<br />
Happy Birthday, sweet boy. You are five whole years old today (well not officially until 5:45pm). Everyone told me that you would grow up super-fast but I really had no idea just how fast they meant. Five is super-big. Five is a whole hand worth of fingers! Five means you are a big kid now, it means that Kindergarden is only a blink away, it means you aren't a baby anymore.<br />
At 5, your favorite things are: the color red, playing Super Mario Brothers on the Wii, riding your bike, hitting the baseball and coming into our bed early every morning for cuddles. You are an early riser and you go to be easier than anyone in this house. You still love your monkey and new blanket and need them with you to sleep. You dislike eating meat (except for chicken nuggets and deli meat), turning off Mario, trying new things and drawing. You love to play board games and love to win. You are learning that it is ok not to win too though. You say you want to be a fireman when you grow up because they rescue people and help others. I am so proud of you, Ryan, so very proud of you!<br />
The night before we brought you home from the hospital, I was overwhelmed with so many feelings. I was worried about possibly messing up or failing you in some way. There you were tiny and new and it was our responsibility to protect you, shape you, teach you right from wrong and raise you to be a Godly man. Since I am with you mostly all day, it is my responsibility to choose the right things for you, expose you to the world and teach you to be an honest, caring and good human being. There are times that you may think that things aren't fair or that I am being to tough on you but that is only because I know you can do things. Even when you think you can't, I know you can! Ryan, you are such a good boy. You are honest. You are so very kind. You have the biggest heart and you love everyone. You are gentle and you listen to us most of the time. You are super silly and a little clumsy but that is what makes you you! You have the purest heart, you love to cuddle and you have the most optimistic outlook on everything. You have so much patience with your brother and sister. You set a great example for them. I hope that you always love them this much. I hope that you always call Owen your best friend and I hope that you always feel the need to watch over and protect your sister. <br />
Thank you, Ryan for making me a Mom. That is the greatest gift I have ever received. Thank you for allowing me to see life through your eyes. Thank you for showing me the magic in life and for helping me remember to slow down. Thank you for your unconditional love. Thank you for telling me that you will always be my baby, even when you are grown and you are bigger than me. Know that no matter how big you are, how near or close you are that you are always, always my baby, my first baby. <br />
<br />
I love you the most Ryan, more than a billion, more than infinity, the most.<br />
<br />
Love,<br />
Mommy<br />

This past summer we decided to take a trip up to Dutch Wonderland on a total whim. The Mr.'s Parents were in town visiting and we thought it would be fun to go do something special with the kiddos. Luckily, the hotel our kids love had availability! We loaded up the van and hit the road. The kids had a fantastic time. The boys were mostly interested in the water park and riding a handful of rides. Little Brother got his face painted to look like Batman. He was so excited about getting his face painted and sat so, so still the entire time. </div>

Wow the shorts and flip-flops in these pictures make me miss the warm weather! The boys were SO excited to start back to school this past fall. Big Brother was starting Pre-K and his 3rd year at his school. Several of his classmates have been with him throughout each preschool class. He attends school 4 days a week this year for a few hours each day. I have realized with him gone 4 mornings that I am going to be an emotional mess when he is gone to school every single day. He likes to remind me almost daily that he will ride the big bus to school next year to Kindergarden. Slow down time. Slow down! </div>

Little Brother absolutely loves school. He adores his teachers. I think that he would probably bring them home if he could. He has made friends with everyone in his class (he is obviously my outgoing, social one). He had a girlfriend after the first day. Here we are 5 months later and the little girl's Dad came up and introduced himself to me one day as his daughter talks about Little Bro all the time! ha!!! With the boys current career aspirations, it looks like college may not be in the cards. ;)</div>

This was hard. I am not going to even guess how many photos I took in 2012. I know it was over 10,000. I weeded those down to around 3000 or so that were actually "keepers". I tried to narrow those down to a manageable number to add to our yearly photo book. I think I was able to get it down to around 700. Then I tried to narrow it down even further for the blog...so here are my favorites from 2012. Some of these are from my fancy camera, some from my phone. None are edited. All are perfect pictures of a year that was, perhaps, the greatest of my life thus far. </div>

We were with so many of my wonderful family members. My boys had been given their first cowboy hats by one of my favorite cousins ever. Big brother was FILTHY dirty with some sort of Kool-Aid or Gatorade or who knows what mustache. This picture is pure joy to me. We were in the country with nothing to do and my kids had a BLAST! </span></td></tr>

We went swimming at my cousin's house. Little Brother hasn't been around dogs a whole lot in his life. He was very interested in her dogs but very cautious. Towards the end of the pool party, the boys had a popsicle. Little Brother was SO concerned with the dog and making sure the dog didn't get a bite. :) There is something so pure and moving about this image to me though. </div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: small; text-align: start;">We went to Disney for a week this year. For the first 3 or so days this little boy refused to ride any rides at all because he was scared. Then one night he worked up the courage to ride Dumbo the Flying Elephant. He was SO proud of himself. I think that my heart almost burst right out of my chest when I saw his huge grin after the ride was over. This is easily my favorite picture of the Disney trip and possibly my favorite image of the year. Watching your child overcome a fear, learn that they can trust you...it is amazing. This picture is about so much more than riding a ride at an amusement park to me. </span></td></tr>

Plain and simple...I just love this picture. The boys love this jeep. They started a thing this summer of driving with their feet. They also find any random kids at the playground, hop in the jeep and dream up some crazy destination to go to. Then all of the kids jump out and run around the playground, hop back in the jeep and drive off to another fun-filled destination. </div>

This is probably tied for the number one spot. We had such a fantastic time at Disney this year. This picture of Big Brother playing in the water feature at our hotel is just perfect. He wasn't posing, he was running around the place like crazy and having the best time ever. Somehow I lucked out and got this shot. If you look closely, you will see other people in my little family too. :) </span></td></tr>

I use the term eating lightly because pretty much the only thing she was doing was throwing food on the floor (another favorite activity of hers). There are A LOT of similar images here, but they were all so wonderful and capture her just the way she is. She is such a delight, so full of joy and yet serious at the same time. <br />

Climbing into the chair by the computer is probably Sister's favorite thing to do right now. She loves banging on the keyboard or tossing the mouse around a little bit. I would venture to guess that I have to make her get down at least 20 times a day. She is non-stop. I think I need more places to put the boys artwork. My fridge is looking a bit crowded! and...look at all that hair my bald baby is getting!!!</div>

Yesterday Little Brother toted around a Gymboree sack for hours. It was his "shopping bag". He would grab Sister's baby and stroller and zip around the house shopping at various locations, adding to his bag along the way. Him "shopping" around the house yesterday made me realize even more that my kids are always watching everything I do. They are seeing it all and taking it all in...the good, the not so good, they are learning and everything that we do is shaping who they will become. </div>

and a bit later, this common occurrence. Little Sister is a CLIMBER. I never believed people that told me their child climbed everything. How? She does. She climbs on top of the kitchen table, the counter, the toilet, the bunk beds...everything. She is quick. She is agile. She is determined. Oh and she didn't use anything for a boost to get over that couch. She just wanted to get over it and she did.<br />

I am not going to commit to doing a 365 project with my photography this year. But I am going to commit to using my camera, taking everyday pictures of my kids, actually editing them and trying to document our lives! For the past few days, this little boy has been wanting to get into his sister's bed when she wakes up from nap. On this particular day they read a story together, jumped in the bed together and then little brother posed for a few shots for me. <br />
<br />
The blue sheet on Sister's bed? Well, that is just the color that was clean when I needed a fresh sheet. She doesn't mind. ;)<br />

today was kind of sort of not so fun. Today my oldest baby told me that he didn't want to go to school because it was so much more fun to be at home playing with Mommy and Daddy. :) We pressed on...got back to school. on time. and I had to stop for gas. impressive! </div>

The Mr. and I had the past 11 days off together. In those 11 days, I cannot tell you how many times I thanked God for putting me and the Mr. together. So many times I would hear him and the kids laughing together and the biggest smile would come over my face. I am married to an incredible man. We have amazing kids. Every day might not be perfect but those imperfect days make for one truly magical life that we have together. <br />

This December was amazing. We had my dad in town for Christmas. The week before that, Jeff's parents were here and the week before that, my brother and Molly. To say that December was a fantastic month would be a complete understatement! We thoroughly enjoyed each visitor we had in our home. We made memories that will last a lifetime. <br />
<br />
To anyone that came to visit us, Thank YOU!!! Thank you for taking time out of your life to spend time with us. Photos and recaps to come!<br />

I am trying to use my real camera more and my phone camera less. I can't quite commit to a 365 project, but I am committing to weekly blogging! I hope to catch up on some of the highlights I missed in 2012 and document the dailies of life in 2013. <div>

Halloween this year was fantastic. The boys were so into it and wanted to trick or treat for quite a while. Emily even seemed to really enjoy it as well! We did our usual, our street then a few houses on another street. After that we came back to the house and the kids had a BLAST handing out candies to all of the other trick or treaters. The boys would anxiously sit looking out the window for another trick or treater. Ryan was stingy with the candies while Owen would give them a half-dozen pieces at least. :) </div>

I asked him why they were his favorites, even though I was fairly certain of the answer. Texas, obvious. Florida, for Mickey and Disney World and Pennsylvania for Dutch Wonderland. I asked him which was his very favorite of all and he said Texas without hesitation. Then I asked him where was the state he lived in? He said well, I don't really like that state so much. :/</div>

Yesterday the kids had to get the flu shot. The boys were getting flu mist in the nose and Emily a regular shot. When we were getting ready to get in the car, Owen decided to shout across the street to his neighbor friend, "We are going to get shit in the nose!!!!" It was hilarious, I did video him saying that later. </div>

Then on June 6th, it hit Ryan. We wound up making a trip to the ER the following day. That day just so happened to be our 10th wedding anniversary. No better place to celebrate than the ER. Jeff stayed home with the littles and I found myself feeling more and more ill by the minute. fun. </div>

A few nights later and me still not feeling well at all, we celebrated our anniversary in DC. We changed our mind about 10 times on where we would go. We decided to stay local since Emily was just not ready to be left for a long trip. I felt so bad that I didn't even want to get out of bed, but somehow managed to go to one very expensive dinner. I think I ate 2 bites, maybe. </div>

Little Lady forgot that she was a baby. Seriously, she climbs, she tries to jump, she started talking and well just not being a baby.<br />

These are grainy because they were taken with my phone moments before the sunset. We spent one evening running around our house catching fireflies shortly after the rains stopped. The boys loved it. I think we loved it more. :) </div>

Unfortunately, I haven't taken the pictures yet (but it is one of the 200 things on my to-do list). I wanted to get some things written down before I forgot them completely though. <br />

<br />
You are such a good boy, Ryan. You are very predictable and like to stick to your schedule. You go to bed without any issues, you do what we ask you to do (most of the time), you are independent but still love to cuddle with us. Your teachers described you as one of the most joyful children in class and said that your temperament was always the same and that you are one of the most even-keeled kids in class. You are incredibly smart. You love to sing and dance and jump around like crazy. You like to climb and you have recently become fearless. You are a VERY picky eater and rarely touch your dinner. You love to make friends and get upset when people don't say hi or good-bye or respond when you talk to them. You no longer carry monkey and new blanket around with us everywhere we go. They are now permanent fixtures in your bed. You were a breeze to night potty train. You fight with your brother quite a bit but you guys love one another so much. You love Jesus. You love school. You are such a blessing and we thank God for trusting us to be your parents. :)<br />

I can't believe my big boy is done with his second year of preschool. His school is outstanding, I honestly cannot say enough wonderful things about the school, his teachers and our experience there so far. In just a few short months, both of my boys will be in preschool. Don't tell Owen that though. He thinks he has been going to school with Ryan for at least a year. HA!</div>

On Memorial Day weekend our community pool opened. We got everyone ready (which takes forever when you have 3 little bodies to sunblock from head to toe), got our bags packed (you need about 3 huge bags full for the pool, towels, toys, floats, diapers, etc) and headed down to the pool. The boys were SO excited. Ryan loves every second of being in the water. Owen is still trying to figure it out. It is so funny to me that he is cautious in the water. He is a daredevil when it comes to everything and he is so outgoing but when it comes to the pool, he is really timid. I was expecting the worst from Emily. She has never really cared one way or the other about the bath and she isn't a huge fan of cold water so I thought the pool could go horribly wrong. Much to my surprise she LOVED it. She didn't get mad until it was time to get out. She discovered a love for the water and has really gotten into bathing as a result. She will crawl into the bathroom and go to the tub, pull up and start squealing and jumping up and down when she wants to play in the water now. Her little personality grows every single day. :) </div>
