A Day in the Life of Bryce

Today, I picked up Kim's son, Bryce, from Daycare and took him for lunch at McDonald's and swimming at my parents' house. Oh my goodness, how much energy three year olds have.

After lunch, I took him to my parents, got Brody changed, and all four of us went swimming. My brother, Michael, was there to pitch in and be an extra playmate. Brody hung in there for awhile, but it quickly went downhill when we realized it was Brody's lunchtime. He took a bottle and went down for a nap.

So...down to the three of us, we played "football" in the pool with everyone tackling Bryce. After swimming and Brody's nap we headed back to my house to watch Eggo and Infinity and Beyond (aka Diego and Toy Story). Bryce saw Ken's four-wheeler in the back yard and of course wanted to go for a ride. So I told him, once Ken came home they could go. So about every 20 minutes or so, or whenever he got a glimpse of the four-wheeler, I heard "Coooole, when's Keen coming home?" Yes, Bryce calls Ken, Keen, like rhymes with teen. Too funny! So when he did finally get home Ken took him around the neighborhood. I got a quick picture of Bryce holding Brody on it before they took off.

I knew I missed hanging out with Bryce and Kim and Rob, but I guess I forgot how much we saw each other. Just sitting out in the front yard or on the back porch. I've been very fortunate in my life to have an amazing core group of friends since Jr. High. Making new friends after having that has been...well...different. Realizing that you are an adult now and interests change and you can have other friends too. Kim and Rob are such amazing friends, we really couldn't ask for more. They love Brody as their own, as we do Bryce.

So to Bryce...if Mommy reads this to you...

We LOVE you with all our hearts and Brody and I had a BLAST!!!! We hate that you had to leave, but I will definitely be getting you on a regular basis. Hope you and your Daddy have so much fun at Deer Camp this weekend! We LOVE you!!!
