Happy Day, It's May!

Every time Addie gets a gift, Ayson says "Happy Day, a present!" The week was warmer than the end of April and we spent as much time outdoors as possible, so Happy May! Addie is doing well. She is starting to coo and "talk" more during her quite alert periods. Ayson is going non-stop and never is without a question such as "what is this?" And Mommy and Daddy are just trying to keep up with the kids. Granted, Mommy firmly believes that if she slept 10 hrs each night and also took a 2 hr nap each day that she could keep up with ANY kid :)

Look how big our Baby Doll is getting!

Addie making faces and cooing at the mobile and her reflection.

Ayson playing in his barn on Wednesday. It's more of a tight fit these days! Ayson: "Mumma, close the doors!"

Hello!

Kisses! Actually, Ayson is stingy with kisses (but he gives great hugs) and this picture is of him making the "moo" sound for the cows that live in his barn. So this picture is for Grandpa Roger, who complains about Ayson's stingy kisses :)

One of the cute outfits from Uncle Doug, Aunt Josie, and the boys. Such a precious baby doll!

Daddy chatting with Addie. I was standing in the kitchen, on the other side of the counter so I was using the zoom and that must be the reason for Addie's glowing eyes.

Ayson was a good boy this week (no hitting, biting, or kicking Daddy...a phase we hope is fleeting) so he got to go on a tractor ride!

Ayson "driving"

Grandpa Chuck came over for the weekend to spend time with the grand kids. Ayson had a blast with Grandpa and wore poor Grandpa out! Three generations of Ryans standing in front of Daddy's Char-Griller Trio smoker.

On Saturday night, Daddy told Mommy "come outside after you put Addie to bed because Dad and I are going to light the chiminea." When Mommy finally went outside, the chiminea was going but the huge bonfire at the neighbors house was stealing the shows and the boys (as the bigger fire drew all the boys to the flame)!

You can just barely make out Daddy and Grandpa near the bottom left of the picture...this was a huge bonfire!
