Sip and See Sunday

This past Sunday, my wonderful Bible Fellowship Class threw me a delightful Sip and See to show off Mr. Ryan to our class and family friends!

 

Here is Ryan, the precious guest of honor, perched up on his pedestal.  He stayed awake and happy for 90% of the shower – VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!

 

My dear friend, Amy prepared all of the delectable eats and treats for the party! She is truly amazing!!

Transformation to a Tiger

Monday we went to the Arboretum with Grannie Annie.  We checked out the Fairy Tale exhibit of houses, pet the animals at the petting zoo, walked around and admired the gorgeous tulips in full bloom, but nothing was as exciting as Will becoming a TIGER!!

Here he is eating our picnic lunch before the transformation.

 

This is how it all begins!

Again, Ryan was a sleeping prince.  He loves the outdoor sunshine and fresh air – soaking it in with pleasant dreams!

 

Thank you Grannie Annie for two fabulous adventures!!

Will really DIGS DINOSAURS

 

This weekend Grannie Annie took the boys and me to the Dinosaur Exhibit at the Science and Nature Museum.  Will had such a blast!! His favorite was T-Rex as we walked in the door, but every dinosaur caught his eye!

 

He keeps talking about “the big one in the mountain”….here it is:

 

Who has time to pose for pictures….not Will – there is way to much to see to be bothered with posing for pictures with Mommy or anyone or thing, for that matter.

  

Going on a Dinosaur Dig was super fun!!  

He enjoyed controlling the dinosaurs with the fun buttons!! His favorite part was making them ROAR and then he would answer in return! 

Below the dinosaur exhibit was the kid’s zone where we had been a year and half ago or so, but it was still a huge hit!! Our theatrical child, had to dress up in every costume.  I’ll have to admit, this part of the museum was much more fun this time around. He enjoyed it so much more because he was old enough to do almost everything all by himself.  

A few more costumes! 

Ryan came along too and was PERFECT! He slept the entire time – allowing Big Brother to have some much needed playtime and exploration.

Spring Breaking into St Patrick's Day

Happy St. Patti's Day from my 2 Lucky Charmers!

We spent the day at the park with Colleen, Ty and Tatum.  The boys had such a fun time - we tried out a new park today and it was a blast!! 

After the park, we took advantage of the georgous 80 degree weather and took our new double stroller out for its first test run! I think it was a success - both boys were OUT before we made it home.

Happy 4 weeks little man! He is sporting his sleepy stare - I caught him moments before we went to sleep.

Lucky Charm

Our Sweet friends at Petite Photography entered Ryan's newborn picture for the cover of her new marketing campaign.  We are voting on facebook to have his picture choosen.  Please vote by clicking on his picture and then "LIKE"ing the picture through the Peteite Photography link above.  Winner or Not, he is my precious lucky charm!!

3 Weeks

Time has come and gone so quickly! Here is Ryan at 3 weeks old.  He is holding his head up with more strength each day and making the most fun sounds! He is not quiet about anything he does, from eating, playing to sleeping!! We are loving learning his sounds, his faces and his wonderfully sweet personality! We are so blessed!!

2 Weeks

Wow~Has it already been 2 weeks since our sweet Ryan was born?

Here are a few pictures from his 2 week birthday!

So precious!!

Big Brother and Little brother!! I could not get a shot where either of them were looking at the camera. 

This was the best I could do!!
