Happy New Year from the Bryans!!

We went to Lexington this weekend to bring in the New Year!

Friday night we went to Papa's house to watch the UFC fight.

Lincoln had some Elmo slippers there and Jace LOVED them!

He calls Elmos "Melmo"

Only in Lexington on the backroads can you catch Jace's driving

He LOVES to drive the truck with Daddy.

We went looking for ducks on uncle Nathan's tank but didn't see any so we went fishing instead :)

(didn't catch any fish either )

New Years Eve was a little low key for us. It was nice!

Spent the evening with our precious baby boy and then sat around a fire at the barn.

We bought some fireworks especially for Jace.

They had a little bag of small fireworks that didn't pop much and is perfect for the little guys!

The bag had sparklers, smoke balls, popper that you throw, tanks and a snake. 

  

Daddy lighting a sparkler

Not too sure about the sparkler.......but he LOVED the poppers that you throw!!

I thought for sure he would not like the poppers but he proved me wrong big time!

He loved them so much he kept asking "want?" because he wanted more.

When we ran out he was SO upset! 

Daddy carrying him back inside - he was upset but still said "cheese" for the camera LOL

Jace got a 1st Trampoline from JoJo.

I thought Jace was going to have nothing to do with it.

He has always hated bounce houses or anything with enclosures but that WAS all before surgery.

Its pretty neat to see him be a normal toddler and LOVE his "Jump"!

We wonder what his doctors would think about him being on a trampoline with it being only a little past a month since surgery....? They DID say to treat him like a normal kid.....so we are ;)  

This was the first day he had the trampoline and the next day he got better at jumping.

I didn't get a video of it - I was having too much fun watching him having fun!

Trey and Keely came by to play with Jace and after watching Trey ride on the 4 Wheeler Jace was interested in it again. He finally gets the idea that he has to keep his foot down on the pedal to go!

This was so exciting too!

Before surgery he was not interested in his 4 wheeler at all and didn't understand to keep his foot down.

He would drive.....point to where he wanted to go......then start going in that direction :)

We came home last night and it was nice to sleep in our beds :)

The barn is comfy but out beds at home are the BEST!

I woke up this morning just a little bit after Jace woke up walked into his room to find this mess....

Powder Play.........or mess



And......today marks Week 18 for June Bug......the belly is getting bigger and baby is moving a lot!
