Jeff, Jane, and Ryan go skiing!

Jeff took the kids skiing today up at Sundance. This was Ryan's first time. Jeff just took him up the tow rope a few times. Jane went once or twice last year, but this was her first time going down a real ski run. Don't worry, she didn't fall off the lift! They had a ton of fun and want to go back now!

Little Gym

Ryan has been going to Little Gym this past semester and had his last class last week. He likes using the gym equipment, but his favorite part was always when it was time for balls. Then he would spend the rest of the time playing basketball . . . and making me guard him. I'll be honest, by the end of the semester I was ready for a break! Maybe that's just the 8 month pregnant part of me talking, but we won't be doing it next semester. Maybe in the summer . . .

Pictures with Santa

We took the kids to see Santa. Now I know you might think that we do this to torture our kids, but one of these years they will not be scared . . . maybe. Jane started crying about an hour before we left to go to the mall and didn't stop till after the picture was taken. After it was all done, Ryan gave Santa a high five and Jane said she loves Santa and will be brave next year when she's 5 (that's what we heard last year). Oh, and Jeff didn't get the memo about us trying to stay out of the picture this year. Merry Christmas!!

Happy Thanksgiving

Jane dressed like an Indian today for preschool. She had her Thanksgiving Feast and loved it (who wouldn't?)! She liked the corn and rolls the best. It is so fun to see her grow up and enjoy school. She is really looking forward to kindergarten. Ryan can't wait to go to preschool! He tells me all the time that he is 3, so he can go to preschool now.

I can't believe it's almost Thanksgiving! Being pregnant during the holidays has helped it to go by quickly for me. I have 8 weeks to go! So basically that's just getting ready for Christmas, Christmas, and putting Christmas away, and then baby will be here! We are all excited, but Jane is the most excited! She is just planning and planning all the ways she will help the baby. She is still a little mad that the baby will not be in her room, but once she hears all the crying, she'll probably get over that one.

I hope everyone has a Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Big Boy

We have a big boy now! Ryan is potty trained (pretty much I mean). He even wears clothes now with his underwear and basketball shoes. I am very proud of him and excited to start leaving the house for more than an hour at a time!
