Ryan's 7th Birthday

Happy 7th Birthday Ryan!!!

The Family

Jacob has developed a bad habit - Pop. Anytime he sees someone drinking pop he wants some. we never should have let him taste it but neither of the other kids ever liked pop. Jacob can't get enough. Here he is sneaking a sip of mommy's.
Ashley, Ryan and Mommy

Here's the cake Grandma Terry made. Ryan is on a bowling league every Friday after school and just loves bowling! The back of the person's shirt says Hurd. What a great cake.

She also had one made with his picture on it.

Iowa State

Go Cyclones!!!

For Ryan's birthday we bought ISU basketball tickets and all went to Ames for the game. It was a big surprise to Ryan and we all had SO much fun!!

Here's the boys at the game.

Jacob didn't sit still for very long, he was pretty much all over the place. Good thing there were lots of empty seats around.
Happy 7th Birthday Ryan!!!

Christmas 2008

Merry Christmas!! Hope everyone had a great holiday. Here are some pictures of ours.

Look what Jacob got - a John Deere Loader tractor. Bappa is helping him figure it out.

Ashley asked for "big white sunglasses" on her Christmas list - and she got them!Here's Great Grandma Ruth modeling them.

Mason, Ashley, Ryan (Romo) and Tyler. Jacob wouldn't be in the picture. The kids all got Nintendo DS for Christmas. They seem to go into a trance whenever they are playing! Here's the boys Tyler and Ryan playing a game together.

Santa brought Ashley an Apple Ipod

And Jacob got a loader tractor just like Daddy's

And Ryan got a Dallas Cowboy's Tony Romo uniform and football. He wears it all the time.

Christmas Tree

The tree is officially up!

Ashley and Ryan had fun helping decorate and looking at the old decorations they made in school and preschool. Jacob wouldn't sit still for a picture.

Living History Farms Race 2008

Living History Farms Race 2008

Here's Team Bunt

The runners before the race.

Aunt Candi finishes first out of the Bunt Team. She placed 35th out of 7500 runners and got a medal. Brad comes in 1 minute later placing in the 100s.

He looks pretty good after the race though!

Here's a picture of what they ran through. There were 9 creeks total and hills and fields.

And here's Dad. He looks pretty tired, or something.

But he manages to finish the 7 mile cross country race!
And here are the 3 kids. Let me just say, they are a handful sometimes!

Here's Jacob sitting out by the pool.

And here's baby Miles.
We took the kids to the Science Center.

Barn Quilt & Honey Pictures

Here's some pictures we took today of Honey, Ashley and Ryan.

Daddy finally put up the barn quilt. Doesn't it look nice?

Happy 2nd Birthday Jacob!

Tonight we celebrated Jacob's 2nd Birthday. Hard to believe it's been 2 years.

Grandma Terry made an amazing cake (as she always does). It was a train that had all of our pictures on the sides, a tractor in the middle with Bappa driving it and Jacob up front as the engineer. The tractor didn't last very long on top of the cake, Jacob wanted it right away. Thanks again Grandma Terry!

Loving the cake!
