Boys and Their Toys...

What is it with men and toys anway? All I want is a nap! I have lost the love of my two favorite men to a boat--yes, a boat. As you can see from the photos below, they both love it. Daniel is proud of his new toy and I'm proud for him--he's worked a ton of overtime to get it. :)





And if it's not boats, it's television....Owen and Dad watching what I'm sure was a fishing show....

Dressing and Driving

Sometimes I forget how much Owen can do for himself because I spend so much time doing things for him. As you all can see, he is learning to undress himself. We took a vacation day last week and had a fun lunch at Coolidge Park with Granna. Here are some pics of the park and of Owen getting out of his pajamas to get dressed before we went. He ALMOST got that shirt off.

Looking at the boats in awe...

Owen has also decided that he likes to "drive it", which is what he yells whenever Daddy pulls up in his truck. This kid is smart. He knows that if he begs enough, Dad will take him "driving" through the neigborhood. Hats off to Daniel for spending quality time with his little guy!

Growing Owen...

You know it's bad when you only blog after holidays! That should be an indication that the Bryant's are just too busy and need to slow down. So for anyone who is interested, here's what has been happening lately...the weather has gotten warmer and thank goodness because all Owen wants to do is stay outside, which is fine with me. We set up our new sand and water table (and had a small picnic--see the peanut butter face) and have also been riding our John Deere tractor. Owen's favorite thing to do, however, is to ride the lawnmower, which he generally just refers to as a "ride it". :) Here are some pics...

The Lazy Blogger

I've gotten lazy with this blogging stuff, but I think it's out of frustration at not being able to get my Christmas video loaded. I'm having issues. Anyway, I did get some good photos of Owen over the holidays and have decided to share those instead.

Finally...A Christmas Blog

Hi all! I have been a terrible blogger. Owen has been sick recently, as have I and Daniel, so since the holidays, I've been focusing on getting everyone healthy. Now that we are, I am going to be more faithful with my blogging. We had an amazing Christmas. It was very fun for Owen this year. Last year he was so tiny he had no idea what was going on...this year was a different story! He learned quickly how to open presents (thanks to EVERYONE for all of the great gifts, by the way) and he loves all of his gifts. My wonderful hubby chose a great gift for me this Christmas (something I've been eyeing forever)--a video camera! So I was able to get all of Christmas 2007 on video!!! Unfortunately I have yet to be able to get that video onto this blog but I'm working on it...so stay tuned!

Early Christmas

We started off the holiday season tonight with Daniel's Aunt Sandi and Uncle John, and their kiddos Nick and Kaci (and Kaci's boyfriend, Matt). After a good dinner at O'Charleys we returned to our house to exchange gifts. As you can see, Owen is loving his t-ball set, which I also appreciate because it's a good indoor or outdoor gift! Thank ya'll very much!!! :)

Playing Superman

Hi all--it's been awhile since our last post. We are doing well but have been very busy with the Christmas season. Owen took a break from Christmas shopping to play Superman. We use dishtowels (he prefers the Christmas red with reindeer) as capes! As you can see in the photos, today Superman was playing the bad guy and running away with Dad's remote control.
