Some thing new.
Ryder has never shown any interest in drawing or even coloring for that matter. We try and try but nothing. It's kinda difficult to even get him to work on writing his name for school. Now my niece who is the same age as Ryder is complete opposite. She can write her whole name and her pictures truly look like a 4th or 5th grader drew them! She has an amazing talent! This week Ryder has all of a sudden wanted to draw every day all day. He doesn't want to work on his name or anything but he wants to draw all sea creators, dinosaurs and silly faces. This is my FAVORITE! It will be framed and hung up some where, it's just so stinkin adorable. He drew it all by himself.

The days go by.
How is it that the kids are growing so stinkin fast!!
Ryder just turned 4 yet is going on 13! And my little baby girl is almost 2 going on 20! Yes that is right, where should I even begin with Miss Thing, thinkin she rules the world! Not in a spoiled bad way, she is just so silly and is catching on to the littlest things.. Then it's that moment that she pulls it out of no where and Justin and I will look at each other cracking up and go where the heck did she get that from! Now that I have already started talking about Averee I guess I will just continue and then get to Ryder after. :) I was just talking to my sister today about the second child. It blows my mind daily how much she picks up or copies Ry. I feel like she is so much more advanced then Ryder was at this age but have come to the conclusion it's due to her having a big brother to learn it all from! This child speaks clearer then the little 3 year old I watch! She is saying almost full sentences and the crazy part is you can totally understand everything she says. She is all girl. Karri cracks up when she comes over cause the first thing she does is show her, her hair cause my little girly girl HAS to have her hair done daily. She loves it! Averee is a huge baby girl and loves playing mommy, and she loves barbies (not a fan of this one, I personally hate them!) if we pass anything thing purple, pink, and light color she says "mine" and any dark colors "Ry Ry's" she has got down the difference between girl and boy things. This I do blame on my sweet Ryder... he is adamant about all girl things staying out of his room and if the tip comes in to the smidgen of his door way he freaks! All girl stuff is NOT OK IN A BOYS ROOM! according to Ryder. lol.. This is a perfect time to move on to Ryder. he is doing wonderful in school. Loves it so much and is excelling in everything. He has discovered a love of drawing lately, and he is overly excited to be starting Kong Fu in a few weeks. Anyone who knows Ryder has figured out this child has way more energy then 2 or 3 "normal" kids put together, mama is in need of finding a way to help him learn how to control it a little better and keep him busy so he doesn't drive himself and me crazy! Later this spring he starts soccer, and then summer t-ball. Yay for sports!!! haha.
I guess that gives you a little on where the kids are and how they are doing, will try really hard to update a little more often. :)

Oh and my daughter has her own sense of fashion. Her newest thing is to dress herself and most days this includes some sort of hat and scarf! So I guess I should say she enjoys "accessorizing"!Where has the time gone??
Wow where do I even begin. It's been a while since I posted anything. Here is my sisters trip to Seattle! We had so much fun, I can't even put it in to words.
Friday came and we hoped Karri would be feeling up to going and well just able to go. She had been sick all week, running a fever, the whole works! The poor girl was determined to go no matter what, but thankfully someone up stairs was listening to all our prayers cause she woke up feeling SO much better. We waited patiently for our time to load the car up and head to the airport. Our plane left at 6:10 that evening. It was a really long wait through out the entire afternoon. haha. The flight only took 50 minutes! Just enough time for us to have a glass of wine and breath it all in, you know the fact that it was just us and no kids or hubbies! We landed, hailed a cab and headed to our hotel. We stayed in down town Seattle with the view of the Space Needle outside our window. It was fabulous! The first night it was just Karri and I,we got settled in to the hotel and then headed out for a late dinner, and then Saturday morning my little sister who lives in Oak Harbor headed down and meet us at the hotel. After she arrived we jumped in the car for a little shopping, lunch and the main reason we went, the "Seattle Wedding Show" this ended up being a long long day, Karri was still sick and trying her hardest to keep up with us, me and her started drinking on the plane the night before and I think we ended up realizing at lunch on our last day we drank with just about every meal! Yikes... I guess that's what happens when you get away with out any kids all weekend and you don't have to drive anywhere!? Saturday night was a celebration of Brittney's wedding and Karri's birthday! We had reservations at the Space Needle and what a fun experience to do with my two sisters. It was beautiful up there, and the food was goooood! Sunday was our last day to gallivant around our plane left around 6 again. We slept in and then headed down to Pikes Place and water front to grab some food. After lunch we headed to Starbucks and the Aquarium, later we meet up with my brother, sister in-law and my sweet nephew (I don't nearly get enough time to spend with him) found some fun things for the kids along Pike street and then headed off to the airport for our trip home.
Over all such a fun weekend. It was just what I needed! The kids did great, loved their presents. We are already planning another trip come April! :)
