Bath Time!

Ryan being a boy who used to hate bath time has now grown to love them. The boys will sit in that tub for an hour if we allowed it! They splash, play, and sing and love every minute of it. Those two just make my heart melt...

NEW HEADER!

I want to say a special THANK YOU to Becky at Lady in Waiting Blog Designs for designing my amazing header! She has taken over blog designing for The Blog Fairy as she prepares to bring her son Noah home. I pray for safe travels to Verna!! I hope you guys enjoy the new look! We had a nasty storm last night bringing ice and snow, so campus is closed today. So now I think I'll go make some more coffee and snuggle up with a movie! ;)

Fun Weekend in Indiana!

We made it back from our visit to Indiana. We had a lot of fun! Well I did anyways. Tyler was suffering all weekend with a nasty swollen throat and cough and went into the doctors today. He has strep throat!! I'm PRAYING I don't get it. After we drove back last night we laid around together and watched a movie. I tried to keep a good distance but its hard not to want to snuggle up to your honey when they are sick! ;) Anyways, the weekend was tons of fun. The girls and I went out Friday night and had a blast. We then stayed in Saturday night and played Guitar Hero on the Wii....and I must say for a first timer...I ROCKED!! I also got to see Tyler's cousins baby girl for the first time. She is precious. Her name is Elle (pronounced "L") and she is 2 months old. She was only 5lbs. when she was born and now she weighs 10lbs. even. She felt like a feather when I held her. I'm used to the big babies over here! Well just pray for Tyler to heal fast and get back up on his feet. He is an awful sick person because he has a hard time just sitting around. Happy Monday friends!

Me rockin' out to Guitar Hero! ;)

Favorite Photo Friday

This is a picture of me and my four best friends. It was taking on the beach of Lake Michigan in summer of 2006. I hardly get to spend any time with them anymore because we all went away to different colleges. I love them all dearly and when we do get to spend a Girls Night Out together...it is fabulous!!!

I hope you all have a glorious weekend...Tyler and I are heading to Indiana to spend some time with friends and family. Happy Friday!

Suggestions NEEDED!!

I've been dealing with this nasty sore throat since last weekend. It seems to be worse and night and in the morning. I know that is from drainage of...well....snot! I get colds a lot in the winter and now I just have lots of ewwy's in the nose! I need to know if there is anything out there that has worked for you guys that soothes a sore throat. I even woke up at 4am this morning in tears because of the pain! I've been taking pain killers, drinking tea, and sucking on throat lozenges but it still is killing me! Any suggestions????????? PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!

The Bucket List

Tyler and I braved the cold tonight and went on a date! We went out to dinner at a local Mexican restaurant where we shared faitas (yummy!!) and then went to go see The Bucket List. Now, if you have not seen this movie yet...I'm telling you TO SEE IT! You leave the movie with a new outlook on life and it just gives you warm fuzzies in your belly. ;) Warning: you will laugh and you will cry but its all worth it. Tyler said its one of the best movies that he's seen in a long time and that's saying something. He is the toughest movie critic I know!

...The snow keeps falling and we are again expected to get 3-5 inches tonight. I even did a mini fishtail with my car on the roads tonight. Why does it feel like summer is so far away?! Stay warm everyone!

Baby, Its Cold Outside!

I made it back safely from my weekend at home! It is currently FREEZING outside...wind chills in the negatives....EWWWYY!!

It is my brother-in-laws birthday today and last night we had a little party for him. HAPPY BIRTHDAY JEREMY!!! It was fun to get together with some friends and have a good time. Now, about that football game I just watched...holy cow! I wasn't really partial to either team but it was a nail bitter! Looks like Patriots and Giants are in the Superbowl...gonna be a butt whoopin' if you ask me! ;)

On the flip side, I am just jumpin' for joy right now because I don't have class tomorrow, thanks to Martin Luther King Day. I'm hoping to get to bed soon and sleep till 9...maybe 10?! Ahhhh that would be lovely! Then I'm planning on being some what productive. Maybe cleaning my bathroom...doing some homework...maybe some laundry? Lets just hope I wake up well rested and rarin' to go!!!! I hope everyone had a fabulous weekend!

I'm heading home for the weekend! I hope you all have a relaxing and refreshing weekend and I'll be back Sunday! XOXO

~My Little Buddy~

~Amy and Ryan~

I have been in Ryan's life ever since he was 2 months old.

He and I have always had a special bond.

We both love to cuddle and be lazy.

We both enjoy food (if you couldn't tell by his chubbiness!).

He loves all girls who are blond because that resembles me.

He started to say my name and won't stop saying it.

He knocks at my door if its closed and calls for me everyday.

He gets ready with me in the morning by getting his hair brush and standing next to me

while I do my hair, and he does his. ;)

He mimics everything I do.

He likes to watch me do my makeup and pretends to powder his face.

He wants to sit on my lap and just cuddles up to me every time I'm at my computer.

He gives me this smile that warms my heart.

He runs to me when I pick him up from day care or just walk in the front door.

We have always had a special bond and I'm so lucky I can experience this with him.

He is my little buddy, my Ry!
