Ryan's Birthday & Kittens

Ryan had a birthday on Friday (he's now the big 2-6) My parents watched B and we went on a "date". We went to Evansville & ate at Red Lobster (YUM!) and Ryan went to Gander Mountain (for what seemed like days!) haha... It was nice to go out, just the two of us!

Happy Father's Day

i can't believe how much they have changed in just two years!!
Ryan is the best daddy in the world!

I'm a Clown!!

The other night Brycen was supposed to be brushing his teeth... he was taking quite a long time & I was starting to wander what he was up to! He came out of his bathroom looking like this (that's toothpaste on his face)! I said, "Brycen, what are you doing?!" He said, "Mommy, I'm a clown. Smell the flower on my shirt." (points to an imaginary flower on his shirt) So I bend down to smell the (imaginary) flower, and Brycen says, "haha Mommy it squirted you w/ water!"

Seriously, where does he get this stuff?! It cracked me up!!
I'm thankful he uses his imagination, but it blows my mind where he comes up w/ this stuff!! :)

He loves it!!

We went to Holiday World Yesterday & Brycen just loved it! He had fun last year, but this year was even better!! My mom, my brother's girlfriend (Braelyn), Brycen, and I spent the day riding rides and mostly playing in the water park!! Of course, I have pictures :)

Brycen before we left for Holiday World, he was sooo excited!

first ride of the day, jets w/ guns :) of course that made it one of his faves!

water bumper boats :) another fave! he waited in line through 3 turns just to ride this! he was soooo patient and good! i was SO proud of him!

God's greatest blessing, momma's boy! <3>

Brae & Brycen splashing in the wave pool! He had so much fun w/ her!

playing in the water- of course a favorite thing to do any time!

Braelyn & I- my brother's girlfriend- I love her!
