Happy Birthday Ryan!!!

My little baby turns TWO! I still remember when I brought him home from the hospital as if it were yesterday. Amazing how fast time flies and I'm so grateful that I was blessed enough to be a stay at home mom and have been able to be with him all this time to cherise all the memories as he's growing up. I cant get enough of this kid! Ryan is an independent, curious, tempered, loving and funny little two year old. He loves making music with his harmonica and likes to be silly and dance to music.



We are going to celebrate Ryan and little Roberts Birthday together next month with close family, which will be in between both their birthdays (Ryan's October and Robert is December). But I still wanted to do something today. I took them to San Tan Mall to go play in the water area, to my dissapointent I found out they turned them off a day before...! They were ready to get wet in their outfits and I had all the stuff packed! I was so sad for him because he LOVES to get wet and was looking forward to it. ;o(.

I then took him to Build a Bear and he loved it in there. He and Robert chose their bears and outfits.

Here he is on the way back home. He was soooo tired because he didnt take a nap! We named his bear "Bailey" and we put a "Happy Birthday" song inside. Ryan kept playing the song over and over and loved his new little friend.





Robert chose a dog he named "Fluffy" and chose a karate outfit for him. When we got home I dressed him up in the same outfit and he was so excited he now wants to do karate.





Ryan LOVES popcorn, so when Robert got home from work I made some popcorn and brownies and we all watched Kung Fu Panda.


This is Ryan when he gets all into the movie



The kids and they're favorite dog in the whole world, Buster.




Ever since Ryan was born he loves to touch my skin. While I would breast feed him he would touch and feel my arms. As he got bigger he started to lift my shirt and play with my belly! LOL... It's so embarassing yet funny at the same time. He just grabs my skin and he likes to put his mouth on my stomach and make noises! LOL... Why am I sharing this, I have no idea. When I think of him all these things he does come to mind.

When I catch him doing something he's not supposed to I firmly tell him "No!" and of course he continues and just watches me with a big smile. I tell him "No!" again and he continues until I start counting. By the time I get to 2 then he turns around starts running and laughing as if it were the funniest game in the world! Ryan manages to raise my blood pressure and still cracks me up every day! I ALWAYS have to be watching him because he's so curious and doesnt see the danger in things yet. I'm so in love with him and thank God for having him in my life!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYAN I LOVE U!!!!

New Addition to Our Family!!!!

We are SOOOO excited we got a dog. He's a 6 month old Beagle with lots of personality! We found him on craigslist and just fell in love with him. I couldnt believe we were getting another dog after being so adament I would not get another beagle because of their difficulty in getting trained (some tend to be really stubborn). We were so desperate with the situation with our last dogs that we gave them away! We definitely regret that decision and realized afterwards it was nobodys fault but our own for not spending the necessary time to properly train the dogs. We were both working full time back then and didnt have the time for them. Now that I'm home full time I have been itching for another dog.

We are undecided on the name, I like the names "Buster" and "Freckles" cause he has lots of cute little freckles around his nose. We are working on potty training him. I'm taking him outside every 1/2 hour. He's been acting pretty hyper but I'm assuming its because this is all new to him and he's playing with the boys. If you have any great training ideas, please let me know!!!!



He loves this toy!

Robert and Ryan are so in love with this dog. He plays SO well with them too. They can pull his ears and poke his eyes and he still would not do anything. They are so good with kids.

Thank you!

Robert's welcome home gathering and house warming party was a BLAST! We were sad not everyone was able to make it but we still had a really great time with everyone that was there. It was so nice to spend time with good friends while eating yummy food! Well except the garlic bread that I forgot about in the oven!!!! LOL... there's the Sanguine in me... Thank you to all that we're there, and for those that couldnt make it there will always be a next time! It's been sooooo nice finally having Robert home, I dont know how many times I've said that but it really is nice! The kids had a great time with their two little friends and they kept us laughing all night. After everyone left and I went to bed I realized I had not taken ANY pictures! I was so bummed it didnt even occur to me since I was just hanging out with everyone enjoying their company. Darn it! Thanks again for joining us and being there to welcome Robert home, you guys made it special and memorable.
