Happy Happy 1st birthday Ryan!

May 20, 2010

Today is Ryan's 1st birthday! Wow little guy I can't honestly believe that an entire year has passed. You have grown so fast and into such a handsome little boy! With so much enthusiasm, love, chubby cheeks, and a laugh that makes one melt. You are so loving and happy and a VERY busy and curious little boy that we all love so much. Below are some pictures of you on your special day!

Ryan on his first birthday!

Look at those beautiful big blue eyes!

Here is Ryan on the day that he was born. Wasn't he a beautiful baby. Wow how time has flown. We can't imagine our lives without you! Thanks for all the great memories little buddy! We love you.

Ryan's presents!

Opening some of his gifts. He got this from Rob's parents and some clothes he loved it!

See he loves it!

I made his favorite dinner. Spaghetti! Yum but what a mess!
He loves all pasta!

Ryan's bear cake!

Ryan with his cake he is really upset here he wanted to grab the cake so bad!

Yum cake and ice-cream for the first time! Wow I was missing out!

It's fun to be one! (love the bib)!

Mom and her little guy! Happy birthday buddy!

Ryan with all his presents!

Ryan is sure traveling these days, he will stand up without holding on to anything then he sits down. But he loves to "travel" the furniture as I like to call it. He walks all around the room holding onto everything. I expect him to be walking very soon!

My Handsome boy!

Here are some fun random pictures of the kids that I liked.

Justin making things with his trail mix.

Katie looking super cute!

Rob and kids playing in the water with umbrellas.

Katie and Megan in their cute new skirts from grandma! They hardly have taken these off since they got them. They twirl so fun and cute in them.

Making Jam

Megan and Katie helping me make strawberry jam.

Pitting strawberries!

Yum! We only made 7 jars but it was fun!

Soccer Time!

May 2010

Justin and Katie are back in soccer again! They are having so much fun too! It's a little crazy when soccer time comes around but they sure do love it!

Justin and Katie being silly!

Justin, Kelsie, Brooklynn, and Katie

Ryan cheering on his siblings!

Katie and Brooklynn! Rob is their coach and is really enjoying it!

Justin playing goalie. He loves this position! He is awesome at it too. This past soccer game he blocked probably 28 goals. He plays so hard and is not afraid to grab the ball and get down and dirty. Katie is doing better also and loves chasing the ball down. Fun times!

Silly Ryan!

So this silly boy really loves to clean the toilets. We actually find him in the toilet all the time playing in the water. Getting his older siblings to keep the door shut is somehow impossible!

This was Justin's job somehow Ryan took over!

Ryan is learning to walk. He will pull himself up to the furniture and walk all over! He is so cute here I love his face!

Hi cute boy!

Cheese!

Love the blue eyes. Cute kid right out of the bath!




Just look at the squishy cheeks!

Happy Birthday Rob, Katie, and Ryan!

Happy birthday! Katie got a new headband (my camera deleted the picture), and her pillow for her bed. Ryan got some new touch and feel toys and stacking cups.

Scout-A-Rama!

May 1, 2010

Today we took the kids to the scout-a-rama! They loved it! We decided it might be a fun thing to do since Justin will be turning 8 this year and going into scouts, we were right he had a great time and so did his sisters!

Katie whacking a scout!

Words you never want to hear from your 3 yr old....

May 13, 2010

Today I heard the words one never wants to hear...mommy look Katie cut my hair. Yes Megan was lucky enough to get 2 haircuts today. Her first from her sister Katie, and another from her sweet aunt Stacy, (whom I am so thankful too you did a great job). I was so grateful Katie just cut it shorter and that she didn't cut up close to her head and scalp so it was manageable. I had to keep telling myself she's only 5 and it will grow back, one day I'll look back and laugh, etc. And honestly she does look adorable, and a little older too. I love ya Megan!

The bunch of hair in Katie's room I think she easily cut 8 inches off!

From the back it wasn't so great!

not too bad in front though!

Another picture of the back before Stacy cut it!

Getting her haircut!

The back when all done!

After Stacy fixed it! Much better!

Silly Girl!
