Wide eyed!!

Brent and Janeese were in town this weekend since we didn't get to see them over Christmas break. The first night they were here we went to the rodeo. Ryan loved it!! He was wide eyed the entire time and kept getting so excited. Two cowboys at heart!

Ryan was so excited to see all the horse come out!!

I finally found my charger!!

I found my charger for my camera and this is the first picture I took, Ryan had just been waiting to have his picture taken!!

Favorite Past Times

Ryan LOVES the drawer with all my cooking utensils!!! It's one of the first things he goes for in the morning when he wakes up, and the are strewn all over the house by the end of the day. I just think this picture is too cute not to share!

Christmas Morning! Santa Came!

Christmas

Well Christmas was kind of lack luster this year since we were all sick!! Ryan was the sickest with a temp of 104.4 the day after Christmas!! We were uninvited to Mimi's house, so we stuck around the house all day being sick!! Such a bummer, Ryan had enough energy when he first woke up to play with his toys for about a half hour and then took a three hour nap. He was teething all four molars and had bronchitis!! Poor baby!!

Christmas Eve Ryan wasn't showing true signs of being sick until we were about to leave when he had a temp, I just thought it was his teeth. We had a fun night with Jared's family.

Can you say cheese!!

this is what Ryan does every time I pull out the camera!!

You got love High School Football!!

We went to Jareds high school football playoff game a couple of weeks ago and it was FREEZING! We got there a little into the 1st quarter and it was packed, we sat at the VERY top of the stadium. Ryan wasn't to sure about the cold weather and all the noise, high school games are MUCH louder then college!!

He kept his hat and gloves on the entire time, it was that cold!!

First Movie

The other day we took Ryan to the IMAX Omni Theater in Fort Worth, the movie was about Dinasours and Ryan loved it. He did pretty good and sat still for the whole 45 minutes!

whats the draw?

why do kids love laundry and folded clothes?? Everytime I have a pile of folded clothes Ryan has the urge to come over and knock it all over!!

We have not fallen off the face of the earth yet...

Here's a little update from the last month or so... We have been able to spend alot of time with family, which is just the best! Here's Ryan watching to Christmas Parade in downtown Dallas on Gramps shoulders. It was a very cold morning, so we were all bundled up ready to see the parade!! Luckly Ryan knows when it is cold and will leave his hat and gloves on until the moment he sees the car or house, then all bets are off!!

Last week we had one day of GOURGOUS mixed in with days of 30 degrees, radom I know but that's what happens when you live in Texas!! It was great so I called my mom and we headed to the Zoo with all the grandkids(Matt was having surgery, so Mimi had the girls for the day!)

What a BEAUTIFUL day it was!! It always shocks me when the zoo is empty on such a wonderful day-maybe people just don't have the same enthusiasum for the zoo that I do-first of all since I have a pass it a free day, the only thing I pay for is to feed the birds(his favorite, no fear at all, Ryan sees animals which he loves and he leaves tired ready for a nap!! I think on this day he was asleep before I even started the car!! It's a total win win situation!!

This is my new hair do!! I love it, stacked in the back and dark!!

Two birds on one stick and he's able to still hold the stick!!

Um, it might be easier from down here since they don't jump on the stick!! Since it had been so cold I'm sure the birds were starving!! We were attacked the moment we walked in the door!! Ryan loved it!!

Thanksgiving at Katie's was great!! Katie made all the kids these cute shirts, Ryans said Turkey, with a Turkey on it!!

Okay, now I'm going really private

Well my computer crashed this week, so I'm going really private-unless I get a computer fairy god mother in the next couple of days!!  I feel lost with the world without my computer!! I guess I'll manage until the day comes that I can replace my best friend with a new one!!

I hope that everyone has a wonderful Thanksgiving, and has a lot to be Thankful for!!  I'm so thankful for my family, and my wonderful husband who works hard for his family, my happy boy who(most days) is a joy to be around, and this new baby that is growing and developing, waiting to join our family.  Dinner was great and it was so nice to be around family after so many years of doing it on our own!!  

I can't resist....

So the other day Katie was watching Ryan for me(he had just gotten over the nasty bug)while I was out of town for a craft show. Katelyn called me and asked if I had received any pictures on my phone yet, um no, I thought she was sending me pictures of a shirt she made for Ryan for Thanksgiving, she told me she wouldn't talk to me until I had seen the pictures, and promptly hung up. I wasn't able to get to a computer for a little while and Katie called me twice in that time, I just thought she was very excited. Well I got home and got on the computer and this is what I found.....

If you can't figure out what that it coming out from behind my son, as my sister said,"It's SHIT!!" She said that NO other word could be used to describe the awful mess that Ryan was totally content to sit in. And if only the computer had smell-o-vision, you couldn't imagine something so horrible smelling coming out of a amazingly happy baby!!! I thought he was over this part of being sick, I guess I was WRONG!! I'm so sorry Katie, I know you didn't sign up for that, and did I mention I think that in the few hours he was there he took three baths and had two more diapers like that!!! I owe my sister HUGE!!

Don't forget I'm going private so please send me your email addresses!! I know you want to see more pictures just like this! : )

I'm doing it too!!

I'm so sorry to all but I need to go private....please leave me a comment with your email address or email me at emily_s_king@yahoo.com!! You have about a week to get me your info!!

I'm huge!!!

Okay so with Ryan I didn't show FOREVER, not the case with this sweet little girl rapidly growing inside of me!! So I haven't really gained much but this belly is HUGE. Yesterday I was at Target and this lady(who was not all there, and I'm not just saying that to make myself feel better) started to talk to me about Ryan, typical chit chat, then she asked me if I was having another one.....uh yeah.....then she realized I was pregnant and proceeded to tell me how huge I was and that if I wasn't careful I was going to have a 10 pound baby!! Thank you lady with no bra on and a twitch, I really appreciate hearing that I'm as big as a house and I still have 3 months to go....yippee!!

sorry not a great picture of me!!

Drum roll please...the mom of the year award goes to...

Yes that is my 16 month old drinking Starbucks!! I'm such a good mom!! Okay so it's not a Chi or cappuccino so everyone can wipe their scowled "BAD MOM" look off their faces , it's just a little chocolate milk, the leftovers of my Salted Carmel Hot Chocolate(my new favorite drink ever!), the girl offered me the leftovers with a little extra cold milk and Ryan loved every sip, in fact I don't think he took his mouth off the straw, and just kept saying, "mmm!" after every gulp! This boy defiantly has a sweet tooth, like his uncle Scotty!!

Spa Day

I have had a bunch of stuff going on (sick baby) and forgot to make an entry about my glorious Spa Day!! My friend Shelia is going to be having a baby in December, I made her a crib set for her new bundle of joy(which is going to be a boy), I made the crib set as a gift and didn't expect ANYTHING in return. Well Shelia went over the top and gave me a gift certificate for a spa day at a fancy boutique hotel in downtown Dallas called Hotel ZaZa. It is decorated in Moulin Rouge style, and way out of my norm!! I loved every minute of it-I had a 80, yes you read that right 80 minute massage, an hour pedicure and then a manicure!! It was a wonderful afternoon, especially after moving and unpacking!! Thanks to Katie and my mom for watching Ryan for the afternoon. My mom was dragged into it because I forgot to take my carseat out of the car before I left, so Katie was stuck at home but Delaney needed to be picked up at preschool!! It was a wonderful day and I'm so thankful for Shelia and her very generous gift!!
