My parents wanted to come with us this time so we invited Robbie, Martha, and Will to come too. The boys had so much fun. We went to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. It's only about 30 minutes from our house and is actually a real pumpkin patch unlike some of the others that are advertised. We took a short hayride to the pumpkin patch and the boys took their time finding the perfect pumpkin. Bryson wanted a big one and spent a lot of time looking for the perfect big one (with our help of course). Will had his heart set on a small pumpkin. He kept searching until he found the perfect small pumpkin. Once the found the perfect pumpkin, they played in the hay until the hayride came back to pick us up. Once we got back to the top of the hill, we did a little exploring before heading back home. The boys had a lot of fun! I definitely think we will be going back with Will again next year.<br />

Since he began playing for the Carolina Panthers last year there were 2 things that Robert wanted. A Cam Newton jersey and to go watch the Panthers play in Charlotte. For his birthday, I bought him the jersey. For Father's Day, I bought tickets for us to go to Charlotte to watch the Panthers play the Giants. (The tickets were his Father's Day gift but the trip was our 5 year anniversary gift). The game was on a Thursday night so we had my parents keep Bryson that Wednesday night through Saturday so we could head out early Thursday morning, stay Thursday night in Charlotte then not have to rush to head home to pick him up. We ended up getting back earlier than we had planned but we used that night to relax from our little mini vacation.<br />
The drive to Charlotte was not that bad. Of course Atlanta traffic was crazy, then South Carolina was boring. I know that everybody here in Alabama always says "Thank God for Mississippi", but I think the people of Mississippi should say "Thank God for South Carolina". The roads were horrible and there was nothing there! It looked like a pretty boring state. Once we got to Charlotte, we checked into our hotel then headed out to dinner before the game. We stayed at the Aloft at the Epicenter so it was right there by everything! We had a ton of places to choose from. After dinner, we walked the 11 block walk to the stadium. We made it there around 6 and the game didn't start until 8 so we walked around and explored the stadium before they opened the gates for us to get in. It was a very pretty stadium. They had these awesome Panther statues at both entrances to the stadium and they were huge!<br />

They opened the gates at about 6pm. It wasn't too long of a line to get in since we got there so early. Once we got in, I suggested to Robert that maybe he should go get a good picture of the stadium since we had upper level seats. We walked to the entrance to the lower level and they told us that we were allowed down by the field until 7pm. We walked down there and guess who was practicing in the end zone? Cam Newton! He was right there! It was so cool. We took a ton of pictures. It got us so pumped about the game because he was practicing so well.<br />

After we watched Cam practice a little, we walked over to where they were filming the NFL show for the night. It was so cool to see the sportscasters. I recognized some of them from TV but it was really cool to see Deion Sanders! I actually knew who that was!<br />

After that, we walked to the other side of the field where the Giants were practicing and there was Eli Manning! I'm not a Manning fan at all but he's the Super Bowl Champion Quarterback! It was pretty cool too!<br />

We still had some time before the game so we walked around some more watching the players warm up and practice. One of the Panthers players was warming up by using the goal post as a punching bag. It was pretty intense.<br />

When it was time for the game, we hiked up to our nose bleed seats. (I now know that instead of trying to buy tickets through the NFL the day they go on sale, that I need to wait until they are on StubHub. They may cost more but at least the seats would be better). The seats really weren't that bad though. We could see everything. Unfortunately the Panthers played terrible and we left before the game was over. The highlight of the game was watching 2 drunken fights break out in the stands. After the game, we headed to the Epicenter to grab a late night snack and check out some of the bars. There were so many fun places there. I think next time we go we will take a few friends. On our way back to the hotel, we saw another drunken fight between a Panthers fan and a Giants fan. It was pretty funny. This is definitely a trip that I would like to take again or even maybe make it a once a year tradition. Charlotte is a beautiful city and I was surprised at how much stuff they had to do there. Even though our team lost, we had a great time!<br />

Bryson wore himself out that morning because he almost slept through the entire lunch! He finally woke up as we were all finishing so he could eat his shrimp. After lunch, everybody (except me) wanted to go to the water park; I wanted to go shopping at the outlets. Right when I pulled up to the outlets, Robert called and said that the water park did not have enough staff to stay open past 4 and since it was already almost 3, there was no point in going. So he met me at the outlets and everybody else went back to the condo to go to the pool and the beach. I got Bryson a few nice things at the Carter's outlet and some new shoes at the Croc's outlet but other than that, they didn't have much. Once we got back, Robert met Bryson down at the beach. They had buried Eli in the sand and Bryson thought it was the funniest thing. Once Bryson helped rescue Eli, everybody went in the ocean. Bryson loves going in the ocean. <br />

Since we ate such a late lunch, we let Bryson stay out longer in the ocean and chose to eat a late dinner at Captain Anderson's. Bryson was doing good until it took forever for us to get our food. He started getting really whiny and he ended up falling asleep at the dinner table.<br />

The next morning it was time to go home. We had been wanting donuts all weekend so Robert and Lisa headed out early to get some. That place was crazy busy so they got back almost when it was time to check out. We all scarfed down a donut and loaded up the cars. Bryson loved the donuts.<br />

We had to make several different stops for food, gas, etc. before we got out of Panama City. Bryson was so tired that he fell asleep in the car holding his kids meal box. He slept almost the entire way home! He didn't wake up until we stopped in Montgomery to take Robert back to his truck. Once we got Robert's truck, we headed to the Peach Park in Clanton for some yummy peach ice cream, fried pies, and boiled peanuts. We made great time on the way back and were home before dark. Thankfully we both took the next day off to rest and unpack. Ever since we got back, Bryson has been asking to go back to the beach. Hopefully we can make another early Spring trip with him before school lets out.<br />

The week before, there was a Hurricane in the Gulf. At first it looked like it was going to hit Panama City, then a little further east (which would have given us the worst of the storm). But it finally made up its mind and headed to New Orleans, so our beach trip was safe! On Friday morning, my Aunt had a little procedure done to shock her heart back in rhythm. So me and Bryson packed the car, and headed to Trussville to be there with her. It was such a quick procedure that by the time we got there she was done. She was happy to see Bryson though so I'm glad we went. On the way back home for lunch, Bryson started digging in his toy bag. Next thing I knew he had his Spiderman mask on the his face. It was hilarious. I had no idea that he had fallen asleep with it on though. When we got to Helena and I went to get him out of the car, he was sound asleep. It was hilarious!<br />

After lunch, we headed out. We first stopped to pick up Lola and get some Starbucks. Then we headed to Montgomery to pick up Robert from work. Once we had picked him up, it was time to head to the beach! Bryson was such a good boy in the car; and we only stopped to potty twice, I think! We made it to the beach just in time for dinner. We put all our stuff down in our awesome condo, freshened up, then headed out. We decided to get at Angelo's Steakhouse that night. It was just the four of us so we just kind of chose whatever.Then we had to go to Wal-Mart to stock up on food for the weekend and of course Bryson fell asleep. I guess the no nap while traveling made him tired.<br />

We all got a good nights sleep then it was time to head to the beach and the pool! Bryson was so excited. He wanted to go to the pool first and since we got a late start, we figured that was a good idea since our condo was right by the pool. He had fun hanging out in the hot tub, by the steps, and climbing up the stairs. <br />

After a few hours at the pool, we headed in for a little lunch. We just grabbed a pizza from Pizza Hut so we could eat quick, get Bryson down for a quick nap, and head back to the beach. We were hoping Bryson would take a short nap so we had more time at the beach, but he must have been tired. He took a pretty long nap. That didn't give us too much time at the beach before we had to go in and get ready for Auburn's first game of the season. He had fun putting his feet in the water, digging in the sand, and looking for seashells. Since the Hurricane had just blown through the Gulf, there were a ton of seashells!<br />

After a little beach time, we all headed in to get ready for the game. Robert and Paul bought some shrimp so we had a little shrimp boil right before the game. Bryson loves shrimp so he eat a ton! I'm not a big shrimp eater but I love the potatoes and corn so I filled up on that. We finished right at kick-off and even though our team lost, it was so nice that football season had officially started again.<br />

After the game, Lisa and Paul disappeared. Eli wanted to go ride on the elevator so Robert went with him. When they got back there was still no sign of Lisa and Paul so they went to the beach to see if they were out there. Right when they found them, Paul was proposing to Lisa! We are all so excited and happy for them and can't wait for Paul to officially be a member of the family. Congratulations guys!<br /><br />

My day started out with a morning at work. Our school's new school year started the Monday after my birthday, so that Saturday was our work day to get our classrooms prepared for the new school year. I normally hate working on my birthday but I have been dying to get my room cleaned and organized the way that I wanted to, so I didn't mind at all! After work, I was able to enjoy a little time alone being lazy while Robert and Bryson were over at Lisa's house (I thought) helping her move some stuff to her new house. (They were actually getting things ready for my surprise party and buying my awesome gift!) After a little lazy time, it was time to get ready for dinner with my family. We ate at Papa Saia's in Helena. I am so happy that somebody finally bought the old Incahoots building. It's the perfect location for a restaurant/bar. The building is huge and the patio is right next to the waterfall so the view is beautiful. We had planned for Bryson to stay with my parents that night so we could celebrate my birthday. We didn't really plan anything (that I was aware of) so we had decided to go over to Steven and Jessica's to hang out for a bit. We didn't plan on going over there until about 8 so after dinner we ran home for a little bit. (This gave my family and friends time to get to Lisa's house). Once we decided to leave, Robert said we had to run by Lisa's house to get my birthday gift before going to Steven and Jessica's. As soon as we pulled up to Lisa's, I saw all the cars and everybody was standing outside holding balloons! I was so surprised! Nobody has ever thrown me a surprise party before! All of my closest friends were there and Robert somehow even got my parents, with Bryson and Robbie and Martha, with Will there too! We all had so much fun! There was a ton of food, and coffee flavored birthday cake. My gift was a big surprise too. Since we decided to refinance our house and stay here for a few more years, we wanted to do a few things to make the house seem bigger and easier to sell. One of the things we wanted to do was get a TV mounted over the fireplace and get rid of our entertainment center. After we did some pricing, we decided to wait until the end of the month when Robert's first raise took affect. Once I opened the gift, I was so happy to see our new 60 inch TV! Not only that, but he had already paid to have Geek Squad come to our house Labor Day weekend while we were at the beach to mount it for us! It was definitely the best gift I can ever remember getting and the best birthday ever!<br />

He loved when she would come pick him up from school. Lisa babysat Jacob for the summer and him and Bryson became best friends. One of Bryson's favorite places to go was to iJump! He would talk about it for days after. We couldn't talk about iJump or even spell it without Bryson asking to go back. I'm hoping that we can take him back again sometime soon! Here's a few pictures.<br />

We were all a little scared and worried since he was born over a month before his due date on July 2, 2009, but 3 years later, you would never know that our little Will was a premie. He is so handsome and so smart and brings a smile to everybody's face. He loves music and will turn any toy he can find into a guitar or a drum. He's our little rock star and when him and Bryson get together, they always give us a little mini concert (usually with Fresh Beat Band songs).<br />
For Will's 3rd birthday theme, Martha wanted to have an art party! She was so excited that her and Robbie had just bought a house with a huge backyard so having an art party was the perfect idea and they had the perfect space for it. She found the idea on Pinterest (which we are obsessed with). We were able to get most of the supplies from Robert's sister Lisa since she's an art teacher. She gave Martha some wood boards to hang on the fence, poster board to hang on the boards and paint. One of the parent's from Martha's class at school works at Starbucks, so she got Martha some Starbucks cups with lids to hold the paint. For party favors, Martha ordered art smocks for the kids and wrote their names on them. She also made edible paintbrushes from Rice Krispie Treats for the kids to take home. Everybody had so much fun! He got a ton of fun gifts! It was so nice to have all of our family there and a friend from school. Bryson and Will love Miss Adelyn so we were so happy that she could make it and have fun with the boys. Happy 3rd Birthday Will!<br />

Robert and Bryson spent the morning swimming. They had so much fun. Bryson is such a water baby. I think he would live in the pool if we would let him. After they were done swimming, I met them over at Steven and Jessica's for a little 4th of July cookout. Bryson enjoyed hanging out with Coby. They always have so much fun together. Steven just got a job working at a great butcher shop so he grilled us all kinds of yummy meat (of course I only tried the hamburgers because I'm way too picky). We debated on going downtown to watch the fireworks but since we were having so much fun there, and the traffic after the fireworks is a nightmare, we decided not to go. I had to work the next day and didn't really feel like getting home super late then having to wake up early the next day. Not only that, but Bryson was so scared of the fireworks last year. I hated to drive all the way down there and him still hate it. Fox 6 does broadcast the fireworks show on t.v so we watched them there. After seeing this years show and how it was set to horrible music, I'm glad we decided to not go. It looks like it would have been a total disappointment in person because we were not impressed with them at all on the t.v. Maybe next year we will do something big for the 4th but it was nice to sleep in and get to be lazy on my off day. Here's a few pictures from our fun, low key day.<br />

He started using the potty a while ago but I hadn't been pushing it like I should have. A few weeks ago, I decided that I was going to potty train Bryson in 2 days. We have had a busy past few weeks planned with the 4th of July and Will's birthday, so I decided that last weekend we would do it. The plan was to stay home and do nothing but potty train Bryson. We would sit him every 30 minutes and only put a diaper on him for nap time and bedtime, no matter how many accidents he had. I wasn't really too sure how it would go. I was really just hoping that it would get him more interested in the potty and that I would have to put him back in a diaper on Monday and just make sure that I sat him on the potty more often then I had been. Well, he did better than I expected and I am proud to say that Bryson is completely potty trained! (except for nap and bedtime). I highly recommend potty training like this to anybody.<br />
Here's what we did. We made sure we had nothing to do and told everybody that if they wanted to see Bryson, they would have to come to us. We bought his favorite snack (Combo's) as a reward, and M&M's as bribery to get him to sit on the potty (since I didn't think he would be too happy about sitting every 30 minutes). Right when he woke up, I sat him on the potty and let him choose out what underwear he wanted to wear. (We didn't use a little potty. For some reason he doesn't seem to fit on those very good, so we just let him straddle the big potty). Then 30 minutes later, I sat him again. He was doing pretty good for the first few hours, then he had his first accident. Since he had an accident, I wouldn't let him choose which pair of underwear he wanted to wear and he was not happy about that. He made it until lunch without having another accident. We repeated this same thing after his nap. Once he woke from nap he had 3 accidents back to back! I was so frustrated but determined that I was not going to give up! I think he may have had a few successful trips the whole day, but nothing to get too excited about. I was not very optimistic about Sunday but I was determined I was not going to give up and that he would be potty trained by Monday.<br />
Sunday when he woke up, I let him choose his underwear again. This time he chose his Batman underwear. I told him that if he had an accident that Batman would be sad. Not too long after I put it on him he said, "oh no! Batman is sad." He had realized he was having an accident and stopped himself. I grabbed him and let him finish in the potty. Since he had an accident, I didn't let him choose which pair of underwear he would get to wear again. Then he had 1 more accident and that was it. No more accidents. He then started grabbing himself which was his way of telling me he had to go to the potty. As soon as I saw him grab himself we would run to the potty. No more accidents!<br />
On Monday, he stayed home with Robert and was successful again! Tuesday was his first day at school in underwear. I wasn't sure how it would go since there would be more distractions but he only had 1 accident! But it was really an accident. He told me in the gym he had to go potty and we ran as fast as we could to the potty, we just didn't make it in time. The same thing happened on Wednesday. He spent Thursday and Friday with Lisa and only had 1 accident with her which was on Thursday. But it was the same way it was at school. He just couldn't get there in time. He has now been accident free since Thursday and tells me that he has to use the potty! I'm even happy to say that he poops in the potty too! Not only that, but we went to dinner Thursday and Friday night and he told us that he had to go and he used a public potty! I am so proud of Bryson for potty training so quickly. I'm not too sure how long I will keep him in a diaper for nap and bedtime. I guess I will just play it by ear. So far he has woke up dry from nap everyday and dry every morning except for today. I highly recommend this type of potty training to anybody. Not only did it work for Bryson, but my nephew too. And just because he's so cute in underwear, here's a few pictures.<br />

For Mother's Day, Robert and Bryson made me a beautiful wreath that I had been eying on Pinterest. I never knew that Robert could be so crafty. We also bought ourselves a new t.v that doubled as a birthday present for Robert. The Buck Creek Festival in Helena always falls on Mother's Day weekend so we headed there Saturday afternoon. They have a ton of food, a lot of neat vendors, live music on the stage and rubber duck race from the waterfall! They started the duck race a little early and there were a ton of people there so we couldn't really see anything but we had a good time anyway. After the Buck Creek Festival, we headed to Lloyd's for dinner with Robert's family then a nice relaxing night at home. On Mother's Day, we were lazy in the morning. I woke up to a wonderful breakfast and was able to enjoy a nice lazy day. We headed to my parents house for dinner with my family. Bryson made the cutest terra cotta pots for my mom and Robert's mom and cute canvas painting for my aunt; all compliments of Pinterest. Here's a few pictures from Mother's Day weekend. (I don't have a picture of the new t.v yet).<br />

Father's Day was also pretty low key. We gave Robert his Father's Day gifts that Bryson made him at school on Saturday to start off the weekend. He made him two cards and a cute DAD canvas that I found off of Pinterest. On Sunday, he got his big gift. I bought Robert a Cam Newton Panther's jersey for his birthday so I wanted to get him tickets to one of their games in Charlotte. Tickets went on sale on June 2 through Ticketmaster and it was so hard to get them. I checked the cheapest ones right when they went on sale and 20 minutes later, they were sold out. I kept checking all the other prices and they were sold out too. After about an hour, some seats finally popped up! I went ahead and bought them even though I wasn't too crazy about the seats because I was so worried that they would all be sold out if I didn't get them. We ended up with ok seats. I'm not too thrilled with them but they were selling out so quick, that I just had to take what I could get. I picked the Panther's vs. the Giants game on September 20. It's a Thursday night game so the tickets and the trip are doubling for an anniversary gift for us too. I am so excited! I have never been to an NFL game before and since Cam Newton has been playing for the Panther's, Robert has said that he wanted to go watch him play in Charlotte. He has his jersey, now I have to find me something to wear to the game too! I thought it would be so cute to dress Bryson up in the jersey holding the tickets, take a picture and then frame the picture and see if Robert noticed the tickets. I had the hardest time getting Bryson to take a good picture and of course I'm an idiot and put the tickets on the back of the frame so Robert saw the tickets before he saw the picture. Oh well, he was still excited. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Robert wanted to spend the whole day with Bryson so they left bright and early to go hiking at the Preserve with his friends and their kids. Well they decided that they all wanted to go swimming instead so they spent the morning with Steven, Coby and Jeffrey and Chris and his boys. After swimming, and while Bryson was napping, Robert grilled out some amazing sausage that he bought as a gift to himself from the butcher shop that Steven works at. It was amazing and definitely a lot better than what you buy in the store. For dinner, we went right down the street to Golden Rule with my family to celebrate. Bryson made my dad a PAPA canvas just like the one he made at school for Robert. It turned out great! Here are a few pictures from Father's Day weekend. </div>

Bryson wanted to make a mean face. </div>Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-72181358715890637962012-05-27T13:28:00.001-05:002012-05-27T13:28:28.000-05:00Our Spring Vacation (Days 4 and 5)Before we left for the beach, we checked the weather forecast and were so excited because it was supposed to be a rain free week. Well, that didn't happen. Our last full day was mostly rained out. When we woke up and saw the weather forecast, Robert and Bryson headed to the beach early so Bryson could enjoy one final day at the beach and pool before the rain hit. I stayed in and did a little picking up around the condo. About an hour or so later, I headed down and they were already at the pool. It was so windy, cloudy and chilly. We decided to go ahead and call it a day, head in and shower, and go eat lunch at Lulu's. I was hoping we could make it there before the rain hit so Bryson could play but not long after we sat down the rain started. The food there was pretty good. Bryson was too busy to really eat though. After lunch, we were going to go back to the condo but Bryson fell asleep in the car so we decided to just drive around for a little bit so he could get a good nap. We drove through Orange Beach and into Florida. We bought a lottery ticket (which sadly we didn't win) then headed back to Gulf Shores for some ice cream. Bryson woke up just in time. After some yummy ice cream, we headed back to the condo to enjoy a relaxing afternoon. The rain never let up so we decided to go get a quick pizza for dinner then head back to the condo again. After dinner we wanted to go get some cannoli's but the restaurant that normally has them was out. It was kind of sad. When we got back, I started packing because I wanted to get everything loaded in the car before we went to bed that night so we wouldn't be so rushed the next morning.<br />
When we woke up, we were able to take our time leaving the condo since we had packed everything the night before. The sun came out so we walked down to the beach one last time to tell the beach good bye. Bryson kept waving bye bye to the beach and when we headed to the car, he cried because he didn't want to leave. We let him go to the elevator one last time to say good bye to his "worm" friends. Since we got an early start, we stopped for lunch at Lambert's. I had never eaten there before so I had no idea just how much food they gave you. I knew they threw rolls at you but I had no idea that they also walked around and served you other types of food too. Needless to say we had a ton of leftovers. We made great time on the way home and stopped at the peach park to get some peach pies, oranges and boiled peanuts. I wanted to get some peaches but Bryson wanted to get oranges. The peaches didn't look all that good anyway. We made it home before dark and were able to relax. I was so sad to see our vacation end so quickly. Bryson had an amazing time which I was so happy about because I wasn't too sure how much he would like it since he hated the beach last year. Hopefully we will be able to head back to the beach at least one more time before Summer's over, or at least be able to take one more family vacation.<br />

"Bye Bye beach. See ya next time!"</div>Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-36717306909199553512012-05-12T07:40:00.001-05:002012-05-12T07:40:44.069-05:00Our Spring Vacation (Day 3)By the 3rd day, Bryson was more anxious to get down to the beach sooner. He asked to get on the elevator basically when he crawled out of bed, so we ate a quick breakfast and headed down. This time we remembered his beach toys so he could make a sand castle. He didn't really care to make a sandcastle, he just wanted to dig and throw the sand. If one of us started building a sandcastle, he would knock it right over. After playing in the sand and the ocean, Bryson wanted to look for some seashells. We found a bunch of them. At first I was putting them on my beach towel since we didn't have anything else to put them in, but for some reason, Bryson didn't want them there. He took each one of them off of my towel and put them on his. If I tried to put a seashell on my towel, he would say no and put it back on his. It was hilarious. After the beach, we made a quick trip to the pool while Robert started cooking his lunch. There was a little boy there that had a monkey float and Bryson was obessed with it. The little boy let Bryson play with it and he cried when he had to leave it. When Robert headed out after lunch, he tried to find one, but couldn't so he got Bryson another float like the monkey one, and Bryson loved it. He wanted to buy some shrimp on Sunday when we got down there so he could have his own mini shrimp boil for his birthday but of course they were closed too. He ended up getting him a bunch though and was able to enjoy his birthday lunch on the balcony overlooking the beach while Bryson took a nap. After his nap, we headed down for a quick swim in the pool before dinner. We decided since we had so many leftovers that we would just stay in for dinner for go get some ice cream for dessert. Of course Bryson loved the ice cream. We let him chose what he wanted and he chose the "happy cake" ice cream. We then headed to all the souvenir shops. We didn't find anything so we headed back to the condo to share some of Robert's birthday cake before heading to bed.<br />

When we woke up on Monday, we have a wonderful breakfast cooked by the birthday boy, then he got to open his gift on the balcony overlooking the ocean! As you know we are huge Auburn fans and Cam Newton was Robert's favorite player, and now he's one of his favorite NFL players so I got him a Carolina Panthers Cam Newton jersey! (and I might add at a great deal on Amazon). He loved it! We quickly got dressed and headed down to the beach and the pool. After a few hours, we headed in for lunch and for Bryson to take a quick nap. After Bryson's nap, we headed back to the beach and the pool before heading to dinner at The Hangoout. At The Hangout, Robert got a massive seafood plate (that he ended up sharing with Bryson). It was huge! Bryson loved the little oysters. He kept playing with the shells and calling them Mr. Chompy Chomp. We finished dinner in enough time to hit up the outlet mall. Robert was able to find a few things at American Eagle, and an Auburn shirt at the Under Armor store, but other than that, I wasn't too impressed. We headed back to the hotel to relax and watch some t.v with Bryson before putting him to bed. He did great in the big boy bed again and we slept a lot better since he did so well the night before. Here are some pictures from our fabulous second day and Robert's birthday. Happy Birthday Robert!!!!<br />

Bryson and Mr. Chompy Chomp</div>Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-22071999384382606292012-05-06T09:10:00.001-05:002012-05-06T09:10:56.944-05:00Our Spring Vacation (Day 1)We were all in desperate need of a little vacation. We had a hard time deciding where to go but ended up picking Gulf Shores. I wasn't too crazy on the idea of a beach trip because Bryson wasn't too crazy about the beach last year, but we found the best little condo down there at a great price, so that's where we ended up going. We were going to head down on Monday April 30 but the owner of the condo gave us a free night, so we headed down on Sunday. We were hoping that by picking this date that it wouldn't be too crowded since school is still in but Spring Break is over, and that it wouldn't be too hot. We were right! We didn't have to drive in traffic, wait to eat, or sit in the hot Alabama sun.<br />
Our plan was to leave by 11am on Sunday since we couldn't check in until 4pm. Of course we were running late and it was about 11:40 before we left. We pulled into the Publix in Gulf Shores around 3:30! We made excellent time! We went ahead and got all of our food for the week, then headed to the condo. The great thing about the condo was that there was no key to use, just a keypad. We didn't have to carry our condo key with us everywhere. I loved it! As soon as we unloaded the car, Robert wanted to head on down to the beach, so him and Bryson went while I stayed and unpacked. I watched them from the balcony to see Bryson's reaction, and he loved it! I knew we were going to have a great week.<br />
Since we had been driving all day, we decided to just stay in that night, order pizza and watch The Amazing Race before going for a night walk on the beach. We had a particular place in mind, but of course they were closed. We ended up getting Papa Rocco's pizza. It was ok, but not as good as the place we really wanted to go to. After dinner, we headed to the beach. Bryson was so funny carrying the flashlight. Once we got down there, he kept throwing the sand in the water. Then he would run to the water with daddy, then run back to the sand and jump on the sand. It was hilarious! On the way back to the hotel room, Bryson wanted to test out the kiddie pool. He hopped right in with his clothes on!<br />
We had brought his Toy Story couch for him to sleep on in our room but he loved the bunk beds so much. We found a safety rail for the bunk beds in the washer/dryer closet and once we put it on the bottom bunk, it was just like his bed at home. He slept so good the first night in the big boy bed!<br />

The Fresh Beat Band!When I heard that The Fresh Beat band was coming to town, I knew it would be the perfect gift to give Bryson for his birthday. The tickets were a bit pricey, so I asked my mom if she wanted to buy one and come with me. She did, and we had a great time. Children under 2 were free, so since we bought the tickets before Bryson turned 2, we figured it would be OK. Besides, there was no way i was paying $40 plus bucks for Bryson to have a seat that he wouldn't even sit in. On his birthday, since I knew he wouldn't understand what the tickets were, we gave him a copy of The Fresh Beat Band CD. We have been jamming to it since then and he now knows all the songs.<br />
The concert was on Thursday April 26 and started at 7pm. I was originally going to take that day off since there was no way I could work until 6pm and us eat dinner and make it to the concert on time, but since my hours have now changed to 7:30-12, I didn't have to. I knew that we would get in late after the concert so I did swap shifts on Friday with my co-teacher so we could sleep in. Thank goodness I did because it was almost midnight before I went to bed. Of course Bryson fell asleep in the car so he was up bright and early the next morning.<br />
Since I got off at noon, we were able to take our time getting ready and Bryson was actually able to take a nap. We met my mom on Lakeshore to eat Chick-Fil-A and headed downtown around 5:30. I had no idea how bad rush hour traffic would be so I wanted to get there a little early. There was no traffic at all. We made it there right before 6pm. We sat in the car for a little bit since it was still an hour before the concert started. Once we saw more people go in, we decided that maybe we should head in. Once we got to the door, the lady scanned our tickets and never questioned why we didn't have a ticket for Bryson. We then wanted to find to souvenirs, but the line was insane and so was the snack bar line. We decided to go ahead and find our seats instead. Bryson was OK for a little bit but then they were 15 minutes late and he got a little antsy. Thank God we were able to pull up some YouTube videos on my moms phone. It kept him entertained until the came on stage.<br />
When they finally got on stage, Bryson didn't know what to think. He just stared at them for a little bit looking confused! It was hilarious. But as soon as I started singing some of the songs, he joined right in. He stayed in my moms lap most of the time, but he really did have a great time. It was so cute to watch him sing along with all the songs and it was hilarious to watch him clap at the end of every song. Right before intermission, my mom headed down to buy him a t-shirt, a light, and some popcorn while there was no line. Bryson decided to sit in her seat while she was gone and once the Freeze Dance song came on, he was ready to party! My mom picked the perfect time to go, because right when she sat down, it was intermission. The lines were insane! I have no idea why they thought it would be a good idea to only have 1 place to buy souvenirs. I decided to get in line for a drink, and I only missed 1 song (of course it was the Rock Star song), but when I went back in, the lines were still crazy!<br />
After intermission, Bryson seemed to understand what was going on and he started to sing and dance with The Fresh Beats. He had a great time and I'm sure if they come back again, we will probably go. The tickets may have been a little over priced, but Bryson had an amazing time. It was defintely worth the money.<br />

Bye Fresh Beats! Hope to see you again soon!</div>Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-37262830278858820402012-04-27T22:18:00.001-05:002012-04-27T22:18:42.012-05:00A-Day 2012We are huge Auburn fans and couldn't wait until Bryson was old enough to make a trip to Auburn for a football game. Since tickets are pricey, we thought that the A-Day game would be a great chance for Bryson to experience Auburn without us having to spend a ton of money. We had a gift card to pay for the gas, a gift card for dinner (that we ended up not using) and somebody gave us tickets when we got there so we didn't have to pay (even though they were only $5 a piece). So it was definitely a cheap trip. Bryson did great in the car. He napped a little and watched a few shows on the Kindle. We packed the stroller so he wouldn't have to do much walking so he was still in a great mood once we got to the stadium. Even though we took the smaller stroller, it was still bulky so we have decided it's time to invest in an actual umbrella stroller for events like this. We picked seats that were close enough to see what was going on, but not surrounded by a ton of people so Bryson wouldn't be forced to sit still the entire time. He did great and really loved watching Aubie! He had fun climbing up and down the stadium steps and was even a big helper when him and daddy went and got the snacks! He made it a little bit past halftime, but we could tell he was tired of being stuck in one place so we decided to leave a little early so we could take him around the campus. Our first stop was to see the new Heisman statues. They look awesome! Then we stopped by the bookstore to find him a shirt and maybe an Aubie. We didn't like any of their shirts and even though they had an Aubie, we decided to wait until one of the other stores to buy him something. Our next stop was Toomer's Corner. The trees look terrible! It's so sad to see such a great tradition dying because of some ridiculous Bama fan. I know that not all Bama fans are that extreme, but it just makes me hate them even more. We then let Bryson run in the field in front of Samford Hall. He had so much fun chasing the squirrels. Once we finished there, we headed to Tiger Rags and J&M to look for shirts and an Aubie. They had some great shirts for the A-Day game so we got one, but still no Aubie. We couldn't leave Auburn without letting Bryson get his first taste of Toomer's lemonade. He loved it! Our last stop was to Ander's bookstore. Still no real Aubie, but they did have a stuffed tiger with an Auburn jersey. We got it, but were bummed that it wasn't an actual Aubie. We were so disappointed because Aubie was all he talked about all day. We are so glad that we were finally able to take Bryson to Auburn so he could enjoy the place that we both love so much. I'm not sure if he's ready for an actual football game, but football season is still a few months away. Hopefully by then he will be ready. If not, there's always next year! Now I'm so ready for football season to start! WAR EAGLE!!!<br />

We swore that we wouldn't take Bryson to see the Galleria Easter Bunny, but Easter weekend snuck up on us, so we didn't have a choice. Since I was off work for Good Friday, we thought that Friday would be a good day to take Bryson to see the Easter bunny. It turned out to be a great time. The line was not long at all! However, it was a terrible experience, again. For some reason they thought it would be a good idea to have the Easter Bunny in the food court next to carousel. That is a horrible location. It was so loud and once Bryson saw Chick-fil-a, all he wanted was french fries. We were 4th in line so we didn't think it would take that long. Boy were we wrong! The lady that was running the Easter Bunny pictures kept taking all the kids, picking them up, getting in their faces, kissing their cheeks and talking to them. Just sit the kid in the Easter Bunny's lap, snap the picture and move on! So when it was our turn, Bryson was fine. He waved at the Easter Bunny and looked really excited to see him. Then the creepy lady picked him up, got in his face (thank God she didn't kiss his cheeks), and made him cry. I was so mad! Her solution was to have him sit in Robert's lap and take the picture. Um, no! Why would we want to be in Bryson's Easter Bunny picture! So the lady tried to take Bryson from Robert, but Robert took him right back. Why would you take a crying child from their parent?! Anyway, Robert sat him in the bunny's lap, they snapped a picture and told us we were done. We didn't even get a chance to try and get a good picture. Bryson wasn't scared of the Easter Bunny, he was scared of that crazy lady! She said that we were done because there other kids in line and they didn't need to see Bryson cry. Has she never seen a kid cry when they visit the Easter Bunny or Santa? Anyway, it was a terrible experience at the Galleria, again. Next time I'm going to plan ahead, even if that means driving all the way to Leeds to go see them at the Redneck Riviera (which I don't want to do). Here is Bryson's Easter Bunny picture for this year!<br />

First, me and my mom got up early and went to the kids market consignment sale. We thought we got there early but by the time we got there, the parking lot was packed. I was so bummed because I thought we weren't going to find anything good. The main reason my mom went was to look for a toddler bed for the boys to use at her house. Saturday was 50% off day so some things were half price. The first place we went was to the cribs and beds. They had the cutest Toy Story toddler bed, but the people wanted $75 for the bed, a separate price for the mattress and it was not 50% off. No thanks, that's a little overpriced for a consignment sale. We did find a toddler bed for about $25! I couldn't believe we got such a good deal! We ended up finding a decent about of stuff even though it was the last day and it was so busy. I just wish they did it more often than twice a year.<br />
After the consignment sale, we had to rush back home so we could dye Easter Eggs and get ready for our friends wedding that night. My mom offered to spend the night at our house so we could go have fun at the wedding, and Bryson would still be home for the Easter Bunny. Bryson was more interested in dyeing eggs this year. His favorite color was pink! Hahahahaha! He really did enjoy it though.<br />

They got married at the Botanical Gardens and it was so pretty! The reception was there too and the food was amazing. The DJ was the same DJ that all the Marshall's get for their weddings and we always have a wonderful time. Her cake was cupcakes and his cake was old school Aubie and was chocolate with peanut butter. Both were amazing. We had a blast but decided to come straight home afterwards because we had a busy day the next day.<br />

Oh well, maybe next year. We were rushing to get to church on time, but I don't think it would have mattered. The church was packed! Once again, we were stuck sitting the lobby where we couldn't hear anything. Bryson kept running around and finding all the Jesus pictures and statues and pointing at them saying "Jesus"! I love that he knows who Jesus is.<br />

I felt bad for not letting them know we moved the party but since they didn't RSVP, I had no idea they were planning on coming. She did get him a cute little gift, and since his friends weren't with him on his party day, we had a mini party at school on Monday. I took his favorite cookies for them to enjoy at snack. Ever since his birthday, he walks around singing Happy Birthday to everybody. It is so cute.<br />

The original plan was to have it at Cahaba Lily Park here in Helena but with all the heavy rain and storms the day before, we decided to move it to our back up plan at my church. I had found a ton of cute idea's on Pinterest to use for his party but since I thought it was going to be at the park, I didn't do any of them (other than showing my sister in law a picture of the cake we wanted). Either way, it turned out fine. My church has a REC center across the street from the main church that has a gym, pool tables, racquetball court, and a small kitchen and eating area. There was enough room for everybody to play and enjoy the yummy food. I had the cutest idea for party favors, but also scrapped that idea when we decided to move the party to the church. I stole my sister in law, Martha's idea of giving balls as party favors so the kids would have something to play with in the gym, but also a treat to take home. (Martha did the same thing for Will's party last year since his party was also at their church gym.) The party started at 2 and everybody just kinda visited with each other while the kids played together. Anytime Bryson and Will get together is hilarious. They are so much fun to watch and they really are best friends. While the kids played, the adults nibbled on the snacks while we waited for everybody to arrive. Then we opened gifts, and of course Bryson isn't spoiled at all! He got so many nice things, and he loves them all! After gifts, we did cake. We went to Party City the day before to get the rest of the party supplies and we bought a #2 candle. It somehow magically disappeared. I was so upset! What kid doesn't get to blow out candles on his own birthday cake! Thankfully somebody had a lighter so we just improvised. We lit the lighter and sang Happy Birthday, then Bryson blew out the lighter. He didn't know the difference. Still to this day, I have no idea where that candle is. Robert's sister Amy made his awesome birthday cake. She made his cake last year too and they both turned out amazing. Here's last year's cake. We did a Backyardigan's pirate themed party. <br />

We bought him tickets to go see The Fresh Beat Band in April! I can't wait to see the look on his face when he sees them live in person! Here are some more pictures from Bryson's special day.<br />

Where has the time gone?! He has grown up way to fast and so far ahead of where he should be. We went to the doctor today for his check up and she said that is development is like that of a 3 year old! He is so smart and so independent. She was impressed with his vocabulary and his interest in the potty. He is a big boy weighing in at 34.4 pounds and is 34 1/4 inches tall! He has gained almost 5 pounds since our last visit on January 18, so since he is gaining weight too fast, we are switching him to either 2% or 1% milk and limiting the amount of milk that we give him during the day. She also suggested that we start using a normal cup instead of a sippy type cup to limit the amount he is drinking at one time. Thankfully he loves water so I don't think this will be a problem. She was also pleased with the types of foods that he enjoys eating and that even though he doesn't really like beef, it sounds like he's getting plenty of protein. She was also pleased with the fact that he rarely drinks juice since juice really isn't necessary, it's more of a treat. I thought he would have been due for some shots, but nope, he is all caught up. I'm thinking he won't need anymore, other than a flu shot, until his 5 year check up but I may be wrong. We haven't done anything too exciting yet for his birthday but just getting to spend some extra time with him is enough. We gave him one of his gifts today since it's his actual birthday. It was the Fresh Beat Band CD and he loves it! We bought him tickets to their concert so we have to get him ready to sing along with them. Tonight we are going to dinner at Lucia's here in Helena with my parents and Martha and Will and I will give him another small present there. Since it's time for him to drink out of a big boy cup, I bought him the cutest little Toy Story dinner set that includes a big boy cup! Today and tomorrow will be spent getting everything ready for his party, but with the threat of severe weather tomorrow afternoon, I'm really on a time crunch. Hopefully I will be able to finish everything before the bad weather hits. His party is planned for Saturday at Cahaba Lily Park here in Helena, but with the way the weather is looking, we may have to go with our backup plan of using the church REC center. Either way, he's going to have so much fun! It's just so crazy to think that 2 years ago he looked like this<br />

If you don't know what that is, it's a website where you can create your own boards then you pin things you like to those boards. I have found so many neat craft projects and yummy recipes on there. I was really busy with Pinterest projects around the holidays, but since Christmas, I haven't made anything. I have been so busy planning Bryson's birthday party that most of the pins I have found have been for his Toy Story birthday party. I have been fairly successful with the pins I've already done, but some, not so much. I haven't taken many pictures of my creations (which is another thing I need to get better at), but I have copied the pictures from my pins. Hopefully after Bryson's birthday party, things will calm down and I will be able to be more crafty, so hopefully I will have more blog posts with my Pinterest projects. But for now, here's what I've done so far.<br />

This is very similar to the one that I did. I'm hoping to make some more of these because they are super easy and super cute. All I did was buy a wire wreath frame at Michael's and few different types of the same themed fabric. Then cut the fabric into small strips and tie them in knots around the wreath alternating the different types that I have. My first one wasn't super great, but I made one out of Auburn fabric and it turned out great! I need to get them out the attic and get a good picture of them. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

After experiencing all the tornadoes on April 27, I've learned to take the warnings more seriously. The local weathermen had been talking about the possibility of overnight thunderstorms and possible tornadoes for the night of January 22- the morning of January 23. I kept thinking how crazy that sounded to have tornadoes in January and it didn't really feel all that warm that day; but if the local weathermen say its going to happen, then we need to be prepared. We don't have a weather radio yet, and they haven't released a good weather warning app yet for my kindle, so the only thing we had was to go to bed with the tv on ABC so if James Spann broke in, we would be ready. Since it was a Sunday night, I stayed up later than normal and by the time I got in the bed at midnight, they had already broke in on the tv; not because we were under warnings yet, but because he wanted to keep us updated as early as possible. When I finally fell asleep, it actually looked like things weren't that bad. For some reason I woke up sometime around 3:00-3:30am.I have no idea why since I didn't hear any sirens going off, but I did and when I saw the tv, Tuscaloosa was under a tornado warning. Since storms from Tuscaloosa can either come our way or go my parents and my brother's way, I decided to stay up and pay attention. A few minutes later he said that the people of Pleasant Grove needed to take shelter because it was headed their way. I texted my Pleasant Grove friends hoping they would get the message and head to the basement, but come to find out, they were already down there. There was a tornado on the ground because it had done some damage in the Oak Grove community. Thankfully it looked like this storm wasn't heading our way but it was heading toward my parents. I texted my mom and told her to keep an eye on the weather. Thankfully she was up and already watching. A few minutes later, James Spann said it looked like there was a debris ball on the radar heading toward the Grayson Valley area. That's when I got really scared. My parents headed to the basement. I told my mom I would text her when it was all clear since they had lost power. Once they were given the all clear, I texted her, but didn't get an answer. I didn't worry too much though because the basement of their house does not have the best cell phone reception, but when the news started talking about severe damage in Center Point and Grayson Valley, I panicked. I got up and called her and thank God she answered. They were fine. They could hear the tornado though so we knew it was close by. At one point,my dad got nosy and looked out the window. He said everything was so calm, but that he could hear the tornado so he went back down stairs. Once daylight hit, pictures from the damaged areas were starting to be shown on the news.It was unreal to see those images on the tv. The town where I grew up, Center Point, had severe damage from an F-3 tornado. When they showed the images from Center Point Parkway, it brought tears to my eyes. I couldn't believe that the place where I grew up was so unrecognizable. All those childhood memories were wiped away in a matter in minutes. Then more reports from the Grayson Valley/Clay area started to surface. Neighborhoods were completely wiped out. These neighborhoods were less than a mile from parents house. My parent's house is the last one in the neighborhood. Next to their house are some woods. I'm not sure exactly how far but I remember when they bought that house, the realtor said that it was 60 acres and that there was a girls detention center on the other side. Since then, a neighborhood has been built next to that girls school and half of that neighborhood was flattened. The tornado was so close, not only could they hear the tornado, but my aunt (who also lives in that neighborhood) could hear the exact moment when the tornado tore through the Georgebrook community. I am so thankful that my family is ok. I'm not sure how they got so lucky not once, but twice, but I am very thankful that they did. My mom volunteers with the Disaster Relief team with the Birmingham Baptist Association so she had the opportunity to go and help feed all the workers. Since she was so busy helping, she hadn't had a chance to see the storm damage and to see just how close it was to them. The weekend after the storms, we rode around Center Point and Clay to show her the damage.<br />

It just breaks my heart to see all of these images. Seeing the damage in person is really heart breaking. Please continue to pray for the people of these communities as they try to rebuild their lives and prepare for the upcoming crazy Alabama Spring weather.Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-42921107077957881372012-02-15T22:33:00.000-06:002012-02-15T22:33:07.632-06:00Alabama TornadoesLast month, we had another round of tornadoes tear through our state. Our area was hit hard with tornadoes less than a year ago on April 27, 2011. The weathermen talked about the threat of tornadoes for days, but I think most people kinda brushed it off since we always have talk of severe weather but rarely ever actually have any. When we woke up that morning, it was to the sound of tornado sirens. A tornado had hit Cahaba Heights early that morning. It was a small tornado, but it did a lot of damage. The weathermen had only talked about bad storms for that afternoon, not the morning, so I knew it was going to be a bad day. Thankfully I had just quit my job and was staying home with Bryson so I was able to keep an eye on the weather the whole day and have everything ready for us in the front bathroom in case a storm did hit. I remember sometime around 1 or 2 pm, I was watching the local news station and saw a tornado form in Cullman. It was crazy to watch it form live on tv right before my eyes! I was talking to my dad while it was happening and the whole thing was just unreal. Then a few hours later, there was a tornado warning issued for Tuscaloosa. Robert had just got home from work, Thank God, and we both watched as that tornado formed and destroyed the city of Tuscaloosa. It was massive, and scary. I have never seen anything like that before. It was crazy to see it live on tv and to see all the debris being thrown around in the air. I figured that it would die down before it hit anywhere near me, so I didn't worry too much. I kept watching the news to make sure we didn't need to go to our safe place. At one point it seemed like the storm was coming our way, so we headed to the bathroom. I called my mom so she could keep us updated while we were in there. When she gave us the ok, we got out, cooked dinner and sat down to watch more of the weather. Not too long after we sat down, the meteorologist said that the storm was still on the ground and was heading toward the Grayson Valley area. That's where my parents lived. The radar showed a huge debris ball and the meteorologist was naming streets in my parents neighborhood. That's when I got scared. I called them to tell them to go to the basement. They did, so I waited. After it passed, I tried to call them, but there was no answer. After trying unsuccessfully for over 10 minutes, I panicked! I called my brother to see if he was able to reach them. He wasn't either. We both got really concerned and tried again. We finally got an answer and they were safe. The tornado had lifted up over their house! My dad peeked out the window by the stairs to the basement when he noticed that it got really quiet outside. That's when he saw a large cloud circling over the house. We later saw a picture that somebody had taken of the sky in their area when the tornado went through, and he said that's exactly what it looked it. Once the path of the tornado was released, it was so crazy to see that the storm stayed on the ground for so long, then literally lifted up over their house, then touched back down again a few miles later. I still to this day do not know how they got so lucky. Later in the night, more damage reports were released. I wasn't too concerned since I didn't know anybody that lived in Tuscaloosa. But then one of the news stations reported that Pleasant Grove was destroyed, specifically the neighborhood behind the Hill's grocery store. That's where our friends Carl and Joanna live. I got really worried and tried to call them. Their house phone was not working and we couldn't reach them on their cell phones. We were hearing reports of deaths in the area and got really scared. The only thing I could think to do was send a text to them and anybody else that may have talked to them. Finally a few hours later, I received a text from my friend Joanna saying that they were ok It think that day taught everybody to be more weather aware.Amy Dorseyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13383061799008032623noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7381564824034731351.post-20742984262339516692012-01-31T09:13:00.000-06:002012-01-31T09:13:40.408-06:00Poor Baby Bryson2 weeks ago, Bryson was very sick; probably the sickest he's ever been. It all started with a sneeze that Saturday, then he woke up Sunday with a snotty nose. We had a birthday party that day so we stopped at CVS and got some Benedryl on the way. The Benedryl didn't seem to work and on Monday I could tell that he wasn't feeling all that great. By the time we got home from school Monday night, he was running a fever; not too high, but still high enough for some Tylenol. I called into work on Tuesday since his fever was high enough to miss school and since the Benedryl wasn't working, I went to Walgreens and bought him some cough and cold medicine. Walgreens had a lot more to chose from for Bryson since most cold medicines are for ages 4 and up. This medicine had a fever reducer in it so I quit giving him the Tylenol. At about 330, his fever went up to 103.3 which meant the fever reducer wasn't working but I was scared to mix another medicine with it so I called the doctor. The nurse that answered chewed me out for giving him that medicine, and told us it was too late in the day to come in and that we would have to go to after hours. She didn't tell me if I could give him Tylenol or Motrin with the medicine I had already given him. Of course it was raining, and we need new tires on the car bad. So bad that it really shouldn't be driven in the rain. Thankfully we were able to make it to Lisa's and she took us to the after hours clinic.<br />
When we got there, he still wasn't acting like he felt bad, and he didn't even feel that warm. He was running around and playing in the waiting room. I just knew that we would get back there and they would tell us his fever was gone and that nothing was wrong with him. Bryson hates doctors and nurses so of course he lost it when they called us back. They weighed him and took him temperature. He weighed right under 30 pounds, but his fever was up to 104.6! The nurse had never heard of the medicine I was giving him before so she took it to the doctor to see if we could mix Tylenol with it. We could, so when she got back she made us strip Bryson down to just a diaper, give him Tylenol, and make him drink a ton of apple juice. I was freaking out, but tried to hide it so I didn't scare Lisa or Bryson. The first thing they did was a flu and strep test. Both came back negative. Then they checked his ears. Of course they were clogged with wax so she couldn't see which meant they had to clean them out. It was not fun! Then of course after all of that, he didn't even have an ear infection. The only explanation was a virus and that we had to give it 3-5 days to run its course and that if he still had a fever by Friday, to take him back to the doctor. By the time we left, his fever had come down to 102 and the doctor said to keep alternating Tylenol and Motrin and that we could keep taking that cold medicine. We got Chick Fil A on the way home, and Bryson was acting like he felt fine.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: left;">The next day, we stayed home from school. He seemed fine all day.

I went in his room and he was shaking so I woke him up, checked his temperature and it was only at 100. He kept shaking and crying, so I sat him on the couch and got his Tylenol and some apple juice. When I went back in the living room, his lips were turning a bluish color and he wouldn't stop shaking. I checked him temperature again and it had went up to 102.6 in just a few short minutes. I called the doctor and they made me do a skin test, which didn't work because his hands were blue. We headed straight to the doctor. By the time we got there, the Tylenol had kicked in so he wasn't blue or shaking anymore. Our doctor was out so we had to see one of the other doctors. His temperature by the time we got there had already dropped to 100.4. The doctor did a blood test and everything came back fine so he checked Bryson's ears. They still had a lot of wax in them but he was able to see in them after he had a nurse help Robert hold him down. The night before his ears were clear, but by then, he had an ear infection in his right ear. It just shows how fast an ear infection can start. He gave us a prescription for an antibiotic and we headed home. All Bryson wanted to do that night was wear his Buzz pajamas and cuddle up with his Toy Story blanket and Woody and watch The Fresh Beat Band on my Kindle Fire. It ended up being a very relaxing night. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5aSFUCizPluxDTHG4yZmWXEU7dsUrdaHuPMO2Z7jTJzUO0wD6d3OzYcLZ0osLKTbXvyTNrxVeCakaqfOHRe5S1rwECi6Ba-Db0uVASbvnTMAWL9_8OhdiSzMOhx_r25q-2b47biG0JoOL/s1600/DSC00556.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg5aSFUCizPluxDTHG4yZmWXEU7dsUrdaHuPMO2Z7jTJzUO0wD6d3OzYcLZ0osLKTbXvyTNrxVeCakaqfOHRe5S1rwECi6Ba-Db0uVASbvnTMAWL9_8OhdiSzMOhx_r25q-2b47biG0JoOL/s320/DSC00556.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />

We spent New Year's Eve with our friends watching Auburn win their bowl game. Our get together was originally just supposed to be a New Year's Eve party but then we found Auburn's bowl game would be played on New Year's Eve. It's so much fun watching Auburn football with our friends and we are so sad that football season is over. We didn't really do too much at our friends house other than watch football and enjoy each other's company. I am definitely getting old though. I was so tired before midnight and all I wanted to do was spend time with Bryson. Don't get me wrong, I love spending time with our friends, but I miss Bryson when I am away from him. Since Robert works nights now, he will more than likely have to work on New Year's Eve, which just means that I will get to ring in the New Year with Bryson, which I'm super excited about. I had so much fun as kid being allowed to stay up until midnight and toasting the New Year with a glass of sparkling grape juice. I can't wait to start that tradition with Bryson. Since we were so busy watching football and catching up with our friends, I forgot to take a lot of pictures. I did get a cute group shot of all the girls and of course a nice picture of me and Robert. I know it's a little late, but, Happy New Year! I can't wait to see what 2012 has in store for the Dorsey' family.<br />
