HAPPY (late) BIRTHDAY to my MAN!

Last week was Ryan's birthday (Jan 17th) and my friend, Sara, was so nice to watch Dane while I took Ry out on the town. It was nice getting out for an evening with no kid and no school talk. Dinner was yummy too! A couple of days later we had a combined birthday (for Ryan and Rhett) get together with yummy dessert. Man these boys are getting old :)

1-10

The other day Dane and I were walking down our stairs and then he started counting with each step. I had NO clue he knew how to count. Now he counts everything...

This is his version:
(he skips one and starts with 2)
do
we
bow
bie
tik
weben
(no 8- i still need to convince him that there is an 8 in between 7 and 9)
nine
den!

Christmas Recap...

This Christmas was fun and a little different. We stayed put and Ryan's mom, dad, and little brother came out to stay with us. We had some yummy food, played games every night and I even attempted to make my first Lemon meringue pie with fresh lemons I picked over at Ryan's school. My mom and all of her sisters are amazing cooks and that includes pies. I called her for her recipe and was surprised that it turned out almost as good as hers. I don't have many pictures from the Christmas break so I posted the most recent picture of Dane that I have.

This picture was taken at an outdoor mall by our house that has a little play area in the middle. Dane kept going in and out of this tunnel and then when I did not see him come out for a while I looked inside and found him just relaxing. This whole relaxing thing does not happen much.
ALSO..

Here you go Kaymee!- finally a pregnancy picture.
Here is a picture of me at 20 weeks. Less than 20 to go!! I am already in talks with my Dr. about induction. I don't want another big baby like Dane was.

Day at the Phoeniz Wildlife Zoo

We went to the Phoenix Wildlife Zoo during Christmas break and it was AWESOME! I wasn't quite sure if Dane would enjoy being at the zoo but he LOVED it! He loved all of the animals and especially loved the petting zoo. We taped Dane while he was in the petting zoo area and are so glad that we did. I thought he was be too chicken to go near the animals but he got right in there and tried even picking up one of the pygmy goats. We condensed the video that we got to show family but it is still pretty long. Enjoy Gma's and Gpa's!
