Ry's third haircut

Today Audrey, Erik, Ryan and I went to the mall to get Ryan's hair cut. He looks like such a big boy. He did pretty good while getting his hair cut. I think it was because the lady gave him a sucker, yes a sucker. Before I had time to really react he was eating it. It was pretty funny. How is it that kids know what to do with things like that, Ry has never had a sucker. Audrey got some pictures on her phone that are cute. He sat in the fire engine seat again. When she was finished she put massive amounts of gel in his hair. He looks so different, what a little man. In the last picture he decide he wanted to walk up the stairs by himself. Check out his new kicks!!!! I am not sure who he looks like, besides his cousin Loring. I am excited to head outside to plant my plants, pray that Ry takes a good nap.

Best Buds

Today Rex, Ry and I went up to the Roggenkamp's house to spend some time with Audrey and Erik. It was a visit long over due. Usually we all see each other much more, but well life has just seemed to take over in the past week or so. It is so fun to watch the boys interact. Sometimes they do not even notice one another and other times the only interactions are when they are taking the other one's toy. Today seemed to be that day. I will say Ryan was cracking me up. He has the same pair of sun glasses that Erik has but Ry will not wear his. Ry wore Erik's today all around the house. Also Ry was eating food off Erik's highchair, he would not eat anything I gave him. I guess he just loves Erik so much that he wants to be like him. :) Today about the only time we had both of them happy and quite was in the wagon. Notice Ryan's spoon, out of all the toys both boys loved to play with the spoons. This is about the best picture I could get. Honestly I think it took all of us just to get this one. It so awesome to me that one day the boys will look back at this picture and will not believe that they both fit in the same wagon. Crazy.

My new favorite thing

Ever day Ryan does something new or discovers something. A couple of days ago we were in the car and he was getting a bit fussy, so Rex turned up the music and started to sing and dance. Ryan laughed, so than I started to sing. Before we all knew it we all were singing, well Ry was yelling and laughing. It was pretty funny, we used shoes as microphone and continued to sing and lip sing the entire car ride. Yesterday I was driving and Ry started to get fussy so I turned up the radio and started to sing. It worked, he started to laugh again. I was quite dramatic in my singing and facial expression. Ry was laughing really hard. Then I got the feeling someone was looking at me. We were at a red light and Ry and I were singing. I looked over and there was a big truck, with an older man he was laughing at us singing. I looked up and smiled and he continued to laugh. So I might not have the best voice in the world, but at least I can make people laugh. Ryan also has he head nod down. When Rex and Ry are in the truck they bop their heads to the beep of the music. Most of the time when Ry hears music he will bounce his head. I love it. He seems to be so proud of himself when he does it.
The other new thing that Ry is doing is running, he gets really excited and tries to run. Well his little legs can not move as fast as he wants them too, he usually falls. Also he loves when Bunker our dog chases him. It is pretty cute to watch their interactions.

Rex is out working in the yard like a mad man, which I am so thankful for. He is so creative and has done an amazing job. I cannot wait to post before and after pictures. Ry and I have been inside baking cookies and playing for most of the day. My mom, Ryan and I went to Home Depot to get plants for the yard. I am so excited to plant them. I got some great pictures of Ry tonight. He has been really funny lately, he thinks everything he does is funny so he laughs at himself constantly. He is always talking to something or someone. Tonight I chased him around the house before bath time and got theses pictures. While I was finishing up the blog I looked down and Ryan had sat in this green container. Of course he had to have a cup of tea while in the container!

Happy Mother's Day

Today was an amazing day. I woke up this morning to my little guy giving me a homemade card that him and his Daddy made. I love homemade cards, they are the best. After some wonderful kisses and loves from my boys I got to head to Target, by myself (every mothers dream, no seriously). After I got home we headed to Seattle to the FC Sounders Soccer game. Ryan, Elisha and Johanna spent the day with their Nana (Leroy's Mom). Mom, Dad, Julie, Leroy, Bri, Amber, Rex and I all headed up North. It was a beautiful day in Seattle. We parked at Metro where our chariot awaited us to take us to the game (a Metro Bus). We had our own private bus driven by Pappy or Patrick or Pat. You never know their real names my dad is the nick name king. We had amazing seats and well no kids so the drinks were flowing, and flowing and flowing. Then came the hot dogs and garlic fries. Rex bought a blow horn, big mistake. Well not really it was totally entertaining. After the game we headed down to the water front for more drinks and appetizers. It was so great to relax and enjoy my family. It is great to get a break, but it is the best to come home to little hands around your neck and slobbery kisses. Here are some pictures from the game!!!!

Thank you so much Cindy for watching the children. You are an amazing Nana, we all love you very much!!!!!
