Bryant's Birthday

Happy Birthday Bryant!

Happy Birthday Bryant!

It was time to PUMP IT UP!

Bryant had his birthday party at his favorite party place... Pump It Up.

The kids all love Pump It Up because they can be wild and crazy.

They can race down the slide... boys against girls.

Bryant particularly loves the inflatable boxing.

Here's Bryant and MJ getting ready to enter the ring.

And here are the boys just being boys!

This picture is especially for Karsyn. She and MJ are old friends :)

We are so lucky to have such great friends in our lives. Bryant holds each of his friends near and dear. We only wish our friends, McKenzie, Delanie, Carson and Cassidee could have come from Utah to party with us.

Stay tuned for tomorrows post where you'll see pictures of what the adults did at Pump It Up.

The Flaming Whales

Bryant is playing his first year of soccer.

He is awesome. Last game he scored 12 goals!
He is a natural (he must take after me... a varsity soccer player in high school :) )
The coach let the kids pick their own team name.

As only kids could do... the picked out a hilarious name.

I introduce to you... THE FLAMING WHALES!

(flaming because they have flames on their uniforms and whales because they are blue)

At his first game, Bryant saw his friend Patrick.

Friends for now... but on October 4th they'll be opponents playing on opposite teams.

Call me if you want the soccer schedule. Bryant would love to see you at one of his games!

Bryant's First Day of School...

I'm a little late posting this... but I want to get it on here for Bryant's grandma in Alabama to see.

Here's Bryant outside waiting to go to his first day of Kindergarten.

Always the ladies man, Bryant had to pose outside his school for pictures with Krystel and Shyanne!

He looked so little in the big hallways!

Here is Bryant and his teacher. He already has a crush on her!

Bryant was excited to see his name on a cubby. It made him feel special.

All kindergartners had to have a hearing test... but Bryant was ready to move on and get to the "fun stuff."

Bryant is enjoying school. He's ticked that they haven't had any homework yet. But as we all know, homework will come soon enough!!

He's learning sight words and will probably be reading before we know it.

Here's to a great year in Kindergarten!

The Idaho State Fair

We love to go to the fair (except Zac... he HATES the fair).

Bryant loves the rides and the animals...

I love to watch all the people.

This year I told Bryant he could invite a friend to go on rides with him and he chose his Uncle Austin.

Bryant thought it was really cool this because he was finally tall enough to go on almost all of the adult rides.

It might have been fun for him... but it was not fun for his mom.

See this ride...

Watch this video...

It was enough to make me almost want to have a heart attack.

My cute little 5 year old was on that huge huge ride... and he LOVED IT.

The other rides Bryant and Austin went on were a bit calmer.

And on certain rides that made Uncle Austin sick... Bryant found pretty girls to ride with. (This son of mine is no dummy :) )
It was super super hot... over 100 degrees... so we had to stop often to cool off.Ganny even came out and enjoyed the fair.

She wanted to buy a set of those Ginsu kitchen knives they are always demonstrating and hocking at the fair... but nope... they didn't have them this year!


We hung out and played for over 6 hours... and wisely left just before the pre-pubescent chaos over the Corbin Bleu concert started.
