New Years Eve 2009

We had planned on taking the boys to dinner and then to Alvin and the Chipmunks on New Years Eve this year but while the boys and I were driving to town last week we heard on the radio that you could win tickets to The Bull Bash. Jace was all over that... he really wanted me to call in and try and win the tickets. I told him I would try but it was a long shot. What do you know... I was caller 9!! So plans changed and we ended up going to The Bull Bash. Really though it was perfect... the boys had so much fun!!!

Christmas 2009

What a wonderful Christmas and 2 weeks Christmas break we had. I LOVE LOVE LOVE that I am not really working outside the home (I say that because although I do have a job whenever I am working the boys are with me and I always have the exact same schedule as they do for school... how perfect is that!). I was able to enjoy these 2 weeks with them and we really didn't do a whole lot. We did go see A Christmas Carol one day which scared the dickens out of Rylan and we had to leave 20 minutes into it. But that was about it... otherwise we just hung out at home or at familys houses.

Santa was very good to the boys this year. Jace got an IPOD and Rylan got a painting easel. I got my food processor I have been wanting so bad and Josh got his waders for hunting he has been wanting. We all had a wonderful Christmas!!

From the mouth of Ry

Instead of just having a thing on the side of my blog that says it made me smile... I really need an entire blog dedicated to the things Rylan says. Everyday the kid cracks me up and amazes me. I need to start a post everyday that says... Ry's sayings for the day. Here are a few that I can think of right off hand.

After his Christmas program he told me he could not sing anymore as his voice was all tapped out.

After catching him kissing a girl on the bus (yes, on the lips) Josh was telling him not to kiss girls cuz they have coodies... his response "No dad those are called nipples and everyone has them."

At Pauls the other day.... very very loudly "Mom, I am itchy, the fleas are biting me. Me: "You don't have fleas Ry". Him "Yes I do and they hurt".

Ry's Christmas Program

Ry had his Christmas program on Friday. It was very bittersweet for me. This is my 4th preschool Christmas program that I have attended with my boys and it will be my last preschool program I will attend with my boys. Amazing to me that it is gone... so fast!

Ry did a great job and tried to sing really loud but he just doesn't have a loud voice. He was so cute up there though and knew all the sings by heart... he had been singing them to me everyday for about 3 weeks.

Holiday Parade

A couple weeks ago they had the Christmas Parade here in Homedale. I was worried because the week before it had been below 0 and there was no way I was taking the kids to the parade in that kindof weather. But the day of the parade it had made it up to about 20 degrees. That is the only good thing about it being below 0... it defenitely redefines cold.

They boys had a blast and got a huge amount of candy for as cold and wet as it was.

Catching Up

I have a few posts to catch up on so that is what I am currently working on... however I ask that you bear with me on these as I am currently heavily medicated on Sudafed. I refuse to be sick over Christmas so I doped myself up on Sudafed and Tylenol and am hoping to get over this crap I have recently acquired. Anyone who knows me knows that me taking Sudafed is the equivalent of a normal person taking Ativan (an extremely heavy narcotic). I just cannot tolerate the stuff and don't take it unless deemed absolutely necessary. Since I have nowhere I absolutely have to be until Thursday I figured now was as good as any to take it. And it will take me until about Wed. to recover from said meds.
