Well, it certainly was a beautiful day for a party at the park. A bit windy (40 mph) but nonetheless, quite fun. We were very excited to have lots of family and friends join us to celebrate.

Here is a link to all the photos from the party... so enjoy!

Thank you to everyone for all the gifts! Ryche will be sending out his thank you cards soon...

RYCHE TURNS 2!!!!!

Ryche's birthday is April 14th, but with cousin Jamie getting married to her love, David, the same day, we are having his party on April 21st. I have had a lot of friends and family already ask what the little stinker wants... realizing he has more toys than he has time to play with... I decided to come up with a list of IDEAS.

Ryche does NOT expect gifts and just wants his family and friends to have some birthday treats at his Construction themed birthday party in the park. However, if you feel the need to bring him a little something, here are some ideas:

Magna Doodle- small one for the car (unfortunately, the one he received from Aunt Dana for Christmas got broke and he loves to play with it!)
Magna Doodle- larger one for inside play
Picnic Table
Toybox- for outdoors
Toddler Swing for outside
Play sprinkler
Teeter Totter (like the Little Tykes style)
Toddler Basketball Goal
Lap Table (saw these at Target... to do art, eat, etc)
Clothing- size 3T
Hot Wheels... loves the things! (We're still trying to find the garage that folds in half to carry like Uncle Jimmy had growing up!)
Car Coupe
Sandbox /Sand Toys
Mr Potato Head
Toddler size table/chairs
Books- board book style... he LOVES to read


He also likes blocks (he has a bag of big legos), Elmo and trains. He also enjoys reading and being rotten :) !!

We hope you can join us on Saturday, April 21st, for Ryche's bday. You should have your invitation soon!! Hope to see you all there!!

This is a blog to keep everyone around the country updated on our crazy lives in the Midwest. We are all doing pretty well. Jordan is now 11 (turns 12 in August- unbelievable) and Ryche turns the big 2 in April.

Above is the most recent picture of them together... time to take more! You would think with their mother being a photographer there would be photos ALL THE TIME! Hmmm, another post perhaps.
