Day One Hundred and Forty-Three

Family Fun- Our family couldn’t get enough of Bronson while we were in Utah and he was eating it up!! I loved watching Bronson get to know all of Nicks family! He is one loved little boy!!

This is Bronson with Uncle Kelly (Nicks Uncle).

Day One Hundred and Forty-One

Boy Meets Snow- It was so much fun to see Bronson in the snow for the very first time. We were in Utah several days before it actually snowed. He had fun running around in it but when we made him sit and play in it, he wasn’t very thrilled. Maybe one day he will be excited about our winter trips to Utah and actually look forward to the cold and snow!

Day One Hundred and Forty

All bundled up- Thanks to my sister for handing down this winter coat from cousin Drew. We had to scrounge up clothes to pack for this little guy for the holidays in Utah. We were able to find this cute hat and matching gloves for him at our Old Navy here. He managed pretty well in the cold weather considering he is freezing with anything below 55*! I loved seeing him all bundled up, it’s a sight we never get to see!

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Eight

Family Pictures- We had the whole Jensen Family together for Christmas this year so we made sure to get some family pictures done with both Grandma and Grandpa Jensen. The last family picture we had together was when we had four little grandkids and now we have eight!

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Seven

Christmas Morning- This Christmas was so much fun! Now that Bronson is older and able to understand the presents a little bit more he was so excited to see the Christmas lights and his buggy that Santa brought him for being a good boy this year!! After presents we made Christmas breakfast and enjoyed our gifts for the day. That night we had our traditional Pay Family get together. It was so great to see all of our family that we hadn’t seen in over a year!!

Day One Hundred and Thirty-Six

Out of the norm- On Christmas Eve we went to lunch at one of Nick’s favorite restaurants with Aunt Melesa (Nick’s sister) and Uncle Jeff at Winger’s. Bronson tried all sorts of new food thanks to Uncle Jeff. He had celery, wings & popcorn. He was in heaven!!

Day One Hundred and Thirty-One

Waiting for Santa- We took Bronson to the mall with intentions to meet Santa for the first time but the wait time was about an hour and a half (and we had no stroller)! We also searched out the prices for pictures with Santa and they were WAY too expensive so Nick and I staked out the surrounding area for a good place that he could hide out and sneak his own pictures of Bronson and Santa because just a visit was FREE! Wrong, I know! Finally, after about 25 minutes of waiting and the line going no where, I decided I was done. At lunch earlier Chick-Fil-A had a sign that Santa was coming to make sugar cookies with the kids at 5:00, so we had some time to kill. We decided we would visit this Santa instead…. huge disappointment when Santa came out with a cow head, I should have known!! So, sad to say Bronson didn’t get to meet Santa this year but we will try again next year!!

Day One Hundred and Thirty

This picture makes me smile!!

In a hurry?- My poor child was walking funny as we were trying to rush him out the door. Humm, I wonder why? I’m sure he was wishing he could tell us that something was wrong, instead he just had to wait for one of us to notice!!

Day One Hundred and Twenty-Eight

Child Labor- Bronson is starting young with his chores around the house!!

Day One Hundred and Twenty-Seven

Keep away pile- Bronson had me laughing so hard this day. These are all the things that he grabbed to play with but was not allowed to play with! He would bring a diaper to me and go back for another until I finally shut his bedroom door so he couldn’t get anymore!!

Day One Hundred and Twenty-Five

But I don’t like it Dad- My mom loves to find new toys for the kids to play with when they come to visit and this one did not go over well with Bronson. I put it over his shoulder to let him play with it and he started to scream! We are mean parents and forced him to play with it because it gave us a good laugh!! (only for a minute though)

Day One Hundred and Twenty-One

More teething- something HAS to explain the interrupted sleep I am getting every night!! I have yet to see evidence of a new tooth but this cures his pain of whatever sort he seems to be feeling!

Day One Hundred and Eighteen

Did I mention- that Bronson is starting a new thing of waking up in the middle of the night (because of teething… I thought) and I’m really tired. Here is the result of having to wake up twice in the middle of the night and forgetting to change Bronson’s diaper. He was soaking wet and needed some new bottoms!!

Day One Hundred and Seventeen

Chipmunk- We call Bronson the little Chipmunk when he eats because he tries to put as much food in his mouth at one time and stores it all in the side of his cheek until he can get to it.

Day One Hundred and Sixteen

Out of Control- I guess he knows what he is doing but I should NOT have to worry about this happening with anyone for a LONG time. He could not get enough of that window. Poor kid doesn’t even know what he is really doing!!

Day One Hundred and Eight

Opps- I blame it on a teething baby and a tired mama!!

Day One Hundred and Five

Am I doing something wrong??- Can you see the look in his eyes? He doesn’t care that he isn’t supposed to be doing this but he is doing it anyways!! Please tell that eventually he will listen to me!!

Day One Hundred & Four

Oh My Son- He can get wedged into any little corner he wants to!! I find him behind the rocking chair with all kinds of books and his little elephant that he sleeps with just having his alone time. You really do make me laugh my little babe!!

Day One Hundred & One

Mad about something- He is so much like me and his dad, he HATES to be told what to do!! This little monster has a serious obsession with the diapers and he was very upset I was telling him NO!

Day One Hundred

Boy Zone- My son is such a blessing to me in so many ways. He has taught me so much that I would not be able to learn without his sweet face! I can say that I have chilled out a LOT in the last 6 months and learned to start letting things go! It’s about dang time that I have started to figure that out!! I am by no means “normal” still when it comes to being a fanatic about my home but I’m getting better. Day by day!!
