Two Questions

1. How do you get your child to eat peas?

Answer: Let him do it himself!

2. If you are feeling too lazy to install baby gates, what can be used to keep the baby out of the animal stuff and the animal out of the baby stuff?

Answer: Kitchen chairs.

Note-eventually they will both find a way through!

A week in Wichita

A bachelor party, bridal shower, doctors appointment, rehearsal dinner, wedding and baby shower.
All in one week.

All in Wichita.
So, Trent and I decided to stay with Sittie and Grandad again!

(I think they are pretty well exhausted after our two extended visits!)

Aunt Alicia, Sydney and Jordan were there too!

Between all those events we had a great time
~~ playing and loving each other~~

~~Healing~~

~~Shopping~~

(How in the world can I say "no" to that face?)
~~A first hair cut~~

~~Watching the rain~~

~~Celebrating memories, new life and new love~~

~~Loving Sit-Sittie~~

*Great-Grandma

~~And eating out!!~~

Thanks Wichita for a wonderful week

Trents Vacation

Trent had some great bonding time with his Sittie* and Grandad, an entire week in fact! Jake and I cruised the Mexican Riviera leaving Trent to have a blast in Wichita.
He had lots of company, played hard, went out to eat, shopping and kept S&G on their toes! Aunt Alicia, Sydney and Jordan were there too, giving him lots of attention. I think maybe he had a better time on his vacation than we did!
*Sittie is Arabic for Grandma

Thank you Sittie, Grandad, Alicia and Sydney for loving our little one so much while we were gone!

First Hair Cut!

Look what we did today!

Such a big guy, he didn't even cry!

Neither did Trent! :)

I think he now looks more like a little boy instead of a baby.

What a handsome guy!

Have a great weekend!  Love, The RockinRyans

Poor Guy

Trent has had a little tummy "bug"

hanging around

buggin' him

since Saturday.

beginning in the middle of Wendy's......

He has definitely not been himself.

But we have enjoyed the extra cuddles.

And he has found re hydrating to be not so bad either.

Hopefully our happy, energetic little man will return soon!

Love, therockinryans

Fearless

Jake and I are beginning a bible study class based on the book Fearless by Max Lucado.
Because we have not begun reading the book yet, I am not sure what it is about exactly, but it has already changed how I am looking at and thinking about life.
Jake recently commented about how amazing it is that every time Trent starts a new day, he is happy.
He smiles as we enter his room.
When we set him down, he kicks his legs, shakes his bottom and takes off across the floor like it is the first time, laughing all the way.
He looks at his toys with new excitment daily (the same toys over and over).
When he eats the same thing for breakfast every morning he gobbles it down with a "MMMM".
I feel so guilty when he hasn't left the house for a few days, isn't he bored? Isn't he sick of us?
NO!
I sing "The Wheels on The Bus" for the 200th time, he grins and shakes his head to be the "wipers".
When does our enthusiasm for life dwindle?
Why can't we wake up so excited for life?
Wouldn't it be great to be fearless?
To not worry so much and just be happy with oatmeal and bananas every morning?
I think I have lots to learn.
We are looking forward to reading and studying this book,

BUT

I think this little man is the biggest teacher we have.

Love, the RockinRyans
