Can someone please fold my laundry and put it all away!!! I've reached my limit!! There's still three loads in the process of being washed!!

Red letter day

First off we went to Babe's Fried Chicken today-they don't have a menu all there is is fried chicken-it's REALLY good, the skin is the best part and I don't usually like the skin at all. Ryan really like it too-I got him to eat some mashed potatoes which surprisingly is no small feat.
it's in kind of cool old building and they do the hokey pokey- there was a blonde girl doing the hokey pokey and Ryan couldn't take his eyes off her- I think it is so funny because he just loves blondes, he will see a bunch of girls at the pool and crawl right over to the blonde-why is that?
King family Tradition-you can't be a King if you don't like fireworks!! Ryan got his first taste of fireworks today as we went with Grandpa King to buy our 4th July show- When I say show I mean show-the fire works are synchronized to music and the whole works with a big finale at the end. Jared and I's first date was to his families fireworks display.
look at all the selection-where do we start grandpa

look at how excited he is, it must be in his blood!! this is just the small stuff
having a little heart to heart with grandpa about which fireworks to buy-only the big one's grandpa only the big ones!!

Another Custom Crib Set

This is my third custom crib set that I have made! This one I made for my friend Sheila who is moving to Japan next week. My mom came and helped one day while Shalene watched Ryan and then I stayed up two nights until 3 in the morning.

Waxing

Yesterday my mom asked me to wax her eyebrows because she can on longer see them without her glasses on, but can't wax with her glasses on, ahh, getting old really does have some down falls. She lays her pretty head on my lap and I carefully dip the wand in the hot wax and spread across her woolly brow. I do both sides and am finishing up on the end when a big blob of wax drips into her hair! YIKES! I start laughing because I couldn't think of anything better to do, then I grabed the hair and tried to wipe it out but that didn't do anyone any good because that just spread the wax into more places. Now my mom has thin hair and needs all the help she can get, so my little mistake isn't helping anyone considering we had to cut out a chunk of hair because the wax was not coming out. Well she didn't learn from the first mistake and thought she needed a little more off one side, so again I dip my little magic wand and begin to apply to the bottom of her eye lid, this time the drip falls onto her eyelashes~OH MY GOSH~I toss my not so magical wand aside ie. into the other side of her hair because I freaked out and didn't know what to do, then I started laughing so hard I cried, but mostly out of fear that my mom was going to be bald, eyebrow less, and have no eyelashes. At this point in time I seriously fought the urge to get my camera and take a pic because that would be disrespectful. After we (I) regained control-I don't think my mom was laughing as hard as I was, partly becasue her eye was waxed shut and she couldn't have cried if she wanted to.-we decided that maybe olive oil might save the eyelashes-cutting the eyelashes was not an option for my mom. The olive oil worked like a charm and we only lost two lashes in the devastation. We all learned a lesson-

PAY THE $8 DOLLARS TO HAVE A LITTLE VIETNAMESE LADY WAX YOUR EYEBROWS FOR YOU

Look at the trouble I can get into!!

So proud of himself he was able to climb onto the changing table all by himself opps I forgot mom was right there...is she mad?
hurry get down before she notices
the video follows

ryan got stuck

Okay so maybe I'm a mean mom to just sit there a record my struggling baby, but I would like him to be able to figure his way out of problems without me always right there to help~also he was extremly tired and went directly dwon for a nap without a peep!

kazoo

Ryan loved this Kazoo! Jared bought it for him a couple of months ago and I thought he'll never figure that out-at least not anytime soon. Well he figured it out all right~i just showed him a couple of times and off him went. I think gramps really appreceated this new found talent, especially in the car!

Friends far and wide....

These are our friends Mike and Shelia! Shelia went to law school with Jared in Spokane, and then her husband was in a specialized pediatric dental program here in Dallas. It was awesome because we all had built in friends once we moved! Well they are about to move again and I'm so sad, because we wont be able to see them for quite awhile-Tokyo is a little out of the way, but who knows maybe we'll find really cheap flights or something....We are really going to miss you guys, and hope you have a blast in your new country!!
This is McKayla-my best friend Alison's little girl~I made her this very girly tutu~Alison was unsure but McKayla LOVED it! She said that it was the first thing McKayla asked for when they got out of the car when their trip was over~A girls got to have her TUTU!
This is Cooper, Alison and Cory's newest addition! He was such a happy baby and so cute too boot!
I was so thankful that Alison and Cory took the time out of their trip to stop and visit for several hours!! Thank you guys so much I really enjoyed hanging out for a little while and getting to meet your little guy!
This is Trevor, Jessie's little boy! Jessie and Katie were good friends growing up! Jessie's husband was working in Oklahoma so she drove down to spent a couple days. It's so fun to see everyone all grownup and with kids of their own!!!

ryan crawling

this is a sampling of all of ryans current moves. He is funny because he will get where he wants to be then lay on his back, spin around then sit up. He's silly boy and I love watching him grow and learn.

ryan can swim!

Ryan loves to swim!! He will jump off the wall by himself, but we had already been swimming for two hours so I think he was a little tired

popsicles poolside

ryan was beating delaney up with his popsicle!!

crawling finally

This is Ryan really crawling for the first time!! Okay so at least one good thing happened yesterday! I should have gotten back in bed and slept the whole day though because yesterday was a terrible horrible no good very bad day!! First I went to the gym(which in it's self was fine) and Ryan pooped in the middle of my workout, they came and got me and said that he really stunk-YES!! Then he cried and whined the rest of the day. I drove with Shalene to IKEA which is about an hour from my house, Ryan decide that he didn't want to take a nap on our nice long drive except the last five minutes!! LOVELY! Then we go to leave(not on time) and got stuck in traffic for two hours with a baby who doesn't want to nap! GREAT! Wow we were having a great time! I get home, still no nap but lots of crying. So he gets some alone time in his crib while I go cry too! So this is the problem that comes with having a totally happy baby, I now can't hack one day of crying and typical fussiness that normally comes with babies. I know that no one feels sorry for me, but was unbearable. But wait it gets worse I promise....I decided it would be better to take him to Jared's soccer game, then listen to him cry in the house...boy was I wrong. I just pulled into the parking lot of the soccer fields and Ryan begins to puke, and not just baby spit up but, full on adult throw up!! OH MY GOSH I don't wish a baby puking in a car seat on my worse enemy!! It took me over an hour to clean up his car seat once we got home, I don't know how a baby so small can make such a big huge mess. First of all the smell, of yogurt the second time wahhuuueee!!!! not to mention the fully rehydrated raisins...well you get the picture it was BAD! Jared came and helped me get his clothes off and clean him up, which was no small feat. I decided since we were all ready there we might as well watch the game. Ryan was our white trash baby cruising around in his pampers and shoes( don't ask me why he still had his shoes on, well maybe because it was the only thing left that wasn't covered in vomit.) This is how Ryan learned how to crawl on his knees in instead of dragging his dead wait legs behind him. Wow what a fun day we had, I bet your jealous!!

Puppy Love

oh my gosh~the puppies at trade days were so cute!! we seriously almost brought one home~ ryan was in love~every stall we walked up to he said"dog, dog"~we had to go to the dog area twice~i think that lady thought she had a sure sell~good thing i forgot my checkbook~

i'm still resisting the urge to go back and buy this little shorkie~i want him~

please dad, can't you see that ryan loves him~
