Crazy Kids!

I have been playing mom for the last few days. Watching my siblings while the parentals are in the Bahamas... In the tradition of the old days we had to do something fun and silly... So I decided that we should go to Gattitown to do so good old fashioned family bonding. We had a blast! After eating our yummy pizza, we went to the play room. (They all thought they were too cool, but they did have a little fun.) I wanted us to play the horse race game, but only compete against each other so that one of us was assured the winning spot. So when we were asked if we wanted to join I said no we just want to play together. Then Jenny says, yeah we want to get the prize... Well just so you know, I WON!!!! YAY for me! I was even kind enough to give Jenny my ducky. When it was time to cash in our 40 points (yes, we are that good), we decided on vampire teeth all around. Then on the way out we got some icees to go and the boys were walking around eating pizza without a plate. Erik even got some to go...So check out our fun pics!

Holy Moly!

So this cute little thing was by my feet in bed this morning!!! I have been staying at my parents house babysitting the siblings while the parentals are in the Bahamas, and this is what climbs into bed with me!!!! I really miss Aaron and Buddy. I guess I won't complain about Buddy sharing the bed since at least I have yet to find a spider when he's in bed with us...

Buddy and all the rest

Buddy's newest favorite toy. This is like one of 3 toys that we have bought that he is not able to tear up... He loves to sleep with the Kong.








This is Buddy on the ride to Dallas... For the first hour we had to fight to get him to stay in the back. Finally we won and he feel asleep...










At my parent's Buddy had to stay in the backyard during the day. The Ringqvist's are not dog people.... Once we got there, he did not sit down for about 9 hours until he went to sleep. It was so fun for him to chase after bunnies off his leash!









Here is Buddy crashed out in the only shade he could find on the 2nd day.







Here is our first official family portrait. Aren't we just so cute. This is after Jenny's graduation and we had to go outside to hang out with Buddy!

Jenny's Graduation

Jenny graduated the day after Mikael's birthday... In case you did not already know she is continuing the Ringqvist tradition of being a Fightin' Texas Aggie! Here is how she decorated her cap.












All the Ringqvist kids! My how we've grown!!!! I can't believe that half of us have graduated from high school, although it was like a million years ago that I did...











Here is Jenny with mom and dad. Enjoy the home cooking while you've got it Jenny... oh yea, now you can just come to my house...

McKinney

We were in McKinney last week for Mikael's birthday. Here he is on his 17th birthday!! I can't believe that he is so old!!!!

Trifecta No. 3

So we just celebrated the 3rd Annual Bryant Trifecta. We have been married for 2 years now! Wow time flies!!!



Here's the super yummy cookie cake that we got to celebrate the birthdays and anniversary. Because we are really just grown up kids, we went and played putt-putt on my birthday. Then we went out to eat for our anniversary on Friday. On Sunday we went to eat with Aaron's family. Lots of fun and we even got some new games for the Wii. Just what we need. Aaron got us a WiiFit. It is sooo fun!! Many people are highly entertained by my virtual hula hooping! I got Aaron Super Mario Galaxy. So needless to say I have lost my magic touch on MarioKart. BUT it is summer vacation now, so I will have time to play more than once a week!





Aaron and I on my birthday!








Here is our little group who went and played blacklight putt-putt with us. The bowling alley has recently undergone renovations and this little gem is part of it. We had lots of fun. I have not played putt-putt for my birthday since I was in about 3rd grade because I pretty much stink and don't really like to loose... Like most times I play, I was in fact in last place... Oh well, good thing that I have learned how to control my temper a little better in the last 20+ years.






Here are my buddies who just left College Station. I am very sad to see them go and don't know what I will do without them. Here we are at the Fox and the Hound the night before school was out. Why do I think that it is a good idea to stay out until 11 PM on a school night????








Last but never least, here is a little pic of our baby. Buddy loves to lick Aaron's head.
