Spring Time = Get in Shape

      Ok, so as everyone knows the weather outside is getting very nice and with it comes time to get the dust off of the workout shoes and clothes and get back into shape.   I have decided to finally climb out from behind the tv and out of my winter slumber den to start losing some lbs.  I started to take the HCG shots that I have done in the past to give me a little head start in the weight loss department.  No the shots don't hurt and it really isn't inconvenient, but the limit on choices of food get old real fast but its only 23 days and then you are off it.   I started on Monday the 3rd and lost 15 lbs. that first week and now I am rounding the bend on the end of this round just a few more days to go and I have lost about 20 lbs.

 
  We as a family have started to go on a nightly walk around our neighbor hood, we take the long route which is exactly 1.5 miles and by then Bryson is ready to get his last snack and then off to bed.  this is a picture of how he usually likes to ride in his stroller.  He likes his feet up on the tray and his golf ball in his hands it's the one he got from his Great Grandpa Stay while we were staying with them in St. George.

  I have been working out with my Dad and brother Bronson every other day and then working Denise out in our clubhouse on the other days, while I watch Bryson.  He loves to watch her run on the elliptical machine it is hilarious and loves the full length mirrors.  He has even started to work on his own workout for strengthening his biceps.  I never look this happy when I am in the middle of a workout I am told I look like I am really mean.

This is how I roll

    
First Friday without mom

  Bryson and I hung out at the house and had some breakfast he is now eating anything you put in front of his face.  Loves all the fruit and Vegetables and his slowly starting on the meats.   He just stares at everything on your plate and would like you to allow him just a small sample of everthing.  He makes the funniest noises when he eats.  He copies his mom because she tells him yummmm after ever bite so that his what he does after every single bite and he growls at you before every new bite because you are taking to long to get it into his mouth.

We then decide it was time to get some bath time in before we played and took some lunch down to Denise's office.   Bryson is so fun in his little tub he loves to splash in the water with these flashing lite ducks that his Grandma Hyatt game him they are his favorite toy in the tub.  Then because he seems to have no fear of the water he likes to lay down flat as possible to get his ears under the water then he smiles up at you while he just lay's there.

Unscheduled stop at Grandma Hyatt's

 I thought I would surprise my mother with a visit to her office I know how much she likes to show off the baby and how big he is getting.  To my surprise she had taken the day off to help out my younger brother Tyler and watch her other grand baby Bentley, so we drove to Grandma Hyatt's house and there we found her and Bentley playing in the backyard in the "secret garden" as she calls it.  There we stayed and played for way to long enjoying the warm spring day.  In fact it was a little to warm and I got in trouble I let the baby get a little pink on the nose, ears and arm.  We had a lot of fun, special thanks to my cute nephew Bentley & my great Mom for sharing the book reading marathon in the secret garden.

It  turned out to be a really great day and I got him home to a nap just before Denise got home, so I looked like I was being a responsible parent.   We then met my parents for dinner and then went home to watch a movie.  Perfect end to a great first Friday.

Back to Work :-(

        Well I am back again, a few things have occurred since I last wrote. First thing that has happened in our lives is Denise has been asked by her former boss "Carl" (Great guy by the way) asked her if she would please come back to work doing exactly what she was doing before she left to raise Bryson.

  This came as a shock for Denise and I as we have been asking in our prayers for a little help because of the slow economy the photography has not been quiet as busy so to help fill in the gaps that occur once in a while since usually that is what her check was used for. She took the opportunity and works on Fridays only! Now I know this is a good thing because it allows Denise aka"mom" time to get out of the house and talk to adults. I get some alone time with the kid and no I don't count as an adult just ask my family.
  I have gone two Fridays without her and I do miss the extra time it gave us together, however I have had a lot of fun just hanging out with Bryson, he is getting big and his personality is so much bigger than he is. So special thanks to my wife for going for it! I know its hard not being there with him even for one day.
