Ry is 5!

Here are some pictures from Rylan's birthday.

He got a Lego Indiana Jones video game for the Xbox from Scott, but is that game really for him or his father....ummmm?



He enjoyed playing in the packing peanuts. . .

What was in the peanuts you might ask . . .a fishing pole and tackle box from Papa and Grammy!


This toy rocks, I would recommend it to anyone. It is a pitching machine that has three settings. A tee, a setting that pitches the ball straight up, and a setting that pitches it out at an angle, like 4 feet out. Now we don't have to spend hours pitching the ball to Rylan in the yard, which is one of his favorite things to do.


Then we took Rylan to a waterpark, this is us getting ready to go, and for those of you who haven't seen me lately my HUGE belly!


Rylan wanted to make cupcakes this year which was fine with me! I didn't have the energy to make a decorated cake like I usually do. After we went swimming we came home and made our own pizza's, decorated cupcakes, ate them, then took some extras to some of our neighbors. Have we ever mentioned that we love our neighborhood?

She's HERE!

Well, our little girl has finally arrived! Madelyn Kate Hoogland was delivered at 3:04 p.m. today (September 9th) weighing 7 lbs 4 oz and 20 1/2 inches. As you can see she has a FULL head of hair and we think she is the cutest baby ever! Mom is doing fine, we are just hanging out here at the hospital. Rylan is in very good hands at home with Grandma and Grandpa Young and Grammy Jody. Taking a bath, they had to wash her hair twice to get all the gunk out because it is so thick!

Our new nephew!

Yeah my sister Margaret finally had her baby! The poor girl spent hours waiting for her to be dilated enough to push and then started pushing to only realize that the baby was turned and his big burly shoulders could not fit, so they ended up doing a emergency c-section and found out that the umbilical cord was wrapped around his neck! He was in the ICU for a couple hours and in the mean time Margie was just waiting in her room for a LONG time to hold her baby. Anna and I went up there to keep her company and we were there when she got to hold her sweet baby boy for the first time (they did let her hold him for a very brief second right after delivery but had to rush him off to the ICU). Jeff (Margaret's husband) is so tender and sweet to Margie it was so sweet to see their love for each other and their new baby. He was 8 lbs 2 oz that is about the size of Madelyn, maybe a bit bigger, and Maddy is almost a month old. Notice her baby acne, i don't know what to do for it, but it ...

I've been picture tagged

I was picture tagged by my wonderful sister-in-law Breezi You go to your 4th Picture file, and Choose the 4th Picture and post and then blog about it. This picture was taken while we lived in Boise with Anna, it was close to Christmas time 2006. Rylan was obsessed with the Jock Jams CD and he loved this particular song that was a medley of songs and there was a part that said, "and look at him go, and look at him go, he could go all the waaaaayyyy." At this particular part he would put his hand up to his forehead like he was looking a far distance away. He learned this choreography from his mother who learned it at her best friend's (thanks Meghan) church camp what like 10 years ago! (What can I say I love dancing) I bet if that song came on between me and Meghan we could do the whole routine for you. I guess I have to pass this on...if you are willing, how about Meghan, Kezia (come on you need more pics on your blog anyway) and Monica, who is a excellent picture taker.
