Happy Birthday Mom!

Happy Birthday Mom! You are the best mother in the world! I love you!

My turn for baby Ryan!

Laura enjoys holding baby Ryan. She'll come up to me or Joel and say "my turn!" We're happy she loves him!

Easter Wreath

I saw a wreath that was wrapped in hot pink ribbon with pink bunny peeps hot glued to the wreath. It looked so festive and springy I decided to make my own! I glued the peeps directly to the ribbon so when Easter is over, I can cut off the ribbon and throw the (by then) stale and crunchy peeps away and still have a great twigy wreath to use for another project!

I added a smaller ribbon saying "Happy Easter"

Laura wanted to have her picture taken. Anytime I get the camera out she automatically says "cheese!"


Why are my fingers sticky?

We love Visitors!

We love to have visitors! The very first people to meet Ryan (besides Joel and myself) was Laura and Mom. Sorry Ashleigh and Shenn, we forgot to take a picture when you came to the hospital!
