Ry Loves...

Washing his hands (he'd do it a million times a day if I let him!) and brushing his teeth! All by himself of course :)

I was in his bedroom grabbing jammies before bath time and this is what I saw when I got back to the bathroom!

He had pulled the stepladder over, placed his binky on the shelf, turned on the water, grabbed his toothbrush and started brushing away!

And yes... the teeth had to be brushed after the bath too!

He was so proud of himself!

A few pictures...

Of my handsome man!!

and brother loves :)

Such a sweetie! Crazy that the b.o.b. doesn't even look real in this picture - it looks more like a pillow!

Nearly 36 weeks!

Can't believe how fast the pregnancy has flown - little booger will be here before we know it!

Super Fun!

We checked out a new park out in town with some friends today and goodness it was fun!

They had a really tall and long roller slide that we couldn't peel the boys away from!

Ry had a super fun time with his buddy Andrew!

The moms took turn going down with the boys, but eventually we just let them go by themselves - I think I went down about 6 times myself!

Ryan and Mommy! Where were these slides when I was a kid?!?

No park experience would be complete without a drink from the fountain! Ry likes to try and blow bubbles in the water too - goofball!

Just Call Me Shades!

Well, i've been trying forever to get Ry to wear sunglasses to protect his eyes in the sun... and these are the only one's that have lasted more than a couple seconds on his head!

He wears them everywhere! In the car, running errands...

First thing in the morning when playing with his legos...

Even chilling on the couch :)

33.5 weeks - yikes!

Well I had a request for a picture of my 'wicked huge' belly, so here is my b.o.b. at 33.5 weeks!

Pool Day!

Well we finally had a one-day break in Japan's rainy season so we headed to the pool!

So cute in his swim trunks!!!

He wasn't too sure about the water, but it was better than the indoor swim lessons!

By the time we left he was walking around and blowing bubbles in the water!

Our 2nd 4th of July in Japan!

We headed down to the base field to listen to music and watch fireworks with our friends!

Here is Ry checking out our place on the lawn. His buddy Andrew is lounging behind him :)

Mommy and her sweet boy!

Ryan and his buddies had a great time playing with beach balls - they were actually part of the favors from his party - they were a hit!

Yay America!!

Buddies having fun :)

All the kiddos together! McKenzie, Micah, Maddie, Ry, and Andrew :) It's so fun knowing they will be growing up together for the next couple years!

There were a few Japanese guys that came over to play with the kids and take pictures with them - this guy was trying to get Ryan to do the peace sign - he got pretty close!

Mommy and Ry watching the fireworks - he LOVED them this year too! Lots of oooo's and pointing :)

It lasted about 5 or 6 songs, and was overall a really great show! Can't wait for next year!

Sweet Man :)
