My 30th Re-Do Birthday Party

Yeah I am 30! I hate it but life will go on! Well I had to work the night before my Birthday and the night of so I really didn't get a chance to celebrate. I had bought me a few shirts and Ryan had gotten me some new mixing bowls and Nice Wooden spoons and spatulas so it was nice but working was a drag. Well Mom and Dad decided they would come up Today (Saturday) and celebrate as Ethan put it, "A Re-do Birthday Party". Mom and Dad got here and it was raining but we decided to BBQ hamburgers despite the rain. Afterwards I opened presents from Mom and Dad, Dad's present you will see below Mom got me a Spatula and Measuring Cups and another kitchen gadget. (FYI I needed new kitchen stuff) well after that Mom told me she and Dad wanted to take me to pick out flowers for one of my flower beds (Thats what I had wanted really bad) I was so excited cause I thought maybe I hadn't dropped enough hints! We went and bought my flowers at Freddy's I am so excited for nice weather so I can plant them. Thanks Mom and Dad you are the best. I loved hanging out with them I only wish they wouldn't have had to go! Thanks for being such awesome Parents and being such great Incredible Grandparents!

After Ryans Accident I vowed I would make sure we had more Family Pictures together.

My Dad's B-Day Present for me on my 30th re-do B-Day

So my Dad is so awesome. If you know my Dad you will know that he is brilliant I hope I have a hair of his smartness some day he amazes me with the knowledge that he has....Also if you know my Dad yuou know that he is cheap. I say that with love cause it is not a trait that I have. Anyway Dad always has his eyes on the good deals at Office Max on cool little toys that only computer geeks would like. Although I do not consider myself as a computer geek, I do tend to have some computer geek traits and I work alot on the computer. So to make a long story short Dad got in on a sale on 8gb Verbatim Flash drives and he got me one for my birthday. (If you want to know I really like the Verbatim brand it is the same brand as my 120 gb external Hard Drive) (See I am kinda a geek) Also along with the Flash Drive he gave me a lanyard so I can wear it around my neck we got a kick out of it and my kids think it is the coolest. And yes my Dad wears his lanyard everyday with not one but usually at least two flash drives on it! I love you Dad thanks for thinking of me i am going to use this one a ton!

My awesome Dad and I for my 30th B-Day

Ethan might just be a geek in the making!

Addy thinks they are cool just cause the resemble a necklace!

Our Cute Little Girl

So Ryan calls Addy a "Wolf in Sheeps Clothing" Anyone that knows her knows how true this is.
I am so proud of her though she knows what she wants and is willing to go for it and doesn't give up! Anyway this particular day Addy was so stinking cute while we were getting ready. Somedays she just glows and this was one of those days plus she was all for wearing capri's so I suggested we run out to the studio and take a few shots we have so much fun when she is in a good mood.

Ethan Turned 6 :(

What this cannot be Ryan and I are parents of a 6 year old. We are much to young for this. Time sure has flown by! We are so lucky to be Ethan's parents! He is such a fun, sensitive, loving, outgoing, thoughtful, amazing, loveable, child I could go on and on. Ethan is such a delight he finishes Kindergarten next week he is getting all grown up on us. We sure love him more everyday! He loves to play video games, ride on his scooter in which he named, Scoots Picatchu Hanson! Love It! He loves his sister and would do anything to protect her!

We actually had his party the day after his birthday so Grandma and Grandpa Harris could come and Aunt Meghann and Aunt Cassie also! We had such a great time it was very relaxing! We all love you Ethan and thank you for choosing Me and Dad to be your parents!

Our 6 Year Old

Our 1st Drive In as a Family

About a month prior to Ethans birthday he had discovered that th Night at the Musuem 2 was coming to theaters the day of his birthday and had asked if maybe we could go to that on his birthday. Ryan and I had said yes because we still had a 2 free movie passes that the hospital had given me for Chirstmas so we would only have to pay for him and Addy would get in free, so we thought what an awesome, fun, cheap activity to do that would thrill him. Well after Ryan wrecked I knew that Theater seating was not an option I wasn't sure what we were going to do cause I didn't want to break Ethan's heart and didn't want to go by my self with the 2 kids. Well I happened to drive by the Drive in and guess what was playing YIPPPEEEEE! Well we had Mom's car because mine broke down (I won't go there) But her car is a lot bigger and was pretty comfortable for Ryan. We so enjoyed going the kids were so excited it is amazing how little things in life can amaze children. I am so grateful for the 2 wonderful children I have Ryan and I are very blessed!

Ethan missing 2 teeth

So while I was busy with getting things done for Ryan post accident Ethan comes up to me and says "Momma I think I am going to loose a tooth" I said, "O yeah do you have one loose?" He responded, "No but look," Sure enough no loose tooth but sure as heck he had a new one growing behind. Well I just couldn't mentally accept a trip to the dentist that day so I decided to put it off for a while after making sure it was okay with my bro-in-law that is a dental hygentist. But as soon as my mental capasity could fit it in I took him in sure enough They pulled two teeth. He wasn't very happy! We came home put the teeth in a glass bottle with water and sure enough the next day the water was blue and Ethan had $2.50 for the two teeth! I cannot believe he is growing up soooooo fast!

This was a few days later

This was right after the Dentist Visit

Kick Me Sign

So My Mom and Dad had the kids the entire weekend of Ryans accident (Thanks Mom Dad and Mac) Well if you know Ethan he is a little sponge I love him but sometimes he is just alittle too cleaver. Well some how he came up with the Idea of a kick me sign to put on Addy's back, well when he sat down to write it out he discovered that he wasn't sure how to spell "kick me". Instead of asking he decided to draw it. I had heard about this sign that he put on Addys back but hadn't seen it until my brother Mac emailed me a picture of it. I am not sure who will end up with the sign whether it be me or mom but I think it might just derserve to be framed for life! I love you Ethan but try to be nicer to sis!
