BACK TRACK TO MAV'S BIG ONE

OK so I have been so bad in these past months on keeping track of the up and up of whats going in our home life and YES one of the most important was
Mavericks "Big ONE"

Maverick Weston Manne turns One Years of Age on

Sept. 23rd 2008.

We decided to throw him a "Big One"

ELMO PARTY that is... Here are some of the highlights.

POOL SIDE ELMO PARTY -YIP YIP!

Here are are two little trouble makers Joe Joe and Maverick himself. These two are going to be classic growing up together. I will tell you right now we are going to have some stories...I Can Feel IT! Look at those smirks...

Oh...they are just playing the sweet innocent role here...SMILE ITS MY BIRTHDAY

Auntie Nicole Poising for the camera! CHEESE! We did the cute POLKA DOT Rainbow theme. Yes I know I am a sucker for the polka dots...

Grandma Kim with Her Boys

Ry Ry and Maverick...

Grandma Linda got the cakes for US---AREN'T THEY CUTE! Surfs Up!

This one I have to say...OMG! WE HAVE ELMO LOOKING AT YOU KID!

...a little scary if you ask me~ lets see how Maverick reacts to this-

OK...it looks like he is going for it- GO MAVY GO!

And that's a Big Negative Ghost Rider. GET THIS STUFF OFF OF ME. I will tell you our hands were stained for a week with RED Frosting. Maverick freaked out and kept pushing the cake away and of course every time he did more frosting got all over him!

WHAT A MESS!

It's PINATA TIME...Poor Elmo. I did feel a little weird with all of the kids hitting him.
Maverick did not seem to mind. HE LOVED IT ~ a little TOO Much!

All THE BOYS --- ALL THE COUSINS--- Can you tell we are all going to have our hands full. Ohhh Noooo.
Present Time...He loaded up ---

ELMO MADNESS! Our living room is filled with Elmo Toys sometimes in the middle of the night I hear Elmo's laugh from one of the toys going off (It freaks me out every time)...

And He drove away into the sunset...THANK YOU AUNTIE ARIN FOR MY AWESOME RIDE!

Pumpkin Patch

Make a Smilebox scrapbook

WE went to a real pumpkin patch farm where the kids could pick their own pumpkins...
We road the tractors around the farm and saw the farm animals.
The kids had a blast!
Here are some more pics of the big day...

Popsicle Days

It was one of those Hot Summer Days and Ryan and I decided to pull out the Popsicles...

This was Maverick's First! and boy did he love it! I could not that thing out of his hand. These two goof balls were making me crack up! IT sure kept them quiet for a good half hour...All I could hear was Slurp...and then they would lick thier lips and say Ahhhhhhh!

It is days like this that I want to remember forever....I love them both so much.

WING MAN

Need I say More. Does this remind you of someone...

Grandpa BiLL!

Ryan's First Day of School

Ryan's First Day of Kindergarten at MCA! Ryan was so excited!

Daddy had him give us a thumbs up...

The teacher had the children draw a teddy bear to hang up in class for the first day. Ryan colored the green and blue teddy bear.

Look at how CUTE Ryan is...The girls are going to love him...

Ahhh look how little and cute he looks in his little uniform. They had him wearing his name tag so all the kids would get to know each other.Ryan sitting down at his little desk.

I am sure he was over having me take pictures of him in class.

The teachers were trying to shoo away the parents...

OK ONE MORE ONE MORE! WHAT A PROUD MOMMA!
AHHH MY BABY IS GROWING UP! TeaR..~

Ryan is doing so good in kindergarten. He has 2 best friends Kayden and Benjamen that he plays with everyday. He has turned from Shy to a Little Social Butterfly. I guess that is a good thing but we are working on him not being the little chatterbox in class now. Who would have thought! Ryan has started learing his numbers and letters. Ryan loves to read everynight. (Well he is practicing)~ He should be able to my the end of the year....We are in the learning stages of sounding out words...Now he has Maverick picking out a book as well to read along with him. It is really cute!

There was no stopping him now

A Tooth Fairy Visit for Ryan

Ryan lost his first baby tooth in August. It was quite unexpected as he was trying to open a can of Tinker Toys with his teethe for Maverick and Oops out popped his bottom tooth. My poor little guy was crying "Put it back in grandma! Put it back in!" After a telephone call to Mommy and Daddy we explained to him about losing his baby teeth and that the best part of all the Tooth Fairy will come and pay him a visit. That night he went straight to bed and placed his little tooth inside a match box and stuck it under his pillow. This is what the tooth fairy "Daphne" Left for him that night...

A little note that read... Dear Ryan I heard the news you lost your tooth and rushed to your house as fast as my wings could carry me~...Wow! What a tooth, it is shiny and white and just the way I like them. I am very happy to have your First Tooth... The other fairies will be jealous. Your tooth is so perfect and white Ive decided to make it into a new pair of shoes for the Queen... I have left you a special treat~ Remember to brush and keep them coming...

Daphne the Tooth Fairy~

Daphne had rolled his little note up in a matchstick scroll for him and left little fairy dust along his pillow.

She also left him a dollar bill for his tooth!

Ryan stood over me the next morning with his Big Surprise...

HE LOVED IT!
