Ryan's Day

I absolutely love those blue eyes! I absolutely love Ryan just
the same as all of our boys. He is so independent and stubborn.
Mischevious and fun. Silly and loving. He is a joy!

He LOVES his chicken nuggets, there is no question about it!
The scariest sea monster on our block.
He loves to wear the superman cape all day.

During the day he "flies" around with his arms extended making a whooshing sound. It's super cute. Ryan loves to talk and everything he says starts with "My's". In fact if you call him by My's, he answers. Oh the threes are so much fun!

The Zoo Went To The Zoo! Part 1

We had a lot of fun last Thursday at the zoo. We got to see these animals and Alissa went with us so we had great company. Sam stuck with Alissa all day holding her hand. It was cute.



We are going back next Thursday and we are definitely going to get some cups of juice so that we can get more acquainted with the Lorakeets. They are very pretty and fun to watch.

Connor had a pretty tough day. He is walking all the time now without leaning or holding onto anything and has become quite used to his new-found independence. So he was a little grumpy about being stuck in the stroller and car seat all day. But he slept alot, and when he wasn't sleeping his was sucking his thumb and glaring at everyone. It was cute.



Part 2 of our trip to the zoo coming up........

Entertaining yes?.......No

Somehow the word has spread, and now I have people calling me just to hear me talk. No, it's not because I am so special, wise, or well liked. No, no, no. It's because I sound completely rediculous. Kind of like Minnie Mouse on the old black and white cartoons. (I have a sinus infection, ear infection and laryngitis) My aunt said talking to me was the best laugh she had had all day. Joyce and Catie called just for laughs. Grandma was nice about it, but I could hear Grandpa laughing away in the background. Mark kindly informed me that I sounded like crap......five or six times. I was just happy to provide so much entertainment to everyone, even the drive-thru teller at the bank, and the nurses at the doctor's office.
On the positive, I have learned that my kids can hear me and do listen even though I can barely hear myself. So why don't they listen when my voice is fine?........... ;>) A funny side note, the doctor said to rest my voice. How do you do that with four kids? Unlike the dog they don't come when I whistle and lay down when I snap my fingers. Maybe the old dog can teach them new tricks. Happy Friday!

Samuel's 5th Birthday

We celebrated Sam's 5th birthday last Saturday. We spent the day together just the six of us doing what he wanted for his special day. We played at a park, then the three older boys and David went swimming. Connor and I watched happily from the side. We had a very fun day together. On Sunday we did a cake with grandparents and aunts and uncles. I will have to post those pics later.
