Rising Stars??

This weekend Riley and Ryan were asked to be in a video shoot for a music video for The Baby Grands. This is the kids CD our friend produced and wrote most of the songs for that was released a few months ago. It was fairly low key and they basically just filmed a bunch of kids playing and dancing. It was what I would call organized chaos. Riley and Ryan had a lot of fun and hopefully we will see them in their music video debut in the near future! :)




Yesterday morning at 9:51am, Ryan got my cell phone off the nightstand, disconnected the charger and dialed Aunt Heather & Uncle Brad using the speed dial. This happened in a split second and by the time I hit END, the damage was already done. They are in California, so it was 6:51am there...on Saturday morning. They returned the call a few hours later and all I could say was "it was Ryan". I felt really bad, but what can you do, but laugh. They have been really into phones lately, so I snapped quite a few shots of them playing with their cell phones (the ones we no longer use and they absolutely LOVE).




We've had great weather - almost 70 degrees each day, so we tried to take advantage and went outside to swing on their new swings. They were elated and squealed with excitement. They also got to ride in their wagon - another thing they love to do.

Now that Ryan is basically walking, they will be moved up to a new class at church next week! This will be just their second class since they started there so it should be a fun week. They are also starting in their Toddler 1 class at school tomorrow. They are growing like weeds and saying more words each day. This week Ryan repeated Mama, Dada, apple after me and attempted to say Riley. Today we told them they were going to have hot dogs for lunch and Ryan said something that sounded an awful lot like "hot dog". When we ask them "where is Ryan", Riley will point to him and vise versa. Last week I thought I would ask them to take their clothes to the basket and low and behold, they picked up their clothes, walked over to the basket and dropped them in! So now, after we change their clothes, they take them to the dirty clothes basket. We all cheer and it's very exciting! I'm just thankful that they are already starting to clean up after themselves...kinda. They are amazing me everyday with all they are learning. All in all it's been a great weekend. We plan to go to Gramma's for a spaghetti dinner once they wake up from their nap. Good thing we are planning to bathe them there before we head home.
