MY MOMS 47TH BIRTHDAY

I went up to Placerville for my moms birthday. Ryan had to work....Agian. Before I start driving up there, I get a phone call from Ryan telling me instead of driving up there later, the guys are just going to drop him off! Woo Hoo! Thats a way to save gas money. (For all of you that dont know, my husband is in the army & works on the black hawk helicopters) I called my parents & told them they better get dressed, Ryan will probably beat me up there. They asked why/how. I told them Ry is getting dropped off via helicopter. This is how the day started for my mom. She was so stinkin' excited.
My mom did not want a cake. She loves cookies so thats what we got her; one giant cookie. She got some presents & mostly loved the ring that my dad got for her. (my sis & I picked it out). We had a BBQ & hung out in the beautiful mountains. It couldnt have been a better day! I think she enjoyed it.

COUSINS HANGING OUT

MY COUSIN, STEPHANIE, & HER SON, WYATT, CAME INTO TOWN TO VISIT. THE KIDS LOVE EACHOTHER. QUEN IS IN THE 'I LOVE EVERYONE' STAGE. SO, HE JUST RANDOMLY GIVES KISSES! BUT, IT LOOKS LIKE HE IS TRYING TO EAT HIS COUSINS FACE! SO FUNNY! THEY ARE ONLY 10 DAYS APART. THEY WILL BE GREAT FRIENDS WHEN THEY GET A LIL' BIT OLDER. IT WAS NICE TO SEE THEM!


WHAT ARE THEY LOOKING AT?

SWIMMING

I HAVE BEEN TAKING QUEN SWIMMING A LOT LATELY. HE IS HAVING SURGERY AGAIN SOON & I DONT KNOW WHEN WE CAN GO BACK INTO THE WATER. SO WE HAVE BEEN TAKING ADVANTAGE OF IT! WHEN Q GETS INTO THE POOL HE IS VERY UNSURE ABOUT IT @ FIRST. CLINGING ON TO ME... THEN, HE DECIDES ITS NOT TOO BAD. AND WHEN AUNT RACHEL IS PLAYING WITH HIM TOO ITS EVEN BETTER!

NOT TOO HAPPY ABOUT THIS WATER THING

Q~BALL IS WALKING

QUEN STARTED WALKING IN MAY @ 10 MONTHS OLD. CRAZY! NOW ITS THE MIDDLE OF JUNE & I SWEAR HE IS LIKE A LIL' TORNADO DISTROYING EVERYTHING IN HIS PATH. THE LIL' BUGGER JUST MOVES AROUND LIKE ITS NO BIG DEAL! HE CHASES ME AROUND THE HOUSE YELLING "MOM! MOM!" ITS SO FUNNY. HE STILL DOESNT CRAWL. FOR ALL OF THOSE THAT HAS A CHILD THAT DOESNT, WONT,OR JUST CANT CRAWL, THEY WILL BE MOVING AROUND WITH NO PROBLEM AT ALL SOON ENOUGH... DONT FRET! :)

ZIP ZIP ZIPPING

SO, FOR OUR ANNIVERSARY WE WENT ZIP LINING! OF COURSE I WASNT NERVOUS.... THEN, I GOT TO THE TOP OF WHERE WE FIRST START ZIPPING & BAM..... I GOT A LIL' SHAKY! SO, I WENT DOWN THE FIRST ONE & OH MY GOSH... SO MUCH FUN! THERE I WAS, READY FOR MORE! :) RYAN JUST LOVED IT TOO. HE WASNT SCARED AT ALL BUT, THEN AGAIN, HE DANGLES FROM UNDERNEATH HELICOPTERS WHILE THEY ARE FLYING. ANYWAY HERE ARE SOME PICS OF OUR ADVENTURE
