What's wrong with this picture?

His dad got him dressed for the day... it's November and a chilly day. And the top and bottoms definitely don't match... even I knew this! Oh yeah, white shoes after labor is a big no no. Don't ask me why.

Need I say more?

The rally was amazing! It extended down Sunrise from Highway 50 to Highway 80. I've never done anything like this. Ryan and I drove from Greenback to 50 and couldn't believe how many people we saw.. in the rain... in the cold. Oh it gave me chills (not because I was cold). We saw Ryans dad and decided to get out for a bit and fight for the cause. It was sooooo fun!

Shoes

Thanks lil' Ryry for keeping my feet covered.

No longer hard hats required... shoes required

This kid is so funny. He went all the way down the hallway to bring me my shoes (I did not ask for them) and if you've been to my house, you know its not a short hallway. Then he proceeds to put them on me. I promise he is ALL boy, except for this one minor thing, he is obsessed with shoes. The only time he sits still for me is to let me put his shoes on. I am grateful for that ;)

My Ryans

I thought I would show you how cute my Ryans are... in case you didn't already know.

The best afternoon of my life!!

Baby Ryan all snuggled up on his blanket and bumper.

Tayton curled up in the pack n play.

Keaton all cozy on my bed.

And Elle sprawled on the recliner.

Did this really happen??? to me?? Wow, what did I do to deserve this? I had three EXTRA little ones today, 4 total with my lil' Ryan and they ALL slept at the same time!!! I was even brave/stupid enough to go in each room and take a pic of the sleeping little tikes.

You don't have to ask twice how my day went :)

Hangin' with the Cadle Clan....

Thanks Melanie for having us over for pudding art. I don't think Ryan quite got the concept so we'll wait til he's a little older for next time :) (I had to do all the work, including the feeding and mess!)

"We are the three amigos, and amigos we'll always be"

Dusty Bottoms, Ned Nederlander and Lucky Day

I was sick a couple months ago for two weeks. I caught some kind of crazy cold, felt sick and tired from being pregnant and to top it off I got in a car accident all in the same weekend. So, from being down for so long I watched a handful of movies, including one of my all time favorites since I was super young "The Three Amigos" Halfway through the movie it hit me, "there are three in our family this year. This is what we should be for Halloween." I set out to every store in town I could think of that might have something like this... Wal-mart, target, K-mart, Evangelines in Old Town Sac. Finally, I had to settle with going to the DI and making these bad boy costumes all on my own. It was a lot of work, but I think it was well worth it. Every time I look at these I just laugh because it sends a flood of one liners from the movie to my mind. Hilarious show. If you haven't seen it, please tell me and I will gladly let you borrow it. If you are out of town, then you need to go buy it. LOL it is soooo funny! I think it ended up costing me about 80 bucks for all three costumes... not bad huh? We even won our ward costume contest for best family costume. The 5 dollar gift card to Sonic was worth all those back breaking hours I put in to these bad boys. Enjoy!

This one's for Aunt Chelsea

My younger sister, Chelsea, used to suck her thumb and play with her ear. She would also play with other peoples ears. I have a pic of us in bed together spooning (come on people, we were very young) Anyway, she was behind me and had her thumb in her mouth and her other hand rubbin' on my ear. I'll have to find it and scan it for you all to see.

John's Incredible Pizza

John's Pizza has a little GATED play area for smaller kids! Love it! Lil' Ryan loved it and we didn't have to worry about him too much, with his climbing skills and ability to get himself into trouble.

Twelve weeks pregnant, looking nice! I am not looking forward to the days of blowing up. I couldn't pass up an opportunity to eat at a buffet :)

I don't know if we just look tired, or just tired!?

Ryan caught doing things he shouldn't be doing... again!

This is definitely a daily routine. It's a matter of whether I feel like whipping out the camera or not. The look of "oops, I'm stuck" does not stop him from doing it all over again, once I help him down.

The California State Fair

He loves animals, so the petting zoo was a big hit! Watch out for the deer... they eat your shirts!

Ryan loved the bead necklaces they were handing out during their parade. I think it was 104 that day!We went to the fair on the absolute hottest day it was open. You see, this was part of our plan in hopes that no one else would be there. I think it worked!! I came prepared with lots of water. Every once in awhile we would dump water over the baby, notice his awesome hair do lol


He didn't love it, but he didn't hate it!

His dad leaves his clothes out one day and the kids grabs it and brings it to me to put it on him. He loved wearing it until he tried to walk. Yes, that is his dads sock in the background. This is not the norm around our house... to have clothes just hanging around.

Caught doing things he shouldn't be doing.

I just laugh all day long!

Ryan's First Birthday!!!

Just a few days before Ryan turned one he started putting on other peoples shoes. Now he will even bring me his own to put on him. And.... he doesn't fight me anymore when getting him dressed. I love it!
Nana helped Ryan blow out his candle and helped keep his little paws away from the flame.
He used his fingers to lick most of the frosting off before diving into his apple spice cake with cream cheese frosting.
I'm tellin' ya, this kid is all boy!
