Texas Memories 2014

We took a family vacation to Texas last summer.  Instead of trying to post all the highlight pictures, here's a link to the photo book we made. Check it out!

Kids Say the Darndest Things.

I've been keeping track of all the funny things Ryan has said over the past several months. If you are following me on Facebook there's a good chance you've already read most of these.  Enjoy!
 

• Fall of 2014 – After using the bathroom Ryan asks Craig, “Do you have to wash your hands after you pee standing up?
• When he wants mom’s attention he’ll call out “Cindy!” and when he doesn’t get a response right away he’ll then call out, “Cindy Mulcahy!
• Ryan decided that he was getting big enough to use the glass plates vs the kid plastic ones, he calls them 4-year old plates.
• Ryan calls making his bed, “building his bed.”
• I overheard Ryan grumbling under his breath, “no one in this house listens to me!”
• Jan. 2015 - While putting Ryan to bed one night, he asks me to stay and lay with him. Me: I have to finishing cleaning up the house.
  Ryan: No you don't, you just have to teach dad, he doesn't know how.
• Small people go in time out, big people jail.

Do you copy?

So I'm almost caught up. I've gotten everything updated through June. If you are on FB, chances are you've seen all of this already.But it has me wondering, how many people are reading this blog?  So, do me a favor, email me so I know who is all following this. If it is all Facebook friends I might take this blog off my to-do list. 

Thanks!

June Birthdays

We celebrated Drew and Matt's birthday with friends and family. 

We stopped at Famous Dave's for their Birthday Sunday, all 3 dug right in.

 

Matt had friends over for a back yard party.

Matt was "encouraged" to ask for donations to the food shelf in lieu of gifts.

7 years old!

9 years!

 

Drew also took some friends to the movies and for ice cream but a photo is not available, er, wasn't taken.

Mr. Big Time

Ryan has moved up to 2 wheels (plus training wheels). He's very proud of his "biggest tallest bike" as he calls it. And in keeping with his personality, he has no fear and will go as fast as he can.

A Warm Welcome

Sometimes you need to leave to be missed. I went on a quick over night trip for a friends birthday party. When I got home, this was what was waiting for me.

Spring Sports

This spring Matt played baseball, his team was the Brewers. On our last trip to WI, we had to purchase a few extra Brewer shirts while in the state. He absolutely loves baseball!



While Matt was on the baseball diamond, Drew was in the soccer field this spring.  During one game, Drew started to kick the ball in the wrong direction so I yelled, "Drew you are going the wrong way!" then he yelled back, "I know!" I always wondered if kids can hear you yelling from the side-lines. I got my answer that day.
