Just because you are not blood, it does not mean you are not family!!!

What an amazing last two days we have had. Rex and I started to plan out what we are going to do to our yard. Many people have helped us with different creative ideas on how best use the space. Last night we went out to dinner with the Rutkosky, Rutkosky and Roggenkamp families. We went to a local Mexican restaurant. Eric and Ryan sat at each end of the table. They both are clearly the kings. At one point they were kind of talking back and forth, just for a bit. It was a wonderful evening filled with laughter and good times. I love making lasting memories. At dinner we were already planning Saturday morning breakfast with Big Ryan and Kelly. They were here at the house about 9:30 and Rexer made his famous pancakes. The boys then went to work on the yard. The job turned into a little more work than they first expected so they went and got the backhoe from the Rutkosky house. Ryan then drove it 3.5 miles back to our house going less than 7 mph, what a sight to see. It took about 30 minutes. Good thing Uncle Ryan is a patient man!!!! The boys worked and worked all day. So needless to say we ate every meal together. The Roggenkamps also came over, so all the big boys were outside playing on tractors and with chainsaws. It is so much fun to have our home filled with people that we love and that love us. Just because we are not blood, Rex and I really feel that they all are our family for better or worse. We are so thankful that we have all of them. The Rutkoskys, Rutkoskys and Roggenkamps are all a huge part of our daily lives. I feel so Blessed that Ryan has so many amazing people that love him. Here are some fun pictures from our day!!!

When did my little boy become not so little???? Here are some fun pictures from the last couple of days! The sun has been out so we have enjoyed being outside. It is so nice to have a home with a back yard and a nice place for the kiddos to play. We played in the front yard and driveway for hours when Elisha was over. Ryan just crawled around chasing Elisha. Rex was busy planning all of our summer projects. We are going to redo the fence, plant several privacy trees in the back yard and put in new grass. So look out everyone we are definitely calling in favors this summer. We will be putting in over 220 feet of new fence. It will be more room for the dog, and I am excited for Ryan to run around. Speaking of that, he is becoming more and more adventurous. He is standing more by himself and more interested in taking little steps. I am sure by his birthday he will be walking. Just to let everyone know I am planning Ry's birthday on March 28. I will send out inventions. I already have all the party supplies. Of course it is firefighter theme. I could not resist.

Today was a fun day full of family and laughter, I love these kinds of days. We spent the afternoon at Brian's house. We finally got to celebrate his birthday. Julie and I made dinner. Mom and Dad are at the ocean so it was just us kids and the little kids. We had a wonderful dinner. Rex and I came home with another kiddo. Elisha is on break from school so she came to spend the night. We love having her, Ryan loves it as well. He adores her, he follows her everywhere. It is toooooo cute. The kiddos are playing in the playroom with Rexer, so I am blogging about it. I tried to get some cute pictures, but that is pretty impossible with to over tired kids. They just want to play. The first thing that Elisha did was orgnize all of the toys, she would put them one place and Rayn would move them. Elisha has quite the imagination, I love listening to her play. Right now Rexer is the mayor of a town and Elisha is the shoe maker. Ry is right in the middle chiming in every so often. Elisha is making shoes out of blocks and Rex has some kind of English-Elvis accent. Our home is filled with children laughing, I love it.
