Fire Banquet & Water Hammer

Here are some pictures from Ryan's annual firefighter banquet. We had a great time. There is always amazing tri-tip and cheesecake! We got to hear the band Water Hammer play. I included a little clip below.

Little Artist

Hannah loves to paint. She felt she needed to share her talent with Jack.........can't turn my back for a second!












Jack at 3mos

I cannot believe that Jack is over 3 mos already! He is reallly changing and growing! He talks and smiles all day long. It's hard to be frustrated at 3:30am when you look at him and he just beams at you. As you can also see, it's easy to get a photo of him smiling...






Mother's Day

We had a nice Mother's Day though were missing our mom due to her being under the weather. It wasn't the same without her but Kristin and I were able to enjoy brunch with our families together. We had brunch at Anthony's on the water.

Picture & Update

Things are crazy busy around here! Jack is a non-sleeper. How Ryan and I could create children who resist sleep so strongly is beyond me. Lately, he's been up all day and powering through the night, but I'm sure that as I write this I'm jinxing us. He's talking a ton and Hannah is really enjoying his company. She wants to sit and talk with him all day long, watch cartoons with him, play with him. Hannah is an incredible helper and "little mommy". She spends a lot of time role-playing with her dolls and copying what Mommy says and does. We're looking forward to the weather getting nicer so we can spend more time outside. Hannah is really climbing these days. We've enrolled her into a gymnastics program that starts next month and really looking forward to her furthering her abilities -- and channeling her energy into something specific. Her favorite phrase these days is "I wanna do sum'thin' else." It's a little trying to keep her stimulated and also engage Jack when he's up all day long. One thing is for sure, these kids are SO different! Hannah was a polar opposite of Jack at this stage. It's fun to see them grow and change. Jack had a few words to share -- enjoy this clip.

Hannah Sings

A little late, but check out this video of Hannah singing to her little bro when he was 3 weeks old.
