Happy Birthday Bennett!!

Ryans very good friend Bennett celebrated her 2nd Birthday today! Ryan was very excited to celebrate with her...and even more excited that it was an Elmo party!

The party got started with some "jump jumping" in a giant Elmo bouncer! But mommy didn't get any good pictures (oops). Then he enjoyed playing outside, dancing, and chasing bubbles.

And of course, the best part-cake! He enjoyed his Elmo cupcake (as you can see)...and when he was done, he wandered on over and tried to steal Olivia's!

All in all he had a great day! Happy Birthday Bennett!!


And on a random note...we live about 40 minutes from Bennetts house and I was trying to keep Ryan awake for the ride home so that he would still nap. So, I handed him the Toys R Us catalog. Not only did it keep him busy the entire ride home but he kept saying "mommy Ryan want that"...well actually- "mommy Ian ant dat" :) Of course, I had to take a picture.

Surprise from Grandpa & Grandma

Just when Ryan didn't think his day could get any better...he woke up from his nap and found a new train table in his playroom (courtesy of Grandpa & Grandma)!! He just looked at it, smiled and immediately got to playing. I knew he was going to like it, but he LOVES it (his daddy does too)! Thank you Grandma & Grandpa, Ryan can't wait to play

"Tee-Tees" with you on Friday!

Shopping Spree!

Thanks to Ryan's Aunts & Uncles he got to go to Toys R Us on a birthday shopping spree today! He picked out about 200 toys that he liked, but he settled on a playdoh table, lots & lots of playdoh & tools, a bop bag & a few other little things. Thank you Aunt Lynn, Uncle Rick, Aunt Pam & Uncle Paul! Ryan had a blast picking out his own birthday gifts!

Happy Halloween!

Ryan went Trick or Treating with his friends Bennett, Landon & Sophia. They made quite a cute little team! Ryan did very well with his first halloween experience. I spent all day trying to get him to say Trick or Treat, but instead he just says "please". We went from house to house getting treats and each time he looked in his bucket and then said "more"! I guess its acceptable because he's two...and cute! :)

Another Halloween Playdate

Ryan got to go to another Halloween Playdate this morning. I only remembered to take a couple of pictures. Ryan spent most of the time with Bennetts baby, I think he's trying to tell me something ;)

A short "dance" video...

After everyone left- Bennett, Ryan & Alexander decided to wind down and watch a little Mickey Mouse Clubhouse

Jonquil Festival

We went to the Jonquil Festival in Smyrna today. Ryan fell asleep on the way so he was in NO mood for it. We didn't stay very long per Ryan's request...but he and daddy took a little time out for some bonding.

Trick or Treat!

Ryan had a very busy today! He started off jumping at Monkey Joe's this morning at his friend Sophia's birthday. He had a blast! But, mommy forgot the camera!
Happy 2nd Birthday Miss Sophia!!!

Then we headed off to Trick or Treat! The very first store that we stopped at gave Ryan a pop and then he didn't care if he got anything else, he was content with his one pop.





Then he met up with his best skunk friend (Gavin!) for a little trick or treating and hanging out by the fountain.


Getting some candy with One Very Proud Papa

Soon we came across this very adorable puppy...aka Baby Alexander, Ryans other very good friend :)

And then he spent some quality time with Bennett & Landon, all of them looking VERY cute in their costumes






Needless to say, Ry had a great day! I'm sure it'll be a good nights sleep tonight!
