What more can I say...

Rustin grabbed his favorite monkey off the couch and actually but a diaper on it... but as you can see the monkey already pooped so he has taken it off, but mom wouldn't give him another one and he couldn't use the one he had because the monkey had pooped in it so he just left the diaper off. He also had to have a blanket for his baby, so he could be warm. I later found him sitting in his chair feeding his monkey. I think he is so cute. He loves his little brother and would probably take care of him for me if I would let him . He is a good big brother and tells me almost everyday that he loves his little brother. He wakes up in the morning and asks me where his daddy is and then where is his baby brother. Sometimes he asks about his brother before his dad.... We are glad that he loves him so much!

More of little Ryler

Ryler has been a little confused with night and day. This photo was taken last night at like 8:30 and he is all bright eyed... We love to see his eyes. I just wish it was more through the day, we are working on it.

My two little boys

Kloee and little Ryler

Rustin loving ryler... again.

Our New little Bundle...

This is our new baby brother.... Ryler Brian Fitzgerald. We are all so excited that he is finally here! He was born on the 21st and weighed 7 lbs. 8 oz. and was 19 3/4 inches long. Everything went well with the delivery. Randy, my Mom, and Mal were all there with me and I am glad that they were. I was only at the hospital for about 2 hours before he decided to grace us with his presense-- so, I didnt have any pain meds...ya know like an epidural... but, they all told me that I did well. If I can be brave with my next one I will do it with out anything again... if i can be brave. I felt so good after the delivery and we came home wednesday night.

Rustin was sure nervous to see me in the bed and with an IV in. I told him that mom was fine and it didn't hurt and then he decided to come sit with me and hold his little brother. Rustin just loves him to death... litterally. He would sit and hold him all day if I let him. He just hugs him and loves him and wants to hold little brothers hand.

He had to check out his little hands.

We all just love our new little guy...

Easter Sunday

Rustin was so cute just laying here... he was playing with baby Kenzi

Grandma had a little easter egg hunt in the house and Kenzi loved to play with the egg. Kloee and Rustin jut love to be around her when she is here.

Our Easter-

Rustin wasn't really thrilled at the Easter Egg Hunt. He didn't want to leave my side. It made it hard for me to get a good picture of him standing at the tape line before the Hunt.

After he figured out what we were doing he was so excited and only went for the real boiled eggs. I would sometimes stop him and show him a piece of candy and of course he was excited to get candy, but maybe the eggs were just easier to find. I think he liked the hunt this year and to get the eggs.

Rustin and Breann Ivie are about the same age and like to play together, when they don't fight over toys of course. She was so cute to show me her Easter basket, but little Rooney was ignoring me (How nice huh). Lately he is becoming better at pretending he can't hear...

Okay, so last year when we saw the Easter bunny all he did was cry... but he was only 1. So this year I heard they got a new bunny and was so excited because I thought this would help him to like the Easter Bunny. All day, and the day before that, we talked about the Easter Bunny and he kept saying "I like the Easter bunny". So I was sure that this year things would be different and he would like the Bunny. Well... I guess I was wrong again! Rustin even said "cheese" through that sad cry.

We went to Nana's house after the hunt to dye our eggs. This year he was the only grand kid that could make it to her house to color the eggs, but we still had fun. He had a blast, but was a little nervous the first time that he realized that he had colored his hands. I told him it was okay and then he really got into it.

Well, he couldn't dye eggs all by himself so mom and Nana of course got to help.

This is how his hands turned out in the end. The other side was just the same!

Tadah... We colored 3 dozen eggs and Rustin loved every minute. Nana told him to set the egg on the newspaper and roll it, roll it so that it would get the extra color off. He had a blast with this, and yes we had to roll every egg after that.

Rustin has a thing with wearing a towel around his waist. So.. Easter morning he woke up-- way to early-- and decided that he wanted to sleep in his towel. We put it on and then he went back to sleep. It was about 10 am before he finally woke up to come and see what the Easter bunny had brought him. He found the fake eggs and realized that they had candy in them and that was all he wanted for a while. We had to tell him to find the rest of the things that the Easter bunny had brought him.

Rustin... Finding the eggs that the bunny had left him.

The Easter Bunny new he needed a new church suit... Doesn't he look so handsome!

A few of Mal's Engagement Pictures...

We went to altamont to take these pictures. It was a beautiful day and we had fun. They are so cute together... We are glad that carson will be in our family.

Our fun day...

Taking Mal's Bridals!

I think she is so gorgeous...

This was a fun shot!

The water was freezing, but the picture is sure cute!

We spent about 3 hours and I took about 350 pictures.... Needless to say we weeded it down to about 150 pictures. We had a lot of fun. Mal said she had a hard time smiling so much, but I think she did good. Even her serious face is gorgeous! We picked a good day for the most part. It was nice and warm and the wind only blew a little. Which I think was okay because in some of the pictures the wind is blowing her hair. It was a little hard to take any with the veil on because the wind made the back poof up and then it looked funny. But all in all I think we had a good day. Next we are on to her engagement pictures!
