Anyone for a Swim?

The other day Jon and I were standing in the kitchen when Ryker came out of his room sporting this amazing outfit.....
He then proceeded to tell us that it still fit, but he couldn't figure out what the two holes were for at the top. We told him they were supposed go around his arms! After deciding he wanted to keep it on, he wanted to go swimming in the tub and of course Miley has to be in the tub if there is water in it! The enjoyment kids are able to come up with:)
So along with this post I will give an update on the baby. We found out that we will be expecting a......little girl. I have no idea how I will handle another...especially if she is as busy Miley. Will I ever get a mellow child! Even though my subchroinic hemorage is still there, she is growing and thriving as she should be. The doctor believes my condition will not go away before she is born, but isn't concerned because it isn't affecting the baby in any way, thank goodness.

Christmas Day







Christmas Day was alot of fun. Ryker enjoyed being around his cousins and going from one toy to another. I don't think the TV was watched for the next couple of days!



I think Ryker's favorite part was unwrapping everything first, then deciding which present he wanted to play with first.


Miley was still a litte confused by what was going on, but who can resist new toys! Whether they're hers on someone elses, she didn't care.

My parents bought this ball pit for the grandkids and boy did they enjoy it. Miley loved to get into and lay with her back on top of the balls. It was so cute.






Finally!







Okay, so I thought it was time I sat down and updated my blog. We will start with Christmas. We had a wonderful Christmas. We spent it with my family in Washington. And to make Ryker a very happy boy, there was lots of snow. So Jon, being the wonderful husband that he is, took Ryker and James sledding. He also let them ride Ryker's motorbike in the snow(Becky I am still waiting for those pictures!). They both had a blast, unless they got snow in the face. We tried to take Miley out, but the second she got snow on her mitten, she was done!:)

We found an awesome snow suit for Ryker, he was so warm in it, that he never wanted to come inside...poor Jon! James couldn't decide whether he wanted the mask or not, but it did last long enough to get a picture.

After riding around on flat ground, Jon wanted to take the kids to a hill, so we went to a hill not far from my parents house. Little did Jon realize was that not only would he have to push the kids down the hill, he would then have to chase after them so he could pull them back up the hill. Needless to say we only spent a little bit of time at the hill, but they did go back on another day!
