Pumpkins 2009

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

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.

Tired Riley.

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

MY BOYS!

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!

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!

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

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 :-)

Rebel XS

We FINALLY got a camrea. A nice new camera. We were wanting to be able to take pictures of the boys at every moment. I am now able to take "lots" of pictures at one time :-) Here are just a few. There will be lots more. Thanks Pa for helping us pick out a great camera!

My Boys!

"Walking"

This is what ryan does all day long.
