Ryan turns 3!!

I can't believe my little man turned 3 today. Where has all the time go. This lucky boy got to have 2 special parties. The night before we celebrated with granny at my parents house because granny couldn't make it to his party. It was so much fun. She gave him a gold cart!! He loves it. Now he fits right in with our neighborhood. :)

Ryan and granny blowing out the candles. So sweet!!

Ryan and Granny. Best friends for life. These two have a special bond that no else could ever have. I use to be grandma's girl but I think I have been replaced by Ryan :)

4 generations!! Wow that is amazing.

The cake I made for the birthday boy.

Ryan with his best friend Haley. They are the best of pals. We love you Haley girl.

My so so sweet nephew who could care less about decorating a hard hat but instead would rather climb on the table. Only you Rocco!

The birthday boy blowing out his candles. He was so excited to be able to do this.

The boys cooking together with Ryan's new bar-b-Que. Like father like Son!!!

Newport Beach 2010

Every year since I was little we take a family trip to Newport Beach. Although we missed a few years during highschool and college we are back to our tradition. It is so much fun. We always stay for a week and that week never seems like enough time. Here are a few pictures, ok a lot, of our week vacation.

Ryan and Mike getting ready for our nightly bike ride. Thanks to Ann for letting us borrow this seat. Best thing ever!!! I am going to buy one of these for sure.

Little Miss Maddie...all smilies in her cute dress grandma bought her.

I just love this picture of Ryan. We were at the wedge one evening watching the waves. I wish I had my better camera for this night though.

Little missy again at the beach. Don't worry she is under shade and only lasted a little while before we went back home.

Uncle Matt and Madison in there Giants outfits, ready for the game that night.

Mommy and Ryan on our whale watching trip. We saw 2 humpback whales, 1 fin whale and tons of dolphins that swam at the bow of the boat. It was amazing Ryan thought it was so cool. They were so close you could almost reach out and touch them.

Grandma and Ryan painting Shells.

The Gang watching the huge waves at the Wedge. Those people are crazy. Mind you this picture is taken before a big wave made us all get up and get wet...well ok just Aunt Cathy got wet since she was holding Ryan and couldnt' get up fast enough.

Mike and Ryan going out on the boat to go see the sea lions on one of the sail boats.

A little photo shoot of the queen at the beach. I love the black and white but then I can't see her beautiful blue eyes.

My favorite picture of Ryan. This pictures sums up how a 3 year old is.

Grandma and her kids.

The loves of my life!!!!

Mommy and her baby girl!!!

Love the jewels. Thanks Kristi for making this. I love it!

The gang on our last night. We always walk to this spot on our last night to take a picture!!!!

Ryan's First Art Project

Yesterday Ryan brought home his first art project from school. I thought that is was so cute!! He is so proud of it too!!

Blue Eyes!!

I just had to post this picture. I still can't believe that I have a blue eyed little girl.

1st Day of Preschool

I can't believe my little guy started preschool today. He was so excited to go. As soon as we got there he ran for his classroom and started playing. Of course every 2 minutes he wanted to know when he got to go outside to play. It is so weird not having him around in the morning.

All excited and ready to go.

All ready to go in to school with his one glove and sunglasses

3 Months Old

I can't believe my little girl is 3 months old now. She is such a good baby and so much fun. Ryan still loves to play and try and make her smile. She weights 12.2 pounds now too. She is hit or miss on sleeping through the night still. Hey anything is better than her brother now and when he was 3 months old.
He new trick...if I can't find the binki, give me my fingers. It is nice in the middle of the night!!

Sh is not crazy about tummy time but will do it for short amounts of time.

Still has though beautiful blue eyes that gets everyone's attention.

Still loves to be in the pool. She could float around for hours if we let her.

She is always all smiles for everyone. I just love this little girl so much!!!
