"PB" Minus the "J" Sandwich

Yesterday afternoon Ryan had her first peanut butter sandwich (no jelly yet). She LOVED it!! It was a great afternoon snack and obviously she was a little messy, but that's the funnest part, right?

A Collection...

Tonight I was uploading pictures of Ryan over the last few weeks...what fun we've had this summer! We've enjoyed dinner with our friends Danny & Sherri and eating a lemon, playing with Bronson (and the bubble machine along with a puppy), and fun times with Grammie & PawPaw! Yes, PawPaw and Ryan enjoyed getting their toes wet!

"Only You"

Little Bigs loves reading her books and tonight we captured her enjoying her book titled "Only You". Fridge magnets, her new favorite thing (besides opening/closing doors) is pulling the fridge magnets off and trying to put them back on. It's really cute...and then off to bed...

Wednesday...

Today was a fabulous day with sweet Ryan. There are just those moments where I sit back and am amazed that she can be so fun, cute, funny, chunky, and entertaining. It's as if every little thing she does is worth capturing and yet there is no way of doing so. Today, I simply sat back and enjoyed watching her crawl around, open and shut doors (her new thing), and shake her head everytime she heard music! Such a doll...so, here is a few pictures of her sweetness. Look at how serious she is...too funny!

Chick Dress

Last weekend while at my parents, my mom and I went through a few of my baby clothes that she'd been keeping for my children. My mom informed me that my grandmother, Nanner, and my Aunt Rebecca made us a few outfits and dresses. So this is one! Thanks Aunt Rebecca!! The outfits are still being used and are much treasured!! Anyway, I wanted to go to the park to capture a few pictures of Miss Ryan Elizabeth in mommy's baby dress. As you can see in the last two pictures, by the end of the photo shoot she was all done!

Ryan's 11 months!

Our Little Bigs is getting bigger! In just a few weeks (August 6th) we will be celebrating her 1 year b-day...and oh how the planning has begun. In the meantime, here are a few pictures and video of our sweet Little Bigs around the house, playing with daddy, with the horse at PFChangs, and a fun video of her dancing while her favorite toy Violet sings her some songs! She's such a joy in our lives and daily we are ever so thankful for her presence!

Scrub-a-dub in the tub...

Ryan absolutely loves bath time and now that she's an expert crawler there is no limit to where she goes...even if in the tub! She's discovered how to drain the tub and just recently saw her reflection too!

Kris' Birthday Celebrations!

Well, it has been a long time since I've updated our family blog. There has been so many birthday parties that it's been a little busy around here! For Kris we had family and friends over to celebrate his 35th b-day. Kris' dad smoked several different meats and of course we had delicious cake and ice cream. On June 10th, his actual b-day, Ryan and I went up to his office to celebrate and for dinner we went and ate pizza with Justin and Alissa. Here are a few pictures of our time together celebrating Kristo-B! Happy Birthday!!
