Our Christmas Lights!





Boy has it been snowing! We have about 9 inches on the ground. It is really pretty right now, we are supposed to get rain on Christmas, so we are trying to enjoy the fluffy snow as much as we can. We built a snowman and forced Jack into making a snow angel. He was not impressed with us. Ah memories. Hopefully we'll get some daylight pictures of the snow before it is gone.

Christmas Tree

Our tree.
Sunset from the tree farm.

More sunset.

Jack!

Jack ready to drive yet again.
Wow! Another post within days of the last. Scary! We went to the tree farm today after Ryan got home from work. We tromped around looking for the perfect tree and of course forgetting that the camera was in Ryan's coat pocket the whole time. So we snapped a few quick pictures when we got back to the truck. We don't often get to see a sunset here due to the massively tall trees, so we were impressed with today's. Hope the holidays are happy and bright for all. Merry Christmas!

Yard Work


Jack ready to go for a drive.



Daddy getting Jack dressed for outside.
Last weekend we raked leaves. Jack enjoyed tromping through everything and hitching a ride from Daddy on the rake. It's like tubing, but without the snow. We even remembered to bring the camera outside with us and took about 50 pictures of the same pose. I decided to just pick the cutest pictures and save myself some downloading time.

Ok so the first two pictures are from our trip to Phoenix this fall. Ryan was supposed to be in charge of the camera, but unfortunately he isn't any better at remembering to take pictures than I am. So we have one picture of Jack with Ryan's sister to show for a week in Phoenix, and one picture of our pre-flight snack. We had a wonderful time seeing Ryan's family and touring some of the local sights.
The last two pictures are just random from the month of November. Jack has watched me row all of once and is a master now. As for candles they are behind the safety gate surrounding the wood stove, not because we are afraid he will burn himself, but more so the candle has a chance of continuing to burn.




Halloween Finally

Jack and Madison.
Unfortunately one of the better pictures of Jack's costume.

Grandma helping Jack get dressed.
So I know these pictures are horribly late and not all that great. Jack went as a pirate for Halloween. He was going to be the headless horseman, but didn't want anything to do with the stick horse, so mommy improvised.
By the time Jack was dressed he was way too wound up to hold still for a decent picture. Hopefully next year will be better.

Its a Girl!

The Family went to the Doctor's office today! It was time for Jill's first ultrasound (Round 2).

The official prognosis is a healthy baby GIRL. Everything was A O K. She is about 9 oz. and looks to be on schedule for the last week in April. Anyway here are some ultrasound printouts!
(Don't ask me what some of these are, unless its labled...)
