Poor Baby!

My little sicko snoozing in her swing.

I am home today since Brynlee is not feeling well. She has been pretty good but a little whiny. Right now she is sleeping in her swing. I wish she could get over this respiratory virus it has been hanging on for two weeks. Just thought I would do a few posts since I have a few minutes while she is sleeping.

Football at Lucas Oil Stadium!!!!!

Bryson and his women!!


The "official Colts Fan" he told us it was official now that he has been to a game.

Doesn't it just look cool to be on the field!

Thanks Tanya for this shot!!

2008 Olympia Varstiy Team

Bryson and Brock had a GREAT day at the Colts game. The Colts won which made it even better. Brock is a huge Colts fan so this was the ultimate day for him. Bryson is a Dolphins fan so he said "it would be better if the Dolphins were playing." Tim and I promised to take him to a Dolphins game next time they were in the area and he told us no............it had to be IN Miami!! Tim didn't argue too much considering he is a huge Dolphins fan too! We hit the road early in the morning and had a really quiet bus! The other buses were really loud. The first thing Bryson saw when we walked in was the Cheerleaders. He went over immediately to get their autographs!! He was so funny and giddy with them it was hilarious! Then of course we had to hit the souvenirs stand. Thanks to PaPa and Buddy who gave the boys some spending cash. We watched the Colts game and then it was time for the Spartans to take the field! The boys were exhausted before they even hit the field but played a good game. It was pretty cool being down on the field.
I asked the boys what their highlight of the day was. Brock was flipping through the Colts end zone. Bryson with a HUGE smile on his face said "THE CHEERLEADERS", my baby is growing up! The highlight for us was the smiles on their faces. We had a great time!

This was Brock's ultimate dream, flippin through the colts end zone!!! Maybe someday he'll be in a Colts uniform.............hey a mom can dream!

The Cutest Lady Bug Ever!

We got Brynlee's Halloween costume last night! Could she look any more adorable? I know I am her mom and a little bias but come on she is so cute in this thing!

Football, Football, and more Football!

Brock is #59
Just before he got the guy with the ball!
Bryson's team huddle. He is #65.
Bryson on the line he is the 1st one on the left side.

One of the cutest Spartan fans!!!

Since August we have been in full swing with football. Practice is three nights a week and since both boys are playing we have games on Saturday and Sunday! Bryson and Brock are both doing great. Bryson has an awesome set of coaches and is loving this year. Brock is not too sure but I think we have him convinced to try it again next year. Next week Bryson's team is playing at the Indianapolis Colts stadium. That should be really cool! I thought I would share some pictures from their games since I had a little extra time to blog today. Princess is still sick and sleeping right now so I thought I would hop on.

Wednesday Night Lights!!

19-0 Go Spartans!!


Brynlee and Ashley

Josh #53 and Bryson #65

All wrapped up in our blankets!

He was a little sweaty after the game!

Bryson's Football team got to play under the lights tonight. He was so excited, well actually we all were. I know it won't be long and he will be playing every Friday night! I can't wait!!! His team did great. It was a lot of fun watching the team play. The lights made it seem more like a true football game. Thought I would share a few pictures from the fun night!

Happy 1st Birthday Brynlee!

(Did you notice the hair gets longer and bows get bigger as the pictures go down!!)

One year ago today two mother's lives changed forever. One gave the greatest gift one could ever give and the other received it. I will forever hold a special place in my heart for Brynlee's birth mom. I have thought of her so often today and wondered how she is doing, and what she is thinking. It does not seem like a year has gone by. It went so fast. The day she was born we waited and waited for what seemed like eternity and now she is one! She is such a wonderful part of our family. She is so funny and happy, our lives are truly blessed. She has completed us. God is so giving and for that we are thankful. Happy Birthday Baby Girl you were worth every waiting minute!

Memories

One year ago tonight we were telling the boys the news that they would maybe be getting a little sister. I remember how excited they were and then we told them NO ONE could know about it. We never dreamed they could keep the secret but they did! They recorded a little greeting for the birth mom that we would show her the next day. I remember being so scared that it was all going to fall through again like it had in the past. We flew out on Wednesday at 10:30am not knowing exactly what God had in store for us! We got there around 1ish and started to find our way to Athens. Which we quickly learned was home to the Georgia Bulldogs! We checked into our room, called the boys and told them we made it, and we were on our way to meet the birth mom for supper. We got to Applebee's. I was so nervous I was sick. Tim grabbed my hand and in we went. We went in to meet the wonderful young lady that would give birth to our daughter the next day. I was/am so amazed by her and the strength she had that night. We laughed, ate, and got to know a little more about one another. One thing was very clear she loved her little girl more than anyone will ever know. She had more courage than I will ever see again. She watched the video greetings from the boys and then we went our separate ways. The next day would change our lives forever.......................

This was Brock's crazy video to Melinda. He was so excited and was such a nut that night. He did do one where he was calm after this one. We showed her the calm one first then the goofy one to show her how Brock really is. Bryson's was much more calm. I am so upset I can't find his anywhere. I am hoping it is on the video camera, or a CD somewhere. Enjoy!

We're still here!

We are still alive. We are gone EVERY night for practice with the boys, and then games on Saturday and Sunday. I am working on a post for the big event on Saturday! I can not believe Brynlee is going to be one. She is already in her sassy phase so I am scared to think of what 13 will be like. I promise pictures and more posts soon.
