Baby Bubblegum

 Bubblegum is getting bigger and fluffier! These are two pictures her current family sent us this week.

 9 Days Old

12 Days Old

Her eyes are now mostly open and she's starting to move around!

Here is the collar Ryan bought for her. We've made an agreement with our kids that if they have a pet they have to pay at least half of every cost that comes along with owning that pet. So Ryan happily bought this collar with mostly his own birthday/Christmas money and this summer we will be coming up with creative ways for him to earn more money to get her spayed! :) We don't wanna have our own set of babies!

Picture Updates/Meet Bubblegum!!

 A couple weeks ago we went to visit some friends and hit a few garage sales with them. Found this nifty little thing for Aydan. His first bike for only $10!!! He loves it! He's a quick learner and is super fast on this thing!!

On Ryan's birthday him & Dylan got to visit a car show which they greatly enjoyed!! Dylan really enjoyed looking at all the really awesome cars and Ryan enjoyed bashing the wrecked car with a bat - imagine that! :) 

(Hard to believe these two are only 2 years apart, but Ryan has been growing a little!)

 Recently Dylan's 2nd grade class put on a play "Follow the Drinking Gourd" while learning about the underground railroad. He played "Samuel" a little boy whose family was trying to escape slavery. He was so excited to dress the part in his holy jeans and stained up dirty shirt. He did such a great job!!

 Aydan loved having his bestie Roderick come to visit. When these two were babies they looked almost identical, red hair and everything!! Not even related! I met Roderick's parents while both his mom and I were still preggers. Aydan is almost a month older but I had so many times of having to do double takes while keeping him for daycare. They still look so much alike but are starting to change a little as they grow up so far less twinage!

 Ryan's Super-Kids Day injury.... He and another child ran head first into each other at the award ceremony... His poor little cheek - I missed getting a picture the following day but it turned green which wasn't a good look!  

 Ryan on "Dress Like A Pirate" day at school. Kindergarteners have so much fun!!

Do you know how hard it is to get an excited little pirate to sit down and smile?!?! He had to make himself smile using his hand! :P

 A few nights ago Ryan asked to sleep in my bed with me. This is something he hasn't done since July of last year. He used to join me in bed EVERY night from about 2-3am because of his difficulty sleeping. He'd wake up every night and be awake for around 2 hours just unable to sleep so he'd come lay in my bed and sing to himself quietly or play with his fingers until he wore himself back out enough to sleep until he woke up at 6. This was after going to bed around 11:00-11:30. Luckily since July of last year he has been able to sleep through the night from 9pm until 6-7am!!! Its amazing!!!

I just couldn't resist a photo op. It's not too often I get a picture of him being still!! :)

Aydan and his girlie friend Kennie. These two are a hoot to be around!

Last, but certainly not least.... Meet Bubblegum! Ryan's new kitten was born on May 6th. She is the little calico cutie! He is soooooo excited!! We had to go yesterday to buy her her very first collar. He wanted to get her a black collar with metal spikes and was very disappointed when Petco didn't have any for sale.... He ended up with a pink one with black sculls and cross bones (the child is crazy!! j/k I love that strange little dude!) In 5-7 more weeks we get to bring her home!! :)
