Bath time fun and more...

Casey has grown to really LOVE bath time, as you can tell. He gets really excited when he is standing by the tub waiting to get in. He is almost impatient. :) There are quite a few pics here mainly because I like all of the different expressions on the boys faces.

Oh, so happy.

So much for trying to get both boys to smile at the same time.

Casey enjoys carrying things around in his mouth these days without the use of his hands. He recently discovered that this frog fit in there quite nicely. I also like Ryan's face in the background.

Monkey see monkey do. It didn't take very much coaxing for Ryan to join in on the fun.

I think Ryan is growling or Rarrrring (as he calls it).

Another cute expression of Casey's, during this time Ryan kept trying to grab the frog and put it back in Casey's mouth.

This is typically what I get when I ask Ryan to sit by Casey trying to quickly catch a cute moment. Ryan is in position and then Casey sees the camera and makes a mad dash for it.

Now I think he's just trying to get away from Ryan, such a loving brother-most of the time. A few days ago Casey was playing with one of DVD cases that Ryan was playing with, Ryan likes to line them up and then pick them up and do it all over again, Ryan apparently wasn't too keen on sharing and proceeded to walk up, pull Casey's hair and say "No Casey, don't touch." :)

This is Casey's new favorite location. Since he likes to spend quite a bit of time here, he has discovered all of the buttons. Just in case you don't recognize the picture on the screen it's "The Incredibles," A current favorite of Ryans.

Singing Time

Ryan LOVES letters. He loves his ABCs and goes through all of the letters and all of their sounds at LEAST 3-4 times a day. If your child needs to learn the ABCs I highly recommend the video "The Letter Factory" by Leap Frog. Ryan has been able to recognize all of his letters, upper and lower case, since his 2nd birthday and it's all because of the TV. :)
So now he has added singing the ABCs to his list. And he can never sing them just once, it usually comes in sets of 3. When he first started singing this song it sounded like he was singing "Ryan know my ABCs" instead of "Now I know my...". He has also recently omitted the letter K. I try to correct him, but he gives me the "No, No, No," that you'll see in the video. Enjoy!

Goin' to the Temple.....

Meet the newest member of our Family, Jamie Lee . Not to be confused with the Jamie Leigh that my cousin Jason married last year on my birthday. As previously mentioned we flew out to the east coast for the occasion and had a great time. Although J.D. and Jamie make a very cute couple and both looked beautiful (and handsome) on their day, there just might have been another little pair that occasionally stole the spotlight.

All together now.....AHHHHHH!! They were so good at the reception. One activity that they did for at least an hour was walk around holding hands. We would tell them to go find the Christmas Trees, or Grandma, or Daddy and off they went hand in hand. They could have cared less if we were following them, they were in their own little world. Their little activity of holding hands worked out just fine as long as they were equal partners. If Ryan would start to pull Payton to go this way or that way Payton wouldn't have anything to do with it and would start to resist. We tried to get a video of Payton and Ryan (the mini bride and groom) walking down the hallway in front of J.D. and Jamie but by that time the novelty had worn off.

And who could forget about Casey. The tuxedo shop didn't carry Casey's size, but he's still as adorable as ever.

Here's our little stud. It's the exact tuxedo that everyone else was wearing, cuff links and all. I think he enjoyed wearing it. The shoulder pads in his jacket were huge. When we buttoned Ryan's jacket it was quite tight around his waist, it actually brought his jacket to a triangle around his back.

We were so proud that Payton kept the flowers in her hair. We didn't have any expectations and she blew us away. Either she forgot that they were there, or she saw Jamie's nieces wearing them and decided to keep hers on to.

The greatest babysitter of the night was the dance floor. The girls were walking around and twirling in their pretty dresses and then there was Ryan pushing his cars around . At first I wasn't too happy about him crawling around on the floor in his tuxedo, so my cousin Tyler (groom's man), showed him how to kick Mater across the floor. :) And yes, my son is wearing blue socks with a black tuxedo, the one thing that I forgot to get.

I think he's up to something.

I guess he thought he could climb the wall because of the decorative "steps."

Me and my Casey.

I think the staff at the reception hall enjoyed having our group there for the reception. No alcohol was served (enough said), there were kids present (that were very entertaining), and we let them go home early. The reception was from 6-10pm but we could have stayed until 11pm. So, in true LDS fashion the place was a ghost town just after 9:30pm.
