FaMiLy FuN *

So I haven't posted in a long while so here are some fun pictures that will explain what the Bringhurst Family has been doing for the last 2 weeks!

 

Ethan tried FUN DIP for the first time. Gma Robyn sent some with his Valentines present

 

HE LOVED IT! 

 

He liked his green tongue to! lol. And if you saw my facebook page then you have read about what happened to his eye. He got a black eye at the playground because he threw his toy car at the slides wall and it came back and hit him right smack in the eye. lol

 

.... ha ha ha ha... Good thing Russ never checks this blog. He would get pretty mad that I posted this picture. I looked over at him sleeping, and he looked so cute! It looks like he is praying in his sleep. awwwww. So cute.

 

Ethan got a blister from his shoes because they were too small, so I asked him if he wanted a band aide and he said yes. I asked him "tigger or pooh" and he said TIGGERPOOH. lol. So I put tigger down first, and he yelled back POOOOOOHHHHHH. lol. So he had 2 bandages for 1 small blister. 

 
 

I did some art in my kitchen! I got that Bon Appetit sticker set at the 1$ store! Oh I love the $ store. Its awesome! I will post more pictures when I get more stuff hung up!

 

Ethan trying to wake daddy up. He has a good grip on his head and he is trying SO HARD to wake him up.. when that failed.. he resorted to this.....

 

.... "DADDY WAKE UP RIGHT NOW" He was yelling so loud.. but russ just laid there so Ethan resorted to his last option....

 

Jumping up and down on daddys bum! lol. Russ learned his lesson the hard way. The next time Ethan tried to wake daddy up, he got up after step 1. lol

 

Our family crest came in the mail today! SO EXCITED! Its very fancy looking. It has our crest in the middle then they sent the 2 other picture frames that explains our origin. The Wood's and the Bringhurst's.

Here is a close up! Its really nice. When we get some nails we are going to hang it up in our living room where all can see it! lol. 

Well everyone... thats kinda what has been happening for the last few weeks. Not too much, but my AWESOME parents are coming next weekend to say with us, so that should be pretty exciting. We always do fun stuff with my parents! I cant wait to see them!

The Old Town Photo....

So when I posted my last blog I put a picture up but it cut off me and Ethan.... so here it is...

Visit from Gpa and Gma :)

Gina and Ron were able to drive down from Utah to visit us this last weekend! Ethan was REALLY excited that they came. We got to go to the zoo one day, and we got to ride the Cost train to Old Town San Diego another day! Here are some pictures from their visit.

 

When Gina and Ron got here, Ron brought Ethans head lights. HE LOVES THESE. He has worn them all day today! He keeps having me turn off the lights so he can look in the dark with his head lights!

 

The zoo was so fun! Ethan liked showing Gma and Gpa around!

 

The snake was doing some cool stuff this time, so I took a picture! :)

 

He was a little worn out from a whole day at the zoo, good thing Gina and Ron brought the stroller! 

 

"You ready to ride the train Ethan"..... He gives a thumbs up!

We told Ethan the train wouldn't start unless he would pat his legs and say blast off (like they do on Little Einsteins) So he did. This pictures is the BLAST OFF part!

 

He loved seeing the Ocean. He kept saying he wanted to go to the beach, but it was too cold that day, so he had to deal with looking at it on the train. 

  

The train let us off right at Old Town. It was a fun place, lots of shopping and food places.

We ate at this place called Old Hungrys or something. I got a burger and Ethan got a grilled cheese. If you know me, you know that I eat EVERY thing with ranch, so I got a bowl for myself and Ethan saw it and wanted to try it. I told him he had to like it because he is MY son, and I cant have a son who doesn't like ranch.... HE LOVED IT! "mmmm its nummy" 

After a long day we took the train back to Oceanside, and Ethan was OUT. But he still had a piece of  grilled cheese in his hand, and every time we tried to take it out, he would wake up and yell for it back. lol. Gma had to hold his head up because it would fall when the train moved. lol.

We had SOOOO much fun with Gina and Ron, Thanks for coming to visit us! Its so nice to see family!

Ethans Hair/ROBYN POCKETS

Can I just say that I have always wanted to give Ethan a traditional mow-hawk ever since I found out I was having a boy. You know, the shaved sides, and the spiky middle. Well both of Ethan's grandmothers have pretty much forbade me to do it, so Im stuck with just my pretend mow-hawk... Here are some pictures of it! He looks so cute!

 

Nice side view.....

  

Perfect front view!

  

Seriously.... He looks so cute with a mow-hawk

  

PERFECT side view... I should be a hair dresser... lol. And yes.. His shirt says "you cant spell AWESOME without ME" lol... and Yes, I got him that shirt because I am awesome as well. It runs in the family. lol

  

See.... He loves his mow-hawk! :)

You cant see his hair in this picture, but I dont care... he is just so adorable, I wanted to post another picture of him. :) 

Ethan's Gma Gina is coming to visit this weekend... maybe I can convince her to let Ethan have a awesome mow-hawk!!!! We will see. :)

I also have to post how awesome I am at making my favorite food that my mommy dearest makes me for my birthday every year.... ROBYN POCKETS!!!!! Woot woot. I took pictures of it because I was so proud that they came out perfect.

 

YUMMMMMYYYYYYY.

Thanks mommy dearest for the recipe!

My Family

I feel so lucky to have such wonderful siblings. Being away from them is so hard for me because I have always been so close to all of them. This post is just to BRAG about how awesome my brother and sisters are. :)

Missy- My Hero

My older sister Missy. You know in a normal society an older sister usually is that sibling that teaches the younger sister how to do her hair, put on make-up, or talk to boys...... Well Missy didn't teach me any of that! :) Instead she taught me how to be tough, climb trees, throw a ball... anything NOT GIRLY I have learned from my older sister. And I wouldn't have it any other way. She is one of the toughest women I have ever met, I would like to think thats where I learned to be tough, is from Missy. But dont get me wrong, when Missy wants to be all girly, she can. She is so beautiful and has taught me so much about life, and how to be a great mother! Missy... you are my Hero, you have done so much, taught me so much about life and I hope to be as great as you are in every aspect of my life! I love you!

Nathan- My Inspiration

My older brother Nathan, or Nate as we like to call him. Most people who know Nate would say he is Shy, Quiet and Reserved..... But Missy, Meg and I know better. My brother is LOUD, HILARIOUSLY GOOFY, and very COMPETITIVE behind closed doors. :) My brother has always been out numbered in our family. Always surrounded by girls, and that is why I think he is the most compassionate man I have ever known. He looks through peoples faults and finds everything good in them. My brother is an extremely hard worker, and is just as smart. He has helped me through school, and in life. He may not know this but he has had such an impact on me. I love when he calls just to ask if i am doing okay. He is the brother every sister wants. Brother, you inspire me to be a better person, and inspire me to work hard. Thanks for being the greatest brother any sister could ask for. I love you!

Megan- My Best Friend

My baby sister Megan. Because she the youngest sibling, she automatically gets picked on by Missy, Nate and I. But we learned fast that Megan is a little spit fire. You pick on her, she will come right back and pick on you. Megan and I have always been really close. Even though we fought and would argue more then Missy or Nate, Meg and I have always known when the other needed a hug, or a good laugh. That is one thing I can always count on from Meg, a good laugh. She can get me out of any angry mood, just by doing a silly look or acting all crazy! Megan has always been about family. If you ask Russ, Becca or Casey about Megan loving and caring for our family, Im sure they could all tell you that, that is what Megan is all about. FAMILY. She has been such a great aunt for Riley, Cameron, Ryan, Ethan, Allie and Cooper. All of them love her and love to be with her. Megan... You are my best friend, and I can tell you anything and I know that you wont judge me differently.You listen to me and help me be my best. Your smile can make anyone's day. I love you.

Mom and Dad

Thank you for giving me such great siblings! Thank you for finding each other, getting married, and raising us kids. I know I pushed your buttons, gave you gray hair, and pretty much took you on a roller coaster ride. I love you both and am so thankful to be apart of this family. We may not have it all together, but together we have it all. :) 

My poor hubby!

The past few days have been a little hetic for us here. Russ has been to the ER twice due to an eye infection. We went to the ER saturday morning because Russ's eye had been progressively getting bigger through the week. We got to the ER at 8am and Russ got right in to see the doctor. So Ethan and I waited in the ER for Russ. That was a very long 3 hours. Ethan was HORRIBLE! He would not sit in the chair with me, he wanted to go find daddy, and when other kids were there he would try and go play with them. Finally at 11am the doctor pulled me and Ethan in to talk about Russ. The doctor said that he had a skin infection, that was on the outside of his eye. He said there was 2 kinds of infection, one that is on the outside of the eye, and one that is on the inside. The doctor said it was good this was the one on the outside because its much more easy to treat. So he gave Russ an antibiotic shot in his arm, which Russ said hurt REALLY bad, and sent him home with some meds. The doctor said that Russ would need to come back in the morning to have it looked at one more time. So this morning Russ went. Well It was hurting a lot more today, and it was ozzing a little bit of puss. (ewwww) So the doctor ordered a cat scan and put an IV in Russ. Ethan and I showed up after the cat scan, and I took some pictures while we were there. Ethan was worried for his daddy. He asked him "you hurt daddy?" "you okay?"... Russ told him he was hurt, so Ethan wanted to sit with him in the bed. lol. So there are some pictures of Ethan with Russ.

Laying down with daddy.

Waking daddy up to play games

You can see a little bit of his puffy eye.

having fun playing games in the ER

Russ got some drugs that made him feel good. lol. Here is the IV. Ethan called it "daddys owwie"

He liked laying on the bed with daddy!

The doctor said that the cat scan was negative (not having the infection inside the eye) so he released Russ! :) as of right now his eye is still big, but it should go down!

San Diego Zoo

.... I know Im a few days late..... but here are some pictures from our trip to the San Diego Zoo. I wont post a whole discription but I will tell you this.. Ethan LOVED the sky ride. I was worried that he would be scared... I mean, he doesn't like the merry-go-round, but he sure loved the sky ride. His favorite animal was the Hippos! He liked watching them swim. Enjoy the pics!

Hippos eating each other! Ethan wanted to swim with them!

The Hippos BUM! (that's what Ethan said)

 

 He was on this thing for 10 mins.

 

 Looking at the Zoo from the Sky Ride. He would keep saying "Hi" to all the carts that passed by

 He LOVED this thing.

 

 Me and Ethan on the Sky Ride

 

He was so good, I bought him a snake! 

 

 Giving the Elephant a hug!

 

This is how he looks for things, its his "look and listen scope" (its from little enistines) He heard some animals and said he needed to look for them

 

 This is the playground slide at the Zoo! He has so much fun playing with the other kids!

 

He loved looking at the BEES! He went and said... Berry... Berry... I tried telling him that Berry was only in the movie Bees... :) It was so cute!

 

... he had his first Churro! He was a little worried at trying it at first, but as you can see by the picture he scarfed it down once he found out it was SUGAR! lol

We had so much fun at the zoo, I will post some more pictures on my facebook page later!
