Things in the past week

Well, let me just start by saying our lives are full of smiles, laughs, sadness, surprises, etc. This past week, our computer decided to take the plunge. So glad my Mac is still alive and kickin! AJ is coming home from school saying new things and sentences that take us by surprise everyday. He told me the other day, "Mommy be careful, watch out for the cars we don't want to crash." Ok so I am driving and hear this from my 2 yr old and I think, I have a backseat driver and he's only 2! But it was cute. He wanted to go to pawpaw's house this morning before school, but didn't want to hear that he was at work. So I drove by to show him pawpaw wasn't at home. Well he proceeded to say," mommy I will wait for pawpaw to get home." Mind you it is 7:45 in the morning. No concept of time at all. But again it's so surprising to hear our 2yr old talking so well for his age. A lot of the time we forget AJ is only 2 because of the way he caries himself. We are amazed everyday and so proud of him!!!

Ricky has been working, working, working. With the way our economy has been going we are just thankful he is staying busy. I am making things happen here at home. Keeping things tidy around here. Keeping everyone happy!! Ricky and I are training for the MS150 in April. Ricky is so much better then I am at this bike riding thing. But he also has been riding for yrs now. I need to catch up!! We had a ride this past Sunday and it was my first official ride. I did 17 miles and I am so proud of myself!! Ricky did 45 miles...show off! He did great also! So many more to come!!

Now Annabel on the other hand is all over the place just like her brother! She is walking now, and still into everything. She climbs out of her walker, she climbers our foot board at the end of our bed, she climbs the stairs and goes to their playroom and plays, she climbs out of her high chair. This little girl is so fearless. When we put he down to play she goes. Well we turn our back and she is not there. Well she is known to climb up stairs and go to the playroom. She is a piggy and eat everything. She has 2 teeth now. She wrestles with daddy and AJ alot and tries to pull the blanket over her head by herself,she waves bye bye. She is fun to watch and is all smiles.

I will post pictures as soon as we get our computer up and running again!!!

Annabel Ryann

Well our baby girl is growing so fast. We never thought we would have a girl, we wanted boys. But god blessed us with Annabel and we wouldn't have it any other way. We are blessed to have Anthony and Annabel, one of each!!!
She is not a baby anymore, she is taking steps now and her personality is so cute! She is very cuddly, very playful, rough and tough, crabby, all smiles, and she is all girl! She get sit from mommy...haha!
She is on the move and she is fast. I don't think she is going to walk very long, she may just start running, trying to keep up with big brother! We have a very active little girl. I guess he has to be to keep up with AJ. He is a very active 2 yr old.
SHe climbs the stairs every chance she gets, everything goes in her mouth, she doesn't like to be alone, and she likes to be held. She is cranky when she is tired and when she doesn't get her way. But you tickle her and she wont stop laughing, it's contagious.
She is a piggy and loves to eat! Don't think you can sneak food around here, nope she will see it and be next to you in a min. Annabel is a fun and playful little girl and we love every min of it. Both AJ and Annabel have been great and we are so proud to be called mommy and daddy!

Park City 2009


We made it home with all limbs attached!!!
We decided to take a family vacation this year, my mom made it part of our Christmas. So we all went to Park City, Utah for a few days to play in the snow. This was Anthony's second time there and Annabel's first time. It was Ricky and I and the kids, my parent's, my brother, my cousin Tammy and Aunt Virginia that went. We had so much fun. We went to dinner, we snowmobiled, Ricky skied and snowboarded, Richard snowboarded and so did I, We went tubing, did breakfast, sight seeing, played in the snow, shopped, had snowball fights, tried making frosty, we did a lot on this trip. Snowboarding again kicked my butt, but I like doing it. I suck but it's fun! Ricky tried it out this time and he also got beat up. He went back to skiing. Richard laughed at us, he is pretty good!!! AJ loved playing in the snow with PawPaw and having snowball fights. It was cold for Annabel but when she was out she like it. The girls went snowmobiling....haha we got stuck in the rent a car!!! not once but twice! It was fun!
All in all it was a great trip with the family and I would love to do it again anytime!!!
