What I Did While Tres Was Gone

By: Bryant

On Thursday, we had dinner with Grandma at Olive Garden, and I hurt my nose. Do you see the boo boo??

On Friday night, I spent the night at Grandma's house with Luke, Sierra, & Grandma. I watched Luke play his gameboy. We had pizza for dinner, then the next morning, Grandma made hard biscuits with jelly. I watched 'The Pink Panther' [Mom's note: the old movie, and not the cartoon] and it was funny when he said "Hamburger!"

Saturday, when Mom came and got me, we went to Target. I got an icee and some popcorn and I ate that while Mommy shopped. Then we went to the moon restaurant [Mom's note: Full Moon Bar-B-Que]. A bunch of mom's friends were there and while she talked a lot, I got to take some pictures. Mom let's me do photo assignments sometimes. My Mom's friend Ms. Traci was there, and I like to play with her little girl Bolivia [Mom's note: Olivia]. It was fun to take pictures of her. For some reason, she wanted me to quit taking pictures. [Mom's note: There are literally at least 20 more pictures of Olivia.] So I took pictures of other things...like Ms. Crystal taking a picture of me!

On Sunday, we went to church. Then we went at the mall for lunch. I got to see Bolivia again cause they came and ate with us. Mom said I couldn't ride the carasel cause she spent all her money on ECBs at CVS [Mom's note: All of my CASH!]. Then we went back to CVS again. Mom helped Bolivia's mom while I ran and laughed with her. We got in trouble a little, but not much.CVS is okay, but I liked it better when Bolivia's dad took us outside while the moms got done. We had to leave then, cause we went and saw Wall-E. I really liked it, but sister got loud and Mommy had to go stand by the door. After that, we went over to Grandma's house again and Tyler was there with Aunt Kaylab and Uncle Matt [Mom's note: That's not a typo... he calls her 'Kayleb' with a 'b.']. I played with Tyler until I was really tired.

On Monday, Mom woke me up to get ready to go to Chuck E. Cheese's, [Mom's note: He's singing this.] where a kid can be a kid!Mom & Aunt Kaylab followed us around with the babies. And we had fun!!! I really liked riding the horse and the ride with Barney.

Then we went to Toys R Us and played around a little bit. That night we went and ate at Outback with Grandma, Grandaddy, Aunt Jennie, Aunt Kaylab, Uncle Matt, Tyler, & Brody. It was fun.

Now, I'm waiting on Daddy and Tres to come home so I can play with them, cause Mommy doesn't play X-box good.

Bro-Bro

My little nephew Brody is getting big already! He's nearly three months and so stinkin' cute I can hardly stand it! Yesterday, I took the kids over to play for a little while and got to visit with Kayla. At first, little man was in good spirits. Then he got a little tired... Then he decided it was time for a nap! I mean he was awake one minute and passed out the next! He was making these soft little sounds and smiling at first... and it just melted my heart! Kayla and I think that Brody and Soph favor a little bit!

Cheers

Rest

We are in Valdosta and enjoying NOT unpacking or working on the house. I wish that Santa would show up and magically finish everything while we're gone! I slept until 9 this morning and it felt so good! We are all enjoying time with family and the boys are playing to their little hearts content with cousins. They all have
Nerf guns that are a big hit. Tres actually hit Hank smack dab in the middle of his forehead last night. It was so funny so he didn't get in trouble! :) I actually thought that he had hit Hank's glasses because of the loud 'Whack!'

A couple short of a dozen!

The last time we had all the cousins together AND Grammy Boemer was there for a visit, we took a picture. That was when Tres and Donovan were newborns! I think they were about a month or two old. So five years later, here we are again!
Grammy Boemer likes to show-off her great grandkids! So we framed this picture for her to take home with her.

More from Valdosta!

The first night of our Valdosta trip, Bryant tripped and skinned his nose pretty good. I was a little bit frustrated cause we were gonna do family pictures when we got back, but couldn't because of Mr. Accident Prone!! Then after we got home, he sneezed a bunch and burst a blood vessel in his eye!
Heather tries to figure out how many days till Christmas!
Aunt Jackie gets her baby fix in!

The boys spent from dawn till dusk outside playing, swimming, and running. Donovan has a lot of midevil dress-up stuff and swords, and the boys had a field day with those!! We were treated to a duel every time we sat outside!
Ryan, our only teenage boy cousin couldn't resist our little charmer either!! He asked several times to hold her. I love how all these kids love each other.

Ashton looks like a pro with Sophie, huh? That's probably due to little sister Heather! Ashton is very natural with babies and little ones! She is one of the most precious and sweet spirited young ladies I know!
And Fletcher jumped right in there with Sophie too! This was his second or third time holding her! I think Ashton, Fletcher, and Heather all wouldn't mind another baby in the house. But my SIL isn't cooperating, are you Bets?

It was a fun-filled visit, as usual! The kids were loud and funny! The girls were more girly than I remembered. And all four of the little ones had such a blast with each other, they even started out the trip with a sleepover in Grammy's den! We'll be back at Christmas to see you all.

Grammy Boemer meets her TENTH great-grandchild!

This is Hank's Dad's Mother, Margaret Boemer. She was at the Boemer's visiting when we came down, so she got to meet her tenth great-grandchild, and fifth great-granddaughter, Ava Sophia. She was a huge hit with all the girls!!All five girls together! Sophie evened out the boy-girl ratio on the Boemer side of the family!

Heather is Bryant's age, and was especially taken with the newest baby girl! She liked the 'trick' Sophie could do! It's also a favorite of my boys... getting her to hold your finger or small toys.

Jennie's Birthday!

Jennie turned 35 today! We celebrated on Wednesday by having a family dinner at Sol Azteca. Jennie likes to do it there because there is usually a marriochi band. But for some reason, they weren't available. She was a little disappointed, but nothing a little chips and salsa couldn't cure!The men had a football meeting. I guess they think if they talk about football strategy, somehow, our team will play better! :)And Ava Sophia wore a special shirt to help celebrate her Aunt Jennie's birthday. Can you read it? It says, "You think I'm cute, you should see my AUNT!" I had to get a picture with all of the aunts!
Here's my brother Matt giving us the helium version of "Happy Birthday." All the kids thought this was great!


Have I told you guys that Kayla and Matt are expecting again? She is due April 8th. She says she feels like its a boy again. But I'm thinking girl! Mainly because I have so many cute things I could pass on! :)And I think seeing two little girl cousins play together would be so fun!!
