We took Bryson to the doctor on Friday. It was just a routine appointment. Everything is looking good; we are trying a new allergy medicine, and we are hopeful this will help. We still have some nights that worry Mommy; however, we feel really blessed at how much better he is. Throughout it all, he keeps smiling! We can't take him to church, and it breaks my heart. I see all of these people come in with their adorable babies and I want Bryson to be there. I know it's for the best though. Whatever we have to do to keep him well.
Everyone, please meet the baby who is always smiling!



Friday, after a very quick trip back from Tucson (thanks for going Ashlee) we also had fun at the PLS group party. I am so grateful for all the people Chris works with. Everyone is so nice and a lot of fun to be with.

Those hotdogs must be delicious!


Carmen, Ryan, Chris, and Marco!

Ryan, Kylie Kathleen, and Kiley Reanna

At the party we had Kiley's best friend Kylie because her mom just had a baby. (Congrats Amy!) The girls are so cute. Kiley believes you must have the same name to be best friends. I overheard her tell Ryan one day, "I'm sorry you'll never have a best friend." I asked her why she would say such a thing? She knowingly replied it was because she had never even met another Ryan.

Hey everyone! I seem to have a lot of free time at home, so I guess we will join the blogging wagon. I'm not very good at this, but here it goes.

The kids are doing great! Kiley is in kindergarten, which is really hard to believe, and she loves it! She loves to chase all the boys and picks cute clothes every morning. She just learned to tie her shoes, and she is so proud. She is doing great, and we are so proud of her. She is going to Pima since we were planning on building a house out there. Well, we decided not to build, but now we are asolutely stuck and running out of options. We plan on keeping her in Pima until we decide what to do. She says she always wants to be a Roughrider! She loves horses, so for her Pima is a great fit.

Ryan is going to preschool and really enjoying it. He seems to be doing fine. I can't imagine trying to be his teacher. He is quite the active boy and very stubborn. It took me over an hour just to get him to learn my cell phone number. He's really hyper, but he's also really sweet. He loves to give hugs and kisses and is always trying to make us laugh.

Bryson is doing awesome. Thanks again for all of your prayers. He got a little rough sounding a couple of weeks ago, but he had just got his immunizations. He didn't go into retractions. We treated him with steroids and it seemed to improve. It is such a relief just knowing what is wrong and how to treat it. We continue to pray he will do better and better. We are aprehensive about what winter will bring, but all we can really do is hope for the best. He is such a sweet and happy baby. He's finally gaining weight, and he's up to 14lbs. 5oz.! He loves to roll over and smile at everyone all the time. He is the easiest baby I've ever had. He almost beat Ryan when it comes to sleeping through the night! He's awesome, and we are so blessed to have him here.

Chris and I are fine. I'm happy to be a stay at home mom. I admit, I get a little stir crazy, but I wouldn't trade it for the world. I feel so blessed to be able to stay at home and watch my little ones grow.

Chris still works all the time, but he's got a great job. We feel really blessed that he gets to work with great people in a great environment. He's doing what he loves, and I'm really proud of my surveyor!

We hope all is well with each of you. I'll try to figure this blog thing out as I go.

Chris and Ashley
