She's BAAAAAACK!

Ok so its been a little over a week but Breanna is back and had a GREAT time! In my opinion they did entirely way too much with these kids in the 3.5 days (techcnically) they were there.

She also did not get to take very many pictures, apparently they only wanted 1 student per group to take pictures so the others could pay attention and "take it all in". Then they are suppose to share, which we are still waiting for.

She had fun, she saw a lot, all in all great trip for her!! Oh and yes, mom is still jealous . . papa too!

Someone is full of himself

So last night Ryan was in rare form and I was able to capture this quick little video of him . . .





I am still waiting to get him doing his "No, No, No" head shake. Every time he is doing it and I grab the camera he stops . . . clearly he knows I'm trying to capture it.

DC Bound

My baby girl is on her first big trip without us! She left Tuesday morning, bright and early at 3AM to DC with about 30 other classmates, I think there was 45 total including adults.

This is such an awesome opportunity for her I am extremely jealous and proud of her to be able to get this experience. Some of the things she will be visiting include:

Colonial Williamsburg
Jamestown Settlement
Ghost Tour at the W & M President's House
Mt. Vernon - Home of George Washington
National Archives
National Cathedral
Washington Monument
World War II Memorial
Kennedy Center
US Capitol Visitor Tour
Library of Congress - Supreme Court (VERY jealous of this one!)
US Airforce Memorial
Iwo Jima Marine Memorial
Arlington National Cemetery - Kennedy Gravesites - Tomb of the Unknown Soldier - Changing of the Guard
Lincoln - Korean - Vietnam Memorial
Fords Theater
Holocaust Museum
Smithsonian Air & Space Museum
Museum of American History - Natural History Museum


All of that, and more over the course of 4 days! I have a feeling I will have one EXTREMELY exhausted child come Sunday. She gets home Saturday night around 10:30 and I'm sure she will be ready to hit her bed hard. I've gotten a few texts from her and she is having a good time so that is a relief!

Miss her already!!!

Easter

A few days late but HAPPY EASTER . . . or as I like to say HAPPY BUNNY DAY!

We had a very mellow day, including spending the ENTIRE day in our jammies! It was WONDERFUL!!! Here are a few pics of the kids . . . enjoy . . .

Ryan says "OOOH That looks like fun!"


Brea & Ryan dying eggs - ok really Brea but Ryan was there too . . .

Spring is here!

Although this week we are suppose to get some rain, it is clear that spring is here. Sniffly noses, itchy eyes. . . aww the fun of allergies! Oh and don't forget baseball season too.

I also believe that Ryan is going through a growh spurt and most likely teething. Or maybe its the joy of daylight savings time that is messing him up. All I know is that whatever is causing him to wake up 2-3 times a night lately needs to go away! We discovered this weekend we have a sitter! Although still a bit wobbly after sitting for a few seconds/minutes he is getting the hang of it. Ryan sported his first A's shirt and cap this weekend and was just too cute to not get a couple of pictures.
