The End of Year One

Thought that is was about time to update the blog again. :)  Ryley officially finished up his first year of medical school on Friday, and starts his internship with the VA hospital on Monday.  Yeah!  We are so proud of him!  

Here is some of what we have been up to the past month:

The morning of Ry's 26th birthday we ran a 5k part of a triathlon for the  4th Street Clinic.  Ry volunteers at this clinic for the homeless on Saturdays and helped to organize the triathlon.  Logan was a trooper, and stayed in his stroller for the whole thing!  Next year we hope to be able to do the whole triathlon.

Logie has figured out how to take his arms out of his shirt.  And how to get his arms out of his car-seat.  Naughty little thing.  Don't you just love his ragamuffin hairdo here? ;)

Most amazingly delicious cake ever.
Yeah for Birthdays!

My sweet husband is 26 years old!  This was the 5th birthday of his that we've celebrated together.  I love this man with all of my heart, and thank the heavens every single day that we are married for time and all eternity.  I am so grateful for the love he shows Logan and me every day.  I never have to question who or what comes first to him.  We fall more and more in love every day... and we still haven't figured out why people say marriage is hard.  It's the most fun thing either of us has ever done! :)

Logan got stuck while trying to climb up onto his high chair to get to the egg coloring stuff. :)

At the end of this fiasco all of us were dyed varying colors and we had a total of 2 eggs that were not broken.

Our sweet little man. :)  He makes me so happy every time I see his little face. :)  He is growing up so fast!  When he wakes up from his nap he now yells, "Peekaboo!" until I come get him.  Logan also loves to read stories, and knows some of them by heart, so he can read them to me!  He can use a fork and a spoon now, and is always trying to feed us his food. :)  He's always skipping around the house, bouncing off the walls, and destroying everything I am constantly trying to make look nice.  The other day I went to the mall.. got all dressed up, tried to look put together.  The whole time I spent dragging Logan out of clothes stands, putting back things he tore off of shelves, chasing him across stores. Needless to say, I did not look put together by the end of the trip.  This little boy has completely turned my life upside down, and I am so glad!  I wouldn't have it any other way.    

He's a tree hugger!

On Mother's Day, being chased by dad right after church.  We also found out this month that Ryley's brother Chad and his wife Chelsey are having a little girl!  Logan is going to be surrounded by little girl cousins. :)

He loved my Mickey pajama pants so much that he made me take them off and put them on him.  He was only satisfied when they were pulled all the way up to his neck.  Silly little man.

Our boy loves his olives!
