Happy Birthday Daddy!

Today is Ryan's Birthday! We love having our Halloween birthday around here...almost as much as we love our daddy. Hope today is wonderful :) Love you babe!

You know you've been too busy when....

there are no posts on your blog in almost two weeks.

good news is, we're alive and well

bad news is, this really doesn't constitute catching up at all and this is all I've got time for :)

It's a BOY!

Boy! Boy! Boy!

I am going to be so outnumbered- and I'm sure I'll love every second of it. Hope they can be good buddies and enjoy sharing a room. Wish us luck :)

We had a fun Wednesday around here!

This cute little firefighter finally got his costume in the mail. We have been tracking it on UPS every day since we ordered it. This is the first year that Tyler picked out his own Halloween costume and he is sooo excited! This picture is after bathtime, the second time he put on his costume. I wish I would have had my camera with me when he put it on for the first time. The package came during his nap, so we told him when he woke up that there was something for him downstairs. I don't know if I have ever seen this kid more excited and happy. It was the most genuine, adorable, smile I've seen out of him in quite awhile. So glad he likes it! Now we just have to hope that it lasts until Halloween and he'll take it off a few times between now and then.
Just for the record, Jake is an adorable green monster and, surprisingly, he loves his costume too. He got mad when I tried to take it off the first time! He and daddy have been practicing his green monster noise. I'll have to try to get some video on here again because it is precious!

Earlier in the day we got to play in the car that Ryan brought home. Today was a Chevy SSR. It looks kinda sissy but that thing can haul! This was the second day in a row that Ryan brought home a convertible (without knowing it) Both days he didn't figure out that the top came off until the boys were checking out the car at home. Well, Tyler was still in a pretty good mood and I needed to get Jake down for his nap so we put Tyler's carseat in with daddy and the boys went for a joy ride.

Tyler absolutely loved it and thought it was the coolest thing ever! He got to sit in the front and go fast with daddy. They drove by our church which is being built about a mile away and then over the train tracks- both special things to Tyler. From the looks of it, I don't think daddy minded the joy ride either :)

We'll see what car Ryan brings home today...you never know :) Although I still don't love the hours, at least Carmax has its perks!
