A little of this, a little of that!

Well, I have been harassed by my sister for the last little while because I have not been a faithful blogger these last few months. You see, I have a problem. I am addicted to Facebook......and recently, I am embarrassed to admit....but Yoville on Facebook. It is a really fun way to meet new people, for instance, I have met a girl from Costa Rica, who is going to nursing school in Dallas, TX. We have chatted quite a bit lately, and I really enjoy getting to know different people. But, I needed to show some much needed attention to my poor blog....so here is a little of what we have been doing the last 2 months....honestly, we are quite boring, but here it goes.

We went to my cousin Shane's wedding in Salt Lake City this past weekend. It was a really good time. I am so happy for Shane and Jessica, they are so cute together!! She is from Peru, but they met each other in a singles ward in Utah. We met her for the first time the day before the wedding and she is the sweetest girl!! She and her family welcomed all of Shane's family into theirs with open arms. They got sealed in the Salt Lake City Temple.....they did the ceremony in both English and Spanish....which was pretty awesome.
We wanted to surprise Shane with having our Grandpa Luthi there right after they got married, both Shane and Jessica were under the impression that he wouldn't be able to make it until the reception later that night. But...we are so sneaky and surprised both of them!! It was a wonderful thing to experience.....EVERYONE was crying once Shane saw grandpa.....it was so neat. Jessica is so sweet, when she found out that Grandpa was there, she dropped what she was doing and ran to meet him....these are the pics I got during the glorious event. It was bitter-sweet that day, Grandpa had made it to the wedding of Shane and Jessica, but my sweet Grandma was there in spirit and we felt her so very close that day!! If you read this Shane, I know that Grandma is so very proud of you, of all of you accomplishments in life and is so excited for you to start your life with your new bride. Jessica, welcome to our family.....we are so lucky and blessed to have you be apart of it!!

This is just a pic of Bryson actually SITTING in the bathtub. That is something new that has happened since I last posted. He sits by himself now!!! YEAH!!! Although, there are times that he falls over, but for the most part, he is a big boy and sits by himself. Just this weekend actually, he started going from the sitting position to his side, to his tummy....it is only a matter of time before he starts crawling. He LOVES his bath time. He likes to splash in the water and get mommy soaked. I am not thrilled about that part, but hey....comes with the territory I guess.....He is growing up so fast.

This pic was snapped by Dustin. He had put Bryson in the jumper and left the room for just a minute and when he got back, this is what he found. Poor little man. He was ASLEEP!! He loves to jump, that he tires himself out!! It was so funny!!

While we were in SLC, we had to take advantage of my parents hotel swimming pool. This was Bryson's first time swimming. We didn't stay in very long, because the water wasn't that warm. Poor little guy was shivering so bad when we got him out....all the thanks goes to Grandma Brown for getting him back to the "heated" room to dry off and change him into dry clothes while Dustin, Alecia, Dad, and my sister's roommate, Jessica, got in the hot tub. (My mom, being the wonderful grandma she is, had cranked the heat up before we went to the pool so that when we got back, it would be super warm...way to be pro-active mom!! Thank you so much!!!

Well, there you have it. Told you ...... we are boring!! We had a good Easter weekend, quick, but good. Bryson is growing so big so fast!! He is still pretty small for 7 months, only about 14 pounds and about 25 inches long. He sits, laughs, and every once in awhile, I swear he says "momma"......I am still working on that though. We are so blessed to have him in our lives and don't know what we did to fill our time before we had him. We hope everyone had a good Easter and I will try not to go so long before I post again.....Love you all, and thanks for being patient with my lack of blogging!!! Love you all!!!

Bryson is 5 months old!!

My sweet little man turned 5 months old on February 6th. He has been such a blessing to Dustin and I. We are so happy to have him in our family. Bryson is such a good baby.....my mom does not understand how I got him, cause I guess I was a little terror....not sleeping thru the night until I was 2 years old, colicky, you know, all of that fun stuff.....but yet, Bryson, he has been sleeping thru the night since he was 2 months old. I know that will probably change as soon as he starts really teething and cutting teeth. And as for his acid reflux.....he seems to be doing better with that too. The only thing with Bryson is he has a cold at LEAST once a month. It is so scary, because of his little premature lungs....we have to be extremely careful so he doesn't get RSV. If you ever see Bryson smile.....it melts your heart. He truly smiles with his entire face....it is so dang cute!!! We can't wait until he starts to crawl and walk....wait, I will NEVER be able to keep up with him then.....I better take that back!

Miche Bag Open House--One bag...Endless Possibilities!

Hey girls!! I am having a Miche Bag Open House on Saturday, January 17th from 2:00-4:00 PM. If you are a fan of bags and purses, then these are perfect for you! You choose either a brown or black bag and then choose from numerous styles of "shells" to attach to your bag. So you can change the look of your purse everyday if you would like to. I thought they were pretty expensive, but at these parties you can get different "bundles" that are reasonably priced. You can check out the website--- www.michebag.com--- to see all the different kinds you can get. The bags for the parties are cheaper then the website shows, so don't get to overwhelmed! It was a great surprise when I got my hostess package and saw that I could get a base bag and 2 shells for $60 (you are paying for the base bag and 1 shell and getting a shell free in this bundle). But contact me or call me if you have questions. Hope to see you there!!!

Bryson is 4 Months Old!!

Geez, time sure flies. It does NOT seem like Bryson is 4 months old! Crazy! He has grown so much the last few months. We had his check-up and shots today. On December 6th, we had to take him to the doctor because he had been sick and we thought he was dehydrated, and he weighed 9 lbs. Today, he weighs 11 lbs 2 oz and is 21.5 in long. HOLY HANNAH! I thought maybe 10 lbs, but when the nurse told me 11, I was amazed at my little man. He still isn't on the growth chart, but the doctor said he is following the "curve" perfectly. For a preemie, he is doing wonderfully.......especially in his developmental growth. He got his shots as well, and those, weren't so great. He sobbed so hard......I felt so bad for him. I don't think him being hungry helped the situation either. My little man is gonna have a sore little leg tonight, but is doing well so far.....and has forgiven me for the whole shots thing, cause he is still smiling and jabbering to me :) HE IS SUCH A LITTLE STUD!!

FINALLY!!

I know, I know, it has been a very long time since I have posted, well actually "posted" pictures. What can I say.....Christmas, family, and yes......Facebook.....but I think that I have gotten to the point to where I can manage both of them. I have done a few posts with Christmas pics, hope you don't get bored. I hope you all had a Merry Christmas!! Above is Alecia with Bryson on Christmas Day, She just loves him and vice versa.
With Uncle Nitz on Christmas Day. Just the "boys" chillin. No big thing....ha ha.
Brogan and Bryson are beginning to be the best of friends.

My Little Santa Clause

Poor Bryson, he has to be getting annoyed of the camera always being in his face, sorry bud...I can't say that it will end soon. Sorry!
Dustin holding Bryson in Dustin's Stocking. Granted this is an over sized stocking.

Santa Claus came to our house!!!

The Monday before Christmas, Dustin's office was having Santa Claus come for all of the employees children to have pictures with. We were so excited that Bryson was going to get his picture taken with Santa for his 1st Christmas. Unfortunately, there was a bad snow storm and the roads were horrible and we didn't get Bryson to Dustin's office. We were both pretty bummed that Bryson didn't get to sit on Santa's knee. But to our surprise, Nick, Dustin's brother arranged a relative, to dress up as Santa and come to our house to meet Bryson. It was so wonderful. We got a family picture with Santa, that we wouldn't have gotten at Dustin's office. So we want to thank Uncle "Nitz" for a wonderful Christmas memory.....you truly made our son's first Christmas very memorable.
