Bryar and Bridger Halloween night. Bryar was Cinderella and Bridger was Prince Charming. I am pretty proud of his costume. His shoulder pads turned out great and he looks so very cute. And yes we did spray his hair brown. What Prince has blond hair? I just posted a lot of pictures below I don't think they all need and explanation.

Carving pumpkins at the Stoney house. Bridger would only take about one seed at a time at the beginning but he got the hang of it at the end when we made him grab more. Bryar drawing her face on there before we cut it. Of course I didn't follow her lines.

Dad and Bridger working on their pumpkin.

Finally grabbing more than one seed.

Bridger liked to eat as much as anything. I got a few pictures of him grabbing chuncks and eating them.

Painting at the Stoney house. We just had a fun day where paint just can't seam to stay on the paper.

Happy Birthday Bryar last Thursday. Bryar turned three and had a great birthday. This is her blowing out her candles. Just cute and with her cake.

She got a few things I knew she would love and one was a stethoscope. She loves to play Dr. and knows a lot of her bones. She will ask Bridger all the time to lay down so she can check his heart. Previously she has just leaned her ear over. But after her present she got to use her new toy. Bridger was a good sport all day laying for her to get his heart and lungs checked. He also gave some blood and got 3 cc's of medicine. It was an after thought present but it was the favorite one.

She got some princess dolls that she also plays a lot with. They have tiny time slippers that I keep finding everywhere. Yea the kind of toys that I love. But she likes them and anything about princesses is great to her.

It has been awhile so here are a few updates. I don't know why I wait so long I do have some cute pictures. It is getting those pictures from the camera to the computer that is the hard part.

First post that is very important and I know you all care about is our laundry detergent. Joe bought a washer and dryer just before we got married and with them came a three year supply of Tide. It has been very nice and last month I had to buy laundry detergent that we had to buy for the first time since we got married four and 1/2 years ago. Those were some nice pennies in our pocket. Here is Bryar's room that we have finally finished. We painted a long time ago. I was just waiting for the pictures to complete the look to post what we have done. Thanks Joe's mom for the cute bugs and butterflies that are framed and on the bottom 1/3 of the bedding.

Just a picture of Bryar in a cute dress her Aunt Tonia made for her. Good job on the dress (it was Tonia's first one).

And a cute picture of Bridger just growing up and being so cute.

Here we are dancing around. I got some cute pictures of Bryar and Bridger dancing away. They love to dance and always want to listen to music and they really get into it.Bryar always has to have a princess dress on and princess shoes. Luckily she is easy to convince that all her dresses are princess dresses. I convinced her that all the princesses all have their peasant dresses so if the dresses doesn't go up very high when she spins, she will call it her peasant dress. So she is always a princess.

dancing continued...

Bridger getting his hair cut. It is not his first it is actually his third but he was so cute that I decided to post it.

Just hanging out in Alabama I guess. It is still pretty hot around here so we stay indoors a lot. And when it isn't too hot it is raining. Hurricane season is starting up so we are getting rain here. Life is good here. Bridger just got over his double ear infection. Thank you Tonia for the information on the oils that helped with the healing and the pain. You are awesome. Bryar is talking like crazy and using big words. Some of her sentences are pretty funny. The other night Joe and I put the kids down and sat down to watch a movie together. It was a few minutes into the movie and Bryar pokes her head around the corner and says, " Can you turn of the movie it is waking me up and I can't sleep". It was pretty cute. True since the TV is on the wall of her bedroom but just funny. Joe is still in the middle of his course at work and not getting much flying time because of the rain but it looks good today so hopefully he will get some. I am getting ready for some birthdays. I think I am going to sew Bryar some dresses because that is all she will wear right now. It has to be a princess dress. Luckily all dresses are princess dresses so she has a few. It just looks like she is going to church everyday. So that will be my spare time for a little while. Hopefully I can make some for her just to run around in so we can save some of the nice Sunday ones for Sunday. That is the update for today!

It has been awhile but we are ready to roll here. We have been on vacation for the last two weeks of July to Vegas, Utah and Wyoming. It was long and fun and lots of driving. It took a little time to recoup from the traveling but we are getting back slowly. Joe was promoted to CW3 on Wednesday. We are sooo proud of him and the living he provides for this family. Congrats to him and we love him. Our vacation was a blast the only thing we wish we could have done that we didn't was see our good friends the Lenahans. Sorry but hope to see you guys soon. Or next year when we come out. The kids have been sick this week as well so they are recouping also. Joe is working hard at school and work. He just finished an online class Wednesday and is working on the new mike model blackhawk class and has four more weeks with that and then maybe he can take a break in the studying department. Oh no he can't he will be starting up another class online on the 15th. No worries he will soon have school done and have another accomplishment under his hat. I luckily don't work so I just sit around here eating bon bon's all day. Isn't that what homemakers do?
