Bad habbits already!

Ryan started teething months ago and has only two bottom teeth, however, he enjoys gnawing on everything in site. This includes humans. He usually just nibbles on your finger or your hand, and occasionally bites a toe that is hanging over the couch.....Ouch! He has now started full on biting. This video captures an innocent father doing his homework when out of nowhere a baby attacks him......he he I can't help but laugh right now but I see future problems here!

What a tease

Grant is the typical older brother, always teasing his little brother. I have dreamed about the day when I would have two children playing together. It took a little longer than planned but I light up every time I see my boys hanging out. Yes, I would prefer that it was always peaceful, but I will take it either way. Someday our house will be quiet, the boys will be grown, and I will truly miss these precious moments. Here is a video of Grant teasing Ryan by placing his fingers under the bathroom door. Ryan seems to think that he should go wherever Grant goes. If Grant shuts the door Ryan falls apart. Grant has found that if he plays with him on the other side of the door then Ryan calms down. Too Cute!

Just another day

Weekends are the best

This is my favorite part of the week. Weekends full of family outings, soccer games, great dinners, and spending the evenings watching movies and snuggling. Ryan was worn out from the day and fell asleep in his favorite spot.......mom or dad's arms.

Soccer Season!!!!

It was hard finding a sport that Grant would be interested in playing but we did it. He played twice for the YMCA in Missouri and is now playing for Hugh Bish under the Lawton Soccer Club. Practices started last week and he had his first game last Saturday. They played the toughest team and the league and held their own! We were very proud of his team because they only had 6 players so they had to play the entire game while the other team of 12 had subs. Go Grant! Dad's been outside working with Grant on straightening is foot. It worked because he was doing awesome at his game today!

He's been working hard at practice and it paid off today as they had their first win. More importantly the entire team has improved greatly. We welcomed two new members so we actually were able to give the kiddos a break out in the brutal heat. Silly momma forgot the camera two games in a row. I caught some pics on my iPhone so I'll get those on here soon.

Caution: Children's brains are hard at work!

After the trip to the zoo we stopped off at the science center. It was full of activities for kiddos of all ages. Here's Ryan learning about those teeth that have been coming in!

Say cheese! Ryan was so hot from the zoo that he just looked out of it for the rest of the day. It made for a nice quiet ride home.

Grant enjoyed playing with the exhibits and viewing the planetarium. We learned about planes, trains, and automobiles....outer space and even attended a theatrical show on chemistry. That was the best part for Grant because they blew things up:)

Watch out Paul Blart, we have a mall cop in the making:)

Lions, and Tigers, and Rhinos??? Oh my!

With all of us having lovely allergy issues from being back in the Midwest we developed cabin fever. Labor Day weekend swooped in to save the day and we headed to OKC for some fun. First stop was the OKC Zoo! We saw all kinds of animals like Rhinos, Gorillas, Giraffes, and even some snakes(okay so Grant and daddy looked at some snakes while Ryan and I checked out flamingos, owls, and swans)

The Children's Zoo was Grant's favorite by far. They had several rides, sprinklers, and an adorable petting zoo.

The day didn't end here so stay tuned for the next post:)

Order Up!!

We found this cute onesie when we were out the other day and I couldn't help myself. It's a 3-6 month and Ryan is in 6-9 months or even 12 month clothes so we are very lucky that it even fits. Out little tot has grown into a Fry:)

Will the real Ryan Garrett please stand up!

Daddy has been working hard to get Ryan to stand on his own. Lately he has been doing it on his own for about a second, but today when JR balanced him and let go we easily counted a good 5 seconds. Now that's progress.....It is so cute and I know our little guy will be walking soon!

Brody's Baby Shower

We gave my oldest sister Michelle a baby shower in August to help her prepare for baby Brody! My mom always makes us baby blankets and here are some of them. Above is the MU attire and below is a fun monkey blanket.

Below is the baby quilt that will match his room that my mom made. Beautiful:)

Martha Stewart is her nickname for a reason. Here are the cupcakes and cookies that mom also made. They tasted great and the cookies were sooo cute!

We cannot wait for Brody to get here. Michelle goes in for a c-section on September 29th I believe, but from what I here back home she has dropped and may not hold him in there til then. His due date is October 9th but there is no way she would carry it that long. She's about to POP. So exciting!
