Pictures with Laura...

Brittyn had her first photo shoot outside of the hospital this past Saturday with Laura Wahlquist, a budding lawyer who is moonlighting as a photographer after work and on weekends. She does a great job but says she "needs to practice" so I decided to have her practice on Brittyn. I think she's headed to the top in more ways than one.

Happy birthday...

Ryan has loved singing happy birthday since before her very own birthday!!! She goes around the house saying and singing it to everyone and it has only intensified since the beginning of those American Cancer Society commercials where celebrities sing a generic "happy birthday" song. This one is for Terah. The next one is for YOU!!!

Ring around the Rosie...

pocketful of posies, upstairs, downstairs, we all fall DOWN!!!...Or that's how its supposed to go...Ryan, of course has a different version...listen up, its a keeper...we may even need an official declaration to change the song!!!

Cowgirl Ryan...

Ryan is wearing a true multi-tasker in this post...from party goer to cowgirl to football player, she is doing it all...Attended Emma Willis' birthday party earlier this month and had a blast! Rode horses with Monte Revell, didn't need her mommy or daddy to hold her on the horse, matter of fact, she didn't want us to hold her or help her...she could do it herself!!!...Then, when the big horse left, she went looking for another horse that would do the trick. When that ended she ate cupcakes and played football. Needless to say, she fell asleep before we even hit Hwy. 20!!! We all had a quiet ride back to Tally that day!!!

The end is near...

At least in these photos it was...theseare the last of the pictures from the hospital...the ones people take when you're standing in the room tapping your foot on the floor because the staff has told you that you can go home and they will "be right back" to help you out...then you wait another hour or so...UGHHH!!!...they've been sitting on my desktop since we got home from the hospital and I just haven't posted them...Since I'm on my last couple weeks of maternity leave, I figure I better get them done before I go back to work...Hopefully once I get back to work, I will be able to keep up with my blog and kids and house and the rest of the stuff...But, I know that people do it every day and do much more than me so I think I can handle it!!!

Wishes...

Ryan loves Dora, have I mentioned that before?...Everything she says lately has some sort of "Dora" reference..."I wish Dora back home" is from the latest big adventure that Dora has been on...Ryan walks around the house wishing Dora back home...Just thought it was hilarious how her face looks when she says it...She can't just say it...She has to smile and squint her eyes shut to say the phrase...At least her "wish" comes true and Dora makes it home in the episode!!!

Dee-licious!!!

Ryan has such a way with words, especially words about food. Especially about foods that are sweet. Kylia and I went to lunch one Saturday (pre-Brittyn) while the guys were tailgating at a football game and Ryan didn't have much to do with lunch. However, Kylia had a coupon (I love going to lunch with Kylia!!!) for a dessert and of course we took advantage of it...it was a brownie sundae!!! Well, in true form, Ryan perked right up when she saw that brownie with chocolate syrup and vanilla ice cream!!! She couldn't get enough and couldn't get it fast enough. She no sooner had taken one bite than she had her mouth open for the next bite and Kylia and I were both feeding her!!! Take a look, she knows when something is delicious, she said it several times during the taping!!!

Dancing with her daddy...

Most days when Joe comes home from work, Ryan is waiting at the top of the stairs for him. He picks her up and gives her kisses and twirls her around and asks her about her day. Sometimes he will dance her around and sing her a little song. This little video is of Ryan and Daddy dancing and singing their "song." Too cute...

Random pics of the girls...

Amelia is a big fan of the baby...Ryan, not so much. Not yet anyway!

So, most of these pictures are, or should be of Brittyn coming home from the hospital. But, like any other person who has several things going on everyday, I may not get the pictures just right. Anyway, here are more pics of Brittyn and Ryan, enjoy!
