Sound asleep

I had to post this picture of Ryan sleeping. How sweet?!

Christmas 2009

Christmas morning was a blast this year. Connor woke up and came downstairs where I was feeding Ryan and he said "no more wake ups?" and I told him no. He then began yelling at the top of his lungs, "Dad...it's Chrismas morning!" It was awesome. Ryan was obviously more into th wrapping paper than the present! Connor's face when he saw his bike was PRICELESS. It's so much fun to have kids around on Christmas!

Cookies at Noni's

Every year we take the kids to my mom and dad's so they can make cookies that look nothing like stockings and snowmen that are burnt and covered in anything they can shake out of a shaker! This year they turned out pretty good, but we did have one problem. My fantastic husband left them on the hood of our car and didn't realize it until we were almost home! And yes, my kid is the one without the shirt on. He's going through this phase and will not remain fully clothed despite the freezing temperatures.

Five months without a post!

Wow! I just visited the blog and realized it's been quite a while since updating. Instead of trying to catch up on what we have been up to, I'll just make a resolution this year to be better at keeping current! I have been suprised at the amount of people who have visited the blog. Thanks for visiting and Happy New Year!

Connor's Singing Debut

You may have to turn your speakers off for this. Connor has started to take an interest in singing, but he just screams. My family says he may have a lead singer role in a Pantera like band someday. He definitely gets my tone deafness! I love his expressions too!

Pictures

We took Connor and Ryan to have their pictures taken together at JCpenneys this week in their adorable coordinating outfits. I swear there is a reason I don't have girls! They role reversed and suprised us when Connor who is usually my shy one kept asking if the photographer was "ready yet." I felt like we were in the car driving to Florida listening to him say are we there yet? On the other hand, my smily Ryan was not very smily that day due to some digestive issues :( The pictures turned out adorable, or at least this mom thinks so.

New Tshirts!

NKOTB

Flashback twenty years ago to me at the NKOTB concert with my mom having the best day of my life! Flashforward to me at the NKOTB concert with friends still in love with this group! We took a bus down to Riverbend for the concert and had an amazing time. I guess we were having too much fun to notice that we no longer needed sunglasses because it was dark out. I will admit that I was jealous to hear my friends that COULD hang until 3am were able to hang with Danny and Donny at Lodge Bar. Maybe in twenty more years we can go back and at least get a Golden Buckeye discount.

Ryan is going to hate me!

So I couldn't have timed this better if I tried. Ryan was smiling so I turned my camera on and then I realized that he was smiling because of what he was about to do. Impeccable timing!

Hanging with the cousins
