Shout out to Josh...

Our neighbor actually works with Josh, and recieved the Medal of Merit as well...

Yesterday, Josh's work had an award's banquet. We were notified he would be recieving an award, but didn't know what it was for. So, we were sure to RSVP and found a sitter and were able to go and enjoy a nice dinner. When the awards came around, we were very excited to find out Josh recieved an award for Medal of Merit. It is a pretty neat award, so way to go Josh!

Just Like Daddy...

Hate to break it to ya Bridger, but you might get made fun of at work if you bring a blankie...lol!

Okay, first of all...sorry I have slacked off on updating my blog lately...I will do better! Anyway, yesterday while I was getting ready, Bridger found Josh's work shirt, so he put it on. He told me he was going to work. He also found some of Josh's old boots, had me help him put them on, hopped on his little bike and said, "Bye, I'm going to work." It was so cute! He wanted to be just like daddy!

The Tulip Festival...

Bridger and I went to the Tulip Festival at Thanksgiving Point today, with my friend Jenni and her little girl Amelia. Because of the crazy weather, the tulips weren't up very much yet...so they were not nearly as spectacular as they usually are, but it was still nice! We had a great time and enjoyed being out in the warm sunshine! Bridger really enjoyed running around! At one point, he saw a bird and was in total awe of it. He walked up to it very slowly, and then kept telling the bird to "come on!" He was sad when it finally flew away. As we were leaving the bird area, a couple of ladies walked past us and Bridger was telling them about the bird and running to show them where it was at...so funny! Later, in the Secret Garden there is a fountain. Bridger loved this (he loves it every time we go there)! Bridger and Amelia kept splashing their hands in the fountain; both were dripping, Bridger loved it but Amelia not so much by the end! Overall, it was so fun and it was great to be out with Jenni and Amelia too! (...There were so many fun pics that I decided to just do a slideshow to make it easier than trying to pick out a couple!...)

Our Little Artist...

Yesterday I was cleaning the bathroom while Bridger was taking a "nap." I was trying to hurry and get the shower cleaned before my window of opportunity had passed, so I had the water running and was oblivious to anything going on outside of the bathroom. As I finished cleaning the shower, I headed out to put the cleaning supplies away. I saw Bridger, so he ran back to his room. When I got to his room, he had just about everything off of my nightstand and several things from the nightstand drawer in his bed. I told him to put everything away and thought nothing else of it. Well, later that night I was getting him ready for bed, so I took his clothes off of him and noticed pen all over his legs, his stomach and even on the back of his neck! I was freaking out a little, worried that there would be pen elsewhere, so I am searching everywhere for the pen, and finally find it under his pillow. I didn't spot pen anywhere else, thank goodness for that! But, the funny thing is is that he had the pen so high up on his legs, that he had to pull his pant legs way up to reach. I think he was kind of proud of his artwork, because he kept admiring it! Oh, this is great...Josh had changed his diaper earlier, and saw the artwork, but thought I knew about it! Anyway, I just hope that he doesn't try this one again and I guess I cannot keep a pen in my nightstand drawer anymore!
