Never a Dull Moment

So this month for Book Club (thanks Brit!) we are reading The Host by Stephanie Meyer. Now most of you probably now that Stephanie Meyer is on some best seller list for her triology about vampires(Twilight, New Moon and Eclipse)! Brittany talked me into reading them, and they were pretty good. I think I read all three in about 3 weeks. Her latest book recently came out and I'm having a tough time getting through it! I got to finish though so I can pass it onto the next person! Wish me luck as I venture into the world of aliens and love stories (at least I think that's what this book is about!)

I still can't believe that it's been two years since Brayden was born. It seems like yesterday Ryan and I were trying to figure out how to take care of a newborn. I guess you could say we made it through it. Now on to the next stage - Toddlerhood! I thought about having a birthday party with all of Brayden's little friends, (he's got quite the social circle for a two year old). But since we have decided to take him to Magic Kingdom at Disney World we kept it sweet and simple. Grammy and Pa Pa (Ryan's mom and grandpa) are in town, so we had a small little celebration at home. Brayden got a few gifts that he loves. (we kept the gift giving small, since we feel like we are busting at the seams of our house). Brayden received a couple of additions to his Geo Trax - if you have any boys I definetly recommend this, I even love getting down on the floor and playing with it with him. He also recieved a Mack Car Carrier. His friend Caleb has one and he seems to really enjoy playing with it. Grammy gave him a Teddy Ruxpin. Do you remember those? We haven't really had a chance to sit and read with his new bear, but once things quiet down we will sit and play with it.

It's been a couple of weeks since I've posted...but here is what we've been up to. Ryan finally finished his course at HCC. What a relief. He should be home now most nights as we ease back into our normal schedule. His mom and grandpa flew in for his graduation ceremony. Each person had the chance to have someone pin on their badge during the ceremony. Ryan and I decided that it would mean so much to have his grandfather do it. I think it meant alot to both of them.
