Mr. Potato head glasses. I don't think they fit but he tried anyways.

Warmth

Ryan and I left freezing Utah to go hang out in California this last week. It was so fun to see cousins and hang out at the beach and zoo! I took a TON of pictures, but for time sakes... here are just a few.

Ryan chasing birds. He did this ALOT! "Pet, Pet!" he kept saying!

Good Bye Beautiful California.

Tumbling Class

Ryan and I did a tumbling class this winter so we could get out of the house. Unfortunately, for two of the five weeks it was going we were sick and didn't get out of the house. Anyway, here is a picture of Ryan getting his little "medal" at the end. Even though he didn't know what it was, he sure wanted what everyone else was getting!

Just look at these BOYS!

"Edpa" and I took Ryan, James and Johnny to the Living Aquarium.

Johnny is such a lamb. He is so happy all the time. Just look at that grin!



James and Ryan having a blast. We will really miss our cousins. I know Ryan really liked following James around this Christmas time.

Welcome Christmas

I love Christmas time! Everyone seems to a little happier. This Christmas we are starting some new family traditions.

1-Looking at Christmas lights....we just drove around while Ryan sat in the back seat yelling, "More Ites! More Ites!"

2- Make sugar cookies. Our ginger bread men didn't turn out so good but Ryan was excellent at the stars.

3-12 days of Christmas. We weren't very sneaky and David & Constance figured out it was us, but it's been fun.

4- Listening to LOTS of Christmas music.

I'm sure there are more but those are the ones I can remember right now.

SNOW

Ryan's first encounter with snow.
I've tried to get him to walk in the snow before....but he had his snow suit on so all he would do is cry and want me to pick him up. Without his snow suit on he LOVES the snow. Thankfully, he will actually wear little mittens. (He likes them because they have a dinosaur on them.)

Big Cheese because we were playing peek-a-boo!



























Above: These pictures are from a few days ago. Jade came over to play. Ryan, being the gracious host that he is, got into our pantry and took out everything that he could reach and then piled it on Jade.

At first, she said, "Thank you," and "More." But when it was becoming difficult to see out she got a little worried look.
