I'M BACK....FINALLY

Hi to all those that actually read my blog. I know it has been like forever since I posted last and I am really sorry. I am posting some most recent pictures on this blog and I will have posts after this one with old pictures that are dated on the correct date of which the pics were from. I just want to let you know so that you won't miss any of the pics. So sorry again for not taking the time to update the blog. Hope you enjoy!

The following 14 pictures are of some of Rhys' 2 year pictures. A local lady takes pictures out of her house and just gives you all the pictures to do what you want with them. She does a great job and there are so many more pictures that she took. I tried to upload the photoshow video, but it wouldn't cooperate.

Rhys and Daddy being silly.

Rhys got a harmonica for his birthday and he loves it. He is playing it and dancing at the same time...he is so musical and coordinated.

While at Grampa and Gramma Larson's house, Rhys took a little spill on their steps. As you can see, he got a nice bruise above his eye. You worry about kiddos on stairs when they are first learning to crawl and walk and you don't think that they will have any problems after they get those conquered, but you never know.

Rhys' 2nd Birthday

We were actually out of town on Rhys' Birthday. Ben's cousin Derek got married on his birthday. We celebrated at Ben's parents' house on that following Sunday, so Rhys got 2 birthday parties because we had his birthday party at home on the next Saturday.

Taking a look at some of his birthday books.

Grampa and Gramma Larson got Rhys a wagon and he was helping put it together. He absolutely loves tools.

What you lookin' at?

Rhys' B-day Party at home. We had a monkey theme, because we call Rhys our little monkey - fits him perfectly.
All the little partygoers in their party hats - Cousin Tyler, Cousin Kylie, Friend Aubree and Rhys.

Diggin' In!

Papa and Nana got him a Hot Wheels tricycle and it has a lot of great sounds.
I actually made him 2 monkey cakes - one chocolate and one white. They even turned out good. Mom did help, but they were my idea and I did the majority of the work. I was very proud of myself. Aren't they cute!

Dad had the camera for the next two pictures. They both would have been good pics if he wouldn't have cut off our heads. Oh well.

Yummy Cake!

This pinata was a lot of fun! You had to pull all the ribbons out for the candle to come out. It is not as dangerous and aggressive as a regular pinata. The kids loved it. :)

The kids are checking out all the loot. Not too sure if it is OK to take or not.

Rhys is riding his tricycle the next morning. He couldn't wait to ride it. He was so excited and loved it!
