Snow...yes I said snow!!!

It went from 80 degrees to snowing in about two days!! So, this isn't Spokane snow but still. I didn't think Ryans first time seeing snow would be in Aledo Texas!!
We just took a quick pic in the snow because Ryan has a cold. His nose is runny, sneezing and a little cough. All in all he's still pretty happy even though he is not feeling great.

First Thanksgiving!!

Well he didn't have turkey, and he slept through most of dinner but this was his first Thanksgiving and I'm so thankful for my wonderful family and that Ryan has joined our family. I couldn't imagine life without him, he is truly an angel.
Hanging out with aunt Page and Grandma Jo. We all had a wonderful day together and Grandma Jo truly out did herself cooking every thing. Thanks for a wonderful day.

Mom and Dad

This last week my parents moved to Texas!!! We are all so excited to have them near by, we are all just soaking in the Mimi and Gramps time. I know this move wasn't easy especially leaving behind such good friends and family, so I really appreciate the sacrifice that my parents have made to be near their grandkids. I'm so excited that our children will grow up having both sets of grandparent so close by since I never got to have that opportunity. I'm excited for dad and his new job. He seems so happy and relaxed and that's great to see he deserves it!! Good luck dad!! Thanks Mom and Dad we love you!

Eating real food-well rice cereal

Ryan had his 4 month appointment this week and we were given the go ahead to start rice cereal. Ryan loves it!! He will hold on to my hand and help shovel it into his mouth. Ryan is 15lbs 9oz and 28 1/2 inches long. That puts him in the 100% for height and 75% for weight. He barley even cried during his 4 shots. He was done crying before the nurse even left the room. He sure doesn't have my pain tolerance, maybe he has his uncle Brents looks and ability to with stand pain.
I've been waiting for these types of pictures- I looked down to scoop up another bite and he was out!!! He was eating rice and prunes(which he loved) bananas he just spits out.

Raking the leaves



This picture is twice sorry....We had such a fun day with Dawnell and Mya. The weather was beautiful and the kids were happy!! I do miss the colors changing, but I don't miss what comes after that..snow and darkness!!


I LOVE THE LEAVES





Spokane Falls



Look at those eyes



Angel face!

Feeding the ducks

This duck tried to eat my fingers!
Sitting on the City of Spokane blocks.

The big red wagon

This big red wagon is at a park in downtown Spokane, it has a slide and monkey bars. I've always wanted to take pictures at it.Going down the slide with Ryan
Look at how big those tirers are!!
In the big wagon

Riverfront Park

Statues of the Blooms Day runners...we're taking a jog with them

Lovely Carousel ride with Ryan. This ride went a lot faster then the one at Disneyland and he seemed to enjoy it better. It must be from all that fast swinging in his swing.

Look at him swim!

He's about to go under...
Looks he's under water...
Right back up!! He didn't even cry once, he really enjoys being in the water. I'm so excited that he likes the water so much, because I could spend every day in the water. What a big boy!!

I miss Arianne!!!

Arianne and I wasted many hours at work dreaming about having babies, we looked everything up you could lookup about babies- Now I'm a mom and she's about to have a baby girl!! I'm so excited for her. I came on the right weekend because I was able to go to her Baby Shower which was a lot of fun and I got to see all of her great gifts.
Look at that cute little bump!! It makes me miss being pregnant again, well not that much...

Young Women

I miss these girls so so so much!! I loved being in Young Womens in Liberty Lake. I was so excited to see all the girls and have them meet Ryan. What a wonderful bunch of teenagers.

Swimming in November

We went swimming at the YMCA on friday-Ryan had such a great time, he just loves the water.

I love the Thai Kitchen

This is Paul from the Thai Kitchen- I haven't been in, in over a year and a half and he remebered my name and exactly what I ordered!! It was still as good as I remeber, maybe even better!! I miss this restaurant, it's nothing fancy but the food is to die for! We went straight from the airport to the Thai Kitchen- This is Clint and Dawnell and one of their daughters Mya, I've been staying with them this whole week
