Welcom to Houston

Today I got up at 3:30 AM to shower finish packing(the last minute stuff) and get Bridger in the car, prayers, and goodbye's done and driving by 4:00 AM. OK, if you know me we rely didn't get out until 4:20. I am so glad my Mother in law Doyleen came With us. She was Great help company and I don't think Bridger would have had it any other way. We made great time and to our first appointment the Cat Scan witch Bridger was so brave. When they gave him his poke he didn't cry and he held out his arm and said "if you use this arm it will make the blood go threw the tubes faster". The nurse said you have to be older than five your so brave. He said "I am the Bravest boy in the whole world". He loved the actual Cat Scan when it was done and he got off the table he said "I love Cat scans". Then we sat in the BMT Unit for five hours. Every thing is a go for tomorrow at this point. when we got to our hotel room we had some fun goofing around to unwind.

this is the first time Bridger has even seen a swimming pool this summer so we had to let our toes in.

This adorable magic wand and cape was a present the night before we left and he loves it! He likes to make things disappear.

So glad you made it an all went well with the CT scan. It's hard to believe you are there and we just saw you last night! I'm glad Bridger likes his cape...

I do believe I recognize that hotel chair and carpet. You are in a Residence Inn aren't you? The sight of that brought me back to the 7 weeks we were trapped in one when we first moved here. Good luck you guys!...hopefully Bridger will soon be able to find other fun things besides CAT scans to do with his time:)

That is the cutest cape I have ever seen! Where in the world did you get that/how did you make that?? Awesome.

Also, I noticed that someone with the last name Fowers commented on this blog...I have a friend in my ward with that maiden name...it can't be too, too common. Do you know where they're from?

From the mouth of Bridger

While taking down an air mattress Bridger was playing like it was his sinking ship and that I was his rescuer. Once we were safely onto our individual rescue rafts (aka pillows) I said, while making a paddling motion “Hurry and paddle, paddle fast”. Bridger slowly turned his head toward mine and said in a dua mom tone of voice “I have a motor” then decided to add “and if that doesn’t work I have a two headed paddle so I can still go fast”.
-------------------------------------
I was in the kitchen and Bridger was sitting over the arm of the couch when he dropped something he was playing with. He began to ask me to come pick it up for him. “Pleas mom will you come pick this up for me”. I was half ignoring him thinking he can get down and get it. He was persistent “Mom pleas will you help me mom pleas…Jesus is going to put you on his naughty list if you don’t help me” I just thought at least he knows whose list is important.
--------------------------------
Trying to convince me to let him play video games he said “mom I really insist”
--------------------------------
Bridger’s Grandma got her hair cut short a little shorter than she wanted. Bridger kept looking at it and so Grandma asked “Did you see grandma cut her hair” Bridger “Does Grandpa like?” Grandma “yes” Bridger “Do you like it?” Grandma “Not really” Bridger “I think you look adorable!”
------------------------------
After Going to the bathroom Bridger was holding the toilet paper and said “When I just see this toilet paper I think of God…a pause… It reminds me of Heavenly Father and Jesus”. I said “Well it is the White Cloud brand. Trying not to lol I asked what about the toilet paper makes you think of them? Bridger “I just do”. Mom “Is it the color, or maybe the pattern”? Bridger “The color”.
-------------------------------
While sitting down to a small dinner including chips homemade avocado dip that Bridger helped make, a casserole and some fresh veggies. Bridger shouts out as soon as the prayer ended “WHAT A FEAST!”
---------------------------------
While watching the first part of Wizard of Oz, specifically the part when Dorothy first walks out of her house into Oz, Bridger turned and asked “Is heaven beautiful”? I said “yes it is” He said “More beautiful than this?” referring to oz with its 1939 plastic flowers and back drops. I said “yes much more” still in aw, he said “this is beautiful enough”.
------------------------------
Swatting at fruit flies with no success he stopped and proclaimed “They think I’m I a fruit!”
---------------------------
Bridger bent his big toe nail back trying to move a basket. He was in a lot of pain. I said “come here and let me see” he said “It’s as red as a burnt pancake”.
---------------------------
Waiting for the Dr. Bridger let me play his DS Game. I actually completed a short level. Bridger in an optimistic voice said “Good job Mom…I’m impressed”!
------------------------------
I asked Bridger if he thought it would be fun if his Dad brought his bike down this weekend so they could ride bikes together. Bridger hesitated and said “What if he can’t keep up with me”
----------------------------
One night I told Bridger a bed time story about how Blake and I met. I mentioned that we flirted long before we started dating even though dad would never admit to it. Then later in the story I mentioned we flirted while we dated. I went on to tell him about us getting married and a year and 3 months later we had a wonderful baby boy. At the end of the story he said “You and Dad sure flirted a lot”.
-----------------------------
Bridger wanted to play with his Nerf gun so I suggested some targets for him to shoot at. His reply was. “You could just be my target”
---------------------------
As a nurse was leaving his room he turned and said, “Ta Ta”. Then he said, “Mom that’s Spanish for good bye.”
