Our summer break has been so nice! Sleeping in, swimming, playdates, playing with neighboor friends, sleep overs with friends, working in the garden, going to the library, going to the movies, going to the circus, hanging out at home playing wii and board games, campouts in the living room, crafts and coloring, learning how to cook, flying rockets with daddy, celebrating fathers day! We have been keeping busy and having a blast :D
Summer did start off a little rough for the Ryan boys. The fighting and constant bickering got them in trouble the first week they were home, so we pretty much did nothing the second week, and they got to learn all over how siblings should treat each other and get back on the right path. I wanted to pull my hair out and SCREAM! It was soooo bad. I really tried to stay as calm as I could, but towards the end of the first week I lost it and out came my yells and decided at that time the boys were doing nothing and needed a little reminder. So we are good now and having an AWESOME summer without fighting and bickering (most of the time anyways).
Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks!
Our staycation at the Arizona Grand Resort. Michael surprised us all one weekend and took us there. It was a really neat place. Has 4 Waterslides, a wave pool, lazy river, and a kiddie area. If you havent been to the Arizona Resort you should check it out! Best part is its only 20 minutes away!
Jake going down this huge waterslide..It made me really nervous!
Michael going down...
This picture of the kids crack me up!
My three little loves!
My little book worm! She loves to look at books and loves it more when mommy reads to her!
(Grammy Lois this is the book that you got Jake for his first birthday and now Adysens favorite!)
Michael took boys to shoot of their rocket at Freestone Park
My little Diva! When we go out she has to have her sunglasses and neclace!
And she is a shoe freak! First thing she wants when she wakes up in the morning is her
shoes...I guess its a girl thing :D

OUR GARDEN! We are so exited about how well this garden has done.
Caden with freshly picked oakra and cucumber
Jake with corn on the cob. This corn was so good!
The rest of the vegetables we picked! Fried Okra is a favorite around here!
My little Anti-water boy (Caden) the first week of swim lessons. He cried and did not want to get into the water. I still made him sit with his class and watch and after the second day....
I cannot get him out of the water! He has done such a great job! He is swimming on his own now across the pool!
Jake has done fantastic in swim lessons and now has graduated to a FROG!
Fathers Day!
The boys and I made this cute baseball basket for Michael!
We filled it with a baseball jersey (Steven Drew) peanuts, cracker jax, and a cute frame the boys and Adysen colored).
I couldn't have asked for a better husband or father for our children! He is definatley one of a kind and we love him so much!
