Lunch with the gals

Little Josh was outnumbered at the lunch on Thursday! With chicks this cute, I doubted he minded much!

Ryan's class project

Mommy helped the class make their pots for the auction! Each child painted and decorated their own fish!

Uncle Scott's Birthday Dinner

We had a giant family feast made by Grandma! Grandma and Nana made fried chicken, mashed potatoes, and french silk pie!!! We all gave Uncle Scott an ipod and he was really excited! Here is a picture of Scott's girlfriend, Heather, who we all really like!

Can you tell I have had my camera on me lately? I can't help it!! Here is Ryan getting a short new do!

Nana is here!

We had a such a wonderful time seeing Nana! The kids were so excited! She and Josh just love each other!

Back to sick

After a wonderful weekend with Nana here, Josh's cold became a full blown problem. We went to the Dr today and the verdict was a double ear infection. Poor little munchkin. I think I am going to have to go back to being a total psycho about germs! :(

Video!!!

I got a new camera! I am so excited about it. It takes videos, so here goes our first try of sharing Josh's tricks with the world!

Rub a Dub

How can this chub be under 20 pounds?

This past week

We had so much fun this Valentine's week! On Tuesday we went to Melissa's house for a Valentine's playdate with Ian, Emma, Kaitlyn, Brandon, Grant, Sean and Alek. The kids had a great time and Melissa made a yummy meal for them!

Ryan loved his V day party at school and came home with lots of goodies! We met Julie, Josh and Erin for lunch and then we took the kids to the park. Later that night my parents came by to give Ryan and Josh their gifts! My Dad always picks out a special gift just for me as well! They were delighted the whole day and crashed right out!

More Valentines

With a week full of great Valentine's Day fun, we started off Monday with a wonderful playdate with Jurga and her gorgeous daughters, Ruta and Silvia. Ryan amd Ruta have played together since they were six months old. It is amazing to see the children they have become and how dear they are to one another even now. Jurga is expecting another baby girl this summer and we can't wait to meet the next supermodel she and Simas bring into the world. The kids had a wonderful time make Valentine's cupcakes.

V Day pictures

Trying to get our picture for Valentine's Day!

Party at Cam's

Ryan and I headed to Jen's house for a great Valentines brunch party with lots of our friends! The kids decorated cookies and had a ball playing! The Moms had a delightful time eating yummy food and drinking mimosas! It wasn't a bad way to spend the morning and we are now all ready for a week of Valentine's Day fun!

I do so like them Sam I am

His first try with eggs was a hit!

NO more monkies!!

I have monkeys in my bed at night. I think we'll need to call some sort of animal rescue. They make all kinds of noises and eat all our bananas.

Under the weather

Even when it is 66 degrees on a day like today, you can still feel under the weather. Ryan, Josh and I got a cold on Wednesday. We've been so healthy this year, it was really a bummer to be struck down so badly. Ryan barely had a symptom while Josh has just not been able to shake it. We are hoping to be back to our old jolly selves soon!

Josh at the Doctor

Josh is now 29 inches long!! That puts him as big as 75% of kids his age! That is based on his real age, not adjusted, so he is really doing great!
He is 19 pounds, so he's only on par with 10% of kids his age there! You would NEVER believe it if you could see him eat! Overall he is really healthy and happy!

How to spot a gremlin

Here are pictures from Daddy's birthday celebration at Grandma's house.

Daddy's birthday

Daddy had his big 35th birthday on the 29th and we had a big weekend celebrating! We went out with two couples on Saturday night to Cantina for dinner and drinks! On Sunday Grandma made a huge dinner and we had a great time with her and Grandpa and Uncle Scott. Daddy got some great gifts. Monday we got Daddy an ice cream cake and had dinner at his favorite burger place!

Ryan decided to cap the night off by dumping water on his brother, who was already bathed and in his jammies.

Josh in the snow

Josh's Mom MIGHT have dressed him in a few too many layers because at first, he was just SASSY! After some adjustments, he was enthralled by the snow!

Ryan in the snow

Snow came to Charlotte this morning and Ryan was so excited! The first thing he had to do was call Grandma and Grandpa to tell them it had snowed (apparently they have no windows at their house!) :) And then he had to ask when Nana was coming because it is now FEBRUARY and I told him she is coming in Feb. He's been outside for hours with his diggers and loaders in the snow!
