Ryan's Third Birthday

We celebrated Ryan's Third birthday this past weekend at Splashway Waterpark in Sheridan Texas--it was a blast. I have very few pictures from the weekend so I am hoping that some other people ( aka Lynda/Nana) got some more. We had everyone make the hour to two hour drive out to play and it was well worth it I think for everyone.

We just had a giant cookie cake and it even melted because it was soooo HOT!

Ryan getting ready to blow out the candles!

Abby was there and a trooper at that. I carried her in the baby bjorn all day and she slept--she is a good baby so far!

Emma after eating her piece of the cake!! My little mess!!

Sweet Birthday boy!!

If you are ever looking for something to do this summer I totally recommend this waterpark!! Ryan had a great birthday and is already asking if we can do it out there again next year-- I told him we will see!!!

Bouncing with our Cousins

Chris and Carrie were in town visiting from DC so we loaded up the kids and went to Monkey Bizness for open bounce!! The kids and the daddy's had fun!!

Emma my wild little girl- at first she was nervous about bouncing but in the end she loved it!

Ryan trying to climb up the rope on the bounce course

Sweet Savannah giving it a try--she looks so serious!

Kathy's Graduation

My mother in law graduated college! We are so proud of Kathy!! After the graduation we had a small party at our home to celebrate!! These are some pictures from the event.

My three crazy kids--again hard to get a good picture but this will do!!

Kathy's delicious cake (that I was unsure if she was going to share!)!

Congrats Kathy!! What an accomplishment after forty years, we truly are proud of you!!

May

May was a busy month--we were really adjusting to being a family of five!! Ryan finished school (MDO), Dad had birthday, Mom was still on maternity leave, Life was good!!

Here are some pictures of it all--

Emma holding Abby--Ryan with really long hair!!

Ryan holding Abby! I was trying to get a picture of the three of them and this is one of the bests!! Its really hard to get a good one but some of the goofy ones are my favorite!

We got a new (used hand me down) play system. The kids helped dad clean it and put it back together. They love the new system--thanks Austin Badgers!

This is a little slice of heaven for me!! Abby fell asleep in my arms after eating and Emma was fussing while I was feeding Abby so I had her come sit in my lap and then the next thing I knew she fell asleep too!!

My two little girls--Emma and Abby!! One day I can only pray they will be the best of friends!

The rest of April

The rest of April flew by as Abby made the two week mark!! Here are some photos of that journey!

First professional photos done!! Our sweet friend Lauren Stockholm did them and we had way too many to chose from this is just one of the many that I love!!

Abby had her first bathe!! She didnt mind the tub! (Now at almost two months she bathes with her brother and sister--I need to take pictures of that!!)

Abby met her cousins-- This is Abby and the toothless Olivia

Now Abby with the very Serious Eli and sweet Anna waiting her turn

Then this is typical home--Abby trying to play quietly one her mat but Bubba and Emma want to play too. Ryan here is trying to get Abby to suck on his finger!!
