Santa And Mrs. Clause

We got to see Santa and Mrs. Clause. My dad had a Christmas Party at his house last weekend where Santa and Mrs. Clause made a "surprise appearance"! They read the kids a book and then handed out toys for all the kids. Ryan was a little baby last Christmas where he didn't remember Santa, so much to my surprise (yeah right) he didn't like Santa at all this year. He cried as Craig was walking up to see him and then screamed more as he got put on Santa's lap. Oh well hopefully next year he'll like more :-) Riley was thrilled to see Santa (had nothing to do with the big sack of toys he brought in). Riley sat on his lap like a cue boy and told him what he wanted and took a picture. After we all meet Santa we had hot chocolate and Krispy Kreme Donuts! It was a great time. Thanks Dad!!!!

Riley got some much needed new shoes!

Ryan got some toy cars!

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas!

Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree....

It's Christmas time! I love Christmas time and especially the tree. We get a real Christmas Tree (like everyone should) When I was growing up we would go out and cut a tree down up North. I'm hoping that next year when Ryan is older we can make that a family tradition. We got our tree came home and got our Christmas box out. Put the lights up and then i got to the bottom where the ornaments have always been and there is only 2 ornaments. I'm so mad we can't find the rest of the kids ornaments. I'm pulling my hair out hoping to remember where they are but I'm just at a loss because that's that's the only place they could be. So are tree is a little bear right now but it's the idea that counts? right???? TREE!

Riley is "8"

Riley Craig Fisk is 8 years old. What a hard thing to believe that he is 8 years old. I remember the day I had him to every last detail. He had his birthday party at the Freestone Park so he can invite his school friends this year. He had a sports themed party. It was a blast. Riley wanted to have a kickball tournament with the kids vs. the parents. It was so FUN! We had a great party.

The night of his actual birthday he wanted to go to dinner at AH-SO! It a Tepinaykii type restaurant where they cook in front you. We were joined by my Mom, Aundrea, Josh and Mary. It was so fun. They do cool tricks while they are cooking in front of you and the food is DELICIOUS!!!!! Overall it was a great birthday and I'm so happy to have such a great son.
Love you Riley!!!!!!!! His football cake (thanks nana)

Riley and his toys!

Riley wanted this really fast remote control car foe his birthday, so his daddy( that wants one as well) was all happy when he heard that and went out and bought it immediately. The boys go out and play with that car all time. Im glad he likes it.

Riley's Stats: 74 lbs., 52 1/2 feet tall

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween! I know once again I'm a little behind but its best to be late then never. We had a wonderful Halloween. Riley dressed up as a zombie rocker and Ryan was a baby devil. We went over to the Steph and Pete's house to have dinner and trick or treat in the neighborhood. The boys had a blast and the whether was great. Hope everyone enjoyed there Halloween!

Pumpkins 2009

Ive been really bad on my post. We have been busy around here and it has totally passed my mind. We had a good month of October. There are 3 birthdays on Craig's side. We had many birthday parties and then getting ready for Halloween. We went to the pumpkin patch and let the boys pick out a pumpkin they liked. Riley got a medium size one and Ryan got a baby one. We came home got a pizza and started carving away with Aundrea and Josh. Riley was all in to pulling out he seeds but of course he picked the most carving in the book so Craig had to do the carving. Since he didn't get to carve his and Ryan is to little for a nap Riley got to carve Ryan's all on his own. He didn't want to use a stencil and just free handed the face. It turned out great and he had a blast.

Fall Break

We had a wonderful fall break. Riley was off of school the last week. We enjoyed him being home to do stuff and he enjoyed being able to sleep in. We had quite the busy week. We went to the zoo with all the cousins, went ice blocking and Riley, mom and dad went goofy golfing, dinner and go-karts. We had a busy week but a fun week.
Ryan enjoyed having his brother home to play with. Ryan has not been a very happy baby the past few weeks. We are once again dealing with ear infectins. We are "finally" heading back to his ENT this wednesday. Hope its good news.
Overall a great week and im happy that he is back in school this week :-)

Here are a few pictures.

Tired Riley.

Ryan was so fascinated that he was able to be that close to the goats.

MY BOYS!

Brothers

*nothing better*

15 months old!

Ryan has had another milestone. He is 15 months old. He has accomplished so much in his 15 months.
* He loves to walk everywhere, loves paci, copies everything his brother does, hates to be cuddled, hes a mamma's boy(i have to have 1),eats everything he can, hates using a fork.

15 months old!

Big Boy

He has finally been moved out of his high chair into a booster seat at the big table. He loves sitting at the table with us. He sits next to his big brother and just eats away like a big boy.

His stats at the doctor today were 22.8 lbs (25%), 31 in. long (50%) and 30 for the head (95%). He is healthy and happy. We love you Ryan!

It's Official!

My baby boy is walking. It only took 14 1/2 months but hes doing it! He is walking all over the place which means getting into any and everything he possibly can. We are so proud of him.

14 months old!

My baby boy Ryan is 14 months old today. I cant believe time has flown by so fast. He is such an active and very energetic boy. He is not officially walking but will walk without help about 8 steps. He has 6 teeth, and weights about 23 lbs. He is so full of energy though (i forgot how energetic boys are). He's not an easy one to get to stand still so i can take a picture.

What can I say he is handsome and has a great smile :-)

Riley's Room

Riley has been wanting to paint to his room. He had this idea that he wanted to do skulls in his room. He was going to paint the walls red and black then have nana come over and do some are work on the walls. Craig and I were like thats going to make the room so small and dark. So my friend Amy has a friend that does vinyl stickers and we came up with a vinyl sticker of a skull instead of the whole room. Needless to say I LOVE IT(and Riley)! It looks so cool and even better we got away with only one wall red and the one skull.

I love the sticker it was a great idea :-)
