Misc.

All dressed up with no where to go.

This is how we entertain ourselves on a Saturday night at my house.

Don't be fooled by Santa Claus. This picture was taken February 19th. Look how big our snow pile is at the end of the driveway!

Dull

I am so excited that it is sunny outside today! Finally. Not that you can really play out there, but still it is not gray.

Things are pretty dull around here. We all have cabin fever. Yesterday we went to Jumping Jacks just to get out of the house, and Friday Ryan and I made our regular jaunt to the mall to go to the library and playground. I feel so bad that Ryan never has anyone to play with, but there's not a lot I can do about that right now. He is watching to much tv, but playing a lot also.

Todd is still sore and black and blue from his hernia surgery. Hopefully he will be feeling better this week.

I am just doing the usual routine and trying to use my elliptical machine and lose some weight. It's so easy to put it on and so hard to take it off. I cannot wait for gardening season to begin!

Christmas Program

Well I am frustrated. Ryan actually did sing and do the motions at his program, but of course I can't get that video to upload...I can only get the one where he just stands there!

I also had to throw in a picture of our awesome real Christmas tree and of course, doesn't everyone have a pirate lurking around their tree? His pirate shirt is made out of old t-shirts at his direction so it would look like one of the Disney pirates.

Snow

Ryan and I enjoyed playing in the snow (15") on Saturday. I don't have snow pants though and was a little cold. Then we came in and made snow ice cream. Todd just sat inside and watched out the window. He opened the door and I shot a snowball right between his legs into the dining room!

Pure Joy at the State Fair

This year was the first year that Ryan rode the rides at the Fair. He was sooo happy. This is what life is about.

State Fair and Other Summer Pics

Ryan is in the red helicopter. I teared up when I saw him so high in the air.

I thought this cloud was strange looking. It was a cool, beautiful evening with no rain.

Swimming on My Own 1

Look at Ryan swimming with just his noodle. The teacher isn't holding on!

San Diego

A mere 24 hours before this I was getting sunburned in Balboa Park in San Diego CA.

These pictures don't do these delphiniums justice. I have never seen such truly blue flowers.
