We have been one crazy family the last month. Riley started 3rd grade and loves school. Riley has also started pop warner football which is intense and very time consuming, between that and our daily stuff we are busy allday everyday. But a good busy :) Ryan is in his last session of swimming lessons and is a fish in the water. He loves to swim. Other then that sadly nothing else has been going on just keeping up with the boys activities and some family time.

Family photo- were all smiling. I LOVE IT!

CHEESE

I have been horrible with updating my blog, its been crazy around here. We are all doing good. Riley is in his last 2 weeks of school then he's off for the summer *yikes*! It will be great to have him home, we will be swimming alot this summer.

Ryan is getting big almost 2 where did my baby go?! He is doing so good. He started swimming lessons the beginning of June. The 1st week he just screamed his head off, now he is a fish in the water. He's the 1st one in the water and the last one out. I'm excited to take him to the pool for the summer.

Craig is going to be starting his new job the end of this month at Southwest Airlines!!!! We are so happy for him to have gotten the job and to start a career with a great company, not to mention that we FLY FREE! Oh do I have lots of places I AM going to visit sometime. When Riley heard that Craig got the he was so happy he started mapping put the places he'd like to go visit New York being #1. What a smart kid.

Hope everyone is doing well and ready for the summer heat :-)

Brothers

2010-03-17T20:23:00.000-07:00

Just a few pictures of the boys. We went to the zoo today and Ryan was not the happiest camper there but his big brother took such good care of him.

BELLA!

2010-03-11T08:24:00.001-08:00

This is our new addition to the family, Bella. She is a 10 week old Rottweiler. She has the best personality and does great with Ryan and follows Riley all around the house. She a great new addiotion.

Riley got invited to a birthday party for one of his school friends at the race track. He was so excited to go but a little nervous as it was going to be his 1st time riding his dirt bike out at the track. He did great!

Go speed racer!!!!

Computer

2010-01-30T15:30:00.001-08:00

My handsome little 1 year old came into our bedroom the other day climbed up in the computer chair saw the screen saver I had on the computer and was like it the most sincere voice "mama", "dada", "brother". Oh my heart just instantly melted. So sweet!

18 months old!

2010-01-17T18:48:00.000-08:00

Well it's hard to believe that my baby is 18 months old. He is growing so quickly and its amazing. He is into his blanket (big time) and he calls it gee. He is still in love with his paci ans we are NOT allowed to leave the house without the 2 of those things.
He is wanting to be outside all the time. During that day ill take him out there for a little bit but then he knows as soon as brother gets home from school that he can go out there. The boys have been out there up to 2 hours a day. The weather has been in the 70's so there loving it out there (as am I)! My baby is growing up quickly and has a great personality.

Merry Christmas

2010-01-02T17:46:00.001-08:00

Hope everyone had a great Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas. The boys enjoyed all there toys. This year we were looking for more practical gifts so we decided to do outdoor toys (it was a great idea). They got a trampoline from Santa, Basketball Hoop from Grandma and Kelly, Swing Set from Grandpa and Carol and an outdoor table from Pa and Nana. It was a great year :-)

Santa And Mrs. Clause

2009-12-14T10:02:00.001-08:00

We got to see Santa and Mrs. Clause. My dad had a Christmas Party at his house last weekend where Santa and Mrs. Clause made a "surprise appearance"! They read the kids a book and then handed out toys for all the kids. Ryan was a little baby last Christmas where he didn't remember Santa, so much to my surprise (yeah right) he didn't like Santa at all this year. He cried as Craig was walking up to see him and then screamed more as he got put on Santa's lap. Oh well hopefully next year he'll like more :-) Riley was thrilled to see Santa (had nothing to do with the big sack of toys he brought in). Riley sat on his lap like a cue boy and told him what he wanted and took a picture. After we all meet Santa we had hot chocolate and Krispy Kreme Donuts! It was a great time. Thanks Dad!!!!

Riley got some much needed new shoes!

Ryan got some toy cars!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree....

2009-12-07T09:19:00.000-08:00

It's Christmas time! I love Christmas time and especially the tree. We get a real Christmas Tree (like everyone should) When I was growing up we would go out and cut a tree down up North. I'm hoping that next year when Ryan is older we can make that a family tradition. We got our tree came home and got our Christmas box out. Put the lights up and then i got to the bottom where the ornaments have always been and there is only 2 ornaments. I'm so mad we can't find the rest of the kids ornaments. I'm pulling my hair out hoping to remember where they are but I'm just at a loss because that's that's the only place they could be. So are tree is a little bear right now but it's the idea that counts? right???? TREE!

Riley is "8"

2009-11-16T18:19:00.000-08:00

Riley Craig Fisk is 8 years old. What a hard thing to believe that he is 8 years old. I remember the day I had him to every last detail. He had his birthday party at the Freestone Park so he can invite his school friends this year. He had a sports themed party. It was a blast. Riley wanted to have a kickball tournament with the kids vs. the parents. It was so FUN! We had a great party.

The night of his actual birthday he wanted to go to dinner at AH-SO! It a Tepinaykii type restaurant where they cook in front you. We were joined by my Mom, Aundrea, Josh and Mary. It was so fun. They do cool tricks while they are cooking in front of you and the food is DELICIOUS!!!!! Overall it was a great birthday and I'm so happy to have such a great son.
Love you Riley!!!!!!!! His football cake (thanks nana)

Riley wanted this really fast remote control car foe his birthday, so his daddy( that wants one as well) was all happy when he heard that and went out and bought it immediately. The boys go out and play with that car all time. Im glad he likes it.

Halloween 2009

2009-11-08T09:53:00.000-08:00

Happy Halloween! I know once again I'm a little behind but its best to be late then never. We had a wonderful Halloween. Riley dressed up as a zombie rocker and Ryan was a baby devil. We went over to the Steph and Pete's house to have dinner and trick or treat in the neighborhood. The boys had a blast and the whether was great. Hope everyone enjoyed there Halloween!

Pumpkins 2009

2009-11-08T09:30:00.001-08:00

Ive been really bad on my post. We have been busy around here and it has totally passed my mind. We had a good month of October. There are 3 birthdays on Craig's side. We had many birthday parties and then getting ready for Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch and let the boys pick out a pumpkin they liked. Riley got a medium size one and Ryan got a baby one. We came home got a pizza and started carving away with Aundrea and Josh. Riley was all in to pulling out he seeds but of course he picked the most carving in the book so Craig had to do the carving. Since he didn't get to carve his and Ryan is to little for a nap Riley got to carve Ryan's all on his own. He didn't want to use a stencil and just free handed the face. It turned out great and he had a blast.

Fall Break

2009-10-19T19:27:00.000-07:00

We had a wonderful fall break. Riley was off of school the last week. We enjoyed him being home to do stuff and he enjoyed being able to sleep in. We had quite the busy week. We went to the zoo with all the cousins, went ice blocking and Riley, mom and dad went goofy golfing, dinner and go-karts. We had a busy week but a fun week.
Ryan enjoyed having his brother home to play with. Ryan has not been a very happy baby the past few weeks. We are once again dealing with ear infectins. We are "finally" heading back to his ENT this wednesday. Hope its good news.
Overall a great week and im happy that he is back in school this week :-)

Here are a few pictures.

Ryan was so fascinated that he was able to be that close to the goats.

15 months old!

2009-10-09T11:52:00.000-07:00

Ryan has had another milestone. He is 15 months old. He has accomplished so much in his 15 months.
* He loves to walk everywhere, loves paci, copies everything his brother does, hates to be cuddled, hes a mamma's boy(i have to have 1),eats everything he can, hates using a fork.

15 months old!

Big Boy

He has finally been moved out of his high chair into a booster seat at the big table. He loves sitting at the table with us. He sits next to his big brother and just eats away like a big boy.

His stats at the doctor today were 22.8 lbs (25%), 31 in. long (50%) and 30 for the head (95%). He is healthy and happy. We love you Ryan!

It's Official!

2009-09-21T19:13:00.001-07:00

My baby boy is walking. It only took 14 1/2 months but hes doing it! He is walking all over the place which means getting into any and everything he possibly can. We are so proud of him.

14 months old!

2009-09-09T19:07:00.001-07:00

My baby boy Ryan is 14 months old today. I cant believe time has flown by so fast. He is such an active and very energetic boy. He is not officially walking but will walk without help about 8 steps. He has 6 teeth, and weights about 23 lbs. He is so full of energy though (i forgot how energetic boys are). He's not an easy one to get to stand still so i can take a picture.

What can I say he is handsome and has a great smile :-)

Riley's Room

2009-09-05T06:54:00.000-07:00

Riley has been wanting to paint to his room. He had this idea that he wanted to do skulls in his room. He was going to paint the walls red and black then have nana come over and do some are work on the walls. Craig and I were like thats going to make the room so small and dark. So my friend Amy has a friend that does vinyl stickers and we came up with a vinyl sticker of a skull instead of the whole room. Needless to say I LOVE IT(and Riley)! It looks so cool and even better we got away with only one wall red and the one skull.

I love the sticker it was a great idea :-)

We finally got some family pictures.

THANK YOU JIM for taking our pictures :-)

FONDUE!

2009-08-05T20:10:00.000-07:00

Riley and I were in the pantry today and found are fondue kit. So we made dinner and then decided to have chocoloate fondue for dessert. That was a good choice. Riley loved it (of course) we had strawberries, graham crackers, marshmallows and bananas. YUMMY

Summer Fun!

2009-08-04T08:44:00.000-07:00

We have been having a fun summer, but it's almost time for Riley to begin his journey into second grade :-) I am so sad and happy at the same time. He'll be very excited to get back to his friends and ill be happy to have him be busy again. He has had a great summer but hes starting to get bored (which in turn means driving his mama crazy).

Ryan is doing good. He is getting bigger everyday and starting to want to talk alot more and on the verge of getting ready to walk. How quick time flies. he has extended his 2 word vocabulary to about 4. He has tried to say Riley which he says riri and he said Nana for the first time on Sunday in front of Nana. He's doing good.

Bring on the school year :-)

Oceanside California

2009-07-15T07:36:00.001-07:00

Well over this past weekend we did a trip to Oceanside, CA and went to Sea orld while we were there. What a fun time we had. We enjoyes 75 degree weather and being inches away from the beach. We went as well as my dad and the kids and my Grandma Young. We loved it our hotel was inches from the beach and we were there everday and chance that we had. Riey was a trooper and would go out very far to jump to waves. He even tried to boogy board. Ryan went down there and had no fun. He didnt want to sit in the sand and would cringe and put his feet up. Hes much like his father, craig was the one that would opt to not go to the beach and watch the baby insead. We had a great weekend and can't wait to go back SOON!

Ryan wanted nothing to do with the sand.

Riley loved the beach.

Ryan is "1"

2009-07-14T12:15:00.000-07:00

Well this is a sad post for me. My little baby boy is 1. He is officially out of the infant stage. I can't believe how fast time has gone by. I'm so happy that he is a healthy, happy, loving, energetic and playful boy. He loves to play with cars like is big brother, ride on his mickey mouse car and eat. He has overcome so much from the day he was born. He is crawling all over the place and will pull up on everything and will let go for a few seconds but then falls to his bottom. He has even accomplished going up the stairs but not the down part. When my baby was born on July 9, 2008 at 9:28 am. He was delivered c-section. He came out will all his fingers and toes. He was brought to me for a quick kiss and then taken away from me immediately as he was not breathing correctly. He was taken to the NICU and placed on a breathing machine, got shots to toughen up his lunges and had 3 iv's in him. That was the scariest thing for me. But after 4 days will the wonderful nurses, doctors, mom, dad, brother and all his loving family he was coming home. That was the best day for us. So how things can change. He is the best baby and you would never think he needed a little help to get out to this crazy world with is family. Ryan you are mom's, dad's and brothers baby boy. We are so happy to have you in are family and LOVE you more then anything. Happy 1st Birthday.

HI!

2009-07-03T16:03:00.000-07:00

My baby boy has said his first word after mom and dad. He is now saying "HI" all the time to everyone and everything, I can't believe that he is going to be talking soon. Well hell be 1 this week so ill post after that. (sad)

ICE BLOCKING!!!!!

2009-06-27T17:32:00.000-07:00

The family!

Ryan loved playing in the grass.

Aunt Aung and Ryan!
(yes he did go down the hill)

Avery and Nana!

Mayci and Kelli.

Well for those that are from AZ most likely know and have been ice blocking before. It's so much fun and something we use to do when I was growing up. I wanted to go so we went and Kelli, Mayci, Avery, Nana and Pa joined us. This was everyone's first time except mine and aung. We went to Discovery Park in Gilbert. What a blast we had. Riley would go down the hill so quickly and was having a blast.Craig did it also and by my thought he actually really enjoyed it. Avery really enjoyed it and he would go down with whoever would take him he didn't want to stop. Ryan and Mayci were crawling/walking up the hill and down enjoying being outdoors. Nana went on the ice block mostly with Avery. Pa didn't want to try it :-(! Aung and I really enjoy it and it reminded us so much of when we were younger. Overall a great time and can't wait to go again!

*Garza's your coming next time!!!*

Summer!

2009-06-04T15:24:00.000-07:00

My baby boy has accomplished crawling finally at 10 months old :-(. Now that he is all over the place why did I ever wish he would crawl. He does not sit still at all. He is now starting to pull up on the couch and in his crib.

I have really fallen off the bloging wagon. Summer has began. Riley is out of 1st grade for the summer and we have been swimming while keeping busy and trying to stay cool. We have been going to an Aquatic Center in Chandler once a week with cousins and friends. It's really fun they have 2 slides, a lazy river, zero depth pool(which Ryan loves), diving board, and a whirlpool. Riley has a blast there and it keeps us cool.

Mommies Day

2009-05-12T10:21:00.000-07:00

My boys!

Beautiful Flowers.

Mother's Day was a wonderful day again this year! This was my 7th year as a Mother to Riley and my 1st Mothers Day with Ryan. I am so blessed with 2 wonderful boys who I love so much and adore them so much. There is no greater gift in the world like being a Mother. The boys had made me some canvas paintings with there hand prints and Ryan's also had his foot prints. I will cherish these gifts forever. There is nothing better then hand made gifts from your kids. Riley had also bought me beautiful flowers and made me a picture holder at school. I am in love with my boys so much and Im so happy to be called there MOMMY!

~Hope eveyone had a blessed and happy Mother's Day!~

My 9 month old baby!

I have been very bad with posting. It's been crazy busy and I just forgot to do it. There has been alot going on since I posted last. Where to begin. First thing first my baby boy turned 9 months old on April 9th. I can't believe it he'll be 1 before I know it:-(

We had a nice Easter. The boys decorated there Easter Eggs and then the Easter bunny came and gave the boys realistic toys this year. Riley got a Sno Cone Machine which he loves. Ryan is in to Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and got bath toys and a Mickey Mouse.

T-Ball

2009-04-02T10:21:00.000-07:00

Well my big baby boy Riley started t-ball this week. I was anxious to sign him up for a few reasons the first anyone who now's Riley now's he is very good and not doing anything he dosn't want to do and then t-ball is 5-7 years old and Riley is 7 so I was afraid he was going to be the oldest and tallest. Well much to my surprise he is loving it and there is one other kid on his team that is the same age and even a little taller. He has had practice 2 times this week and they start there games next Monday. He is getting excited. He was the first one to practice on Monday so he got the number 1! Lucky number. He was really excited.

Riley and Maggie on the scary ride

Man did we have an exciting week. Riley and I left on Saturday morning and drove to San Diego. My dad was taking us on a 4 day cruise out of San Diego. It was 12 people that went. The list goes Dad, Carol, Josh, Me, Aundrea, Bubba, Zac, Maggie, Riley, Tara, Emily and Maylinn. What a group but it was a lot of fun. On Saturday we got to San Diego at about 2 and headed straight for the Mission Beach. Some of us did the roller coaster in Belmont Park and the others did some fast ride you sit in including Riley. All I was thinking is he was going to barf, cry, or just freak out. He insisted he wanted to do it so he went on it. He had a blast and didn't do anything I was afraid of except have a blast. I was so proud of my baby boy for going on that crazy ride. We then went to the Ocean. Riley loves the ocean it was just putting our feet in the water because we didn't have our swim suits and then Riley was wet all the way to his shirt. What did I expect when we are at the Ocean. We were staying at a hotel on Saturday night and getting on the cruise ship on Sunday at 12pm. We were all getting so excited!!!!

Sunday came around and we were headed to the cruise port. It took a while to board we got on and headed straight to the buffet. All you can eat food the whole cruise that's not going to be a good thing:-) We were making 2 stops while on the 4 day cruise. Catalina Island, CA and Ensenada, MX. When we got off at Catalina Island we walked around and Grandpa got us tickets to take a submarine ride to look at he fishes. It was so much fun. We then were in Ensenada the next day. Not much to do we got off looked around shopped and then back on the boat. The next day was a day at Sea. We eat swimmed and eat some more. In the evening there was a dance off contest. It was fun and much to my surprise Riley was out there dancing in a big crowd with people actually watching him. I'm just amazed at how much he's coming out of his shell and becoming a mature young man. And every night on the boat there was family karaoke and on the final evening Riley had the courage and went up and sang with Maggie and Emily Honky Tonk Badonkadonk (sp?) I was so proud of him!

We had a great time and can't wait to do another cruise. Thank you Dad and Carol for taking us.

Sneak Peak

2009-03-13T15:24:00.000-07:00

I had to get Riley a nice outfit for the formal night on the cruise. He wanted to try it on before the cruise and all I have to say is handsome.

It'a little blurry but you can see the cuteness!!!

I forgot

2009-03-11T19:51:00.000-07:00

While we were at the doctor today Ryan got weighed and weights 17lbs and 6 ounces. He looks big to me but I guess thats still small. He's be my petite baby :-)

Busy week...

2009-03-11T19:01:00.000-07:00

Sitting up in the bathtub!

8 months old

On his knees getting ready.

A great big brother putting him to sleep :-)

It's has been a crazy week. Riley and I are going to be leaving this saturday and going on a family cruise with my dad and the family. I have been trying to figure out what we need and think what were going to take. During this crazy week I started to feel sick on Monday, Riley on Tuesday and Ryan on tuesday as well. Not a good week to get ill. Ryan was up all night last night and that's out of the ordinary. So I took him to the doctor this am and he has an ear infection in both ears. Poor baby. Riley and I are on medicine and hoping we get better before we drive to San Diego this Saturday. We are excited but will miss Ryan SO much :-( He will be with his Dad in the nights and Nana during the day.

We had another milestone this past Monday. Ryan turned 8 months old. It is so hard to believe that my baby is 8 months old. He is sitting on his own very well and is starting to pull up on his knees but falls to his tummy and gets mad. I'm in no rush to get him crawling because that just leads to walking (scary)!

Well post about our cruise when we get home!!!!!

Had to post...

2009-02-18T17:26:00.000-08:00

Just Born
So cute and innocent

If you look close enough you can see his club foot.

Today I was packing up some of my room and came upon some pictures of Riley when he was a baby and around 2 years old. How quick they grow and how much you forget things they would do at a younger age. Wanted to share some pics.

Here are some pics.

2009-02-18T15:54:00.000-08:00

Here are just some pics from the last week. Nothing exciting. Riley is into posing all the time while the camera is on him. And Ryan is a cheese-ball the instant he sees the camera he gets a huge smurk on his face. So cute.

Long week...

2009-02-15T10:03:00.000-08:00

We have been just hanging out around the house packing and cleaning. We are in the process of moving by the end of the month and It's a lot more preperation in the house were moving into then we had all expected. We have been there painting, cleaning and getting ready for new carpet. But on a good note we are super excited to be moving into a house were the boys will have a backyard and can play instead of on the sidewalk in the front of the apartment.

We had a nice Valentines Craig and I took the boys out to Texas Roadhouse. Riley as usual eat to much bread so when it came time to eat dinner he eat nothing and was hungry an hour later. Typical Riley. Ryan on the other hand had begun to think that's he's to old for baby food and wanted everything we were eating. He had some bread then Craig had gotten Green Beans for his side and Ryan had decided he wanted to eat them. He eat the whole cup full. Chubbers!

Riley has been doing very well in school and is starting to enjoy reading a lot more which is a great accomplishment for him. Were so proud of him. He has a party at school and was so cute to come home and show me all of the valentines he had gotten from school.

Ryan has begun sitting up on his own very good. He is now rolling from side to side but i definitely think he will be a late walker and crawler which is ok by me. How the times fly. My baby turned & months last Monday and it's so hard to believe he's 1/2 way to being ONE *tear*! He is getting bigger and a great baby!

This thing will not let me upload photos so i'll try later.

Getting so big..

2009-02-05T06:13:00.001-08:00

So today my baby has woken up with two bottom teeth. I can't believe it. He is getting so big. He is finally sitting up all on his own and now teeth! He is still tall, skinny and a big nogin. We had the Hospital nurse visit yesterday and she said he is develpoing very well and they couldn't be happier. Now the teeth have begun to pop through it's just a matter of time till he has a lot more. Love you Ryan.

We have been up to a whole bunch of nothing:) Riley is keeping busy with school. Riley had got the Wii for Christmas so he has been playing Guitar Hero alot. He is on the 3rd CD and stuck on one song but he is determined to beat this song so he can get ahead of Grandpa Kelly. It's so cute he will stand a rock out and been in deep concentration. Ryan is getting so big. He is in love with his feet right now it's so adorable. He is rolling from side to side ut having a hard time with the stiiting up on his own. Have a BIG gap between my boys I have forgot alot of what Riley was doing at his age. He'll sit up when he wants to. Here are a few pics of the boys.

Riley rocking out! Happy baby. Love's it outdoors.

The Harlem Globetrotters

Harlem Globetrotters running there circle.

Maggie looking great:)

This past weekend Riley and I had gone to The Harlem Globetrotters game with my Dad, Aung, Maggie, Josh, Zac, Bubba and Carol. Maggie was performing in the half time show with the dance team she is on. The game was great and Riley had a blast. They were doing funny stuff and Riley said this is not how the Suns play mom? SO cute! He had been to a Suns game before so I think he was a little confused to see the Harlem Globetrotters do all sorts of silly things and not play real basketball:) We had a blast and thanks dad for inviting us. Well on to Maggie she did a GREAT job. She is amazing (needless to say) in her dancing abilities. I use to dance while I was younger but nothing like her. She did great looked good and we love you Maggie. Good Job!

Sunrise

2008-12-30T09:36:00.001-08:00

Ryan sitting in the lodge ready for a nap.

Yesterday we went up to Sunrise to do some snowboarding. It was Me, Craig, Riley, Ryan, Aundrea, Maggie and my dad. My dad cme and picked us up at 4:30 in the am and we were on our way up to Sunrise. It was chilly up there. The roads were covered with snow once we had passed through Payson. We got up to Sunrise around 9 a.m. We were going to put Riley and Maggie in the 90 min. snowbaording class but at 9 a.m. they were selling tickets for the 1:30 class so we decided to not sign them up. Aundreas has been snowboarding plenty of times ans is good so she decided she would give the kids plus Craig a few pointers. They got all gearded up and went down the bunny hill. It was Riley's first time, Maggie went a little last year and Craig had not tried since he was about 12. Maggie went first and did extremely well. Riley went and did very good. Craig went on fell on his butt instantly. Riley had never done it again and gets vert irritated easily so i was a little worried but he did great and wa ready o do it again. They went down the bunny hill one more time. After that they decided to go midway up the mountain. I was shocked to see RIley going up that tall and long ski lift but he was ready. Ryan And I as well as Grandpa went up to the lodge while they did that. Ryan was such a good boy the whole time :)
So they had gone down the big hill and Riley did great. Maggie was cruising the whole time down. Craig didn't do so well. He did a few summersalts down the hill then decided he couldn't do it anymore and walked down half the mountain. I wish I could have seen that. The day was really fun and Riley has found his new sport he loves so we will be making a few more trips up there this season.

Too long

He is getting so big.

He needs a haircut but still handsome

You know your baby is getting big when he can hold his bottle :(

They were matching.

So it's been a while since i've posted. It has been crazy with christmas coming up i've been trying to get everything done. We will be having a busy Christmas but always fun. Riley is so excited and he has asked santa for a Nintendo WII which grandpa got for him (thanks dad). So craig and I gor him the Guitar hero to go with it. I can't wait for him to get it on Christmas Day.

We took Ryan to his GI appointment on Thursday which went well it was hard to see him strapped down but he was so good. The doctor doing the test said he didn't see anything wrong with his anatomy so that was good and yesterday i got a call for the doctor office confirming that. We are so happy we won't need to pursue anything else with that we will just have a small baby:)

We are looking forward to Christmas and post after that. Everyone have a Merry Christmas!

Ryan eating baby food.

So on monday the 10th the doctor told me that i can start feeding Ryan stage 1 foods. I can't believe it that m 4 month old baby is eating baby food. We were told to start out with all the vegetables and then we can do the fruit. So on tuesday RIley and I fed ryan his first set of baby food. We decided we would try squash first. He seems to have liked it and he eat half the jar the first day. Now on day 3 which is thursday he is now wanting to eat he whole jar. I still can't believe it. I feel as now that's he's on baby food he's not as much as my baby as he was before:( He is doing great his weight was down but we will be taking him to a specialist to see if he has reflex so hopefully that will come back as he is ok. Here are his oictures of his first time eating baby food. His Stats were: 11.10 lbs., 42cm his head, and 24.7 in long.

Riley's Birthday

2008-11-12T08:19:00.000-08:00

On Sunday Nov. 9Th my 1st baby boy turns "7" I still can't believe Riley is 7 years old. He is a great kid whom we love so much. He has been an amazing helper since the arrival of his brother. He is starting to do things on his own without needing help or being told to. For his birthday we had decided he wanted to go to Amazing Jake's. We had all of Craig and I families there Riley's friend Emilee. He had such a great time but once again when it came time to blow out the candles on his cake he was not having it and threw a fit. I can't believe at 7 years old and he's still doing that. Here are some pics not all the best but you'll get the jest of it :)

About time

2008-10-06T09:45:00.000-07:00

I have decided I would start a blog that I could share what is going on with me and the kids. We have a pretty busy life these days. Riley is currently in 1st grade. He is excelling very well in his school work i am so proud of him. He will be having a birthday coming up in a month and he'll be 7 hard to believe where did time go? Ryan is changing so much everyday it's amazing. He will be 3 months on the 9th. He is smiling so much more and very interested in what is going on around him. My boys are amazing and Riley has grown so much since Ryan was born and he loves his brother so much he never wants to be without him. It's really cute but at times but we have to force him to do something for him or he would do nothing but sit by his brother.
