::happy birthday::

10 years

we love you!!

6 years

we celebrated six years of wedded bliss on saturday

{october 9, 2010}

we took the boys to lowes to build scary mirrors for halloween.

(we don't miss a week)

we went to the movie secretariat(without the boys).

which i absolutely LOVED.

and i can't wait to someday go to the kentucky derby.

and then we went shopping.

it was uneventful and wonderful.

love you ty.

{october 7, 2010}

ryder slept for two hours and decided that playing with dad and the farm was a lot more fun than sleeping the night away. 

i kept thinking that he was tired and tried to put 

him back in bed about every 30 minutes.  

but he was not having it.

and he was up until 1:30 in the morning when he finally fell asleep on me.

(which of course i loved)

 and he does the most adorable pig sound now.

skeleton jams

nothing says halloween is coming like

skeletons!

and i am so glad these two get along most of the time.

finally

{september 30, 2010}

he drinks from a straw.

piano

ryder loves to climb up and play the piano.

it makes me very nervous because he has fallen off a couple of times.

i try to get over to him as soon as i hear him.

maybe i have a little mozart on my hands?

but i haven't been able to make out any songs yet :).

the wally hat

ryan has been obsessed with wally the green monster since i made tylers birthday cake.

grandma o. was so excited to find this hat for him.

grandpa and grandma o. went on a little vacation to maine.

we were very excited to get a giant package from them in the mail.

ryan couldn't have been happier with the wally hat.

and he loves having the "hubba hubba" tent.

and i can't wait until tyler actually takes him camping in it. :)

thanks for all the fun goodies and for thinking of us on your vacation!

"oh my hail"

yep, that's a pile of hail.

it rained off and on all day yesterday.

but last night it hailed.

it was so loud pounding on the windows.

i wouldn't have been surprised if one broke,

but luckily they didn't.

and even more lucky that both boys slept through it!

fun times

we played at the indoor mall the other day.

it's so nice to be able to play at a "park"

when it's still SO hot outside.

it's been over 100 degrees everyday this week.

we are hoping that it cools down soon!

***

ryan has started pulling funny faces 

just about every time i pull my camera out.

(this is a classic ryder face)

ryder got high centered!

ryan loves elephants right now

they are his favorite.

ryder loved the carousel for about 20 seconds.

then he cried the rest of the time.
