Mommy's birthday

Tonight we celebrated mine and cousin Scotts birthday. We are just a few days apart so we always get the family together to celebrate both birthdays. So much fun. Here is Ryan showng the family all his new tricks.

This rafts are so fun. They have 2 built in water guns.

Great Aunt Cathy and her sweet little niece.

The whole gang minus the birthday girl, since she is always the photographer!!

Ryan and Aunt Cathy getting the cake all ready.

Its not Ryans birthday, but we all know how much kids love candles and blowing them out!!

Swimming fun and Cute Dresses

Just having fun with the camera and having a little girl. I just couldn't resist not taking pictures of her in the cute dress. She was in such a good mood too.

Ryan is done with his first session of swim lessons. We went from hating them to loving them. We now dive a lot too.

Madison's First Pool Visit

On Sunday we took Madison in the pool for the first time. She LOVED it! I figured she would being that she loves her baths so much. S he just there and enjoyed every moment of it.

All wrapped up in Grandma's arms.

All ready to go. Wow a picture with mom in it.....I don't think we have one of those since the day she was born.

Of course there is big brother in the pool. Good luck getting this kid out of the pool. Ever since swim lessons , all he wants to do is be under water swimming. His new trick on Sunday was to get a piggy back ride from dad and they would go to the bottom of the pool and swim the length of it. Ryan thought it was great.

Aww life is great. After she got out my mom wrapped her up and held her. She looked so happy and content being outside and cool.

Really Mom I am not Tired

So today we got home from swim lessons and just like every other day when we get home, we go get our pull up on, get into bed, read a few books and then its nap time. Well today Ryan decieded he didn't need a nap. So I said ok, but you have to have quiet time. So he sat down on the carpet for a moment and the next thing I know he is lying down and sound to sleep. MMM, sometimes mommy know when you really do need a nap!

Pumpkin Update

Here's a little pumpkin update. The plant, thankfully, hasn't grown much. We have lost a few pumpkins, but have a few other ones growing quite well. The largest one we have now is about the size of a large mini watermelon.
