Paige's First Dance Recital

Viva Las Vegas

Since last year I was pregnant with Jack on my actual 30th Birthday....we decided to do something a little different for my 31st or a redo of my 3oth as I called it....and we made our way to vegas. It was amazing....the food was incredible and the nightlife was out of this world!!!

Catching up....a little bit

I had to share our sweet Christmas card....It was my favorite by far and the best part is we designed it ourselves....what fun we had. In this picture Jack you were only five months old and barely sitting up. Wow have they grown since then.

Well, Okay we have not been up to much!

I realized the other day I had not blogged since last February and I am so sad because I realize that I can use this as a scrapbook of our lives minus all the paper and extra pictures which I am so not good at keeping up with....so I do say I will try to do better this time around!!! Well considering the last time I blogged was in the midst of a snowstorm in Monroe, La...yes a rare occasion...Paige was two and I was five months pregnant....well about two week after my final blog we where blessed with the news that we were expecting a baby boy. All of a sudden I was seeing blue, jon-jons, tractors, football in my eyes....Then it happened summer came, Paige turned three and eighteen days later on July 8, 2010 we welcome a healthy baby boy. Jack Owen Ryan arrived at 10:55 am weighing at a hefty 7pds and 15oz and 20 inches long.
So here is a little glimpse of the past year!!

My Snow Angel

Wow, what a wonderful morning....Like most of the area we were blessed to have 4 inches of snow on the ground when we woke up friday morning. P was so excited and could not wait to go out side and play. We built snowmen yes three and headed to the levee where P fearlessly went sledding for at least two hours. She had such a big time and nap time was very welcome!
On another note I am now 181/2 weeks with Baby Ryan...I am excited to find out on tues if we have a little brother or sister....this has been such a different pregnancy...I will keep all updated!

Emily and Billy's Visit

About a month ago our cousins from Memphis came to visit and we all had such a great time....At the time we were 15 weeks with baby ryan and Paige was excited to tell Emily all about her baby, big girl room and her love of princesses. Emily surprized P with a fun filled afternoon of Maggie Moo's, Starbucks hot chocolate, Build a Bear and after a hard day of shopping...a pedicure...After P's big day, mommy and daddy were able to hang out with Emily and Billy for some adult time....woo hoo!

Big GIrl Room

In preparation of becoming a big sister in a few month...Paige gracefully agreed that the baby needed her nursery and she would get a new big girl room...So she was able to help Daddy over the past few weeks paint her big girl room....She has had such a blast helping Michael paint....
