Sawyer

We watched the sweetest 8 month old in the country this week- Sawyer. She slept through the nights and didn't mind traveling to all our busy events. Made the baby fever even more real. Speaking of fever I think I have strep (again). Going to the doctor today to find out for sure. Bring on the meds.

I would say I was 100% obsessed with her followed closely by Ryan. He even woke up at 5:30 in the morning when she woke up and he said "don't worry mom, I'll take care of her, you go back to sleep".

Easter and 1 7 days

If this post sounds like an insane person wrote it, it is probably because I have lost all sanity with this never ending 17 day Spring Break. We have gone to Monkey Business (a bounce house place), the rec center pool (Ryan "forgot how to swim" after his first cannon ball of the season and I had to jump in and get him), Castle Rock 200 step challenge (again), multiple parks, Sky Zone (a trampoline park) and millions of other dollars spent at Toys R Us, restaurants and candy stores. Mama needs a break. I said my life is sad as I can't wait for Monday to hit the gym BY MY SELF and zone out on the treadmill. Haven't worked out in over 2 months as my broken finger pretty much stopped all everything. But it isn't broke any more and this lady is ready to get back into routine!

Remember when they were babies in that whale tub? Getting too old :(

Amateurs

Throughout our first year as school aged parents I find myself realizing we are amateurs here. Spring break is 17 days long and we are going absolutely nowhere. Already told Ray start saving now for SB17 cause it's gonna be a big one! Never again will I stay home for 17 days straight to be the cleaning lady, chef and playmate to thesw hooligans.

On a completely different note I've watched two babies this week to help friends out. If I wasn't baby crazy before then I don't even know what I am now. I watched baby Cash for 3 hours and took 34 pictures on my phone and 3 videos.

My sister in law Kerry has us on high alert. She's 27 weeks pregnant with her second kiddo and at the hospital with preeclampsia. I don't know Gods plan here but it is SCARY! Keep growing little guy. I pray that the medicine keeps Kerry healthy and pregnant for MANY more days. 

200 step challenge

We did it

Sunny days

Happy wife happy life.

Today Ryab had a play date with Connors girlfriend's (Emma) brother Landon. Then we went to the park with a MOPS family.

Connor this weekend at Keystone.

After 3 lessons he was ready to go with Dad!

PT

4 weeks later

Today I started physical therapy for my index finger. My trainer asked me what I thought PT stood for; I said pain tolerance he said no pain and torture....great.

This morning the specialist had x-rays taken the bone is still broken but I was worried about a different part of my hand now being broken and that is not the case. The physical therapist is worried about some nerves and tendons in my arm but nothing that physical therapy can't help. #flashbacksto2008 

Forgot how much work and pain PT is.

So I'm not wearing the splint anymore even though it's still broken as the doctor wants to start getting the swelling down.

Presidents Day

The last five days have been about 50 and the next 15 days are going to be above 60! 

Today I took the boys to the Denver aquarium.  For Christmas uncle Travis got Ryan A book about fish and Ryan has been intently looking at it for weeks. It was really cool seeing all the fish at the aquarium and knowing what they were because we've read about it day after day. 

After the aquarium we were able to stop by my friend Julie's (my college roommate). 

This weekend Ryan asked his friend Sommer to marry him.

He used all of his Valentine's Day money from grandma and grandpa to buy her a ring and a princess crown.

100 days

Apparently the one hundredth day of kindergarten is a big deal. We made it. To celebrate Miss Lee had the children dress up as their 100-year-old self.
