I cannot for the life of me figure out how to turn this right-side-up but here is the sonogram. She is definitely a girl. We are sooo excited. I decided to add pink highlights to my hair to honor her. June 19th, baby girl gates will make her debut!!!
Bryten and Big Bird bonded immediately. Bryten has recently loved playing in the sink with water and wanted to show Big Bird how much fun it was. The funniest was when Bryten decided to take a cup full of water and decided to dump it all over Big Bird. No provoking, nothing. It was as if he thought Big Bird wanted some water to cool off. Awesome!
Big Bird shows off his true skills. 
Brian's sis Jess and fiancee Leo came up a little later. Here we are at Sundance warming our hands by the fire. Loved Sundance! Got to see lots of cool movies. 
Love these guys!!
Here is Bryten at the Dino Museum. He loved digging in the sand to find bones.
Here he is playing with Leo at the sand/water area. He bonded with Leo really fast. Leo made sure that Bryten had plenty of toy dinos to play with.
At the Dinosaur Museum. Bryten had so much fun with Uncle Big Bird, Auntie Jess and Uncle Leo. Thanks guys for coming up! We had a blast!!!
This year was Christmas at the Honeys. Bella has been living with my mom for the last couple of months because she has been really testy so it was a nice reunion for Rusty and Bryten. Bryten got so much stuff it was crazy!
My mom got these insane camo pjs for each of us in honor of my sis who is in Afghanistan. Aren't the dino slippers so cute on Bryten? Thanks Auntie M Schmem! He loves them!!
We definitely all miss Auntie M Schmem but only the guys got the shirts.
Bryten was obsessed with this rocking horse my mom has at her house and wouldn't get off it. 
Getting ready for some fun with Daddy's shoes and a santa hat. 
Bryten absolutely loves the snow. He throws snow for Rusty all the time. We try to take them up to the mountains to play every week.
Although Bryten loves the snow, he doesn't actually like being deep in the snow; just on top.
Making snowballs to throw. Loves his new army mittens from the Gordons!
Making more snowballs with a dog throw stick.
Cutest little reindeer ever! 
So Bryten was our little Monkey this year, I was a witch and Brian was a crazy Pumpkin Head man. 
Halloween is Brian's favorite holiday and he does an incredible haunted garage every year for the past 3 years. This year we had some great helpers from the neighborhood. They were pretty crazy!
One of the guys jumped out at from the recycling bin while people got hot chocolate and homemade rootbeer (thanks Larsens! :)) He scared more than a few.
My mom came up to take Bryten trick or treating with me. We were both witches, doesn't she look fantastic? Bryten picked out his trick or treat Elmo bag. He was carrying it around everywhere. He ended up loving trick or treating. He loved knocking on doors or ringing doorbells and then picking out candy. Most of the neighbors let him pick more than one. We only went to a few since his bedtime is at 7 but he got more than enough. 
We took him to Kiddie Kandids to get his pictures done. He loved the sanitizer bottle and had to show us it multiple times.
He also really liked the pumpking and wouldn't let go of it.
Our little Monkey!
Justin and Jovana in San Francisco. We love them, they are sooo awesome and the perfect hosts!
Justin is an awesome uncle! Bryten is learning where face parts are so he decided to show Justin where his were. Justin was very patient with him. 
I think he just took something off the shelf that he wasn't supposed to and obviously he is very pleased with himself. 
Bryten loved hanging around Justin. They became buddies really quickly.
Bryten pulling on Justins nose. Again, Justin was really patient!
Bryten later became obsessed with his ear. He just kept pulling it and notice his tongue is sticking out because he is concentrating so hard. 
Here we are in San Francisco on a Bay Tour. Bryten wasn't fond of the boat since he couldn't keep his balance. Poor little guy! 
He did love looking through the manholes. He thought it was a special window just for him.
Love them both!
Bryten loved the sea lions. He kept trying to mimic the noises they were making. We didn't get any pictures of him chasing the pigeons on the pier but he loved doing that. He would laugh hysterically whenever they would start flying away. It was certainly his favorite thing. Thanks Justin and Jovana for a fantastic vacation!!
