Ryan's 3rd Birthday Party

Day three of celebrating for Ryan continued on February 16th, 2013 with a big ole' party with all his cute little friends (and their siblings).  We had a hosue full and a ton of fun.  We decided this year to have an early party and do a pancake breakfast.  So - at 9:30 everyone came over for breakfast, then the kids did some coloring and playing, then we opened presents and more playing - and then everyone had cake!  Yes - we sent them home very sugared up!!  HA!

As you can see, we had a giraffe theme this year.  The cupcakes and cake were so easy to make and a ton of fun.  I enjoyed decorating and making treat bags for our gests as well.

here are most of our guests - we had a housefull!

Hank made each kid initial pancakes.  Ryan has the coolest dad to all the 2 and 3 year olds we know!

 

 

Sorry it's been so long since we blogged.  January just flew by and both boys had off and on sicknesses and Hank was gone a lot.  We also took a weened trip to Savnnah (just the two of us!) for a conference and Grandma and Papaw came for a visit to stay with the boys.  February  started and now it's almost over.  It seems we just celebrated our little Ryan for the entire month!  And to end the party, Jacob got a bad ear infection so we spent our day off from school on President's Day at the doctor's office getting meds.  He is feeling much better now.  I think you are caught up!  On to spring...

Ryan's Third Birthday!

On Ryan's actual birthday we made giraffe cupcakes for him.  He loves giraffes so these were a ton of fun to make

He enjoyed helping us make them and here he is showing off his birthday shirt made for him by mommy

Valentines Day 2013

Catching up on the blog - post 1 - Valentines Day (also known as Ryan's Birthday!).  These were some really cute treat ideas I found on Pinterest.  The goldfish ones were for Ryan's class and Jacob's class got Sweedish Fish

spring shirts for the boys

The boys are growing and the need new shirts :)  This one is for Ryan's birthday :)

Ryan loves giraffes so this one is his favorite and he wants to wear it EVERY day!

I got a little carried away I guess :)

Have more shirts to make for Jacob - but finished these two

 

Boys new room!

So hard to get a good picture and we still have the bookcase to paint, but this used to be our very boring guest room/Ryan's room.  Now the boy shave room for all their toys and all their clothes in one room!  YAY - and we have a real guest room now.  It's small - but it does the trick.   Once we ge the bookcase done and try to figure out the lighting to take a decent picture, we will post one.

really late Christmas blog

Finally getting pictures off the camera.  They all need some editing, but here's a few highlights.. 
Ryan was all about makikng cookies :)

Oh well. January flew by!  Hank and I went to Savannah for a few days for his conference and my folks came to stay with the boys.  We had a great time all around..Not much else went on in January - now on to February to celebrate Ryan's 3rd Birthday!!!
