Fun, Fun, Fun!!

Halloween was a lot of fun this year! Ryan was Buzz Lightyear and Sam was Charlie Brown. We went to a neighborhood party and then on a hayride to trick-or-treat. Ryan really loved getting all the candy at each door.....Sam didn't really know what to think about it all. He didn't want to even approach the door.





We celebrated Ryan's 4th birthday with a family party at home and a party for friends at Pump It Up! We had so much fun! It's so hard to believe he's 4 years old!!

Pumpkin Patch

Today I took the boys to our local pumpkin patch. Again, they loved it!! Ryan made some friends while we were there. Sam was hilarious trying to pick up all the pumpkins! We picked out 4 to bring home! Too cute!

Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch

Ryan, Sam and I went to visit NanNan and Pops last weekend. We had a great time! Saturday, NanNan and Pops took Ryan and Sam to the Grand Ole Pumpkin Patch in Clanton. They had a great time!! It's so nice to be living near family again!!

The boys

These are some fun pictures of the boys over the past few months. I have really gotten behind on my "blogging"! Anyway, these are pictures from the park, the boys' first day of "school" (Mother's Morning Out), playing in the jumper in the backyard, and enjoying some lollipops!! They are growing up so much and really starting to play TOGETHER which is great!!! Enjoy!

Fun in Mobile

We spent an afternoon at Dauphin Island. The boys had a great time playing in the sand and water. There were a lot of jellyfish in the water, so we had to be very careful. It's nice to be this close to the beach.






Jay and Ryan took a field trip to the battleship park. I love this picture of Ryan being a pirate!!

We have a home!!!

So...we moved into our new home 2 weeks ago and are loving it!! Ryan was thrilled (and a bit amazed) to have all his toys back. Sam loves his new room. Mom and Dad are just excited to have a home again. We make a run to SuperTarget and Lowe's EVERYDAY still, but we'll get it all together eventually. Come see us anytime!

Happy 1st Birthday, Sam!!!

Yesterday was Sam's 1st birthday!! We had a great party at my mom's house. It was so nice to have our family together. It's hard to believe he is already 1. The year has gone by so quickly. He is still the sweetest little boy with the biggest smile! It's so funny.....when we're out and about running errands, it never fails that someone will say, "He is so cute! Can I take him home with me?" What an angel.....

Whew!! We're busy

Okay so I haven't posted sice April. Things have been a little crazy. No, I would say VERY crazy. We sold our house in NC and are in the process of finding a place to live in AL. Jay is starting med school in August. The boys and I are living with my mom for now while Jay finishes up in NC. Like I said, VERY crazy.
Anyway, I thought I'd post some photos of what weve been doing.

Sam really enjoyed packing!!

We visited the Montgomery Museum of Fine Art for some fun.

Sam giving Mom a flower at NanNan's house. Too sweet!

Ryan and Big Mo at the Montgomery Biscuits baseball game.

Ryan and Sam playing in the creek at PapaJerry's house.

Taking our daily stroll through the neighborhood.

Ryan has learned to jump off the diving board by himself!! He loves the water!

Ryan started soccer practice yesterday. He's playing through the YMCA and their league is called the Mighty Mites --- too cute. Anyway, the team is 3 and 4 year old boys and girls. I think the goal of yesterday's practice was to teach them not to touch the ball with their hands and to stay within the boundaries. FUNNY!!!! Needless to say, Ryan loved it! This is what he's all about!

Sam 9 months old

Easter at NanNan and Pop's house

A few photos from our trip to Alabama for Easter. The boys had so much fun playing outside and coloring eggs. Ryan caught a big bass at PapaJerry's house and spent some time with ShaSha, Uncle Stu, and Aunt Hope. As you can see, Sam is much more mobile now...crawling everywhere and trying to walk. Ryan still LOVES playing in the water...even if it's freezing outside!

Mom and the boys

Brothers

Fun With My Brother

Sam and Ryan are playing together now....and it's so much fun. They were playing with play-doh and chasing each other through the tunnel. Just too funny!!

My boys

I love these faces! Ryan is so much fun, and so "grown up" now. He'll just look at me and say, "Mommy, I love you." It melts my heart. And Sam is as busy as can be.....pulling himself up, clapping, and even walking while holding my fingers. He thinks he is just as big as Ryan. They are the sweetest brothers.............. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful family..........

Valentine's Day

Look at these happy boys on Valentine's Day! They loved the candy, and I loved the kisses!
