It's all fun and games until...

...somebody pokes their eye out. Yesterday we went to Theoren's 10th birthday party and Ryan decided to brave the bounce house for the first time. I had been trying to convince her to go in a bounce house for the longest time, but she had always been to scared to enter one. So when she decided to bounce at the party I was thrilled. After 10 minutes of bouncing, she fell and twisted her knee. She couldn't stand on it and was limping. 5 minutes later she tried to walk to me and fell down, crashing on a table on her way down. Ryan almost poked her eye out on the corner of the table, and has a gash in her temple. Hopefully my clumsiness won't rub off on Sam also...

Arizona Aloha Festival

Last weekend we went to the Arizona Aloha Festival for the second year in a row. Ryan enjoyed lacing flowers onto string to make a lei. She really loved watching the "dancing girls" and hula dancing with them.

I can't believe that our sweet Sam is already 1 month old!

Chuck e Cheese with "my best friend EVER"

Last weekend Ryan went to Chuck e Cheese for the first time to celebrate her friend Aubrey's 3rd birthday. Ryan & I have been friends with Aubrey & her mommy Eleanor for 2 years now, but we never got a chance to play with them as I was always working. Now that i'm a stay at home mommy we are able to get together more often. Ryan recently began talking about Aubrey all the time, and calls her her "best friend EVER", shouting the word ever. Eleanor & i joke that by the time the girls are in jr. high they will actually talk to each other; currently they just hold hands and quietly play next to one another.

Happy Birthday Elmo!

A few weeks ago we went to Border's for a Birthday celebration for Elmo. Being that Ryan's favorite character of all time is Elmo, we had to go celebrate!

Love is...
