My story...

Travis and I have been married since 1996. We have 4 beautiful children: Madelyn (1998), Jacob (2001), Bryson (2004), and Allyson (2007). I love being a mom and wouldn't change a thing (most of the time!).

The rest of the party

After dinner (Bryson chose waffles, eggs, bacon and sausage), it was time for presents.
Jacob got him a bunch of Pokemon figures. (I think Jacob is as excited to play w/ them as Bryson is.)
Maddy got him a cool thing that shoots 3 cars and 3 planes at the same time when you punch down the launcher.
Bryson was too busy checking out the sunglasses from Grandma and Grandpa to look at the camera. I think this is a "thumbs up" sign. Thanks for the shirt too!
He also love the dinosaur. He's pretty scary when walking, chomping, and moving the fan-like cheek things.
Grandma got him a Nerf gun, or as Bryson calls it, a "Nerth" gun. He loves trying to get them to stick to things.Grandma also got him this stylin' shirt and shorts.
Mom and Dad got him this Pokemon mountain to use w/ all his new Pokemon figures. It even oozes slime like a volcano.
The thing he was most looking forward to was GUM!
Our family rule is that you can't chew gum until you are 5. All the kids totally looked forward to it! We could probably just have given him gum and he would have been thrilled! Simple pleasures!

Bryson is into zebras right now and wanted a zebra cake. Travis's first comment was, "Why do they always want cakes w/ black frosting!" Well, the only zebra plates that we could find had a blue and white zebra, so he decided he'd rather have his cake look like the plate. Whew! Blue frosting is a lot easier than black! I think it turned out pretty good and Bryson was thrilled.
Make a wish! He is being really careful not to tell us what he wished for until it comes true. Let's hope he didn't wish for something crazy and get disappointed!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRYSON!
We hope you had a great time and thanks for sharing all the fun w/us!
