Happy 7 weeks sweet boy

Joshua spent his 7 week milestone with a tummyache. Poor baby has a few issues with digestion. So instead of a good nap, he stays up in the afternoon, with a few scattered cat naps here and there. He then gives us 9 solid hours at night. I'll take the sleep:) Notice he is sitting in the Bumbo seat. Such a big boy! Joshua has pretty good head control for his age. I love you Joshua!

Morning romp

Housework you will have to wait, I am going to post while all is quiet at our house! I'm sure those of you with preschoolers can relate. So this morning I kicked the boys out to play. It has been so hot recently that they only play for about 15 minutes before coming inside. And if you know my boys, it really must be hot since they would live outside! So this morning it had rained and cooled things off a bit. Nathan was concerned about the wet grass (he has learned Mommy doesn't appreciate it when he gets wet:) I told him it was ok today and please get outside. Here is what was waiting for me on the porch...

I guess I asked for it!

Notice the humidity,

my lens is fogged up.

Cameron copies his big bro

all the time.

Dirty boy!

Nate wouldn't hold still for a

head shot, so I settled for his feet.

I carried the boys directly to the shower at 10am. Hope your day is as wild as mine! (A good wild!) Kids are so funny, unpredictable, and able to run mommy through emotions of anger to joy almost instantaneously. Thank You Lord for our children. You teach me so much through them!

Introducing Joshua Ryan Bruza!

Joshua Ryan 8lb 8oz 20 in

We are very happy to finally meet our new little boy. He is precious. At 8lb 8oz, he is the biggest baby so far. He has a great appetite too!


The boys are enamored with this new little fella. "Hugs" were given a little rough...we had to keep emphasizing how fragile baby Joshua was.

Minutes after Joshua made his appearance.

Chad's parents are with us for the next week. We are having a great visit and they are a huge help. We are blessed to have a wonderful family.

The Boys

Here are some tidbits about the boys...

The picture is of Nathan, Mommy, and Daddy's date to see Toy Story 3. It was a cute movie. Nate did great. He enjoyed every minute and sat still! Buzz Lightyear came with us, Chad joked that Nate reminded him of a Trekkie:)

Kids say some of the funniest things. These days Cameron has a huge southern accent, words with 2 syllables have 3 when he says them. I should get some video of him talking...it will make you laugh.


The other day I heard Nathan say to Cameron, "I am going to suck your blood Cameron!" I wasn't happy to hear this and I let Nathan know. He then tells me he is being a tick. Chad was bitten by a tick recently and Nathan caught on that ticks suck blood. Ha ha. I thought one of his friends had exposed him to vampires or something.

Nate also scared his mama by sneaking off his water wings at the pool when I wasn't looking. He stayed in the shallow end, thankfully. Needless to say, he was in big trouble for that stunt. He can barely touch so when I raised my voice for him to get out of the water this minute, he bounced to the stairs with his head barely above the water.

One more Nathan moment...Cameron was fussing on the way home from church. Both boys had been warned about their attitudes at this point. So Nathan says to Cameron, "Cameron! Don't have a stinky attitude like me!" Wow, that's honest.

On another note, we don't have anymore clues for this new baby's name. Sorry. We were going to post one each week, but ran out. Either way I've talked to some of you and you all seem to have a pretty good idea of what you think his name will be.

This post is a bit rambling, sorry about that. We sure are ready to meet the newest Bruza baby. Hope he comes soon! Until next time...have a great week!
