Happy Birthday Ryan!

Happy 2nd Birthday Ryan! We love you!



Here are some pictures from his birthday party:

Dentist

Riley and Ryan both went to the dentist yesterday. This dentist was so good with the kids, and both kids did a great job. They actually had a lot of fun...they didn't want to leave!





Riley getting her teeth cleaned

They gave her these sunglasses to wear...She thought she was pretty cool :)

Watching some cartoons on the big flatscreen T.V. they had in front of every chair

She was so brave and did such a great job!

Watching some cartoons

They gave Ryan this big dinosaur and toothbrush so he could practice brushing teeth!

Weekend Pictures

Riley and Ryan love to play with the trains at Barnes and Noble

Ryan thinks that anything that is scary is called Voldemort. When he was playing with the trains I asked him where Voldemort was and he pointed to the Thomas heads....I've always thought they were kinda scary looking too!

happy inauguration day :)

Words cannot even express how grateful we are that our little boy is healthy! Just thinking about the possibility that something may have been wrong was terrifying! Thank you to everyone for all your prayers and support! I feel like we have the best friends and family ever!

Just four months to go until we get to meet this cute little guy!

Chilly Day at the Zoo :)

Riley looking at the Tigers

Ryan liked watching the sharks in the aquarium

Riley had fun watching the penguins swim under the water

Casey tried to put Ryan on the elephant but Ryan was too chicken to get on

The kids had a fun time at the zoo even though it was a little cold. Ryan was so excited to see all of the animals. I think his favorite were the tigers. Riley said that her favorite part today was when we saw the seahorses and sea dragons.

Baby Boy!

Most of you probably already know this, but we found out last week that we are having a boy! We are really excited and can't wait to meet him! The ultrasound was really fun. He was moving a lot and both Riley and Ryan got to see him.

I think Riley may have been a little disappointed...I think she wanted a baby sister....when we told her that she was going to have a baby brother she told us that she "didn't want one"! I'm sure she will be really excited to have another brother once he is here!




foot



This one is one of my favorites: Both his little feet. So cute!

I think this may be one of the most obvious "money shots" I have ever seen. There's no mistaking this one's a boy!

Now we just need to decide on a name....I already had a girl's name picked out, but for some reason boy's names are so much harder for me!!

Christmas at home

After we got home from Utah, we had the kids open the presents that we didn't take with us to Utah.


Ryan and Riley got these cute little personalized suitcases from Grandma Taylor


Riley had fun helping Ginny open her present

I thought this picture was so funny....I can't even remember why she was pouting!

Christmas!

Utah has the best snow!

The kids had so much fun playing in the snow with Daddy
