Merry Christmas

I feel like I never have enough time in the day to accomplish all that I want to do. That included making and sending Christmas Cards this year.  Today is my last day of work before a two week break and I am so excited to spend some more time with my family.  I hope that you are all enjoying the season with your families. May the spirit of the season last in our homes into the next year.  Love the Bridges. 

It is a.......

Happy Halloween Festivities

October seemed to fly by quickly.  It was full of Justins Birthday, Our friend Halloween Party and Halloween.  The party was so much fun. Thanks for everyone that came.  We had a great time eating, playing BINGO and the Doughnut game.  Everyones costumes were great.  Seth had a great time trick or treating. That kid can go forever when there is cousins to follow and candy involved. He is so independent these days and that included wanting to carve his own pumpkin.  Thankfully he let me do hand over hand. We also went up to ride the Heber Creeper were he wanted nothing to do with the fall activities. He just kept saying "all aboard"  hoping that would mean the train ride would start soon.  Life seems to be flying by so quickly I fill like I am just trying to jump on and hopefully remember some of what we do.  And if you read all the way to here. Yes my costume is an oven and yes that is an ultrasound taped to it.  I am currently 19 weeks.  Baby due March 30th.  We are excited for this next phase of our life.  Stay tuned for the gender announcement.

Seth was not very happy at this point he did great for the extended pictures but must have used his smile all up.  

Something New

We bought a new car!! A Subaru Outback.  Yes, I have joined the wagon driving, granola loving clan that is associated with this brand.  I love it. I have the bigger space for passengers and of course Ares.  I also get good gas mileage for my daily driving.  The decision came with much anxiety mostly from me, since I start hyperventelating at the thought of spending large amounts of money.  The Hyundai was just well loved and making too many funny noises to trust with my daily commute to and during work.  Getting new things is so much fun. 

Potty training

Picture a three day weekend trapped in a small room just you your son and a frog potty. This was the scene I created trying to follow a mix of a one day and three day method for potty training. The first day there was a lot of playing and not caring a bit about the toilet, asking for a diaper and questioning my sanity. The second day was another rough morning but we had a better afternoon and more motivation to push through. Sunday proved to be better but also a set back when he pooped all over grandmas floor before I could finish blinking. At this point I knew Justin was questioning my decision to try this but we had made enough progress I was convinced to stick with it. It has been almost a month now and while the first two weeks came with their fair share of accidents I am happy to say we are fully potty trained. He still has some two year old potty dance moments but typically he tells you he has to go and wants to do it completely independently. We must have done a lot of clapping early on because he also applauds himself when he goes. It has been really nice not changing diapers and it is just one more thing to make me realize how big Seth is. He is definitely not my baby anymore.
