Aggies vs. Longhorns

Chris and I were very lucky to get to go to this game. Tim, Chris' brother, called the night before the game with 2 free tickets. So we called Nana and Papo to babysit, packed up Thanksgiving morning and drove to El Campo to drop the boys off, and then headed to College Station. It was an awesome game even though we lost the game, we always win at half time. Here is a pic of Nana and the boys at home watching the game.

Ryan is 2

Wow, where did the time go. I can't believe that Ryan is already 2. This past year has been a busy year. With a new baby on the way, we tried to spend as much time as possible doing special things with Ryan. We have enjoyed watching him grow into such a little boy this year. His vocabulary just amazes me. This past year we accomplished some goals and some we are still working on. At 18 months we moved from a crib to a toddler bed. He was so excited. He likes to be treated as a big boy. I had feared that by putting him in a toddler bed, he would think that he could come to our bed. But he didn't and would sleep there all night. He even would stay in his bed till I came in there in the morning. About 3 months before Zach arrived he move from the converted crib toddler bed to a Thomas the Train toddler bed. He loved it so much. We started to work on potty training, but he just doesn't want anything to do with it. He has the concept down and knows what to do. He just doesn't want to do it. So this is a big goal for us with in the next year. I have gathered some pics from each month of the last year so you can see just how much are little mas has changed. November 2008 December 2008

Happy 2nd Birthday Ryan!!!!

Ryan loves trains. So we had a Thomas the Train Birthday party. We kindof went over board, I think, witht all the Thomas stuff. But he loved it and that is all that matters. We invited some family and his two best friends Tyler Gibbons and Kiefer Wence. They had a blast playing outside and inside with all his trains. Uncle Travis was nice enough to build a track for the boys to play with. Here are some pics from the party. Ry digging into the snacks. Zach's first time at a birthday party
