2 top teeth

Not only does Ryan have his bottom 2 teeth but now the second top tooth has cut out of his gum. Looks painful but as always Ryan maintains an even keel temper.

When your baby is old enough to take a bath in the big bathtub and you can wash them at the same time it is so. much. easier! Ryan likes to splash Connor and Connor for the moment thinks it is funny.

Pin Wheels

Connor is getting so big! His teacher Ms. Beth told me at his 2 year old report card time "there is a big difference between a 2 yr old and a 2.5 year old." She really was right. He now understands just about anything and knows his shapes, colors how to count to eleventeen and is very independent with a big imagination. I must say I have a pretty harsh vocabulary...really need to watch what we say in front of him because we have realized he is always listening.

**Didn't realize in my garage door panel post the picture didn't post. Picture is added now. (today i synched my iphone to the garage door so now I can open it with me phone)

baby blues

I wonder where Ryan get's his blue eyes from??

I think, I know I am annoying Ray today with all my "Ray" then having him look at the kids all day. I just can't get enough of the two of them. Their faces, mannerisims, Ryan's interest in Connor. I love them so. Today we took them to the Aquarium, very Awesome! Ryan even got into it which we were not expecting. The only reason I wouldn't recommend going to the Newport Aquarium would be that with parking it cost $64 and that does not include the ice cream we got afterwards. www.mint.com will not like that "expense" but it was worth it for the experience.

Things that are excittng when you are 30

Garage door openers and panels! The new motor is so quiet! The panels are insulated! The motor is synced up to our smart phones and we can open or shut the garage door and a light in our house even if we are at Lake Okoboji! This also means when Ray comes in late night from golf league he isn't waking the kids (or me) up when the garage door goes up.

Playday Wednesday

We meet at the halfway point between Beavercreek and West Chester which just so happens to be my old stomping grounds...Springboro. We played at North Park and had lunch at the K&W. The 6 Moorman/Passage kids all were awesome, I couldn't have even tell they were with us at lunch....seriously, they were AWESOME! (Kaylee may have peed her pants and onto the floor but they still were AWESOME in the mom book).
Not pictured is 3 week old Charley. Liz why didn't you want the "big kids" to hold her, they did such a good job with the 8 month olds.

Summer fun

Seems like summer on beautiful days like today. Grandma Pat got the boys Lego's for Easter and Connor thoroughly likes building towers and Ryan enjoys eating them. Today we noticed Ryan got one of his top teeth. Also on the topic of Ryan all he wants to do is stand. He can pull himself up on anything and if you sit him back down he will cry. If he is not walking by his 1st birthday I would be shocked.

8 months old

Ryan John is 8 months old today! He went with Big Brother to the Dr. today (Connor had his 2.5 yr appt).
Connor weighted 27lbs and Ryan 20lbs.
He really likes to stand and hold hands and jump around. He is at the age where he knows if he lost a toy...and he gets sad or if someone he doesn't know is holding him he gets sad.
My parents were laughing at how Ryan just sees the camera and smiles. Today the Dr gave him a once over and I'm glad she did. She said he had a double ear infection. What? The kid that is always happy? I felt horrible but when he is always happy hard to know anything was wrong.

Easter

I think Connor is too young for the real Easter story so I told him it was Jesus' birthday. Ray said, "Jill, don't teach him that" but whatever.
Holiday's are always more fun with family. Grandma, Grampi, The Camera's and Travis and Cynthia were all here for the days Easter Egg Hunt and dinner.
Connor and Isabella were on a nice sugar high from Jelly Beans.

It actually is a bubble wand but don't tell Connor that. We have been super busy. Ray last weekend was in Gaitlinburg for Travis' bachelor party and he weekly now has golf league. With Ryan mobile it has made for one tired Mama. Thanks to all the help from friends I've been getting...literally couldn't do it with out you!

Emma Clare

Yay Aunt Jill finally got to talk to Kerry today! No big surprise they are doing awesome and are parenting pro's. Look how cute. Her hair looks more red then Ryan's did :)

New Mommies

Ray's sister Kerry just had her first baby this week...we are now Aunt & Uncle! Can't wait to see pictures of baby Emma Clare!
Yesterday on my day off great friend brought over baby girl Charley to meet the boys.
Why do I not remember my baby's being this small?

Easter Party

Well first we started off by going half an hour too early so we had to leave...which made Connor cry and be confussed. Then we took him to the park to stall, then had to leave after 20 minutes....which made Connor cry....then we enjoyed the party. Connor said it was his birthday party and made us sing him Happy Birthday, and when I sang "happy birthday Eater Bunny" that made him mad and cry.
