Happy 1st Birthday Ry Buddy!!

I can't believe my baby is 1! This year went by so fast. I seriously LOVE babies 1st birthday's! He went crazy with his cake and was just in awe with the flame on the candle. It was so fun! He is obsessed with any kind of ball, so that is what we got him... tons of balls!

We had a little issue with his cake. I went to pick it up at Costco and it said "Happy Birthday Ryan you are not the best! (Ha, Ha) So I said WTF (in a nice way) and we looked at the paper that I had filled out and some lame person changed everything on there! They changed my last name, phone number and pick up date! Luckily they had it made just not wrapped. Anyway, they offered to fix it but I didn't have time to wait so I just said I'd try to pick it off. Then the cashier was looking at it when I was checking out and she freaked out and called a manager and they gave it to me for free! So I was pretty happy about that. It was actually kind of funny cause Talan's 1st birthday cake said "Happy Birthday Palan!" So now we just have a good story to tell for each of them. We did pick the not off of Ryan's cake though!

Oh how we love the Schwitzer's!

The Schwitzer's came down to Phoenix to visit so we went out to Oregano's with them. Paul & Kari are hilarious! I think we laughed more than we ate! It was good!

I think Talan has a new crush... which I don't mind at all! Kate is such a cutie!

Do you think Tally can even see any of them with that mop in his face?!?!

Kari and I have been friends since we were babies. I'm so glad we've kept in touch all these years.

And of course we had to get a picture of the boys with the little ones. But they didn't even fight it... they were totally enjoying it! Look how happy they are!

Thanks for hanging out Schwitzer fam... we miss you guys!

Happy Easter...

One of our favorite things to do while the weather is still nice is go to Estrella Mountain Lake. It is so pretty to sit by the water and watch the sun set and let the kids run around. So for Easter we decided to do our Easter Egg Hunt up there.

Boston, Paris, Maddy, Callie, Talan, Macy and Brooklyn

These guys have some serious Kung Fu skills! I really think Paris practices cause she had quite the moves! I was impressed!

Spencer is teaching Ryan at a young age how to kill the pigeons.

Baseball time!

We got some free tickets to see the Diamondback (thanks Kurt) and so we invited some friends to come along. Here are Mike and Spence posing for the camera.

The Bigham's

The Clark's

Ryan of course, was only obsessed with getting the balls. He was getting so frustrated, and so were the parents that wanted to stand where he was.

We were over playing at the Sandlot (aka the kids play area) and some girls asked us if we wanted our kids to sing "Take me out to the ballgame" on the jumbo-tron. I knew my kids wouldn't do it but I still volunteered them and made them stand there. Talan just hugged my leg and Maddy just stood there staring at herself. It was hilarious! Deborah and I just danced in the back with Alice and Ryan. It was pretty sweet!

Happy Birthday Spence!

We had a little family party at home with some famous Lemonade Pie.

And then we went to Ah-So with some friends. Here is Phil & Summer...

Kim & Kurt.. Kim is very excited for Kurt!

Spencer trying to catch the shrimp... I think he got it on the 5th try.

And then me... 1st try! That's right baby! I have some serious shrimp catching skills.

Then we are going to finish celebrating his birthday when the Braves come in May in the ALL YOU CAN EAT section! Doesn't get better than that! Happy 31 cutie!
