Ryan's Birthday

It was a happy birthday for this goofy guy!

The reaction to Ryan showing his excitement... Reese: My dad is hilarious and cool. Carson: You're weird.

Started off the day with a big stack of waffles and then he headed off to work. We surprised Ryan at work with some balloons and Paul Bunion burgers.

 

Then party time!

Ry chose Macaroni Grill Chicken Milano with fried green beans and Italian sodas.

Opening presents

He finally got to wear his beloved soccer shoes that he bought for himself. I wouldn't let him wear them because he justified his buying them by telling me they were for his birthday. So I made him wait till his bday to wear them. mwahahaha!

Spankin Machine!

Didn't work out too well!

Happy birthday, Ry. Hope you had a good one!

First day...

...of preschool! It was such a night and day difference since the last time we tried preschool. Carson was actually excited and willing to go! His first week is over and he's loved every minute of it. The teacher says he's doing really well and he's a great peer. I think Reese has had a harder time adjusting than Carson. When we drop Carson off, Reese always asks why we're leaving Carson and we can't he stay too. I'll tell you though, two hours goes by quick! I feel like I barely have time to make it home before I have to turn around and pick him up. Good thing I'm lovin my minivan because I'm totally turning into a mommy chauffeur!

...(a few weeks ago) of real-life work! This had to be documented too even though it he was doing the same things he was doing the past two summers as an intern. But now he's legit! We really have to pretend that we adults now since we're done with school but have a kid in school! It's so nice to actually see real money, not just student loans, going into our bank account!

Ryan is reliving his glory days

Ryan signed up to play with Idaho Thunder. It's an adult soccer league playing 11-on-11. He hasn't played 11-on-11 since  high school so we was really excited. He says that playing on full length grass field is completely different than playing on an intramural turf field and his first game, he was pretty out of shape, but he's since gotten better and is loving it. 

He would look so much better if these were in his new soccer shoes, right Ry? :)
