Aunt Harriet's Birthday Party

Today was Harriet's birthday (Sean's Aunt) so she invited the family over for a wonderful birthday meal! It was a beautiful day, so we took lots of pictures:

Papa and Ryan

Grammy brought Ryan this really cool ball - note that it matches his outfit (ha!)

Ryan had his own "Ryan-sized" chair - he carried it straight over to this little table and wanted to be pushed right up there so he could bang the table

Mommy and Ryan

Ed (Sean's dad's cousin) had a blast playing with Ryan ~ Ryan had us all laughing hysterically (see the video below!)

Ella is here!

One of my good friends from my online buddy group (July '05 Moms) just moved out here to Kansas from the D.C. area!

Jess, her husband, Bob, and their daughter, Ella now live about 10 minutes away.

Ella, as you would expect is also a July 2005 baby, born on July 5.

Ella and Ryan get along great - in fact Ella calls Ryan "Rhine"

Ready for school pictures!

Ryan had pictures at school today, so here he is waiting for Mommy and Daddy to finish getting ready.

Birds Part 2

Here are the rest of the "bird" pictures ~ as you can see we have a unique bird that has a very fuzzy tail....

Birds

We love watching birds, so I thought I would post some pictures of our latest visitors. Too bad it was a cloudy day, but we did get a few good ones.

all my pictures didn't upload, so I will post the second half tonight

Grammy and Papa

Grammy and Papa watched Ryan on Saturday so we could go see Dave Ramsey live! Here is a picture Grammy sent us of Ryan in his new fort.
