Ry's Trim

Well, we posted Charlotte's first haircut, so we should probably share Ryan's. Nothing like a yellow car and a tiger, and a toy train, dinosaur, and race car, to keep a boy distracted long enough to get his mop chopped.

Two Peas

Well, it's more like a princess and a pea, than two peas in a pod... Charlotte hardly takes off her Snow White costume these days, unless it's to put on her Princess Jazmine costume. She loves playing with her little pea Ry though.

Sometimes though, when your brother keeps grabbing your mermaid toys, it's good to get off the floor. We can all understand that.

Barkley baby!

We are so excited to have Barkley come and live with us. Right now she is still having fun napping with her sisters and brothers but in a couple weeks she will have to venture out on her own!

Mr Mom

On Saturday, Dad amazes the kids with his SUPER FUN day at Bellevue Square!
(wow Dad, is that all you can think of to do?)
He becomes more and more impressed as the day goes on with single parents.

When Mom's Away...

Charlotte and Ryan were in charge of taking care of their dad BY THEMSELVES while mommy was in San Francisco for work (and some fun) for a few days. They were VERY good to him, and made sure he behaved.

Though on Friday night they did bring in some reinforcements... Uncle Nate and Cousin Connor were there to help out!

Aunt Mela also helped Nate and Connor out to make sure Dad was fed and taken care of.

Fun Times with Doni

Doni and Ry Ry had a GREAT time at the Children's Museum recently...

In case you haven't heared, Ry Ry LOVES TRUCKS!

... and Charlotte and Doni had a special girls night out (meaning Charlotte's Parent's did too!) which included ICE CREAM! Fun Fun Fun!

Our Little Mermaid

Grandma Mary Nana visited this past weekend for Ryan's birthday, and she also had a very special gift for the girl of the house... Yes, you guessed it, a MERMAID CERTIFICATION BOOK! Everything you need to know and wear and do to become a Mermaid. It even has a certification of completion if you can pass all of the sections. After about 2 hours of dressing, hair combing, and even Mermaid swimming practice, we are proud to announce that Charlotte graduated Mermaid School!

Here she is all Mermaided out and ready to roll. The shades really make the outfit if you ask me.

After a morning of Mermaid instruction, Nana had to grab a bite with Ryan.
