was at walmart today and was looking at cameras-ry asked why and i told him because mine was broken

he replied, "mom call handy manny he will fix it!"

We went to get ice cream tonight and this was jared and ryan's conversation

Jared:  Ry are you a nice boy or a mean boy?

Ryan:  I am charming!!!

 

oh boy we are in trouble, he'll charm the pants right off of you!

the other day my friend Maria invited us to go swimming with

her at the YMCA, the kids had a blast and the water wasn't TOO cold.

i was shocked though too see how timid Ry was of the water, in the last year he has developed fear!!!

Liney enjoyed the water, but was a little cold!

Caroline and Larson splashing together.

thanks maria for taking us!

attack, attack

snuggle buddies

the other day ryan found some ear buds and went to ask Mimi to put them on for him

RYAN: mimi will you please put in my ear songs?
MIMI: sure ry, 
once they are on his ears she starts to hum La Cucaracha
RYAN:(loudly as if music were really playing) NO MIMI NO MIMI thats the wrong song!!!!

Saturday we had a great evening at the park flying kites and "pishing" with our "catching poles" as Ryan would say!

ry's first pish of the day!!

 second fish of the day!

Now on to the kite flying.....

 

Tinkerbell was a fabulous kite and the kids loved her!! 

giving scott some lovin'

the binkie brigade march 1, 2, 3, 4, keep it up 2,3,4.....

 

my big walking girl!!!

They love each other don't they!!!

 

What a fun day we had a Friday!!!  We went to the museum and the zoo!!

Mimi was the COOL grandma who actually play with the kids while others looked on with disgust that people were really getting wet at the water works table!!!

Caroline is never far from the food!!!

                                                                                         

swinging in the water fountain in front of the museum!!

playing in the water is so much fun!!

 

ry snagged a pair of the 3-D glasses from one of the movies, they really helped block the sun! 

now on to the zoo(which is really where we started the day) did anyone ever tell you that getting four kids under 3 to hold still all at the same time is NEARLY IMPOSSIBLE  

by far my favorite picture of the day-they are all standing still-kinda- 

two big girls, it seems now that Caroline and reese aren't to far apart now days since caroline is now walking! 

 again the four kids holding still problem!!

caroline LOVED this snake and the snake loved caroline!!

 it was a great day and the kids went to bed as soon as we got home!!!  that's what we call a success!!

on thursday we went to the Heard Museum in Mckinney with the kids while mom and scott went shopping for new clothes.  the kids loved the freedom to run around and the forest to play in.

in most pictures ry is just a blur or shoulders or a corner of a head!!

a little dino digging!!

do you see that tiny baby lemur monkey????

my Liney Girl

these two love eachother and have a great time together!!

Scottie is HOME!!!!!  Scott just home from his two year mission for our church!!  It was awesome to see him again and see how much he has changed and grown!!!!

A big embrace for daddy!!  I think there were tears involved!

seeing scotter bug for the first time, just off the plane!!

just finishing up lunch at Spring Creek, 

it has been so fun spending the week with Scott and getting to know him again.  The kids all love him and want to do everything with him!
