Brandon, who's that?

Brandon is getting so smart. He has a book with the family's pictures. He knows Brad-"bubba" and grandma-"gramamama" and chase-"CHSS sound" but best of all Brooke!

Rice Krispies

Brandon's favorite snack lately are marshmallows; so I thought we could mix it up a bit. This was the first time I had ever let him cook on the stove with me. I hope that wasn't a bad idea. He loved stirring the mallows and watching them melt. Of course his favorite part was pounding the rice krispies into the pan. I am sure no body wants to eat these now that Brandon has had his hands all over them. The truth is, he loved them so much; I am not sure he would share. He also liked stretching them out as far as they would go. It was fun to watch him get so excited and enjoy his hard work.

Falling in Fun

Falling for you

Brandon is so lucky. He has the greatest dad in the world. Chris always seems to find a way to make life fun. I think Brandon has even reached the age where he realizes that his dad is more fun than mom. Lucky for me, mom is still more cuddly. Last night we raked up half of our leaves. The pile reached to the bottom limb of our tree. We had fun tossing Brandon in. The first time he sunk under and we couldn't even see him. Chris dove in and found him. It was pretty funny. We were more careful after that. Brandon liked running through the pile and tossing the leaves. I was really itchy when we were done so I got in the shower and realized I was having an allergic reaction. I was scared because last time I had one I was miserable for a week. I told Chris to bring me some medicine but I didn't realize he gave me two pills instead of just one until I had swallowed them. I was out 30 minutes later and feeling pretty groggy for the whole next day. No more leaves for me.

Halloween 2008

Sometimes life gives you sweet rewards. After a long day Brandon conked out in his high chair. So cute!

Twilight

Ok, well I have been waiting and waiting and finally the month has arrived. Twilight will be released!!!! This is a really cool website I found for all of you Twilight lovers. You can download icons, desktops other pics, etc. Also, you can take a quiz and find out which Twilight character you are most like. Cool huh. I took it and found out I am an Esme. Chris refuses but maybe I will get him to cave. Count downs on girls!! Oh yeah the site is http://twilightersanonymous.com

Halloween

I can't believe how much has happened since last year. Brandon is growing so fast. We were just looking over our blog and he started naming everything he saw. I didn't even know he could say pumpkin but clear as day he saw it and said it. He had such a good time trick-or-treating. His Grandma Hess got special clearance for us to come into her work and between her friends at work and herself, his bag was already half full of candy! That gave him enough time to realize that this was an excellent day and he was ready to go that night. Chris found his old newspaper wagon in grandma's garage so we packed it up and were on our way. Brandon would run up to the house and start knocking on the door. If someone didn't come immediately he would pound!!! Then after they would give him candy he would give them a look and they would give him another piece. Not to mention the silly people that just held out their bowl to him. That will teach them. Little hands can grab a lot. One thing is for sure. Brandon has his Grandma Bliss's sugar tooth.
