Happy 1st Birthday Ryan!!!

It's been way too long since my last post. One big milestone is that Ryan turns 1 on June 30. Here is a little video of him eating his cake. Love you Moose! xoxo

Special delivery

Here is a special delivery for you Mumsie! We can't wait to see you on Sunday! xoxo

Sit up straight!

A new milestone for Ryan...he's sitting up! He's still a little wobbly but he sat up for a full 5 minutes tonight and was so super happy!

Gobble Gobble

We had a little Thanksgiving prep earlier this week. We made cornbread and a "Really Big" gingerbread man. I know it's a bit more Chrismasy than it is for Thanksgiving but it was fun for Evan to decorate. We attempted to eat the cookie but it was SO stale.
After decorating the cookie, Evan decided to show his "animal friends" the cornbread. Yes, that is Stripes and Monkey looking at the cornbread with Evan (cornbread was on the stovetop).

Oops I did it again...

(Evan 5 months)

Ryan started eating solid food tonight. We have tried a few times but he just stares at us. Tonight he did open his mouth and actually ate some. The funny thing is, is that he's wearing the same outfit that Evan wore the first time HE had cereal!

Happy Halloween

This year Evan sorta knew what was going on with Halloween. They had prepared their costumes at preschool all week. As a class, they were a big green caterpillar. Unfortunately Evan was home sick on Friday, so was unable to dress up. As soon as I can get him to get into his costume, I'll post that picture (it's a cardboard box, painted green with pipe cleaner legs).
We went to the pumpkin patch on Saturday and managed to get good, big pumpkins despite the misty rain. After naps, The Fay's came over and we carved pumpkins. They turned out pretty good!
On Halloween night, we went to The Fay's to trick-or-treat. Argh Matey! Evan was a pirate and was a happy camper. Ryan was a cow and was not sure what was going on but went along with all the festivities. Hadley was a cowgirl with bling! Everyone had fun!
Evan and Hadley were into checking out decorations and pointing out spiders, ghosts and pumpkins. I think my favorite part of the weekend was watching the kids dance to the skeleton head at The Fay's.

Finally Done

Yes, the rumors are true. The second child does get neglected. Ryan's name is finally on the wall! Love you little man!

Hanging with my uncles

Evan, Ryan and I took Nanny up to San Francisco to meet up with Uncle Michael and Uncle Kirk. We had lunch at Boudin Bistro and then walked around the wharf and saw a submarine and some cool construction trucks.

No more monkeys jumping on the bed!

Need I say more???

Mad Men date

We were at Kelli and Brian's house on Sunday for our weekly Mad Men dinner and movie. Ryan and Brooke were in the "jungle" and they reached out and grabbed each others hands...too cute!
