Rylan's 4th Birthday

We can't believe Rylan is four years old! He was just a baby when we moved to Comanche; at least it seemed that way.

We had a small birthday party with some family that could make it. Rylan wanted a PJ Masks birthday; of course that is the newest cartoon so there is nothing available to buy. I made some decorations to hang up around the house and got green for everything else. His favorite character is Gekko and his favorite color is green. I found a template for a lizard cake online. We did a test brownie mix; it looked better than the actual cake but Rylan loved it! I did find some awesome PJ Masks masks of each character on Etsy.

 

 

He loves Romeo (one of the bad guys).

Dad got to be Gekko which is a big deal because that is really Rylan's favorite.

Later we got out of the house and went up to the new house to look around. The kids played outside and ran off some of the sugar from the cake and ice cream.

Madi found a flower and she was proud of it.

Rylan really wanted to hold Haydon

Soccer

Here are some pictures from Rylan's first soccer season. The season was only about six weeks thankfully. Three-year olds don't have much of an attention span. Rylan did not get into it too much but it was fun for the most part. He did enjoy the snacks after each game!

Haydon's first weeks at home

Here is some catch up from the last few weeks. Haydon has been a busy guy meeting some of his aunts, uncles, and cousins. We are settling in and getting more rest at night.

Caitlyn could not wait to hold him. Madi was indifferent.

Rylan has been such a good big brother and a great helper since we got home with Haydon. A few days after being home, he walked in the living room to inform us that he would now be calling the baby Haydon and not Jimmy Pockets.  We knew he would come around on the name but it actually happened sooner that we expected.

Rylan checks on his brother and holds his hand in the car.

Rylan wanted a burp cloth for his shoulder.

Play time in the floor. Haydon follows Rylan and recognizes his voice.
