Kyson's Closet

h


Alright, alright... TJ has been telling me that Kyson has way too many clothes, but I don't believe him. Not even now. I was hanging up his new Christmas clothes (bought mostly by me) and realized that there wasn't enough room on his shirt rack. What! So I went through and pulled some that were getting "outdated", but even now it's still snug and if I get one more thing I don't think it will fit. Dang it. What is a mom to do? I even ran out of hangers and had to buy some today. I'm starting to think TJ may be right. But hey, babies need to look good too! Hi, my name is Bong and I'm a shopaholic.

The Bain Fort: Enter If You Dare

My little brother stayed at our house for a couple nights and we built this fort for Kyson to play in. I had a box of huge safety pins so we pinned everything in its place and used all kinds of blankets. Who said you can't have fun for free?

Christmas Parties, Gifts, and Fun

Christmas was so fun this year. Even though Kyson didn't know what was really going on, he loved playing with the wrapping paper and boxes. He got toys, clothes, and money. This year we did a sub for santa and it was awesome. TJ and I have decided that every year we are going to teach our kids to do the same. There are so many families who need our help. We want our kids to know what it's like to help someone only in exchange for the way it makes them feel. I hope next year, you all can help out.

We sincerely want to wish you all a very Merry Christmas! Take the time to enjoy these moments. Don't stress about dinner and presents... Remember what CHRISTmas is really about... We love you all so much... See you in the new year! Hugs and Kisses all around

My Better Half

I just wanted to let everyone know that my husband is wonderful. No, he didn't do anything 'special' or out of the blue today. He was just himself. TJ is the best dad and husband anyone could ever ask for. He gets up with Kyson every morning, feeds him, and plays with him so I can sleep in. He spends time with us every night after work and really cares about how my day was, even if I was just at home doing nothing. TJ is so sensitive and caring. He gets me cards for no reason, does the dishes, folds the laundry. He takes care of his body so he can stay attractive for me(Sorry for the half naked picture, I just wanted you to see what I meant :). He eats healthy so he can live a long, full life and spend it with his family. He genuinely cares for people and can make friends with anyone anywhere. He can make me laugh like no one else can. He appreciates me and believes in me even when I don't believe in myself. I really feel like I am the luckiest girl in the world. I have everything I could ever want - an amazing husband, a beautiful son, loving family, great friends, and a sense of who I am. My life is so full.

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

So here is our tree. It's awesome, I know. Notice how there are no decorations on the 1st foot of the tree. I tried people, but Kyson kept ripping them off and breaking them on our tile. Not cool. I added some "pizazz" like silver twigs and blue sparkles so liven things up a bit. Also, every year I have to have matching wrapping paper and ribbons. (Duh, like that's not a given.) I guess I'm just a little prideful of my tree and that's why I'm doing an entire post dedicated to it... Sue me. (Oh and ps, don't mind the random picture of TJ and Kyson. I just wanted to throw that in there.)
