long time no blog!

Let's see...at 3 years old Ryan is 38 inches tall and 34 pounds. He is playing soccer this spring and loving it. First game is this Saturday and we're so excited to see how it goes! First team picture is this weekend, too. This weekend was spent purchasing and building Ryan's new swing set! The boy is in heaven!! Looking forward to a relaxing Mother's Day weekend.

more pics

So, I'm not doing very well on my photo a day, and it is only January! I have a long 11 more months to go...we'll see. But here are a few recent faves.

We got snowed in on January 28! 12.5" of snow - wow! Ryan had to walk out to make sure his sand box was okay. ;-)


Helping daddy shovel out the dogs.


First meal on the new stove - the infamous "chicken meal!"


Oh, and cupcakes, of course.

Fun in the DinoSphere at the Children's Museum!

Checking out the trains.

Ry refused to meet Batman, but I snuck a cool pic!

Loving the bulldozer.

We can't wait to go back soon to check out the Legos exhibit that opened today!

wow, i used to have really long hair

I'm not claiming these pictures are GOOD pictures of me, but man I miss my hair. This is what I am trying to get back to (only with my college body, too). And the next time you hear me say I'm thinking of going chin length again, SOMEBODY PLEASE STOP ME!

frosty the snowman!

raffle for a good cause

Need a new camera, camera bag, or camera strap, and have an extra $5 floating around? If so, you will definitely want to check out this post. You can also check it out if you are just a nice person and want to help a family finance the adoption of a little baby. :-)
