Baby Ryan

Ryan Glynn was born Wednesday, August 27th at 7:28 am. He was 6 lbs 15 oz and 18 1/2 in. He is gorgeous! I am tired and need sleep - and ibuprofen!! I will try to post pics asap! Everyone is doing great though!

A Little Bit of Dave

Ok, so here I am, just hours away from having to change my blog name to 3 boys and a girl! Baby Ryan will be here before some of you wake up tomorrow! I am excited and nervous and READY! This child has been kicking the crap outta me! I am thinking he is going to be as energetic as Benjamin!! Everything is ready, the laundry is done, the dishes are done, the baby's room is ready, the kids have new surprise grab bags ready for the time I will be in the hospital, and I have me bag packed and ready to go. Tomorrow we add to our family. I can't wait!

I have loved all of my blog friends' playlist so I decided to create oe of my own to put on my blog. So what did I start with? Some Dave Matthews of course!! Then I found myself listening to Dave tunes for wayyy too long but a peace came about me. I love me some Dave! I was feeling a bit nervous about my upcoming c-section and I instantly felt better just listening! Isn't that funny? I remember the best times at Dave concerts in the summer time. Driving around listening to Dave cds. All the instrumentalists, the vocals, the uber cool guitar. Ahhhh, a little bit of Dave does some good! So, listen up and I hope you like!

The baby comes tomorrow and I bet I will play him some Dave!!

Stuff

I was cleaning the garage out - 9 months preggo and in 105 degrees mind you! - and I found a frog that I thought was, well, a goner. Then is started to move - YIKES! I thought the kids would love this! So we found a much better place to let it go rather than the garage! Benjamin loved watching it!



And I thought that I would show everyone the baby's room! I am really happy with how it turned out! Now, just need a baby! I am sooooooo ready!!!

2 year old Ellie

These are more pics from Elizabeth's birthday.


This is when she first woke up! I think we scared her singing happy birthday!


She was sooo excited that she got to wear a pretty dress AND she kept saying "my birthday. Not bubba's (Benjamin) birthday." She was pretty adament that everyone knew that!

We had just a few people over but as soon as some kids came, they all wanted to hit the dress up box. This is what E chose!!

Since Elizabeth can't have cake I made a spread with candy, ice cream and ice cream toppings! (Kinda stole the idea from Ky's mom, but I did it on Target budget!)

Elizabeth loved the ice cream but did not wnat anything on it! Not even pink sprinkles!

She got some cool things for her birthday and was so excited!

Here she is doing her princess wave bye-bye.

Daddy singing happy birthday AGAIN!

A pic of me with all of the kids!

It was also our wedding anniversary! Feels like we have been married 20 years! LOL Benjamin took this pic of us! I am HUGE!

It really was a great day!

Two years ago...

Our sweet baby girl Elizabeth was born. These are the only pictures we got and it was the next day after she was born. They whisked her away from me right after birth so I did not get to see her until this very moment in the picture. And of course they were taken with Tommy's phone! LOL She was such a pretty baby! Boy, did she have a very interesting start though!


So here we are, 2 years later and she is such a joy! I will post more pics later!!
