Dutch Wonderland

The week before school started we went to Dutch Wonderland to celebrate Joseph Mattson's birthday (one of Austin's friends). It was lots of fun. The rides are made for littler riders, Austin could ride on all of the rides, Layla and Ryan could ride on most of them. Ryan usually didn't want to ride though. We did finally get him to ride on the airplane ride. At first he seemed to like it and was almost smiling, but the more it went around, the sadder he got. I don't think that it helped that he had to see us every time he went around. It was so sad!
We had a great day. It was a little over cast and started to rain in the afternoon. We went to the big roller coaster and the boys got to ride it ten times in a row! Everyone else was staying inside trying to keep dry. We left a couple hours early because it began pouring. We got rain day passes, so we will get to go back later this year!

Gymnastics

Layla just finished her second session of gymnastics, or maybe it is her third session. Who knows? Anyway, at the last class we have observation day when we get to watch them in action. It is very fun to see them roll and jump and spin. She was in the class with one of her little friends, Mya. Mya's little sister GG is giving Layla a hug after class. I actually think she was trying to steal Layla's ribbon...

Jason's party

For whatever reason, these are the only pictures that I took at Jason's birthday party. Maybe because there were a ton of people there...mostly dads and kids, so I was distracted from the photography job!

Obi-wan and Anikan

Austin is obsessed with Star Wars and light sabers. Apparently he is passing that obsession on to his little Jedi brother.

Austin's Drawings

My friend recently put a post with her daughter's drawings. They were impressive. I realized that Austin also has some pretty incredible drawings and I wanted to share them with you all!

The top picture is me at work. There is a street that drives in front of the hospital, a person in a wheelchair, and that is me upstairs walking around. The doors withs the arrows are the elevators.

The next picture is Jason at work. Outside is Austin's go-kart. Jason is under a car. The other thing outside of the shop is Jason's new airconditioning fixit machine.

Ryan

Yesterday Ryan turned 18months old!! So today was his first day in nursery. I know he didn't spend the entire two hours in there, but he was not with us. Ryan has a very good friend at church...Brother Oh...we gave him to Brother Oh and He took Ryan to nursery. When Ryan got fussy, Brother Oh brought him out and walked with him in the hallway. It was great. Sister Oh is one of Ryan's nursery leaders.
On a side note, last Thursday when we went to visit Michelle in Ft Meade, I forgot to take any diapers with me. When it was time to leave I borrowed one of her baby's diapers that are too big, they are size 1, 8-14pounds. The pictures are when Ryan is wearing that diaper. I had to use of nursing tape to tape the diaper together. You can see it is a low rise diaper! Thank fully he only peed once in it, I don't think it would have held much more than that!
