Ryan Turns THREE!

Our little guy had a wonderful birthday party with the family. He got lots of cool toys, and even shared his amazing pickup truck cake with everyone. Way to go RY!

I gotta feeling

In case you wanted to see a four minute video of our kids spinning in circles to a Black Eyed Peas song, here you go:

Ryan's First Day of School!

I think Ryan was ready, like he'd been training his whole life. He had his bag, he was excited, and he knew how to find the truck toys right away. Mom even held it together until the head teacher asked how it went on the way out of class, and Kara cried "He's not ready!!!" Ryan though did great!

Charlotte's First Letter to Me

Charlotte wrote her first letter to me... all on her own. Best letter ever, but very formal!

Swim class!

Charlotte and Ryan are LOVING their weekly swimming classes with their awesome teacher Katie.

Let's Roll

I took the kids bowling last Friday when Doni had a day off, and we had a blast. We threw some bowling balls, ate a pretzel, (one of us had a beer), and even heard their two favorite songs over the alley sound system, Blue Moon and Margaritaville... perhaps that inspired some singing later on that weekend?

Here's Charlotte throwing rocks (literally)...



And Ryan adds his own stylish Bowling Ball Dance...

The Wood Band 2009

It appears that our two kids have an aptitude for music! Here they are singing the classic Jimmy Buffet song, Margaritaville. Note the genius lyrics at the end.



And another one of their favorites, Blue Moon.
