How cute is this team.....

Love my boys!

I'M 18 MONTHS OLD!!!!

WEIGHT:  23.7 lbs

FAVORITE ACTIVITY:  Playing with my iphone.  He knows how to lock it and play the different apps...nice

FAVORITE WORDS:  Help (elp), please (puh-puh), moon, choo-choo, Brobee (sometimes sounds like boobie)

DISLIKE:  Doctor's office and shots...oh boy he cried bloody murder when they gave him his shots today!  But in all fairness he had four shots to the leg...man!

MOM'S FAVORTIE:  Ry loves helping me with chores.  He puts the laundry in the washing machine, puts dishes in dishwasher, and cleans the windows.

DAD'S FAVORITE:  Repeat the word game.  Ry will pretty much repeat anything you say (in his own language of course) 



Happy Birthday Teresa!

Birthday's are just a good excuse to go to sushi...so thank you for having a birthday Teresa.  Another year younger!  We love you!!



Sam-O's party

 Sam-O invited us over to his pad on Sunday for dinner.  Once again, Ayla was in the midst of all boys.  Moses arrived shortly after so he didn't get in on the photo shoot.  We had to leave early to go celebrate Gma Teresa's birthday so we didn't get to bust out the Wii Dance...maybe next time.  (If you are reading this Julie...the party was GRRREAT!)



Elf on the Shelf

For Ryden's birthday, Cody bought him a new Christmas tradition.  Enter...Elf on the Shelf.  It's an elf that watches Ryden's behavior during the day and then returns to Santa each night to give him a full report.  Naughty or Nice?  The elf then returns each morning and is in a different spot where Ryden must find him.  So, I know Ry is a little young but I love this tradition so I am starting it now.  The directions specifically stated that you must give your elf a name ASAP.  So I held him up to Ry and asked "who is this?"  After several askings he said the same thing over and over each time...

    Meet..... Dit the Elf

And our stockings are hung (a little early) by the chimney with care.  Hand made stockings from Elyse I might add

I love Christmas!

Goodbye Papa G......

Jason and Melinda's Grandpa.  Teresa's dad.  Ryden's Great Grandpa.  What a wonderful man.  I instantly attached to him the minute we met.  I could sit for hours listening to his animated stories.  Such a gentle soul.  I will always carry the fond memory of watching 'Sound of Music' with him while he piped in with comments every so often.  He will be greatly missed...

Love you always Papa G...
