February 17

Well, I would have put a Valentine post up, but, well, like Halloween...we missed Valentine's. I think we are destined to have the stomach bug for every "minor" holiday. The problem this time -- we didn't even know our little carrier monkey brought it home to us. What a shock when it reared it's ugly head...with BOTH of us!!!

These are from Tuesday night...when we are finally ALL feeling better and able to ingest some food.

Multitasking

Ryan showing Mike all about "Corduroy"

Ryan listening intently (yea right)...he looks like he is getting ready to cause some trouble here.



Ahhh, sweet, sweet BEDTIME!!!

birthday #3...and the last one

Today is the day for family birthdays!!!

Everyone is celebrating all the men in our family that turn a year older in January.

It was a great day and almost our whole family was in attendance.

The family celebrated Big Pop's birthday 2 weeks ago -- on the 18th. Big Pop turned 87!!

Brian, Ryan, and Weston all got in on the fun at this family birthday. 3 cakes, 3 times the calories...ugh...it is going to kill me. Can't wait until it is all out of the house! :)

Here are a few pics from Sunday's Family birthday party.

Zebra from Gigi and Pop...SO FUN!

Opening lots of books from Mimi and Doc...I LOVE books!

For some reason the 35 yr old pull-dog steals the day...and Ryan's attention.

Ryan is getting so good at this cake thing. He is going to think a cake is necessary every week!

Flying Baby...gotta get to the rest of my cake!!
