Finally made it to the park today. It’s been a while since we’ve gone.
There were a bunch of big boys there. Ronan really wanted to play with them, but couldn’t keep up. He ended up exploring more than anything else!

I don’t run outside naked.
Why would I let my kid run outside naked?
You mean, besides because he LOVES it?



Bwahahahahaha!
This post requires no words. Simply pictures.





















I just wanted to share a few of the amazing picture I’ve gotten at Folly Beach today.

Running full tilt towards the water. Oh so innocent.

First experience with the ocean, just a little tide-pool.

Moments after his innocence was lost, and he fell face first into the water.

Ronan, after falling, decides to play in the sand instead. He’s trying to convince this bird to let him catch him.

He had a blast chasing birds across the beach!

Taking some time in the shade, world’s happiest boy.

Mom and dad enjoying their vacation as well.

Grandad and his cool dude!

Curls = love.

This is Grandmom’s favorite. Who doesn’t love the beach?
Today had been a bit of a pain in my rear. Ronan has been making trouble all morning, and I had to drive out to Gaston to pick up a prescription I forgot to get while I was at work last night.
Since we were in the car for almost an hour, we missed Ronan’s nap time. He didn’t sleep in the car. It’s now 1:45, and he has still not gone down for a nap. We’re on nap attempt #3.
(I would like to take this moment to point out that he slept from 6:15pm last night to 9:30am this morning. Without waking. I know.)
So anyways. I didn’t feel like writing. Much.
Here are some great pictures from the last amazing few days.

OHEMGEE RONAN DON’T PUT THAT IN YOUR MOUTH!!

Get the ball!

He loves his soccer ball.


At the Park again!



Also, on Tuesday, Farah came over for a visit while Stephany and Ava had a special Mommy&Ava Day. We had a good time (with a few hiccups) and I got some sweet pictures. And LOTS of cuddles!


This cracks me up! Looks like they are texting each other.

Sweet Farah, loving on Flint!
I may or may not add a video later today. I have a few cute ones
I don’t want to blog today.
So I’m not gonna!
Here are some pictures to keep you entertained.

“Mr mrf if frll.”

Ronan in a box. Love!

Blurry, and yet adorable. Steph, Farah and Ronan. “Birds!”

Sweet Farah… I couldn’t possibly love this little girl more.

Can you believe I delivered this MONSTER?
And… last but not least… POTTY MAN!

Practice sitting on the potty? Sure. He’s got it down.
Sorry for lack of substance today. Hope you don’t mind.






Baby Carter James! I love holding the new babies.
Ronan’s first birthday party was today. All of our very best and most wonderful friends came. I was so so very worried about it for NOTHING at all. It was amazing, and I think everyone had a great time. Short of a few birthday boy melt-downs, it couldn’t have gone better.
Here are some pictures of our Ronan’s big day.
Ronan LOVES balloons!
Sweet Farah!
Walkin’ man and his birthday balloons.
Our party guests – so many amazing people. (The other half were in the kitchen.)
Do you see anything wrong with this picture? Let me give you a hint… helium balloon + candle = FAIL.
Balloon popped and scared him silly. He cried until he tasted the icing.
“Hmm. This is pretty good actually.”
“This gets it to my mouth faster.”
WIN.
Quick bath, wardrobe change, and BACK in the party!
Hooray! Presents!
Thank you SO much to everyone who came! Until next year…
I have been terrible about uploading pictures lately, so here is a nice little picture post.
Ronan likes to snack while laying on his back.
This is the face he makes when I use the flash now.
Look at that sweet face!
You see this huge grin? It’s because he has the power plug. He tried to put it in his mouth, and I told him “NO!” firmly.
Then he looked like this:
A pout? You ain’t seen NOTHING yet.
Have you ever seen anything so sad? It breaks your heart. Woah, baby.
