R&BKing

2012 is over and so is vacation. Here's what has been happening in our home since the new year began. Thatcher is great at pulling himself up but sometimes gets stuck in awkward positions. Ryan is back to work. He's been taking a radio communications class this week and next week he starts a mortar class/training for a month. On Sunday he was called to be the teacher's quorum advisor and on Wednesday attended mutual. He may be old enough to be a leader in young men's but sometimes I wonder how grown up he really is when he carries his Captain America lunch box to work! And I decided to start the new year with some new hair color. I've tried many colors before but never red so I ventured out and am loving it so far.

 This is how Ryan and Thatcher relax during vacation, they watch World War II documentaries.  Happy Sunday! Thatcher sporting his new vest. Isn't he so cute?

We've had a great winter vacation so far. It started December 19th, our 3rd anniversary. Ryan thought it would be fun to get dressed up in our wedding gear and go out to dinner (we still fit into our outfits). Since Ryan got to be home for a few days he helped me get creative with Thatcher and his eating. He found that videos of airplanes distract Thatcher enough to get down the carrots and sweet potatoes.  On a not so fun day Thatcher and I both ended up in urgent care for three hours.  After pumping ourselves full of medicine we felt better enough to head down to Albany to see the Malczyk's. Aren't the babies so cute?  Thatcher looked great for church on Sunday, too bad it only lasted through sacrament meeting.    One afternoon Ryan and I got to go on a little outing. Of course we had to stop at the Army/Navy store we saw.  Christmas day was awesome! We all got spoiled. And finally we came home to snow. Thatcher wasn't q...

     We had another busy weekend and it all began with celebrating Bobby's birthday. The next day we had the Lamb get together. It was a jam packed day full of snowflake kickball, singing Christmas carols while Uncle Garth played the guitar, getting to know you quizzes and eating lots of delicious food. As for Thatcher he figured out how to pull himself up on things, he got a new hat and a new haircut. I remember when my brothers got haircuts and their personality would come out more, it's happening with this little boy!

We've been gearing up for the Holiday season. We had a fun Saturday with the Lamb family playing snowflake kickball, singing, games and eating delicious food. Thatcher enjoyed all the time with his cousins. This week it's final preparations for Christmas. Are you ready?

Saturday morning we were doing chores around the house. One of the tasks was to sweep off the porch to clean up the tree trimming mess. Ryan dressed up for the dirty job, slippers and all!
