Memorial Day Weekend

We had a lot of fun going to Jeff's Aunt and Uncle's cabin for Memorial Day weekend. We went with Jeff's parents, Craig & Becky & kids, and Randy. The kids loved it! How can you not love cousins, four wheeling, fire, and a stream to throw rocks into?!

Ryan fell asleep on the way there holding Alex's hand. So cute!

Ryan's Birthday

Ryan turned 3 on May 20th. He is such a fun little boy and he ALWAYS has a smile on his face (except for the tired tantrums)! We just love him to pieces!!!

He had a lot of fun at a few different parties. We have a calendar that has picture from last year. For the month of May it has pictures of Ryan's 2nd birthday, when we went bowling and had basketball cupcakes. So he thought he had to do the same things as the pictures. Here are some pictures from his celebrations:

Here's my 4 month old baby!! He is growing and changing so fast, I can't believe it!. I thought I had every baby toy on the planet, but apparently I needed a bumbo too. SO here's the new Bumbo. Alex likes sitting in it and chewing on toys, blankets, or his hands. Jane and Ryan also love to sit in it!

Yes, my baby has big eyes!!! It's funny the comments that come after "look at those big eyes!" Some of them are: "he looks so alert", "he looks so awake", "he looks so old", and my favorite, "does he ever blink?" I just always laugh about comments people make about babies. One person will say "look how skinny he is" and the very next will say "what a chunker!" I never know how to respond to any comments b/c to me he is, of course, just my perfect baby with big beautiful blue eyes!

Jeff took the kids camping in the backyard. The tent seemed too small because Jane felt the need to bring every toy into the tent with her.

I always try to get a parents' backyard during the 2 weeks the tulips are out.

Can you tell Jane LOVES having her picture taken?!!!

Caboyzon

Jane: "Can I go play in the caboyzon?"

Me: "the what?"

Jane: "the caboyzon, where I swing on the hammock!"

Me: "Oh, the gazebo?"

Jane: "Yea, the gabeezo!"

Easter Pics

We took some Easter pics at Target yesterday. It was hard getting 6 kids ages 4 and under to sit still, so we felt lucky that we got 1 smile out of any of them! Oh and then, the camera broke, so we had to do them all again! They all looked cute in their matching outfits, but I have a feeling we will hear a different opinion when they are all teens.
