Day 311

About 98.9% of the nights Elyse has been here, her and Tim stay up and eat popcorn and watch movies together.  Sometimes 1, sometimes 2.  Tim will miss it when she's gone!  I can't really watch movies at night.  They are too long and I usually end up falling asleep.  They can be snuggle bunnies at night when Elyse gets sleepy.  They are cute.

We spent most of the afternoon at Tim's mom's house.  Our niece, Kylie, had been out of town for the past week.  Elyse was super excited to hear that Kylie was back in town and really wanted to play with her.    She was over at Tim's mom's house so we all went over there, so Elyse could see her Grandma before she left and play with Kylie.

Day 310

I love the way Ryan sleeps with his butt in the air.

Pretty much stayed home all day and watched Disney with Elyse.

Day 309

Back in January we took the kids to Golf N Stuff, Elyse wanted to go on the go karts, we didn't have enough time so we told her we'd go next time.  She didn't bring it up during Easter break, but she's been bringing it up allll summer.  I kept telling her, no, we can't go because it's way too hot outside.  Today the weather was overcast and so nice so Tim & I finally decided to take her.

On her way there we stopped at two different 7-Elevens for their free slurpees for their birthday.  The free cups were itty bitty so we had to stop at a second one.  We got Golf N Stuff passes at a Food City for only $13 each!  They include one round of mini golf, 4 rides, and 4 game tokens.  We bought one for Tim & one for Elyse.  I can't do anything because I'm pregnant!  But I don't mind, I enjoy pushing Ryan around in his stroller and watching Elyse run around anyways.

Elyse was sooo excited.  She kept saying "I'm so happy!"  They played one round of mini golf.  Tim only won by 3 points!  Rode Go Karts- Elyse was the passanger.  They rode again and the attendant let Elyse ride all by herself!  She was so excited.  Priceless.  Then they played Laser Tag twice.  Tim told her that laser tag would hurt so Elyse was all scared and didn't want to play!  It was funny, I told her it didn't hurt.  The first time they played- I could hear Elyse saying "Daddy, I'm scared!"  I guess it was too dark in there.  They played again against two boys and Elyse was excited because she beat one of the boys.

After Golf N Stuff, we went to McDonalds for dinner.  Elyse kept running up in the Play Place and yelling at Ryan and he'd look all around until he found her and then he'd smile at her.  They are so cute.

Lastly, we took the kids to the park before it got dark.  Another thing Elyse has been wanting to do, but it's been too hot up until today.  Elyse can run around like crazy.  I put Ryan in the swings & he laughed!!  The last two times I put him in swings, he hated them!  I'm glad he likes them again.  We even let him go down the little slide by himself.  I was nervous at first.  I'd lay him down at the top and Tim would catch him.  Ryan loved it.

After I took the picture above, the camera battery died! =(

Day 308

We had a few things to do in the early afternoon.  Ryan didn't wake up til a few minutes after noon today.  Geez.  I kept checking on him to make sure that he was breathing.  He was :)  After our errands, we took the kids to Peter Piper Pizza for lunch.  We love that place.  It has the best pizza.  Elyse played some games and we all ate pizza.

When Elyse was cashing in her tickets- she got Ryan this little alien thing.  He was chewing on his head when I noticed he had blood around his mouth.  I took him to the bathroom to clean him up.  His 5th tooth had poped through and that's why his gum was bleeding.  5 teeth!  I can't believe my baby already has his fifth tooth.

After Ryan went to bed, Elyse and I played with her doll house, played board games, and made some cookies with her Easy Bake Oven.

Day 307

Elyse was squirting Ryan tonight w/ his toys.

She is so amazing with him.  It makes me so happy to watch them play together.  She is always chasing him and playing with him.  She lets him crawl into her room and play with her toys.  If Ryan & I are in his room, she will come into his room and play toys with us.  She gets excited and runs into his room when he wakes up in the morning.  She's usually (or always) the first one up.  She gives him kisses all the time.  When we go places, they sit in the back seat together and she makes faces at him & I just hear them laughing at eachother.  It makes my heart smile. 

Tonight we went to dinner w/ Tim's mom, his brother & his girlfriend, Tom & Caitlyn.  We love La Parilla Suiza in the Rios family!  I love to watch other people play with Ryan.  Casey, Tom, & Caitlyn always play with Ryan when they see him.  I love to see how happy Ryan makes other people.

Day 306

It's still crazy to me how my baby has been with me for over a year now.

I'm getting bad at taking pictures everyday, and even worse and updating this thing daily.  Thank goodness for backdating posts!
