I LOVE that my boys do so well with pictures. It must be that I take them all the time :)

Rykers first tubbie!!

 He wasn't too excited about his first tubbie.

He's a lot like his mommy, he doesn't like to be cold :)

Some pictures of Ryker

Welcome Home Ryker!

Well, Ryker decided to come to us a little early. I guess he takes after his brothers that way. I started having contractions on Saturday April 2nd. He was barely 35 weeks at that point, so they gave me the medicine to stop the contractions. Luckily that worked. But he really wanted to come and meet his brothers I guess cause the next Thursday April 7th I started having contractions again. We went to the hospital at about 6:30 and he was here by 10:20. Easier labor I've ever had!! Pushed once and he was here. Unfortunately like his brothers he had trouble breathing. So they had to give him the cerfactin in his lungs to help him out. It was really tough on the boys, especially Peyton. He was so sad. All he kept saying was, "I want to kiss Ryker, I want to hug Ryker". It was really cute! One day the nurses let us carry him to the regular nursery window so the boys could look at him through the glass. From then on thats all Peyton wanted to do, "See baby Ryker through glass today?" He had to stay 1 week in the NICU but now he is home and being loved by his brothers.

Colbys 6th Pirate Birthday Party

Colby decided he wanted a pirate birthday this year... he invited a bunch of friends and had a blast!

He was excited for all his friends to come but he especially wanted Joe from school to come. And he wanted him to buy him a webkinz. I was a little nervous because his mom nevered RSVPd and that was all Colby could talk about..."I hope Joe comes and buys me a webkinz, mom call up Joe and see if he got my webkinz" He came!! And even bought him a webkinz, it made Colbys day!

After presents we played a couple of pirate games and then did a treasure hunt. Let me say this...it was INSANE!!! It was like a Chinese fire drill. 15 kids all running around trying to find clues, put the treasures in their treasure boxes. Then the boxes bottoms kept popping out so I tried to stop all the kids so I could tape them but they were too busy just running around being crazy. Colby enjoyed it though so I guess it was worth it.

The final treasure they found was a treasure box pinata full of candy of course! Can't really see the basketball hoop here but that was our present to Colby :)

I made cupcakes this year, normally I buy them but figured this way was cheaper and the kids don't really care anyways. They were just green (Colby's favorite color) with pirate rings on top, not sure why I didn't get a picture of them?
