Happy Father's Day!

Malek may have missed 'donuts with daddy' at daycare because we were on our beach trip, but Ry still found the time to make daddy a gift.  And don't worry, we all gave Malek a card for daddy day...which said something to the effect about him being 'the big enchilada' and the kids adding spice (or indigestion) to his life.  :)

Happy Father's day to my amazing hubby, you're a wonderful dad to Evan, Emma and Ryland!

I Love You Daddy!

14 Months and a beach trip!

My baby toddler is now 14 months young!  He still weighs ~20 lbs and more teeth have started popping up.  2 first molars are busting through his upper gums (one on each side), and his bottom right lateral incisor is finally making an appearance!  For the longest time he was sporting 3 front bottom teeth instead of an even 4, which made for an endearing lopsided smile.  :P

At the Oasis 6/9/2012

Over Memorial day weekend Ry succumbed to HFM disease.  Apparently he had it the worst and was the first in his class to catch it.  Luckily the virus didn't seem to bother him at all as he was his typical rambunctious charming self and he only missed 2 days of daycare.

Ry also went on his very first trip to the beach!  We decided to take an extended weekend family vacation to Port Aransas and rented a beach house (Starfish) with my parents.  The kids had a blast.  Ry loved playing in the water and the sand, although he wasn't too thrilled to have salt water splashed in his eyes.  He especially loved rinsing off under the hose at the house after returning from the beach and playing in the sprinklers.  I wish I had snapped more pictures.  I managed to miss many photo opportunities on this trip, or maybe I was just having too much fun to bother with the camera.  ;)  I even forgot to take pictures of the fabulous meals we enjoyed at Castaways, mom's homemade shrimp tempura and a night out at Sharky's.  All in all we had a nice, relaxing vacation at the beach, which also made for a great Father's day weekend.  :D
