Funny things...

***This is kind of longer than I planned on, but I wanted to get a few things written down about Bridger.***
Okay, I haven't taken very many pictures lately for whatever reason...I guess we haven't done anything overly exciting...thankfully, Halloween is coming up, so we'll have tons of pictures soon. But, I do want to put a few funny things that Bridger has said lately on here.
**Last Sunday, we were on a walk with Josh's family. Bridger was riding on Neil's (bro-in-law) shoulders and said to him, "Can I hold on to that big head of yours?" Oh my, so funny!
**A couple of weeks ago, Bridger was taking forever to eat his lunch, so I said to him, "You're taking a long time to eat." He looked at me and said, "Mmm-hmm, mommy. You're smart." Okay, where does this come from...he's not even 3 yet!
**We're trying to get him very excited about the baby, so we talk about it a lot and he talks about her all the time and about how he's a big brother. He asked me one day, "Mommy, is the baby going to rip out of your shirt or just crawl out?" Wouldn't it be great if she just "crawled" out.
Oh, on another exciting note, Bridger's pretty much potty-trained. I cannot brag about anything I did, because I think he was easy and was ready. He did great! We went straight to big boy underwear and haven't had too much of a problem since...and this started in August! He doesn't hardly have any accidents at all, but I do have to ask him quite a bit still if he needs to go, because he gets too busy and waits too long. Anyway, I feel very lucky to have him out of diapers before the baby comes. Bridger is also in "school" we do a little preschool/playgroup twice a week with other kids in the ward. I only have to teach once every 5th week, so it's not bad at all. Bridger loves "school" and I love the break, plus I think it is so great for him to have social interaction.
Okay, sorry this is kind of long and not the most exciting post ever, but I wanted to just update things on here mostly for journaling purposes! We're doing great and are getting excited for all the upcoming holidays, birthdays and the baby!

Total randomness...

So, we haven't been up to too much lately, but I thought I would put a couple of pics up of Bridger I took the other day. The first picture was when he was coloring at the table, he asked me to take a picture of him...so why not! In the second picture, he's looking very cute with stickers all over his face. I was sent an ad for a magazine and it had stickers in it, so I gave them to Bridger. He put them all over his shirt...before I knew it he had moved them all to his face! Funny little Bridger...gotta love him!

Bingham Canyon Mine...

Yesterday, Josh, Bridger and I went to the Bingham Copper Mine (Kennecott). I went there once way back in college as part of a geology field trip, but didn't remember tons about it. Anyway, Josh had been wanting to go there, so we finally made it yesterday. Bridger couldn't even stand how cool it was! There were huge trucks...seriously huge...look at the pictures of the huge dump trucks next to regular pickups. Bridger probably could have watched them driving around all day...he wanted a picture of him with the trucks, but that was tricky to get. There were several little things to see outside and a museum inside. Bridger definitely loved everything outside the best, but there were plenty of things for him to see inside as well. It was a fun little outing and it was interesting to check out the biggest copper mine in the world...right in our own back yard.

Silly boy...

I was making baby headbands the other day. Bridger is kind of used to me making a lot of hairbows and headbands, as I already had a bunch made before I was even prego (I had to teach how to make them at Super Saturday last October). He likes to wear the hairbows and this time wanted to wear a headband and a hairbow, so I pulled out one that was messed up so that it didn't matter if it got stretched out. He had me put it on him, then he needed a hairbow on Barney...so in the third pic, Barney has a flower clip on. It's so funny when he wants to wear these, because he still doesn't look girly in any way, shape or form! So, I know it's kind of weird, but hey, he's 2 and at least I have someone to try things on!! It's probably good that we're having a girl, at least for Bridger's sake!

On a side note, Bridger is pretty excited for this baby to come. He talks about her all the time, so I hope he really will be excited when she gets here. At dinner the other day, Josh asked Bridger if he knew where babies come from. Bridger said yes, so Josh asked him where they come from. Bridger paused, and then said, "Babies come from Old Navy!" Such a silly boy! Anyway, I think he'll be a great big brother and I am so glad he's excited at least for the moment!

I wanna be a cowboy...

A few days ago, Bridger wanted to wear my cowboy hat, so I got it out for him. He then went and sat on his rocking horse and sang "I wanna be a cowboy". He loves the cowboy hat and is always asking to wear it! A day or two later, he put Josh's uniform shirt and a ball cap on, sat on his horse and said he wanted to be a "Gene" (that's my dad's name). Not really sure how wearing a police shirt, ball cap, and sitting on a horse makes him a "Gene", but he kept saying it over and over again! Oh, one other random note...the other day, his Friend magazine came in the mail, so he asked me for his glasses. I told him he broke his sunglasses, to which he replied, "No, I need my glasses so I can read my magazine!" ...We don't wear glasses to read, but my parents do... Anyway, I guess he enjoys mimicking other people! Funny boy!
