Cousin Ryan is Here

Baby Ryan Glynn was born on Thursday. He was 7lbs 4ozs and 19 inches long. He is long, spiky blond hair and is super cute. Here I am talking baby talk to him (or more like screaming baby talk at him). Daddy said you could almost see the words coming out of his other ear!
Here we all are together. This picture may not be duplicated again for a long time with as much as we all move around!

Super Luke

Right now, I'm Luke the super flipper who falls down off the chair. I am working on developing my latest super powers. I'll keep you posted!

Potty Party

So, my doctor said it was time to start potty training. To celebrate the occassion Momma bought me some boxer briefs (underwear). I did not know what to do with them, so naturally, they went on my head.
I kind of like the underwear on your head look. Here I am sporting my "puffy pants". I have to wear these over my swim diaper for swimming lessons. They are quite a sight.

2 Years Old


I tried to post this last week but Blogger was being tempremental. I'm 2. This is a huge milestone for me. 2 years old is a whole other finger to hold up when people ask you your age. I haven't mastered the two finger salute yet but I'm working on it. I'm as smart, wild and funny as I have been over the last few months. I ask lots of questions, voice my opinion, and think I rule the roost. I'm very bossy right now and am constantly reminded to say "please." I request the foods that I like for breakfast and lunch and eat pretty much anything. I am still fond of my menagerie of imaginary friends. There is a band of pesky puppy dogs that wakes me up each night. Otherwise, the pals are friendly. I'm really becoming a good big brother. I help Davis when he is feeling crummy and I also help all the grown ups with Davis. I have also stopped referring to him as just Matthew. He is now Matthew Windsock. Matthew for his middle name and Windsock for the windsock hanging in my neighbor's tree. I am becoming more and more of a boy every day. I climb, flip, jump, slide and tackle constantly. I get stinky outside and like to gross my mommy out. But them sometimes I will still cuddle with her and kiss her bobos. I'm working on my numbers and ABCs and love to read books and learn new things. I'm still in swim lessons and doing really well. I'm busy, busy, busy and can't wait for the next year. That's my update!

"Thomas" Birthday Party

I had a great birthday party this weekend. It was a Thomas the Train party - but only the cake was Thomas themed! These pics got out of order but you can see that we really had a blast. Here is the frog pool that Daddy put out. Ben is enjoying the water feature!
Daddy also filled the pools with squirt guns. Jackson is trying one out.
Keegan went straight for my ball basket and tried them out.
Here is my pal Thomas hanging in the pool. You can see my green croc in the background.

Buddy cooked all the hotdogs for the party. Thanks Buddy.
This was the baby holder section of the party!
Check out my cakey fingers. I think I am turning six, ten and two. Depends when you ask and how you phrase the question. I'm working on holding up my two fingers by themselves.
My party was too fly for Davis.

Jackson enjoyed the Byman waterslide.
Here is my real cake. Momma and Daddy made it. Much better than the tester cake you will see below.
Family pic.
Sister/Aunt picture. They really did not plan the Mexican shirt theme but it worked out that way. Not shocking to anyone.
Loungin' in my pool on my birthday.

Here you can kind of see how much stuff we had going. Daddy did a great job setting it all up. We had a pool, sandbox with water, splash pad, slip and slide and frog pool. It was a fantastic and fun party. Thanks to all that came and hung out with us.

Luke's 2nd Birthday- The Real Thing

On my real birthday (7/11) my whole family came to Mimi's house for a birthday dinner, swim and fish session. The house was festive as usual.
I got tons of great gifts from the family. One of my faves was my Thomas train set from Momma and Daddy. But don't be fooled- I was this excited about each gift.
Here is the tester cake that Momma and the cousins made. The real think looked a lot better but both tasted yummy.
Here I am enjoying some cake with Sue Sue. I am a lot more civilized than I was last year!

King of the Hill

I'm starting to play outside by myself now as long as Momma leaves the the door sort of ajar so I can get inside if I need to in an emergency.
I picked this outfit out on my own! Shocked? Yes, that is a tie, a hawaiian shirt, soccer cleats and army pants.
Chillin' on our new patio!

2 Months

My little brother is 2 months old. WOW! I can't believe it has already been that long. He is growing like a weed. He is really long and lean. He has already outgrown pjs that I wore at 3 months. He goes to the doctor on Wednesday so you will get his official stats then. He coos and oohs and ahhs at us a lot and he likes to play on his play mat. He still spits up- ALOT. We are always washing burp rags. I still alert the world to his spit ups. He knows my voice and can tell when Momma and Daddy come in the room. He has been on his first road trip and survived. Looking forward to the next 4 weeks before Momma goes back to work.

Davis' first trip to Marshall

Daddy used to play on this engine when he was a kid. They moved it from the park by Pappy's old store to the actual train station. We all went to check it out.
Here is a caboose that the whole fam climbed on. Nice closed eyes Momma.
Slip-n-sliding cousins!
I took a spin. These thing was oof limits for Davis. We soaped it down with dishwashing soap. Talk about slippery.
Pappy- where's that milk cow? I'm not getting out of this truck until I see Elsie.

Cute cousin picture.
My cousins decorated the Ranger for a 4th of July parade at Nana and Pappy's house. Our ATV one first prize!
This is a picture of Nana's new horse. We all stayed clear of her because she is a little fiesty. Pretty horse though right?
Check out Pappy's tractor. It is huge isn't it?
Here is that big milk cow. Momma thought she was prego but she is just F-A-T! Elsie had tons of flies on her but she was fun to ride. I was talking about riding a cow the whole way up to see Nana and Pappy and I finally got to do it. Super cool!

Trip to Marshall Part 2

Davis got a chance to meet his Aunt Sally on our trip to Marshall. I did not want to be left out of the picture!
Somebody held Davis the whole time we were gone. Normally Aunt Michele was the baby whisperer but occassionally Pappy could get hime to chill out too!
Davis was sporting his swimming outfit at Aunt Sally's pool but stuck to the bouncer instead.
The rest of us had a great time in the pool. I enjoyed drenching Aunt Sally.
My cousin Brittany hosted a gameshow on Friday. It was all about American history with a few softball questions thrown in. Mommy was one of the contestants along with Uncle Rob and Pappy. Mommy was not the winner- much to her surprise.
