either....I don't think he likes the camera much....probably because he has had a camera in his face since the day he was born....ahhh....it must be horrible to be loved so much!

Bryson, Grass and Slip 'N Slide Fun
I have tried to put Bryson down on the grass a few times, since the weather has been nice.....and he wasn't enjoying it....AT ALL. I would set him down on the grass and as long as his "skin" didn't touch it, he was fine, but if I put him down on his hands and knees, the tears and screaming started coming! It was funny to watch because he would stick one leg straight out, holding up from touching the grass, and once he got his balance, he would do the hand. He don't mean to sound disgusting, but he looked like our dog when Brogan would go to the bathroom and raise one leg....heck, maybe Bryson was trying to copy Brogan...Ha Ha Ha. It was cute and I shouldn't laugh at my son, but it was seriously funny!!
So, on Wednesday, all of our neighbors were hanging out at the Kofe's house and the kids were playing in the kiddie pool and Slip 'N Slide. So, I decided to risk my chance of Bryson crying and put him on the grass. He didn't cry, but he put one foot in the air as if the grass was too hot for his foot to touch it. He then saw the kids and started, slowly, crawling over to the Slip 'N Slide. He actually didn't care that he was getting wet, so I let him play....it was so cute, these are the pics I got....sorry there are so many of him (and they are kinda the same, but it was his first time!!)
We decided to put Bryson on the Slip 'N Slide, but he didn't like it so much and started to cry a bit....
So we took him off and put him on the grass again...then, sure enough.....he started crawling over to the Slip 'N Slide again....silly kid...I think he liked the water more than the slide.
Here, he is drinking the water.....like Brogan....geez, he chews the coffee table, holds his leg up like he is peeing when put on the grass, now drinks like Brogan....wow, our puppy is influencing Bryson more than we know!!
Hopefully the weather will continue to be nice so that we can continue to play outside! We had fun playing in the water....Thanks everyone for letting us play!!
