Babies and Birthdays!

What a wonderful weekend we had! The three of us hopped in the car again and headed back over the pass to Spokane to visit the fam-damily. There were two big events this past week: Mom’s birthday and the birth of Baby Ryan!

On Sunday, September 5th, Auntie Rachel, Uncle Zach and cousin Hayden welcomed Ryan Marshall Brock into their family! He and mama are doing wonderfully. He is absolutely adorable, and such a great little snuggler! They had some professional pictures taken in the hospital, and they came out really well! I stole one:

What a beautiful baby. Now that Emily is getting older, Ryan seemed so small! He’ll surely take after his big brother though, and I doubt he’ll be little for long! Congratulations again, you three. :)

The other big part of the weekend was Grandma’s birthday! We had an AWESOME dinner of steak, potatoes and veggies, and Grandpa made his famous pineapple upside-down cake. Oh, my was I full! It was delicious. Mom opened presents and we all had some good laughs. Oh yes, we’re dorks.

The gang’s all here! Well, except for Zach the camera man.

Baby Ryan. See, Emily? THIS IS HOW TO DO IT.

Daddy and Emmie.

Playing with Mama!

 

Silly girl.

Taking a bath!

 

That’s a lot of eggs, Grandpa!

  

We had a chance to see a good family friend, Janice. Emily LOVED her!! I think Janice has a new best friend. :)

 

Smiles!

Grandma loved her new pillows.

And her rooster knives!

And her rooster dishes.

And her new purse! (Good job, Grandpa!)

We all laughed at the birthday cards, especially the one from my nephew Colin. Explaining it here wouldn’t do it justice, so I’ll just leave it to your imagination. Ha. :)

All in all, it was a great few days! Except for the whole Emily-doesn’t-sleep thing, we all had a wonderful time.

And, we’re going back in October for a whole WEEK!

HOORAY!
