Day 4

Well it has been 4 days with the black eye. Ryan has not been affected by this at all. Mostly he is sick of people asking him what happened and looking at him. I had to much convincing to get these 2 pictures. What a handsdome little man I have. As you can see the swelling has gone down a lot. It is looking much better every day. I am a little concerned about the bruise that is on his actual eyeball. We shall see how it goes.

Look at that eye

On Sunday while I was getting ready for church Ryan came in and decided that he would play in the tub. I had just washed my hair so the tub was wet. He gets in there and pulls the shower curtain shut. I ask nicely for him to get out so he doesn't get hurt and the next thing I know he is screaming bloddy murder. I open the shower curtain see his eye and think holy crap that is bad. We go get some ice and he sits with dad. He stops crying, but I still can't believe how bad his eye looks. Then I ask him if I can take some pictures and this is what we got.

Just after it happened.
We went to church and got quite the looks. It just progressively got worse and worse. The swelling was really bad.

A side view just before bed.

Just before bed. Getting pretty swollen.
The next morning he was pretty purple and slightly more swollen than this.
I guess boys will be boys. I try to give the kids a few minutes to obey before I make them obey. In this case I guess I should have demanded that he get out of the tub.

3yr old sayings

Tonight as I was getting Ryan to bed. I was covering him up and giving him hugs and kisses. He says to me "Mom cover my head, I am allergic to the dark." I don't know where that came from. Maybe he ment I am scared od the dark. I told him "Ryan it will be darker under the blanket."

My girl had a birthday.

My baby girl turned 6. How time flies. It seem just like yesterday I was crying because the Lord had finally blessed me with a baby. She was so beautiful and I couldn't believe how perfect she was. She still is. Here are some of her favorite things:
She loves to play with barbies.
She loves to put jewerly on.
She is a very good reader.
She can write very good...when she takes her time.
She loves to ride her bike.
She loves to ride the 4 wheeler.
She is becoming more of a girly girly and not a tom boy.
Annalynn wanted me to add...
She loves to play princess dress up.


Here she is with daddy, wearing his hat about 5 months old. Also with her baby brother when she was about 3.

Her favorite thing to do when she was little was to flip the ottom over and climb in and sit. She also loved playing in boxes. Also with her cousin Jake who is 1 week older playing with the leaves.


Here she is today. We had a great birthday party for her and 5 of her friends. Played pin the stem on the flower and musical chairs. Had cupcakes and ice cream. Daddy also put her name on the radio for her birthday and she won a birthday cake from Lins and a birthday boquet from Desert Rose Floral. The grandma and grandpa took her to Marv's for a hamburger, Marv's was closed so she got to go the basketball game at the HS and have dinner there. She was so excited and had a great birthday.

Silly Boy

So this morning hubby and I were cuddling in bed and Ryan comes in and climbs up on the bed. Crawls right inbetween us and says to Rustin...:Dad move scootch over". Mind you there is not a gap inbetween us so Ry is laying on top of us. Rustin scootches over but he closer to me. There is not any more room. Ry says, "Dad...not that way you are going to squish me." I laughed so hard. This boy of mine comes up with the funniest things to say.
