RYAN SUNDAY NEWS

The nice thing about Sunday is the free time! Allison used hers to write the Ryan Sunday News. I thought it was pretty funny and wanted to share:

New Yarn Record

Allison Ryan has been working on a crocheting rope for two days, and it is 10 ft. 3 in. today!

Lego Mania

Allison, Becca, and Tommy Ryan have been building lego houses, cars, people, etc. the last 2 days. Come see pink, yellow, blue, white, gray and black cars, houses, beds, food, cups, doors, tables, and more lego creations!

Short Skirt

Oh, no! Becca Ryan has grown out of a really cute green and blue skirt! What will she do?

Too Many Treats

Tommy Ryan has had too many treats! Will an orange save the day?

This summer's productions

Yes, the Ryan girls are at it again.... back to drama (the real kind, you know, on stage... not just Becca trying to pick out an outfit). June will be Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat month and August will be the Suncrest's '3 Nephi pageant' month. We love the stage! If you haven't received info and want some, let me know! I'll send dates over e-mail.

Our girls are super excited to be a part of Naphtali's and Naphtali's wife's family. You may recognize them as Captain Von Trapp and the pregnant nun (!) from last year! Thanks for letting my girls join your family!

"Big Fancy Dude"

...is Tommy's new nickname for his Daddy.

We are honestly not sure where this one came from!

Mother's Day gifts

Our children are so blessed to have all 6 of their grandmas in their lives. That's right... all 6 grandmothers, 4 greats and 2 grands! In honor of these amazing women that made our family what it is today, we recognize the many gifts they've given to us. Happy Mother's Day to all!

Who are these kids?

Yay! Our computer is back... I can blog again! These pictures are from my kids' spring break week. I knew we wouldn't have a car for most of the week, so we had to get creative! We each sponsored a day: Circus Day, Farm Day, Body Day, and Jungle Day. These are from "Body Day", the kids laid down on paper and we traced their bodies. We laughed at how they seem a lot taller than they are and their heads seem smaller than in real life! We also excercised and learned about the different systems of the body. We had a fun week!
