Superbowl!

We took Ryan to his first Superbowl party on Sunday.  Our friend's Mark and Amber graciously had a bunch of people and all our kids over to watch the game.  Emmy had a ball with her buddies Eva and Ava.  Ryan was an angel just hanging out way past his bed time!

ping pong with Mark!

 Buddies

Ryan's new thing is to constantly stick out his tongue.  So cute :)

Disney on Ice!

Emmy and I went to Disney on Ice today.  It was all princesses we couldn't not go :)

On the way home I got a flat tire.  If it is not one thing it is another!  Fortunately, I got it ony a few blocks from the house so we just walked home.  Emmy didn't feel like wearing her Cinderella dress anymore so she walked home with no pants on :)

Who needs toys when you have a box!

What a week!

I have been down and out with a cold all week. Actually had 2 days at home alone and I couldn't even get out of bed. Dragged myself to the doctor and turns out I have a sinus infection and bronchitis. To top it all off I woke up this morning with pink eye! Nothing like crusty eyes in the morning while changing an explosion of a diaper. Emmy got pink eye from school and gave it to me. So I have spent  the whole day washing every pillow and case, sheets, blankets and disinfecting every handle, light switch, etc. Ugh.

On a brighter note Ryan cut his second tooth this week! And another one is coming! I guess it is a good thing he is getting teeth early I have a feeling he is going to want to eat lots of food soon!  He has turned into such a happy mellow baby who LOVES to snuggle :) Just hand him his blankie and he pops his thumb in his mouth and lays his head on your shoulder. So sweet. Just like his sister did :)

This Weekend

Was the BEST!  It was beautiful and warm all weekend and I had FOUR DAYS OFF!  During the month of January I am only working 4 days a week :)  I offered to continue to do my exact job in 4 days and take a pay cut but they only approved a 4 day work week for 30 days.  Surprising I know.  My quest to figure out how to work less hours continues...

Anyway, back to our weekend.  We hung out and relaxed, we cleaned the house, we wrestled, we took a beautiful hike, we painted pictures, we hung out at Mark and Anna's and we ate lots as always.  Here are a whole lot of pics.

We are on the orange veggies.  So far he has gobbled up homemade carrots, sweet potatoes and butternut squash!

First time trying out the double stroller :)

Beautiful day at the Cabrillo Monument!

Ryan ADORES Emmy

Don't mind my greasy, balding hair.  I don't remember loosing this much hair after I had Emmy but she also slept maybe that had something to do with it?!

He just keeps getting more and more handsome :)

 Emmy and Ava literally hid when it was time to leave.  Took 10 minutes to find them in the garage!

 Trying to put my little man in some of his cute clothes before he grows out of them!  Yup, this is a tight 6-12 month onesie :)

Today was a good day

Today was the first day I came home from work and Ryan wasn't a complete mess, he was happy! :)  He ate breakfast, lunch and two 7 oz bottles at daycare today and was a happy camper.  He even napped for an hour!  Wow.  His teachers think he was just really hungry!  It was such a relief to see that he can have some good days at daycare and we can still all enjoy our evenings together.  Last week was really hard to see him so upset at the end of the day, today gave me just a little bit of hope.
