Happy Birthday Grandpo!

Ryan's Grandpo is a leap year baby, and will be celebrating his 76th year of life this week! We had a little birthday fun celebrating with him and Grandmo at our house on Friday with Jessica, Eleanor, and Noel.

(Jessica is known for her baking skillz and I have pretty much been craving chocolate cake everyday since then.)


The wee ones at the wee table.


And the Es on the piano...


Ezra has been wanting to sing Happy Birthday most days since then, so I think I'm going to have to brush up on my piano skills and learn how to play it soon!

cuties

On Tuesday morning we went to the pool with Jessica and Eleanor. The pool is heated, so it didn't feel so bad for being October. And, usually it would have felt awesome...though we are having a "cold front" this week. I think the high today was only 86...winter is ahead, and I'm soo giddy just thinking about it!

Eleanor and Ezra have the same curls, and if it weren't for their very different skin tones, I think they could pass as siblings...or, at least first cousins.

Cousins!

Last weekend Ryan's cousin Traci was in town with her daughter, Miriam who is just 6 months older than Ezra. (Funny that I used to think that 6 month difference was soo huge!)

It was fun to watch them play together. (Oh, and I guess you can also see some new additions I've made to Ezra's play kitchen.)






And then on Monday, Ryan's cousin Jessica babysat Ezra so that Ryan and I could go on a date! It was soo fun. We had coupons for free smoothies at Jamba juice, so we started out there. And then realized we were actually really hungry, and a smoothie wasn't going to fill us up, so we went across the street and got a pizza from BZ's, a local place we've been wanting to try...very yummy! And, they said if we give them, at least a 90 minute notice, they'll make a gluten free pizza for Ezra (the 90 minutes is so they can go to the store and get the right flours), how cool is that?? Then, we went bowling (yay for free bowling coupons)!! woohoo!! It has been soo long since we bowled together, just the two of us. Actually, now that I write that, I don't know if we've ever gone just the two of us before. Ryan won, but it was a close game...as in, it all came down to the 10th frame. I won't tell you our scores though because, ahem, I don't want you to be too intimidated to go bowling with us someday. :) And, last but certainly not least, we played ski ball and air hockey in the arcade room...

...we came home to find Ezra still sound asleep, just like he was when we left him.

On Tuesday morning we had planned on going to Stay and Play at the library with Jessica and Eleanor, but when we arrived, there was a sign on the door saying it was canceled for this week, so we went to Erik Hite Memorial Park instead.

Here is a picture of Ezra and Eleanor giving high fives that Jessica took on her iphone using the instagram app. Though I'm not really interested in an iphone...I do like the idea of having a camera on me at all times...and this app. :)

Cousins....3 of a kind!

Last Friday we got together with Ryan's cousins and their kiddos...3 babies (well, now toddlers) born within 3 weeks of each other makes for lots of cuteness (and craziness)!

We met at Grandma and Grandpa Green's house, ate pizza, played with the same toys that Ryan and his cousins played with when they were growing up...




And then headed out to the pool...




The kids were quite polite and remembered to clean up after themselves...


...and they even obliged in getting their photo taken together...


...however Ezra was insistent that his contract said only 1 group photo, so he was not pleased when we tried to pull a fast one on him and have him pose with grandma and grandpa...
