Our Crazy Life!: Happy Birthday Ryan!

The boys and I went to the gym on Monday. While Nolan practiced getting into the crawling position Spencer made friends with a Grandpa who was also shooting some hoops.

Spencer continues to love swimming leasons. He's gearing up for all the swimming he will be doing in Cancun! He's in the dark shorts.

He also continues to be our very goofy child. The boys have been insisting on picking out their own things to wear at home. For 2 days he picked out a muscle shirt and shorts!

We celebrated Ryan's brithday on Wednesday. Ryan and I snuck away for a quick dinner to one of our favorite spots downtown. When we got home Spencer and Easton were still awake so they sang happy birthday and shared Ryan's cake!

We also said goodbye to a few of our baby items this week. I'm both happy and sad about closing the door on having more babies. I'm sad because I enjoyed being pregnant (up until week 30) and I also enjoy babies. I'm happy because I'm excited for the next chapters in our lives. I'm excited to watch all of the boys get older and their personalities change. I'm also looking forward to them being a little bit more independent.

I had Easton's follow up appointment for his scar. The doctor thought things were looking fine and that we need to go back in a year. He said because he's so fair skinned it will take awhile for the redness to go away. He gave me some gel patches and spray that I should use to help the scar heal. After the appointment I took the boys out to lunch to one of my favorite places, Panera. The boys were busy in their seats but not naughty. I was busy getting their food ready and feeding Nolan that I didn't eat and enjoyed my lunch for dinner.

Before heading home we stopped to visit Auntie and Finley. Hadly and Nolan had fun playing together. It's fun to watch two kids who don't fight yet over every single toy!

Nolan was interested in Hadley's barrett.

For Ryan's birthday I said we should get bikes. I got out of work early one day and did some shopping around. I came home with a bike for him and myself. Both Ryan and I agree that we will need to upgrade our seats but we look forward to taking family bike rides. It's been about 15 years since I've been on a bike so I never thought I would have one of those trailers that pull behind a bike but honestly I'm pretty excited about it. We took a quick family bike ride then Spencer told us he was tired and wanted to go back to play with the new neighbor girls. I also took the two older boys in the trailer to the park. It was a great weekend and we enjoyed being outside both days!

The bike trailer can also be a running stroller so Spencer and I tested that out Sat. morning!

Getting ready for their first ride.

First family bike ride of many I'm sure!

Spencer meeting up with one of the new neighbor girls. They had fun playing with them today. The oldest is 7 an the youngest is 3. Between the 4 houses on our cul-de-sac there are 10 kids spread amongst only 4 houses!

The boys had fun playing at the park.

When they got back Ryan took them to the baseball diamond to play.

Spencer hit a home run! Can you see the arrow pointing to the ball! Not bad for spring training. Spencer starts tee ball in May but would rather have Ryan pitch to him.
****Blogger keeps cutting off the arrow so double click the picture to make it bigger!****

It was a great weekend! I love that the boys can get outside again to play. The best part was Easton slept in until 10:45 this morning and all 3 boys were alseep before 7:00 pm!

Gotta love having pizza on Friday nights.
