Marshmallow Mondays

Who Are The Marshmallows?

The Original Marshmallow:   His name is Rydan.  He’s my favorite 7-year-old.  He has brown hair, a big smile like his dad, and a personality all his own.  He likes peanut butter and marshmallow sandwiches for lunch, and occasionally he asks for ”dippy” eggs or cereal for dinner.  He likes toasted bread with peanut  butter or jelly as a side with most meals.  He prefers to choose his own clothing, but he likes reassurance that things match.  He has a cone of ice cream every night (green cones are his favorite), and he can’t go to sleep without reading a book.  He likes to play Wii and watch Friday Night Raw.  He loves to play Spongebob Sorry and Spongebob Uno.  He has an imagination that soars daily with sound effects to match.  He looks forward to Halloween all year long and owns numerous costumes that he wears year-round.  He loves to give hugs.  He hates bugs, especially “stink bugs.”  His favorite baseball player is Chase Utley.   He makes up the greatest stories and reminds me that life is meant to be enjoyed.  He has the time of his life every single moment of every single day.  Rydan is my step-son, my marshmallow, and my inspiration for writing this blog.

He’s also very photogenic…

The Newest Marshmallow:  Lily is my precious little lady who touches my heart every single day.  She was born on August 16, 2010, which just happened to be a “Marshmallow Monday.”  She is full of animation and life.  Her pretty almond-shaped blue eyes can melt anyone’s heart in an instant.  She is one determined little lady with quite a comical side, just like her big brother.  Lily loves to snuggle and be close to her Mommy and Daddy.  She loves to dance, take bubble baths, read books, and run around outside. Lily likes to sleep with her mouth wide open, just like her Daddy.   People say Lily looks like her Daddy, and although Mommy agrees that she does have Daddy’s mouth, her long legs and fingers are like Mommy’s. Lily also has her own special characteristics like her nose and swirled cowlick on the right side of her head. Lily spends her time eating, napping, going for walks, playing with her toys (tupperware dishes are her new fascination), visiting the playground and snuggling with Mommy and Daddy.  She is intrigued by television remotes, cell phones and laptop computers.  As the littlest “Marshmallow” of our family, Lily brings a new love to all of our hearts.
