GETTING SO BIG!!

It's been a while so just wanted to post some pictures of the kids. They are growing up way too fast. Tuesday night we took Eric to Kindergarten Round-Up...can't believe he will be starting school this fall. :( We think he really enjoyed it and will love school! He especially loved riding on the school bus! ...Still has the same smell as when we were kids!
Both Eric and Ryleigh have a pretty bad cold so they look extra cute in these pictures! You can see around Eric's nose and cheeks that he has a cold! And Ryleigh just snots everywhere! She is always blowing bubbles out of her nose! She drools A LOT too! We don't know if she's teething or if its part of the cold??? She sure is cranky...but she's had this cold for well over a month now and we are considering taking her in for the 3rd time. They just keep telling us it takes babies a while to get rid of colds but this is a nasty one and she is miserable. (The original cold was going away but is back and really nasty.)
Anyway...Enjoy the many many pics.!

She really loves Eric and Alex!

I can't believe she is getting so big!

She wears these cute little outfits almost everyday!

He posed this way...guess its his "stud" look??

SO BIG!

Loves her "chew toys"!!

Happy Birthday Andy!!

So here are a million pictures of Andy's big day!! He turned 28 today!!

I got up early and got Andy his Birthday Burger King breakfast! Crown too!!

SURPRISE DADDY!!! Andy just getting home from work.

Poor Alex not feeling well but keeping Mommy company while fixing supper.

Groovin with the music on the radio! A cold can't stop her moves!

Trying something new! Gyros...Andy said they were good but the smell made me sick so...

Attack of the balloons!! Over 60 of them! WHEW!

Trying to be tough but its not fun...

Andy trying out his present...Wii American Idol...so much fun!!

Alex gets her groovin moves from her Daddy!

Holy crud! 28 candles really do make smoke when blown out! SERIOUSLY!

" Better than ANYTHING cake"

Trying out the cool present from Auntie Becki!!

So not really sure what I'm doing wrong with the blog. Sorry for the big gaps between each picture.

I hope Andy had a good Birthday?!?!? We had fun blowing up the balloons and wrapping presents. It was fun to surprise Daddy! I don't know what happened with his surprise dinner. He said the Gyros were good but was he just trying to make me feel better?? I got really sick (head between my knees sick to my stomach) while cooking the meat. It just didn't agree with me I guess...so I didn't get to eat it. We've had so much fun tonight playing the American Idol Wii game. Andy has a very good voice!! Me...not so much!! But its a blast!!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY ANDY!!!

Holy long post!

So here is another long post since I don't blog very often.
These first pictures are from my parents house Christmas Eve. They started a tradition of a pie eating contest each year. Since Andy isn't a fan of chocolate pie I was the one who did it for our family. I USED to love chocolate pie...not so much anymore!!

My oldest brother started off by shoving my face into the pie! I had chocolate pudding up my nose...GROSS!!

This brother thought he was going to win. HA! maybe next year!!

Face full of pie! YUM!

Sharing my pie with my brother in law!! (I was cheating but he was winning!! I had no other choice!) He almost puked when I did that!!

Compared to my face I don't think Lisa tried very hard to win!!

I took 3rd place! I was giggling so hard I had no chance of winning! My brother in law that I shared my pie with won 1st place and my cousin took 2nd...neither one of them laughed throughout the whole thing! Took winning very seriously I guess! :)


My BEAUTIFUL Lisa!! So glad she is home now!!

Ryleigh loving her baby!!

New Years Eve-playing the Wii...Eric loving BJ's hat!

Silly kids!

She is getting SO BIG!!

She did it!!!

So because the three kids are always running around like crazy 2 and 4 year olds Ryleigh doesn't get much floor time. While the kids were eating breakfast I put her on the floor for a few minutes and noticed she kept laying on her side. So I thought I should snap a picture for Andy because it's a first for her and its exciting!! Then this is what she did!! I was so glad I had the camera in my hand so Andy can see it happen too!!

I think she was pretty surprised that she ROLLED OVER but then was pretty pleased with herself!! She is getting SO BIG!!

Here are a million pictures of the kids! I can share the "Christmas picture" ones with you because Andy didn't like their outfits so we aren't using them for our Christmas cards. I thought the kids looked adorable but he said Alex's dress looked like something his sisters would have worn when they were little and I don't think he liked Ryleigh's either! OH-WELL!! We redid the pictures this morning and he is right, they do look better in matching jeans and shirts he went out and bought them last night! I'm just glad for his help in it this year!!







Looks like Eric has a little surprise in his nose! Don't know what that was!

Our tiny little Christmas tree!!

Smiling!! I LOVE her smiles!!
