Other that that, we have just been getting through the week. Phillip has been working overtime and I have been consumed with Zumba and the Mavericks. I know we can win tonight.
GO MAVS!!

Additional pictures
Here are the pictures that Lisa took during her twin's birthday party. I still didn't get a great picture of her on her favorite ride. It's the one where she is sitting in the green car.

Party...Party....
This past weekend was a good one. I went to Zumba, my favorite workout class on Friday night, Saturday morning and Sunday morning. Phillip and I went Saturday morning to work out while Ryan played in the gym daycare. She saw a friend (I work out with Amber and her son was in there) and was talking to him when we picked her up. So cute.
After the gym, we took naps and got ready for Lisa and Dallas' 3 year old twins birthday party. Paige and Ethan turned the big 3! They are SO cute. I wanted to get more pictures of them, but for some reason my camera was full of Ryan :)!!
I did get some cute ones of them eating and being sung to behind their cake. Such fun kids.
Thanks to Lisa and Dallas for inviting us. It was fun, however I am not happy. They don't have an Abbey's Playtown close to us. This place was great. It's owned by a family and made for toddlers. You can go play or rent out. Everything a toddler would want is in there.
They had swings from the ceiling, bounce house, trampoline, play kitchens, things to ride.....so fun!!!
Now Ryan.....well we are finding out that she likes things fast, upside down, high.....anything a baby wouldn't normally want to do.
There was a rollercoaster thing that I didn't get a good picture of that she HAD to do. The baby one wasn't even close to fast or high. You will see.
We also put her in a mini skirt. I am sure this will be the only time she will ever be let out of the house in something that short. :)
Baby in a swing. (Video on next post) This was hung from the ceiling.
This is a little rollercoaster thing that Ryan rode. It had 2 humps. Phil would push her and she had an ok time. Wait till she got on the big one........YES....big one.

This was Ryan's favorite part. I can't believe I didn't get a picture from the front. She would climb up to the top to sit in that green car (to the left) and then I would push her down and she would ride it like a rollercoaster just straight down. (No worries, the top came up to about my chest. It wasn't that tall) BUT she loved it and wanted to go down it again and again. Hopefully Lisa got some cute pictures.
This has got to be the funniest thing to Ryan. She loves to hide. Dallas' dad was putting the can over her head and she was laughing.....as usual. See her little feet.....
This is Ryan standing in the bounce house. She can't jump just yet, but she likes to try.
Sunday, Heather, Bronwyn, Cooper, Ryan, Hayley and I went window shopping at Firewheel and then came back to do some sidewalk chalk. These pictures aren't that great b/c I took them with my phone.
The seond picture says Ryan & Mommy. She loved it.
She looks so old!

Do you understand her???
Miss Motor Mouth didn't talk as much b/c she was eating for one and the camera was a distraction as well.
Bobbi's baby shower
We had a baby shower for a friend at work. Bobbi is having a little girl, Madeleine.
It was fun. We had a BBQ theme, cake and watched her open her gifts. Of course I took the pictures of her opening my gift :)! I got her onesies and socks b/c I am going to her outside of work shower too. (She reads this, so I can't say what I am getting :-) ).

New friends/ Aunt H-E's bday
I have been taking Ryan to a new class in the mornings for drop off. She is too big for the Infant room with the little babies. Ryan likes to play and doesn't understand boundaries yet.
So I take her to Ms Christine. Ms Christine loves Ryan. She has always said hi to her and Ryan hasn't even been in her class yet. Well, Ryan has cried. It's not her normal routine and she doesn't like it....at first. By the time I sign her sheet and leave, she is fine.
Today I walked in and this little girl, about Brownyn's age, started saying Ryan's name and holding her hands up. She wants and has been playing with her and helping her these last few days. I watched from a window where she couldn't see me and Autumn, the little girl, was helping her in a chair and giving her toys. That makes me feel so much better. Bronwyn loves to play with Ryan and Cooper, so I know that Autumn feels the same way, which makes it better for both me and Ryan.
Last night we went to Heather's (Aunt H-E) birthday dinner at Gloria's. It was Mom, Richard, Dad, Barbara, me, Phil, Ry, Josh, and the kids. We had a good time.
Heather and her birthday flan! Yum......
Grandaddy and Ryan
Someone loves Gloria's beans.

Butterflies, balloons and fun!
What a weekend. All of us girls, plus Coop, stayed at my mom’s house while Josh was in OK for work and Richard and Phillip were in Mt Vernon at the farm.
The weekend started off Friday night in the backyard. We put Bronwyn to work as she raked and shoveled dirt around while the little ones ran up and down the hill. They fell, got up, played with the ball, rode the little thing (don’t know name) and played with Bronwyn’s Zhu Zhu pets, or rats as Aunt Hay Hay calls them. After that, the little ones got a bath. Coop pretty much swims. He is all over that tub. Ryan, not so much. She sat there and watched him and then got upset b/c he was splashing her too much. Boy, is she in for some trouble. This is just the beginning of those two and what’s to come as they get older. But I got a few good pictures of them in the tub together. These will be great pictures to show them when they get older and start to fight. I will tell them that I will put them in the tub together if they don’t stop fighting.
After I got back, we got ready and went to the Balloon Convention in downtown Dallas. Supposedly, this is a huge thing they have that’s only one day on one weekend. We got there around 1pm thinking we would have plenty of time. We didn’t enter the actual area until an hour or so later. The line wasn’t all that bad b/c it would move at a good pace every few minutes. I would say it was maybe ½ a mile long. I don’t know……all I do know is that it started up stairs in a long hallway, lined the outside edge of a ballroom and went back down stairs. For those with strollers were never told that at the end of the line, we would have an escalator that was out of order. Mom and I took the strollers down the slow elevator while Heather and B stayed in line.
After we got in, we saw lots of fun things made out of balloons. There is Dirk. I knew he was tall, but man….he is huge! :)
Well at least I got my picture of a butterfly!!!!
Dog on a motorcycle!!
Windmill
Waterfall......look at the person standing near it. That's how big it was.

Saturday started off at the butterfly museum. We packed the kids up in two cars and headed to Fair Park. Ryan obviously didn’t make it before taking a nap.
It was a good time. I regret a few things. The museum was humid on purpose. I didn’t stay long enough to read why. But I don’t like to be hot or sweaty unless I am working out. Well, I got hot and sweaty and Ryan was walking around and making me sweat more. We couldn’t take the strollers so it wasn’t much of a stroll. I feel bad now b/c my mom offered to watch Ryan or help me, but all I wanted was to cool off. I should have gone back in after settling down. So the therapy for me (from having bugs fly at my face) didn’t happen. Thanks to Aunt Hay Hay, she took some pretty pictures of the butterflies and B inside. Also, thank you Nana for the pretty outfit for Ryan with a butterfly on it.
After that, we put the kids back in the strollers and got to go to the gardens part. We walked to the fountain and let the kids walk around. There was a lot of space and outside, so was kind of nice. We got some cute pictures of them. I love the one of Aunt Hay Hay and Bronwyn walking.

These next pictures are of Ryan after her nap just playing around. We went to dinner Saturday and then came back for a movie. The kids were asleep and mom and her girls sat down for a movie, The Blind Side. The first part was good. That’s all I saw b/c I passed out!!
We had breakfast Sunday morning and then mom watched Ryan while I went to Zumba. Hayley went home b/c she had a wedding to work Sunday afternoon.
