The Boys

A couple weeks ago, we had such a fun day. Thomas' cousins, Ethan, Aidan, and Oliver came over to play. Thomas just loves playing with his cousins "EE" and "AA". They had lunch and then played in the little pool. And Afton and I were able to visit for a few hours. What a nice afternoon!

Oliver and Andrew are going to be the best of friends! They are only one month apart. I laid them next to each other and they ended up getting their arms linked - it was so cute.

Vegas, Baby!

For our third anniversary, Ryan and I took a trip to Vegas. It was our very first trip without kids, and was a much needed break. We had SO much fun! We stayed at the Mirage and went to their lion/tiger/dolphin exhibit. We also saw the Beatles' Cirque Du Soleil show "LOVE" - it was SO SO GOOD! I loved it bad. Ryan also bought me a pedicure at the hotel's fancy salon (my Mother's Day gift). So I was really pampered. It was just an all-around wonderful trip. (Thanks to Keith & Margo for watching our children!)

You can't see our faces, but that's us at the Beatles show.

Two Cents Worth

Oh, yeah, just thought I would blog about another fun experience that happened the same weekend as Andrew's blessing......
We had our first 911 call (and hopefully our last). I was doing some laundry in our laundry room when Thomas came up to me choking. At first, I thought he was just choking on a bite of food or something. He is usually not one to put toys and things in his mouth. But I then realized that he couldn't swallow and was trying to gag something up. I did a swipe in his mouth with my finger, but couldn't feel anything. I screamed to my mom to come help; I was panicking. We were both trying to help him, but nothing was working. So as I was dialing 911, my mom was still working on him. As soon as I get connected to the local medical help, I hear "clink, clink".....two pennies drop to the ground.
I was so thankful and relieved I started crying. Luckily, my mom was finally able to get the pennies up and out and we didn't have to have any medical help come to our house! I don't know what I would have done without my mom there! Scariest experience ever.

Favorite Pics

Thomas and his chocolately luscious lips!

These are a couple of pictures my friend, Carolyn, took while she was visiting from Wyoming back in February. They are so cute that I wanted to post them. (I hope you don't mind, Carla!) Somehow she even made me look cute being 9 months pregnant!

I Feel So Violated

Ok, ok, I know I am really not doing good with this blogging thing. There really are a lot of things for me to talk about and update; I just have not sat down to do it.

Thanks, Afton, I love the new updates! :)

How Do I Look?

Hey Terri,
I broke into your account and changed a few things on your blog. I know you wanted a cute background, but you didn't know how to do it. So I got you started. I will show you how to change it so you can change it the future, but I figured, if you had a cute blog then maybe you would start posting some entries. There is so much fun stuff you can do, you just learn as you go. I know you want a playlist, but I'll let you do that one yourself. (Even though I could probably pick out some of the songs you would use) I promise, I won't abuse the fact that know your account password. Hope you don't mind, and hope you like it.
Love ya,
Afton
