Day 8 of 30: Aladdin

Today, my sweet Mother-in-law took myself, Ava (my niece) and her granddaughter to see Aladdin at the Lincolnshire Marriott Theater. It was so cute and I actually really enjoyed it!

We went out to lunch with the kiddies afterwards and headed back to my mil's house so the girls could play.

While us girls were talking in the other room, the little girls were playing and I snuck in to take a picture of them sitting on the chair together playing at the computer. As I was about to take the picture Ava put her little arm around S's shoulder. How cute! :-)



Stacey and Little C came over. Ava just ate it up, she just loves babies and little kids. She is going to be a great cousin some day!

It was a great day just getting to hang out with family. I got to see Little T for the first time since I've seen him right after birth. He slept the entire time, but he was still cute. He has grown so much since I've last seem him.

And right about now, I'm blogging (and keeping good on my post-a-day oath thankyouverymuch) and my Mister is napping. Yeah, we know it's 8:24pm, but it's the weekend and, well we're not at the stage in our lives where we have to take care of a kid or go to bed early, so we can do it, right?! :-)

Day 6 of 30: And baby boy makes two

Here I am!

Making good on my promise of making up for yesterday.

Tonight, after work I went over to my girlfriend's house to have dinner with the girls.

And also to meet this handsome, cute little man!



Isn't he just so darn cute?! And so teeny tiny! His name is Owen and he is a little over a week old. What a cutie pie. There were some complications, but baby Owen and his wonderful Mom are okay.


Awww! He was just so cuddly! I forget how tiny babies are when they are newborns.

And of course we can't leave little Audrey out! She is just as cute. She can talk now and is just her own little person.

We had a baby boy!

Just kidding!!! We really didn't! But we made one HERE with our pictures!!! You should go there and try! It's fun!



I was hoping for a little girl, but you get what you have been blessed with, right?! ha! How fun!!!

He's here!!!

Lori (my future sil) and Doug welcomed their beautiful little baby boy into the world last Wednesday morning. So we had to go visit the new mommy and daddy and see the cute little baby.

He is just SO tiny! I forget how little they are when they are freshly born. Oh, so adorable. I could gush and gush!

I had to do a double take when she was walking down with little Tucker. I thought it was a little doll, definitely not a baby.

I got to hold him and oh, he is just adorable (do you think I can say that enough times?!). I asked Ryan if he wanted to hold him and his reply was, "maybe in a couple of months!" I don't blame him, he is so small, I think R thought he would break him! Most guys are like that though, I guess. Guess what though?! He ended up holding the little guy!

I can't wait for the day that we have little ones of our own. It'll definitely be a fun journey for us to travel on.

Uncle Ryan and his little nephew Tucker

Auntie Bella and little Tucker. Isn't he just adorable?!

Congratulations to the new parents!!!

Pictures and little ones

We had a really fun day yesterday. In the morning we went and visited a photographer and just loved them. They were awesome, their presentation was awesome, the pictures were great, oh it was all just so good. I think we're going to go with them. Which would be great because it would be a final checkmark on the main things needed for the wedding.

Afterwards we headed over to Mike and Stacey's (future bil and sil) to watch little Colin. He is just so darn cute and he's getting so big! He is walking now and was just walking around blabbering the whole time. It was too cute!!!

Once M and S got home, we all went out to dinner (an over priced dinner...might we add) and then made our way home. We had a great day!

Little C. He had Uncle Ryan's shoes on but we didn't get the camera quick enough!

Isn't he just adorable?!

This is my twin. Well not really, but we will have the same names once I'm married to Mr. McIntyre! :-)

Uncle Ryan and Colin playing video games together! I had to capture this picture. R was playing a video game and Colin had a controller that wasn't on. They were both sitting there staring at the television 'playing the game'. It was too cute! I think Colin thought he was really playing the game!

Auntie Bella and Colin. We were trying to get him to understand that I have the same name as the dog, but when R would ask him where Auntie Bella was he would look around for Bella the dog!

Our babies names

Ryan and I have been talking a bit lately about when we are going to start making babies. Then, the subject switched to names. While we have had our boys name picked out for awhile now, we've had to have some fun discussion on our girls name.

Obviously we're hoping for one of each! ha! :-)

Since God works in those ways. Right.

No, whatever we have, we just want it to be happy and healthy!

So back to the subject at hand.

Jack Ryan. This will be our boy's name. Jack was a dear friend of Ryan and I. He was an older gentleman who worked at the hotel where Ryan and I met. He would stock all needed things at the hotel and run errands as well as drive guests around. He was the most kindest man and really got to know each of us. We consider him a dear friend. He passed away last year and we wanted to honor him. Plus, Jack goes with our last name (or my future last name...)! His middle name, Ryan, is for obvious reasons...that's his daddy's name!

Oh and p.s. there will be no calling him J.R. for short...hate that...ick!

Now before I tell you our little girls name I want to tell you what I had originally liked. And that would be Madison. However, Ryan doesn't like it because he claims it's a strippers name (sorry if your whild is named Madison...I love it! It's not me!). I just like the nickname Maddy and it also goes so cutely with my {future} last name. So I told R that IF we have 2 girls (and my future sil doesn't use it...she liked it too) then maybe I'll just have to have my way! :-)

Olivia Bea. After my original name was rejected I was on the hunt for a cute name. I thought of Olivia before, not necesarily as my childs name, but thought it was cute. While I can't stand Olive, I do love Liv as a nickname. Too cute! The middle name would stand for a couple of things. Ryan calls me B all the time or BB...it's his little nickname for me, has been since maybe before we even started dating. Also, my Nonni's (Grandma) name is Beatrice, Bea for short. So we would be honoring her (hi Nonni!)(she reads my blog!).

I had originally thought of Olivia Grace, but I like that Ryan put some meaning behind it. It makes me glad to know that we both thought of a name for our little girl!
