My favorite time of year!

Well, its that time of year again. FALL! I love it. It also means its time for Alyvia to start her mothers day out program again. This is her second year to attend this program. It's at a local church on Tuesday and Thursdays. Last year on her first day she cried quite a bit. Below is a picture of her on her first day.( Before all the tears.)


Then there is this year-2011!
She has gotten so big! This year she just gives me a kiss and goes to play with her friend. No crying for her! Well she did cry a little the very first morning, but since then she has been a brave girl! They teach them so much at the school. Each week they have a new lesson and a bible story. Of course the other kids teach her too. Sometimes what she learns isn't so great. Like pointing her finger at me and telling me no. Yeah, we're working on that.


I can't end the post without writing a little about Ryan. He is 3 1/2 months and has started rolling back to stomach this week. He has been rolling stomach to back for about 3 weeks or so. He is cooing and smiling and has even laughed out loud a few times.

I just can't stand the cuteness!

Here he is at 1 day old. Little cutie pie.

Very thankful for my two sweet kiddos! :)

What we've been up to!

Well it has been a looong time since I have blogged. I really want to do it regularly. Alyvia and Ryan are doing so many new things each day and I want to document it somewhere. Anyway, let me catch you all up on whats been happenin'.

We added a sweet baby boy to our family! Ryan Landon was born June 1st at 8:34pm. He is the calmest, most precious baby. When he is awake he is happy and playing and smiling and cooing. We just looove him! Especially big sis, Alyvia.

Okay, maybe it wasn't love at first sight, but she definitely loves him now :)
They are awesome, wonderful,cute,funny,loving and every other good adjective you can think of.

I have also officially graduated nursing school and passed the NCLEX! I am an RN.

Let me just tell you, I am RELIEVED!!!!!
Now I can just sit back and enjoy my family without having to worry about what project is due or when the next ridiculously hard test is going to be. It's a great feeling!

Its almost fall and I can say that I am really looking forward to the cooler weather. It was over 100 degrees for a full month, without any rain! Talk about miserable weather. I'm looking forward to cooler weather and falling leaves.
I plan on making many zoo and park trips in the next month or two, before it gets too cold.
Anyway, I will do another catch up post soon to fill you in on our summer.
