Video of Ryan

Here is a video of Ryan at his first birthday party! I didn't take video of him and his cake because he was asleep which was pretty darn funny!

Instructions to view this video are below. The genius behind the camera (me) accidentally turned it sideways whilst taping and can't correct that for your viewing pleasure :(

1. If you have a laptop, turn it on it's side and view a right-side up Ryan

2. If you have a desktop...sorry bout that! Lay your head down on your desk to view Ryan's Bday song!

The cheese puff at the end kills me! My friend Spry will appreciate it :)

Pictures from the weekend!

Here are some pictures from our fun weekend with McCarthy - it was great to have him here! Working on a video from Ryan's brithday party...

HAPPY 1ST BIRTHDAY TO RYAN!

One year ago today, Ryan Alexander Mullin entered the world. He's such a wonderfully sweet and mischevious little guy - always getting into things (see previous posts and/or comments from his mommy), exploring life one step at a time and generally just being a happy, loving baby. We can't wait to watch him grow up and suceed in all he does. Happy, happy Birthday! Stay tuned for pics from his first birthday party!

Marshfield...

Marshfield is a beach city on Massachusetts' south shore. It's not only where I grew up during the summers but also where I first met Kevin. We have SO many memories of Marshfield, from playing on the beach in the summers to getting engaged there in the pouring rain and most recently - having some of our wedding pictures along the seawall with the Atlantic in the background. I cherish each memory we make there and it's so fun seeing our niece and nephews enjoy it just as much as we did growing up.

This weekend should prove to be like any other - relaxing with friends and family; with one exception.....Mike McCarthy. Someone gave him the nickname "Kato" years back and it all makes sense now. We consider him family since he did live at P&B Mullins when none of their kids did and set up their Xmas tree year after year because BDogg asked him to (which somehow has now turned into my job). Fact is, he'd do anything for anyone - just like Kato Kaelin did for OJ :) - he's just part of the family! I'm sure this weekend will be filled with numerous "Bentley College" stories that I don't care about, intense games of wiffle ball, yachting on the high seas, and of course the ever expected "I'm in waaaaay better shape than you are" conversation between he and Kevin and other witty banter to one-up the other. It should prove to be a super fun weekend - let's hope the weather holds up!

Here's a picture from a few months ago of Kev, and our two dogs: Tucker and Peanut on our beach, Sunrise Beach...I'm posting it just because it sort of ties into the theme of the post and I couldn't find one of McCarthy with his shirt on :)

Shelby's Bridal Weekend!

So, I was SO incredibly busy getting things finalized for Shelby's Bridal Weekend in Disneyland that I didn't even post anything to say I was leaving! Here are some fun pictures of the weekend! It was such a blast seeing most of mybest friends in one place - only 3 more months Shel until you're a beautiful bride!!! XO

All the girls heading out for a night in Downtown Disney!

Look at that hair!

Here are a few more pictures of Eliza!!

Watch out world, he's on the move!!

Kristen and Randy are really in for it now... Ryan began walking this weekend!! I saw him today and he walked right over to me with a huge smile on his face. Randy put an open beer in the fridge last night and Mr. Ryan walked over to the fridge, opened it up, grabbed the beer and tipped it up to drink it in true Mullin fashion! Thankfully it was snatched from his hands before he got a taste...

Oh yeah, he loves climbing the stairs too........Good luck guys!

Isn't she lovely, isn't she wonderful...

Okay, so Eliza is just the sweetest little girl. We saw her yesterday (and stupidly forgot our camera) and she was sooo sleepy and peaceful. Next time, I'll have to get a picture of that head of hair - wow!!! She has her dad's nose and mom's lips, too cute! Here are a few more pictures from the hospital on her birth day. More to come!...

Clapton = Awesome!

We had a rockin' good time at Eric Clapton last night! Robert Randolph and the Family Band opened for him and came out with him during the encore, it was fabulous. If you haven't heard RRATFB, GO BUY their CD! I heard them a few years back and they're incredible!!
Watching Clapton play on the big screen so close to our seats was such a treat. His level of talent is extraordinary!! He played some new, mixed with old and closed it out with the hits that got everyone out of their seats! Here are a few shots, enjoy!

Welcome to the world, Eliza Mae!!

We've been waiting 9 months to find out what Julie was having. Alas, the wait is over! We're so excited to welcome the newest member of the family, Ms. Eliza Mae! She arrived on June 5th at the ungodly hour of 3:47am weighing in at 6lbs 9oz.; 18 1/2 inches long. She has a TON of blonde hair and gorgeous blue eyes. She's the perfect mix of Julie and Jason.

Both mom and baby are doing well, so is dad even though he's got a sore back from the uncomfy hospital cot. We'll post more pictures from out other camera once Kevin downloads them. Until then, enjoy a few pictures of our beautiful little niece! Congrats to Jules and Jason!!!

Laaaaaayla, you've got me on my knees...

Tonight we're heading to the Tweeter Center to see the one and only: Eric Clapton!! I got tickets for Kevin's birthday a few months back and am so glad I paid extra for the covered area since it's rainy today. I'll post pictures tomorrow, should be a great show!

Happy Birthday Fitzy!

I hope you had a fabulous day!!!! Love you lots!!
