Ian's 3rd Birthday

My little baby is now three years old! I didn't get very many pics of him from the birthday party, but here are a couple. Just a few things about Ian right now:

1. He is still OBSESSIVE about rocking in his rocking chair. He does not sleep well at night. Most nights, he comes into our bedroom, or sleeps in "his chair" in the livingroom.

2. He LOVES cars, especially the cars from the movie, "Cars."

3. Ian is so sweet. His bossy sister Hannah always gets her way. She bosses Ian around a lot, and he is good to take it. If he knows that something will upset Hannah, he gives her her way! What a nice brother!

4. He likes to play outside, jump on the tramp, swing on the swingset, ride his scooter and bigwheel, play with any cars in the house, and drive his dumptruck around the house.

5. Ian is so sweet and sensitive. It is so cute when he asks for a kiss. This usually only happens after I apply my mint flavored lip gloss, but I'll do whatever it takes to get a big wet one from him!

Yellowstone

I decided that maybe for Christmas this year, I will ask for Photoshop. There are always way too many pics to choose from and never enough space. (or time, since my computer is so slow at posting pics!) We went to Yellowstone Park a few weeks ago with my parents. It was fun, but a little bit chilly!

Does anyone know how to fix the slideshow so that you can see the whole picture? I used to have a slideshow a long time ago, but took if off. Now that I created a new one, I can't get the formatting right! I've spent way to long trying to change it today. HELP!!!!

Dinner at The Mayan with Nana and Grandpa Bryant

Tom's parents took us to dinner at the Mayan a couple of weeks ago. We had a great table where we could see the cliff divers so well! The kids had a lot of fun there! Thanks again for dinner Jon and Linda!

Do you think I should let her play with these?

While at the 4th of July parade, my mom got each of the kids a toy at one of the vendors in the park. Hannah picked out these generic barbies that she wanted. We laughed histarically when we got home and read the box! They didn't even spell China right! I'm sure these are filled with LEAD! Pretty funny....

Hannah in 4th of July Parade

Unfortunately I didn't get any cute close ups of Hannah, but she was a cute flower girl. If you look closely, you can see her in the front of float in a pink dress. They were on a float representing Jimmy's Flower shop. (I was also in the parad holding a sign, but opted NOT to post any of those!)

My sister-in-law has started a new photography business. She has so many talents, and among them is photography. Since I am not very computer saavy, I haven't figured out yet how to put a link on my sidebar to advertise for her. The new pics of the kids that I have added are ones that Melinda recently took. We went to Antelope Island to take them, which was pretty interesting. There was a beautiful sunset, but it was stinky, a huge hike to get out to where the water was, and there were TONS of bugs and flies, etc...everywhere. It was kind of gross, but the pics still turned out great! If you click on the pics of the kids, it should take you to Melinda's website. Thanks again, Melinda!
