Happy Birthday Ryann!

Ryann turned one year old on June 29, 2010. We were at Bear Lake with the Binghams. So we had a fun day celebrating her birthday with family. We have the tradition to wake the birthday kid up by singing happy birthday to them. Well...we sang and Ryann didn't wake up. ha!

We brought up Ryann's presents from home.

She looks so old in these pictures!

She had a singing princess card.

Having fun in her new princess ball pit.

We went boating. What a cute flag girl!

We have a tradition to go to Bear Lake pizza. It's always super fun.

Me-ma Bingham gave the kids some quarters to ride the fun rides. Ryann LOVED the carrousel.

The boys had a lot of fun.

We took Ryann in for her one year check up in July and here are her stats:  weight 16.9 lbs( 4.5%), Length 28.3 inches (30%),  Head Circumference 17.7 inches (40%)
 Ryann is a tiny little thing. The doctor thinks she will get even smaller now that she is walking cuz she will burn even more calories.  Ryann is now walking. She started walking July 18. She looks so cute and I am still having a hard time realizing that she is BIG enough to be walking. Ryann is starting to love princess books and dolls. She will go and get her curlers and her play lipstick and put them on. She lets me paint her toe nails with no problem as long as she is holding a bottle of nail polish in each hand. SHe is definitely spunky! She will let you know when she is unhappy. She has 10 teeth and she will use them ...on her brothers. She is not picky with food and will try anything. We love Ryann and she has brought so much joy to our life.  Happy birthday girl!

California Adventure

On Friday, we went to California Adventure. It was nice because there weren't as many people there so the lines weren't as long.

There were some fun little kid rides there.

Cute little Ryann and I waited for the boys while they were on the swings. I love that smile!

My brother, Seth, Jake and me went on the California Screamer. Lets just say they don't call it the California Screamer for nothing. This is the picture they took of us while we were on the ride. Woah! That was scary!

There were lots of fun characters there.

Jake took the boys on the tower of terror. They loved it!

Th e new toy story ride was so cool!

We went on the ferris wheel. This was the scariest ferris wheel I have ever been on. I guess we went in the swinging line. This is the video I took while we were on the ferris wheel the first time it started to swing. I was just a little scared. ha! Okay, I hated this ride. It freaked me out!

We headed back over to Disneyland for a few more rides.

What a fun day!!!

Pirate Dinner

On Thursday, we went to the beach in the morning and then to the  Pirate play/dinner.

First, I want to thank Mary, Gary, and Mom for watching Ryann so we could go to the pirate dinner baby free. We love you guys!

Brooks was lucky enough to get picked to go on up on stage with a bunch of kids.

 Then, out of all of the kids, Brooks got picked to talk to the captain. the captain tried to get Brooks to go and get all of the coins and jewels out of his mom's purse and he said, "NO!" It was awesome!

This was SO cool and such a fun experience. The food was delicious, the etertainment was great, and what a great memory!

Sea World

We went to Sea World with Mary and her family and my parents. We were the only ones that hadn't been to Sea World before. We LOVED it. It was a nice change from Disneyland because it wasn't CrAzY busy. It was perfect!

Ha Ha! Here is Jake and Ryann on the Elmo ride. In order to ride this ride, your child has to be able to take 4 steps. Well, Ryann has been going backwards in her progression in walking. She started out doing awesome and taking 5 sometimes 6 steps. Now, we are lucky to get 2. But we fibbed a little and got her on the ride. But its so funny cuz you cant even see her little head.

There she is!

There also was a little play area for the little kids.

I love Ryann's cute smile in this picture. Ryann and Hunter have such a great friendship already!

Me-ma and Grandpa and Dylan

Shamu show! All of the shows were SO cool. I wasn't expecting much but man, they were freaking amazing and entertaining!

One of our favorite parts of Sea World was that you could buy an all day food pass for $30 and get as much food as you want, whenever you want. WE ATE SOOOOO MUCH and the food was SOOOO good. I still wish I had some of their chocolate cake.

THE KID LOVES HIS WATERMELON!!!

After eating three lunches each, ha ha, we headed to see the sharks.

Dylan was so excited to see the sharks. Ever since he saw the movie, "The Adventures of Shark Boy and Lava Girl" he LOVES sharks.

It was so cool cuz the sharks would swim right over you.

This picture is an inside joke. Right before seeing the sharks we went on a ride called Atlantis. We got Brooks and my Dad to go on the ride with us. The whole time I was telling Jake NOT to put his hands up when they take the picture during the ride because I  want to see the expression on my Dad's face. My Dad is a big talker and likes to say that this ride wont scare him at all and I wanted the picture to prove how freaked out he was during the ride. Well, Jake couldn't help himself and somehow perfectly placed his hand over my Dad's face. So now, my Dad can still say that he wasn't scared. The picture was so funny that my Dad bought it. As soon as I get it I will put it up. So now, every picture we take, someone's hand over my Dad's face.

We bought Dylan a shark and he LOVED it. He wanted me to take a lot of pictures of him and his new friend, Sharky. So you will notice that almost every picture Dylan is posing with his shark.

Dylan was scaring the other fish with his shark.

We went to the sea lion show and this guy was in it and was SO funny!

OKAY! If I could take this mirror home with me I would. It makes you look super thin. It was awesome!!!

Time to go back to the hotel. How funny is this picture?!?! Dylan is asleep and still posing with Sharky.

Sea World- What an awesome place!
