Santa brought him a BARN!

Just what he asked for, and this boy couldn't be any happier! He plays with this barn non-stop. He plays on it, in it, around it, and even beats on it with his new tool set :) Great Job Erik! (I mean Santa) :) We hope you all had a very merry Christmas!

Peek-A-Boo

We had our big ultrasound today! Little Baby is growing and all looked well (what a relief, I really worry about appointments like these) Anyway, he mostly wanted to hide from us. Ryder thought it was quite a fun little game playing Peek-a-boo with his new little brother!

Funny, he hated it last year...

Em reminded me of Ryder's dislike for snow last year. I had to re-post this picture, just so you all could see how things change. I got a good laugh out of it....

Somebody at our house....

LOVES THE SNOW! Where did Ryder come from? We're not sure.... all we know is he loves the snow. After begging all morning yesterday, Erik took him out in it. He was in heaven! Me and Erik are not huge cold, snow people, but our little guy wants nothing more then to freeze his little hands and face :) I guess it does make it look a little more like Christmas, so thats good! Hope everybody had fun in the SnOw!!!

Looks like Dad might be getting a snow shovel for Christmas!

I Love This!

All READY to PLAY!

No, this isn't a joke....

this really is ME. I am huge, I told you all. I am 19 weeks today with this giant - little man. I am doing good, and so far this pregnancy is going really well. I think we have decided on the name Madden. Middle name is still a debate :) This picture compares to the one when I was 7 or 8 months along with Ryder. By my third or fourth baby, I may not be able to get out of bed after the first month! :)

baby BOY`update :)

Well, we went to the doctor last night, and our little guy is definitely still a BOY! I keep having people tell me that it could change, and I really had my hopes up for a boy. So we were relieved to know that 'he' is a BOY! Everything looks good, he was darling, sucking his thumb and kicking like crazy. It seems like it has been a long time since I was pregnant. Man, you forget things fast. This is quite a journey and we feel so blessed to be adding to our little family. I am 18 weeks, so nearly half way there. And his name is still undecided, but we are leaning towards Madden, since Ryder is still set on it :) He knows something we don't, at least thats what it seems sometimes! Anyway, I will post belly pictures soon.. (and yes, my belly is huge) I'm already having to wear maternity pants and my doctor Machel last night, said, 'Wow, you're really poking out'.... way to make me feel even bigger :)

Is it too early??!

We couldn't wait. We had to put up the trees. Ryder has been asking for awhile now and I finally gave in! I thought for sure we would have alot of broken ornaments, but he has done really well. He loves 'His' tree. When I found the ornaments last year I couldn't resist. It is definitely an all boy tree:) We set his up in his playroom, with a train and all underneath. It is fun to have a new house this year and places to decorate. I am realizing though that my few Christmas things don't really fill up the house. I guess its time to go shopping:)
