Better Late than Never....Right?

Okay, so I am so lazy when it comes to the blog. I never posted Christmas, New Years, or Birthday pictures. So, here is the long and short of it...

For Brian's 30th birthday I threw him a surprise party at Lone Star Steakhouse in Owasso, and I hired this comedian to come. She was so funny! Her name was Bertha, and she acted like she knew him from high school. One line she used was "don't you remember me, Skiatook High School? I was a cheerleader. You used to tell me you liked my pom-poms!" And, she shook her chest - it was hilarious. I thought he was going to kill me, but he played along really well. Here are some pictures of him from the party!

Brian and Bertha!
She sang a couple of songs to him - so funny!

New Year's Eve:

We went to my Aunt Tracy and Uncle Rocky's house. We had such a good time playing Apples to Apples and then some other game I sucked at. Brian played poker, and the kids played Rock Band (well, Bryson and Jamison watched Rock Band and danced). Bryson of course did not go to sleep until 12:45 a.m.

We have this tradition at Tracy's that right before midnight we pour everyone a glass of grape juice (some adults may have cheated and had the real stuff) and put on our hats and grab poppers and horns. Poor Bryson could not figure out which end to blow in on the horn. He would blow and just make the noise himself!

Now, he's got it right!

Bryson and Jamison checking out Rock Band - can we please go next?!?!?!

Christmas:

We had six Christmases besides ours to go to - it was wild! Bryson was so worn out! I tried at every house to get a picture of him opening a present up completely by himself, but he would start and then walk away and start on another. Leaving me to finish the unwrapping. Brian's parents' house was our last stop, and I had just finally given up and put my camera away when I notice Bryson sitting still for awhile. He had opened up a present all by himself, and then opened the box and brought me his shoes saying "Mommy shooooes, Mommy shooooes!" I love this kid - he gets excited about a new pair of shoes (so my child)!

Brian's dad found these new tackle boxes full of stuff at the school they were just giving away, so he took a couple. I don't think he really looked in them because below is one thing that was in Brian's (a magnifying glass-insert joke here). Bryson had so much fun with it. Oh, there was also a phone, wrench, and other misc. stuff in the box.

Elmo talks to me mommy!

Cheesin it in front of our tree!

And, now I leave you with a little Rock Band!

Happy Birthday Babe!

My hubby will turn 30 tomorrow!!!! He has no idea what is coming his way (will post more on that next week)! We have been married for 7 1/2 years and despite the ups and downs I still love him with all my heart! I still sometimes look at him and think I can't believe we finally ended up together! This past October was our 10 year dating anniversary - that is just crazy!

I love you Brian Keith, and thank you so much for giving me the most wonderful gift - our little man Bryson! You are a great dad and you will be such a great friend to our son! He just loves to follow you around so you will play with him! When Bryson wakes up in the morning and sees me he will put up his hands and say "Daddyyyy"! It is so cute!

This was at the Tulsa State Fair. I know it does not look like it, but Bryson is actually laughing.
Happy 30th Birthday - Love you!!!

Happy Birthday Katie!!!

Today is Katie Marie's 20th Birthday! She is no longer a teenager (in age, but she still acts like one)! j/k! We have a big girl's night out planned to eat at Cheesecake Factory and then go see Bride Wars! I can't wait!!

I love you Katie Marie. You are not only my sister, but you are my best friend! I love all of our late night conversations and Grey's Anatomy watching time! Oh, and did I mention I love discussing our obsession with Edward Cullen (Twilight talk - sorry)! You are a beautiful person inside and out! I hope you have a wonderful birthday - next year is the big one! :)
