On Saturday, we got to go to a
crawfish boil in our friends' neighborhood, Jana, Clint, Madison and Carson. Daddy grew up with Jana in Beaumont. They know mama is a
connoisseur of crawdads, and boy did they light her up!
I showed off my walking skills for everyone.
Is this where the crawfish are?
While I was there, I got to meet Conner. Conner's mama Courtney was roomates with Luke's mama Allison, who my mama was friends with in law school (got that?). Last time I was in the neighborhood, Conner was still in his mama's belly.
I tried to explain the ways of the world to Conner, starting with how cool taggies are, like the ones on his stroller.
I got my first official bo-bo on my noggin too. I was showing off walking when I saw this awesome ball. I went down to pick it up, couldn't support my weight with my arms, and took a forehead dive into the concrete. Mama wasn't sure what to do, she felt so bad that I got hurt, but there were lots of other moms there to show her how to clean it with peroxide and put neosporin on. Thanks to those nice ladies. They also told mama that this is my first of many wounds - get used to it! I am a boy after all.
On Saturday, we got all dressed up in our finery to go to the neighborhood pool. Mama put me in this space suit because it has SPF in it and she didn't want me to get sunburned. I was a little unsure about it at first...but...
...once I had my green sunglasses on, I decided it wasn't so bad....
Hey there, baby. What 'chew doin' later?
I love, love, love the pool. (Mama says please disregard the horrible post MS150 tan lines)
I like to try to catch the water.
Even Grandma and Grandpa got in on the action.
We all went to brunch on Sunday. I ate like a champ: waffles, honeydew, cantalope, and turkey dogs that mama snuck in. 
Daddy is Brenden's Godfather.
Here is Brenden getting blessed.
Mama, Allison and Matt Byman, and Uncle Chris rode in the MS150 this weekend. This picture was taken at the end of day one. Mama was whopped. So...
Uncle Justy had to come by to hang out with me. He's young and spry, so it took him half the time to finish day one. 
The grandmas enjoyed hanging out together. They are both wearing pink shirts and both drinking beer (even though they tried to hide them in the picture). Luke and I have the coolest Grandmas ever. Also note Luke's Lance Armstrong Discovery team jersey - we bought it for Luke when he was born, and it fits him like a charm. It has his name and birthdate embroidered on the back. You can check it out on the Byman's website by clicking the link to the right up top. 
Here's Uncle Chris after finishing day two. He rocked. We are so proud of him for finishing, especially without his buddy, daddy. Mama wasn't nearly the team spirit as daddy. 
Pawpaw just chillin' in Austin. He couldn't believe all those people!
I picked out a beer for mama after she finished riding on day two. The ice was neat. 
I thought my mama was cool because she let me pick out her beer, but Luke's daddy let him HOLD his beer. Now that's super fly.
I gave daddy a pep talk before he began his testing.
Daddy worked very hard at his testing, and we are all very proud of him. During his third of four sparring sessions, he kicked some guy in the back of his head, but, it was too high and daddy ended up pulling his hamstring, bad (the bruise is NASTY). Daddy made a valiant effort to continue fighting, and even broke all his boards at four board breaking stations (the picture above is one station). Even though daddy was hurt, he fought very hard, and some (like mama) would say he was better than the guys that weren't hurt. It's going to be a slow road to recovery, but we know daddy will do it. Below is a video of sparring session one. Daddy's the one in the red helmet.
