Pictures of Bracken By Chad

Chad (Brett's Brother) invested in a new camera and we get to benefit from his purchase.

Eating Like a Big Boy

It took a little longer than we thought and a little ingenuity, but Bracken finally began to regularly eat the rice cereal and oatmeal. He didn't seem to dislike it in the past, but he just didn't understand how to get it from the spoon down his throat.

So when Brett was giving him a little Tylenol, we realized he was pretty excited and lunged for the syringe. Therefore, we just put the cereal in a syringe and he loves it. It looks like he even has the tongue thing down now and would be fine with a spoon. But one step at a time.

He is getting so big!

Okay, Okay... Here are some pictures!

We have been hogging pictures of Bracken all to ourselves. Here are several pictures over the past couple of months with a little input from our little BC himself.

Hanging out in my Bumbo. This is where Mom and Dad put me when they are tired of me crying and they are trying to make dinner.


I had fun hanging out at Uncle Darren and Aunt Chelsea's wedding. All of these people I had never met sure liked holding me. I don't see what all of the fuss is.



What is that crazy face Aunt Nettie is making? Does she know she looks funny?



This is my Grandma and Grandpa Bracken and cousin Logan on my first Christmas. For some reason Grandma and Grandpa seem to really like my name.



My mom always likes to dress me up in all of these "cute" clothes, even if they are a little too big on me. Doesn't she know I am just going to spit up all over it anyway?



There that camera thing again... and now mommy is making a crazy face.



My cousin Candice really likes me. I wish she didn't have to live all the way in California.



Why do mom and dad take so many pictures of me on this blanket next to this black thing? It seems a lot smaller than it used to.



Daddy, now that face is just plain scary!



Just chillin' with my cousin Nicholas at Grandma and Grandpa Woolley's. We look pretty cool, don't we. It will be fun having three of my cousins the same age and two of them born in the same month.



Do you know all of the cool stuff this thing does? It is amazing. Thanks for letting me borrow it, Candice!



It may not look comfortable, but this is my favorite position in my bouncer regardless whether I am awake or asleep.



My Grandpa Bracken sure does love me.



Here is that blanket again. My parents thought it would be fun to put me in the same clothes they brought me home from the hospital in when I was 4 months old.

Ode to Utah State Basketball

Hey, even if you are not a basketball fan nor a Utah State fan, you really have to check this post out. Pure entertainment!


Last weekend we went up to Logan with our friends, Mark and Jen, to catch an Aggie basketball game. The Spectrum has always been a great place to watch a basketball game. The team is always solid and the fans have always been great, maybe sometimes even a little over the top. BUT... until you have experienced a game from inside that stadium within the last two years, you don't know what you are missing.

The incredible student section is one of the craziest, loudest, and best-choreographed that you will find in the nation. Have you heard the Scottsman? Have you witnessed the "winning team" chant? Have you ever seen Wild Bill? Well if can't answer yes to those questions, it is time to head on up to Logan and experience it for yourself. You don't even have to watch the game to be thoroughly entertained, Dy didn't.

Check out these clips and I challenge anyone to tell me of a better experience anywhere in the nation. According to Wichita State coach... there isn't.

1. Welcome to the Spectrum!
2. Winning Team Chant - "You gotta love coming to the Spectrum"
3. Winning Team Chant - "Better choreography than the Mormon Tabernacle Choir"
4. Winning Team Chant - The game we were at
5. ESPN's Not Top Ten
6. Meet Wild Bill
   

Out from the Darkness

So, after a year of barely catching neighbors wireless signals, trips to Brett's parents, and very few blog posts, WE HAVE THE INTERNET!

It took a year, but we finally caved in earlier this week. The primary reason is so we can talk to Dy's family through Skype (and anyone else who wants to), but there are obviously other benefits for us. It was nice to have an excuse for not updating the blog, though. I guess that means we better be more diligent about it.

We will get some other things going here shortly... stay tuned.
