Look who's walking!

Ryan started trying to walk on his birthday but didn't get far. A week later he would take a few steps to one of us. Now 3 weeks later and he's cruising all over!! He'll actually walk from one room to the next and back again. He usually only falls if he steps on something in his way (usually toys). pretty good. He's still not totally stable, but another few weeks and I bet he's running! And he's learning to dance without holding on to anything. It's pretty funny to watch. He can't get quite as into it yet or he'll fall for sure, so you can see him trying to really bounce but not wanting to fall. Too cute!

Awesome Quote

“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom. What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving. The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else. When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation. You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.”

-Dr. Adrian Pierce Rogers (September 12, 1931 – November 15, 2005) of Love Worth Finding Ministries, Pastor Emeritus of Bellevue Baptist Church.

Thanks to my friends, the Badell's for this great find. So true.

Riding Bikes

Happy First Birthday Ryan!

For Ryan's actual Birthday day we had a little party with my mom, grandma, sister, and her little boy Ashton. We had lunch at our house, opened presents, and then hit our local park to play for a while. We had so much fun! Ryan LOVED his new Bike. It's from Cars and plays all these noises. He loves all the buttons and will sit on it forever. Hopefully he'll be riding it by his next birthday. He also loved his new hummer car that drives itself all over and plays music. We had a great day! Thanks to everyone for all their warm wishes!

Chick-fil-a

My new love... Chick-fil-a. It sounds so silly. We first heard of Chik-fil-a from our brother and sister in law from Indiana. They went on and on about it and said they go frequently on the "kids eat free" tuesday nights. I thought it was really funny that they liked it so much. Well, OC finally got 2 of them. Jason went for lunch one day and decided he had to bring me back since I like chicken and chicken sandwhiches. Well, the rest is history. It truly is the best chicken sandwhich I've ever had. Love all their dipping sauces. Kids love the chicken nuggets. And their chocolate shake taste's divine! So, of course we had to check out the "kids eat free" tuesday night since our kids (both of them) eat a ton, this actually saves us quite a bit. It was so much fun and really packed! Jayne got face painting (but on her arm), did a craft, and they both got a free kids meal that they both ate in entirety. It was a really fun night! And we'll be back!

And yes, Ryan ate an entire kids meal- All 4 chicken nuggets, the entire fruit cup (which is the best fruit cup I've ever seen at a fast food place), 1/2 his milk, some fries, and some licks of his ice cream cone.
