Ready or not, baby number two is on its way!! I went to the doctor yesterday and everything is going well. Baby was moving and kicking in the ultra sound, none of the pictures turned out very well because of that. Anyway I am due at the begining of August, August 11 is the offical day. That makes me 12 weeks today! Morning sickness has not been as bad as it was with Riley. I threw up several times with him, but so far with this one I have not trown up once. I have been sick but nothing to bad. I have been more tired, but most of that I think is Riley's doing. He has been a little sick lately and there for not sleeping well. We are excited, and hope everything continues to go well.

The bottom picture is the better of the two, but it is still hard to see. Baby was being stuborn and was moving to much to get a real good picture.

Over Christmas break we decided it was time for Riley to move into a toddler bed. He is only 18 months, but we felt that it was a neccessary change.

He loves his new bed, and will have nothing to do with his crib anymore. He willingly goes to his bed for nap time and bed time. He loves all the stars on his new blanket and pillows I made for him. The only problem is he is so excited for it all that the first two or three nights it took him two hours to fall asleep. Thankfully we are down to a half hour now. He is really good about staying in his bed during the night. I have only caught him out of bed once, and I think he might have rolled out and was confused on where he was. For the most part it has not been to hard on him, he has lost a few hours of sleep. I had read that some kids are very attatched to their crib and don't want to change, so I was glad that he was so excited.

Merry Christmas everyone!!!

For Christmas I am making Riley blocks. The blocks have been sitting on the floor in my craft room for a few weeks. Just the other day Riley discovered them. At least I know Rily is going to like his Christmas present.

Riley is so helpful! We were out clearing the walks and he went to the garage, grabbed a shovel, and promptly reterned to help.

Yes, that is broccoli he is eatting!!! The kid loves food with flavor, he loves pickles, and yes Frank's hot sause. He doesn't like cheese though! He will instantly spit the cheese out and gage.

As much as I do not like the cold, the snow can be pretty fun! We have a drainage pit by our house that we can go sleding at. Riley thinks it is fun to just be pulling around the yard in the sled though.



Riley loves to climb on the couch and hide behind the pillows. He will also climb on the couch and turn the lights on and off.

Every year growing up my mom, and Nicolas' mom would make or buy us a special Christmas Ornement. I always loved the tradition, and have kept it up. Riley loves snowmen so I thought it was fitting to make this years ornements snowmen!!

My snowman (or I guess I should say my snowwomen) is the one with the green hat and scarf, Nicolas' is the one with the red hat and scarf, and Riley's is the one with the blue hat and scarf.

More Cute Pictures!!

Here are some cute pics for your enjoyment, I am too lazy to type up the associated anecdotes.

One of Riley's favorite animals is a duck. So for halloween we dressed him as a duck. I could not find any yellow cloths so I had to make his costume.

My mom works at an elemantry school here in town, and they had a halloween parade on Thurday. Riley and I went and he loved all the attention. He was a little scared of the 5th and 6th graders though.
