Catching up

It has been a long time since I last posted. For some reason, it has taken me forever to upload some new pictures. Here are some fun ones from New York.

Also a funny video of Jacob making him laugh.
Eric & I took Ryan to Gateway so we could see the Christmas lights turn on. It was cold and late and Ryan just wanted to sleep, but I couldn't leave before they lighted the big Christmas Tree. Right after they lit it, we had our picture taken and left. I couldn't leave early...come on, its Christmas.

Nemo

I tried to post the Palmyra post yesterday, but it wouldn't upload. So here it is. I will try to load Ryan laughing with Jacob and see if it works today. I did get Ryans Halloween costume for next year, however. He is going to be Nemo. They are clearing out their Halloween costumes at the Disney store out here and so I got him this costume for $5. Not Bad!!!

Palmyra

Ryan and I are continuing to have an enjoyable trip here in New York. Today we drove to Palmyra and were able to see some of the church history sites. What an amazing thing. I wish that we could have spent more time outside looking at things, but it was cold and windy and Ryan wasn't liking the cold air too much. Good luck this winter Haley! Well, The picture above this is Ryan and I at the Hill Cumorah. It is amazing that we were in the vicinity where Joseph Smith found the plates. It is such a wooded area, I couldn't belive that Joseph Smith was able to transfer the plates safely in that area.
Here is a picture of the Palmyra temple (in the background). What a beautiful temple. I wish that I could do a session there.
Here is Haley and cute little Alexis. She had the messiest diaper. Ryan hasn't had one that bad. It was all over the place. Haley basically had to bathe her to clean her up.
So we went to the mall the other day. All of the stores had their Halloween costumes on clearance. Well, we went to the disney store and they had all of their stuff on sale. Well this is Trevors costume for next year. It was on sale for I think about $12. It retails for $40, he has been wanting to wear it a lot. So funny. Jacob wanted to be Buzz Lightyear also, so they will both be Buzz for Halloween in '08.
Jacob and Trevor are hysterical. They are so loud and noisy and love every minute of it.



Here is a super funny video of Jacob making Ryan laugh.

New York

Ryan and I are currently in New York visiting my sister Haley, who just had a baby. Yesterday was quite the experience being in airports all day long with Ryan, all by myself. He did much better than I expected. I was lucky to be able to bring his carrier on the plane. He was so much better because he could be in that. I was almost embarrassed with all of the stuff that I took. But, I didn't know what he was going to need and so I feel like I brought his entire bedroom. He drank so much applejuice, I think it did him in. He also is having a hard time napping here, but he'll adjust. I'm big into letting him adjust to new things. Hopefully he'll want to experience lots in his life! He loves his cousins, especially Trevor. He and Trevor have been playing together today. It's so great to be here and visit Haley. I hope Eric doesn't miss me too much :) I certainly miss him lots and I just left yesterday. Here are some fun pics with Ryan and the kids. Here is little Lexi.

Happy Halloween

Today is a wonderful day! Ryan has had fun in his costume, for the most part. We have been all over the place and I think that he is so happy to finally be in bed sleeping. The trunk or treat was a ball. We ran out of candy in 25 minutes and I bought over 100 pieces. Crazy!!!

Kiddie Kandids Pictures

Yesterday we had Ryan & Nikki's pictures taken at Kiddie Kandids in their Halloween costumes. Check out the link. They turned out pretty good.
