Birthday Weekend!!

Mama Rae, Bampa Dae and Nick came over for the birthday weekend. Time sure has gone by fast, and our lil' Ryky is already three months old. It's always nice when we have company, because when Rock receives three times as much attention he is three times as happy. It also means that instead of playing man coverage on the boys we can go into a two-on-five zone, and even Jim Boylen will tell you that five on two is better than two on two.
Rock loves a good birthday cake, and this time he learned to use the candles to scoop up the delicious frosting.

"Um, are you going to eat that?"

Bampa Dao made sure that Rock had plenty of ice cream and cake all night long...
and all the next morning.
Nick was more than willing to help with the boys, and it gave Mom a chance to stare at him and imagine if he were actually in the process of looking for a girlfriend to eventually get married...she's funny when she imagines outrageous stuff like that.
We went to Southcenter Mall on Saturday morning to look for chick stuff and to say hi to the pink elephant outside of the Rainforest Cafe. After we got home, Mama Rae and Bampa Dao started the process of leaving for home. Mama Rae spent time cooing at Ryker...
While Bampa Dao put Rock down for a nap. An hour later we checked on them and found this:
They were both so tuckered out, but eventually Bampa Dao woke up and decided to leave before Rock woke up. He gets a tiny bit cranky when his guest leave without him and make him stay with his boring parents.
Rock woke up a little cranky, and so we took him to the toys at Bellevue Square to distract him from his crushing loneliness. It worked pretty out pretty well.
There were about 1.4 million kids playing on the toys, so DeA thought it would be fun to play "Where's Rocko?". Can you find him? For about fifteen minutes she couldn't either.

All the running around and playing with the other kids tuckered the little guy out, and he was finally ready to go home...
After a quick stop for some 'lemomae'.
Happy three month birthday, Ryker!!
