Bridger Turns 6! (& Winter 2017)

Bridger turned 6! We had a Car's themed party for him, with a racetrack for matchbox & hot wheels. He had some of his favorite friends over (Oliver, Teddy, Kevin, Asaph, Adrien, Julien, & more)

On January 20, 2017 we attended the Inauguration Ceremonies, it was a great experience!

Even more fun than the inauguration was the playground and Shake Shack next to our DC Hotel!

At the end of the inauguration, it had been a long, long, long, looooong day. We were tired, cold, hungry and had been standing for 4-5+ hours.

To get us through winter my boys love to pretend to be different things. Like Columbia Lions, pretty great, huh?

How about super heros the party store will supply?

We love the great costumes from home...

Hey, let's be each other, wait who's jammies are those?

Mostly they just love to be brothers with a big sucker!

Bridger discoverd the joys of a salad for dinner. "Mom this is the best meal you've ever made me"

Bronxton proselyting as he takes his Sunday afternoon nap on the walk home from Church. Isn't he the cutest missionary ever???

NJ Cousin time - we went to the intrepid together, super fun!

Some favorite secret spots:

Sneaking Reese's Puffs

In trees, always

At the tippy top of the jungle gym

On top of huge snow piles

In their bed fort, its the best!

Or next to the couch, and often inside it!

Home Goods toy area, where treasures are always found.

The Pillow Bridger really, really, really wanted. (you can see why?)

Macy's Flower Show - March 30, 2017

Especially great because it ended with McDonald's Ice Cream. Mom win!

 Projects to get us through the end of winter and rainy days until warmer weather...

They liked this project so much, they both made atleast 3 or 4 more fishes each.

Mom had to have a project as well, for the boys room.

Christmas 2016

 Christmas is in the air, and the tree is up in our new apartment! Hooray!!!

And the little tree we used to use in our Studio is now perfect for B&B's room!

Bronxton reverting to his babyhood..

Unplanned Twins again...

Macy's Santa, its a tradition. This is the first year Mom didn't have to join the picture.

More treats than we can eat... 

Bridger experiencing the excitement of christmas packages arriving, he carried this one all the way up the stairs by himself. Have to wait until Christmas Day! 

 Christmas Day, Like Father like son...

 B&B shirts made affectionately by Dad Extraordinaire.

Leapfrog Book for Bronxton!

Santa brought Bridger his first BIKE, YIPEE!!!

This is pretty much where we spent our New Years Eve, at a Porsche Dealership purchasing a used Volkswagon Passat Wagon. It was a loooong process...

Back to School & Halloween 2016

First day of School at MSC (PS 333) Manhattan School for Children. Not only were we lucky enough to get into a lottery school, but so did Oliver (Bridger's best buddy  from church) and they even got into the same Kindergarten class with Amy!!! What are the odds.

And even though school had started it still felt like summer with some last adventures in warm September air... (DUMBO)

Jane's Carousel

Two of my favorite shots of the city, not too shabby...

 

As Presidential Election time is nearing, Bronxton has my vote!!!

Brothers

2nd City Walk with E'lle and Amber! This time we started at the top of Manhattan/Inwood and walked the Hudson to Chelsea Piers (about 13 miles)

 

Cutest Halloween Pumpkin

Who me?

For the first time in year Micah dressed up for Halloween, can you blame him, CALVIN needed a Hobbes... When we went trick or treating in Harlem, Micah was mistaken for many different types of tiger and also was asked for many photo ops. He was called everything from "Tony the Tiger" to "Tigger". But it's ok, we knew what tiger he was and who he belonged to...

So. much. candy.

They decided to get organized and sort into categories.

Fall in the city, Brooklyn Bridger was a special place from the time we met.

Thank you to my sister Diann who captured a family shot worthy of our Christmas card that year!

Bronxton with his cute Nursery mates - Graham, Simon, Finn 

 Ready to skateboard mom!

One of the boys favorite stop in Central Park, the Dana Discovery Center by the Meer on 110th. I can't tell you how many pictures we have of these soldiers...
