Ol' Chuy dog

Tonight the 27th, 4 days after Chuy passed Mr. B still thinks about "ol' Chuy-dog". So does his Daddy, aka author; for years to come.  He picked out his stuffed animals to sleep with tonight and of course Amicus and the new Chuy which he won at the Great Wolf Lodge arcade via 1,000 tickets were in the top 4. Bryson started eyeing his goal in the arcade the night before. His name was "puppy" per Bryson.  Elated again and again we went up to the room with this new "puppy". However,  within 24 hours, Bryson, after the bad news and before bedtime, had decided "puppy" will have a name.

It made me realize again what I always thought of Chuy.  A puppy.  He was always sweet and onery.

Sorry to drift away from the intent of this blog but Bryson, as he laid down tonight, said "I'm worried about my dog".  He broke down again in tears.  His mind has definitely been occupied by the loss.

The real purpose of this blog is that Bryson cared so much about Chuy.  He also experienced others like his cousin Evin, neighbors David and Ian love Chuy.  For a 6 yr old today that doesn't care to talk about the daily routine of life, he definitely cared for our version of Marley. 

There were jealous moments where Addison got a Chuy kiss and he didn't and the great moments which Bryson worked hard enough to get one that brought a giant  smile.  He loved so much to give Chuy a treat or to feed him.

There will never be another Chuy but I know I have a big dog lover I am raising and some day he and I will be ready for a new dog. I certainly will not be picking out the next dog without Bryson.  Great minds think alike!

Try out for new Nike comercial

Someone is stoked about his new Halloween costume. Last year was Mario's brother, Luigi. This year he is simply Toad.

Maybe Nike advertising gurus pick this pic up and we get a call. Can anyone refer an agent to us?

Lactose tolerant

Two years in a row ... opportunity of lifetime ... to milk the fake cow at the Texas State Fair.  I will never forget the meltdown Addison had last year on the way out bc she didn't get to milk the cow a second time.  Turned around near the gate. Daddy is soft.

This is for the shit talking coaches during our championship game!

We won. Enough said. 

Stealing bases

We attended the UT vs UT girls softball world series semi finals yesterday.  I pointed out to Bryson... Did you see that girl steal second base? He replied "but daddy, why is it still there?"

Now how does he know the literal meaning meaning of stealing at 5 years old!?

Brysons career plans

Cici's pizza worker endeavor. Because it would be fun and they don't put sauce on their pizza. 

Addison's career plans at the age of 5

Hair salon owner. Wants to make people beautiful. A five year old talking about business ownership. Interesting.

Our first teeball tourney

Your daddy is proud of you two! You worked! Congratulations on finishing 2nd place out of 7 teams. 
Three games in one day = two very happy and tired kiddos.  Big daddy and Nana rewarded us with good ol' Braums ice cream in a sugar cone. It doesn't get any better than that! (Tournament April 28 Midwest City, OK)

Chuy's in Norman

We will always have a place to remind us of our beloved dog along with Texas things.  His best pic is in the bar and is one of the first pics at this location. 

Bring on the cold

We are prepared...  for a cold game of teeball tomorrow night. 

Double sleep over night

Big day with our friends Wyatt and Clara.  Big night too with the timely movie,  EB.  We took mall pics with his big fluffy sister today. OKC finally became politically correct with a female bunny. 

Can you dig it ???

Neighborhood construction in progress.  This suggestion ranks in the top ten in terms of response times while playing with Wii or watching TV. 

Look Dad

I walked into the living room and found someone relaxing this  morning watching it snow.
