This past month, we've been to birthday party, after birthday party, after baby shower, after baby shower. It's been a busy time of year, but a fun time as well. We've done a lot of celebrating lately! We thought we'd share some pictures from just a few of the parties we've enjoyed recently.
Rylan's buddy, Benton, recently turned two. Rylan was invited to his birthday party at Jump and Bounce. We took Rylan there about a year ago and he wasn't quite sure about all the big toys. He wanted Mommy and Daddy to go on them with him. But, this year Rylan got right up onto the toys all by himself. He had a blast! The big slides were his favorite!
"Look at me, Mom!" -Rylan says this a lot when he's doing something he's very proud of.
Pizza and ice cream-What a great boost after burning all that energy playing!
Our friends, Rachel and Tyson, are expecting their second child (a girl). They had a couples baby shower at a bowling alley. Rylan got to experience bowling for the first time. He and his friend Kariya had fun trying this sport out together. As you can see, Rylan was a little unsure as to where he should stand. He kept wanting to get in front of the ball. Needless to say, it took all three of us to get the job done.
Rylan tried chasing after the bowling ball a few times. He didn't seem to understand why we wouldn't let him run down the lane.
"Do you think I'm going to get a strike Dad?"
Cara, Jera, Sara
My friend Cara just had a baby shower in town. She is expecting her first child, a baby boy. She lives in Connecticut and isn't in town too often, so I was thrilled to be able to see her! It was fun reuniting with Cara, and another friend of ours from high school, Jera. If you haven't noticed...our names rhyme. The funny thing is that when the three of us hung out together and we'd meet guys, they didn't believe us when we told them our names. They thought we were giving them a hard time by making up names. We got quite a few chuckles out of the whole situation. It was so good seeing both of you again!
