What a day

So all you moms out there will understand this blog. Ryan and I woke up this morning at about 7:30. I rolled out of bed completely exhausted from lack of sleep. Like so tired I put Ry in the car and drove to Starbucks while we both were in pajamas. Ry does not sleep well on a good night, let alone while he is sick. Seriously when he is sick he is up every hour. It would not be so bad, but Rex is on the last day of his shift so most of the time Ry has been sick I have been alone. This morning Ry woke up he in a mood. I could just tell it was going to be one of those days. As I type this he is trying to climb the baby gate I have on the door of the play room so he can escape. I have us barricaded in here so I can have a moment of sanity. Today Ryan has fallen down too many times to count. All morning Ry was busy and into everything. He has learned how to open doors so he can get into every room in the house now. Now understand Ry is never alone more than a minute, I pee with the door open-seriously. He most of the time is in my sights. He is just getting so quick. This afternoon he fell down the stairs outside. We were playing outside after lunch. I was still eating my sandwich, I went to take a bite and by the time I looked up he was falling down the stairs. There are about 6 steps he made it about half way down. He has a little bump on his head, a scratch on his chin and one one finger. I think it scared me more than it scared him. After a little cry he was up and running again. Next while inside, I was in the kitchen and Ry decided to climb the inside stairs. By the time I was done cracking 4 eggs he was at the top and on his way back down. In the highchair he went. He helped me make two pumpkin pies for Daddy. No injuries there. We had a snack and started to clean the house. He slammed the door on his finger, opened a door and the corner of the door hit his head-another bruise. Finally time for dinner, while I was making our dinner he decide he wanted to climb onto the chair. I say him do this so I decided to just watch him to see what he would do. Sure enough after he had conquered the chair he went straight for the table. Within seconds he was on top of the table. Within a few more seconds he was standing and walking on the table. By this time I was right next to him and grabbed him off the table. It is just so crazy how active he is. It is so fun to watch him learn and discover new things. He is definitely his Daddy's little boy. Rex always says Go big or go home''. I am sure That I will be hearing this from Ry soon.

What is Ryan wearing in these pictures you ask, well remember that whole tired thing. We both have been in our pj's all day. You can see in the picture of us how tired I look.

Northwest gardening

Northwest gardening, that means gardening in the rain. After being stuck inside most of the day we decided to get bundled up and go out and play in the rain. I planted my garden, Rex and Ry played. Ryan is starting to feel better, he has had a fever and rash the last couple of days. It was really nice to be outside. We went for a walk and we were able to do most of the planting before the real rain hit us. I mean the massive down pour. Earlier in the day we transformed our formal living room into a sports arena. Ry was playing soccer, baseball and wrestling with daddy. He really liked baseball. He would hit the ball, then run after it and put it back on the stand and hit the ball again. He did that several times and thought he was funny each time. He also thought it was fun to climb up and down on the rocking chair. Once up he would sit back and rock- tooooo cute.

Mac and hot dogs

Today for Ryan's second lunch Rex decided to make macaroni and hot dogs. This meal seriously makes me want to puke. For some reason Rex loves it which is totally funny considering what a health nut he is. Rex has been saying for awhile that he wants this meal. I finally broke down and bought it. The macaroni is whole wheat so that makes me feel a little better, but seriously it is disgusting. The funniest thing is that Ryan loved it. He ate all that was on his plate and he wanted more. Just my luck he loves mac and hot dogs. We all had a good laugh over here. Rex was like a little kid when he ate it, he was so excited.

Cowboy Ryan

On Sunday we went up to Gig Harbor to go to church with the Gonzales family. After church they had a little BBQ. No BBQ is complete unless there are ponies there. Well sure enough there were ponies. Ryan at 14 months old got to ride a pony. It was cute, he seemed to really enjoy himself. How could he not it was a pony everyone loves ponies.
