An attempt at Easter pics...

After church (because I definitely didn't have time before!) I tried to get a couple of cute pictures of Bridger...you have to have those cute posed Easter pictures, right?! Anyway, let's just say that two year olds just aren't that into having their pictures taken. First of all, he has jelly beans in his hands in most of the pictures, as well as in his mouth...yah, nice, I know! Then I thought it would be funny to have a picture of him with his "pink bunny" and he

thought it would be cute to be "sleeping" while I took the picture. What can I say...gotta love it, which I really do love it!!! At least he looks cute in his new little church outfit!

Easter Fun...

Bridger and I went up to Kaysville on Saturday to enjoy some Easter activities with Josh's family. Josh had to work over the weekend...again! Hopefully next year he will actually have it off! Anyway, we started the day with a very intense Easter Egg hunt...it was fun, but people are a little crazy...do you really need to fill the entire basket when some kids only got a couple of eggs...but that's fine! Bridger was excited about his eggs and on the way out they were handing out little stuffed animals...Bridger got a pink bunny, yes pink and Josh just loves it! Anyway, you can tell in the picture that Bridger was having fun!

Here is Bridger after he found the eggs that the Easter Bunny hid around the house for him to find when he got up. He loved it, and was looking everywhere for eggs. He also had to find his Easter basket, which was hidden so that was fun!

Here's his Easter loot...he got a kite, sidewalk chalk, an outside ball (not pictured), a church outfit and some of his favorite treats. When I asked him a week or two ago what he wanted for Easter, he said a puppy, suckers...red, yellow and green ones, and chocolate. He got the suckers and chocolate...sorry, no puppy! Oh, notice the non-giraffe basket...this Easter basket was Josh's mom's basket when she was growing up, then it was Josh's basket, and now it's Bridger's....so that's kind of cool!
And here he is with his "red and yellow and green sucker". Today he said "Easter bunny not bring puppy. I want a puppy." So, maybe he needs a puppy one day...we'll have to see about that!

Easter egg dying...

"Ooh, look this one's green!"

Not really sure if he was kissing it or pretending to eat the egg!
He's very proud of his eggs!

Bridger and I dyed Easter eggs today...Josh had to work and it just wasn't working for any other time for him to do it with us, which was totally sad! Anyway, Bridger loved it! He watched me intently as I got everything ready and was so excited for us to start. When I told him we were ready, he clapped his hands and said, "Yea!!". I let him use the crayon on every egg, so some of them were a bit speckly looking, but he loved it. It was so funny watching him put the eggs in the colors. He would try to use the spoon but the eggs always ended up crashing to the bottom of the cup...I think half of them have little cracks in them! After the eggs were dry, I let Bridger put some stickers on them. During this time, he noticed that they made a cool sound when he hit them together, so we have even more eggs with little cracks in them! All in all, it went well and he did a great job! It's so fun seeing how excited he gets to do all of this!

The coolest park...

There's way more than what you can see in this pic...

My friend Jen and I took our boys to this really cool playground. It was all wood, and looked like a castle. It had so many things for the kids to do and it was huge. Bridger loved it! We took a picnic, but he could hardly eat anything, because he just kept staring at the playground. Finally, I let him go play and he was all over the place. Jen and I kept following him around everywhere. He probably could have stayed there all day because there was so much to do...we will definitely be going there again!

Bridger and his "animals"...

Look at that cheesey smile!!!

Bridger has what we like to call his "entourage", but he calls it his animals. He has to have them all on his bed at night. When Josh tucks him in, he likes to put the entourage all around Bridger as in the picture above. It gets a bit ridiculous sometimes...this night it consisted of: 2 dogs, 2 kitties, a bear, a giraffe, and a bunny (this has been his favorite one lately!). I try hiding some of the animals sometimes so that he'll maybe forget about them, but of course he doesn't forget and will go searching for them...gotta love your animals!!

Bridger and Lauren...

Okay, Lauren you push this button.
And this is how you dance to the music...
And she is totally paying attention to everything he's showing her!!!

So, on Mondays and Wednesdays for just a couple of hours, I watch my friend's little girl, Lauren, while she teaches dance. Bridger thinks Lauren is great and loves to entertain her and help her. Lauren is also very entertained by Bridger and cries when he leaves the room. Anyway, yesterday Lauren was playing with Bridger's toy and he had to "show" her how to use it. Not that she is big enough to push any of the buttons to make it play music, etc, but he's our little helper! He would point to something and say you push this, etc. He also showed her how to "Dance" to the music it played...it was so funny!

So sick...

Here he is saying "Woo-hoo" as the train is getting ready to go over the bridge!

Okay, I have not posted anything in over a week...which is crazy because I am a little into the whole blogging thing...but, Bridger all of a sudden was sick last Saturday with a fever of 103 to 104 degrees. It was really weird because it just seemed to come all of a sudden and then on Monday morning, the fever was gone. He was not back to normal, but was so much better. I think he just has a bit of a cold now. But I also have a cold now...I think we can thank Josh for that one! LOL Anyway, the whole sick/cold business is definitely not my favorite! The pictures above are when he was feeling better, he wanted to play with his train...he loves it! I was so glad that he wanted to play with it, because for a couple of days he did not get off of the couch at all...not even exaggerating. I think we are all on the mend now, so woo-hoo!

Paintbrush or toothbrush...

Today I let Bridger try watercolor paints. He loved it! He didn't know what painting was, but he soon caught on! He kept calling the paintbrush a toothbrush, and sometimes he would notice that he messed up and say, "oops, paintbrush." He didn't want to stop painting, but it was finally getting too messy! He was getting little splatters of paint everywhere, including his face. Anyway, it was a fun experience for him...he really loved it!

Big Boy Bed...

This is his last night in the crib...yea!!

And here is his big boy bed...in his bright green room, which I love!!!

We decided last week to get Bridger into a "Big Boy Bed". He's been asking for a bed and a pillow for a while, so we thought it best to go for it when he is asking for it. Anyway, he's done a great job adjusting to it. The first night or two he cried a little, but it didn't last longer than a minute or two. Now he totally loves it. He doesn't get out in the middle of the night, so we are so lucky about that one! However, he does sometimes get out in the morning, but just to get his cars! He'll wake up, see his cars...get up and bring them into his bed and then just sit there and play with them until we go and get him. This morning I heard him talking, and he said, "Oh cars, go get them." So then I hear him getting out of bed and he stopped and said to his stuffed bunny, "Bunny, stay here." He then went and got all of his cars, went back to bed and said, "Bunny, I'm here." He's so funny...I love all the new things he is always saying!

Oh the faces...

Bridger is a little easily grossed out (I don't know where he gets it from...LOL). These are some of his faces after something grosses him out...oh my! He is so funny!!

The Farm...

That was about as close as Bridge preferred to be to the calf...


Yea...gotta love those turkeys...aren't they so cute?! Uggh...
Okay, I was impressed...my little Camry fit three carseats in the backseat...

Last week, Bridger and I went to the Farm at Thanksgiving Point with a friend, her little boy and her nephew. I love that it is finally starting to get warm...I love spring!!! Bridger was so excited to see the animals, especially the turkeys...a little weird, I know...turkeys are kind of gross, but whatever makes him happy!! He was scared of the cows this time, but didn't mind the little calf as much...however he never wanted to touch it (I kind of made him though!) Anyway, it was a lot of fun and we made it through the Farm just in time for the rain to start falling.
