CONGRATS RY!!!!

After 5 years as an apprenticeship, Ry has finished and is now officially a Steamfitter Journeyman! I'm so proud of him and would have LOVED to throw a huge bash to show him how proud I was. But since things are crazy around here and show no signs of slowing down I had just a very small group of people over for dinner. He had NO idea, not even when he got home to 12 baked potato's in the slow cooker. I said, no those are for a soup I want to make! Not even when there were 6 lbs of steak in the fridge marinating. I think he finally figured it out when he also saw the 10 pieces of chicken marinating. Oh well, he was still surprised.
I got the girls ready and he goes, are we going anywhere? I told him it was just the 4 of us celebrating and Mya wanted to get him balloons and party hats! I've been dying to get Ashley in this ruffle onesie, so I finally had a reason to dress her up! Mya wanted to wear a tutu to match Ashley so she threw on her 2nd birthday party tutu!

This kid is SO long!!!!


I had to add the leg warmers since it was a little breezy.

Ashley was snoozing before everyone showed up.

YAYYY!!!!!!

Tabs craking Ashley up!

We're so proud of you Ryan. I can't believe you're all done with this and you're a journeyman. You are such a great role model to your 2 little girls. I love you so much. xoxo

Happy Birthday Frank

Last Wednesday was my older brother Frank's birthday. I totally forgot our camera so had to use my parents to get some pics. WOW, what a difference the DSLR makes.
Make a wish brother!

Looks like she's ready to jump into the cake.
