Hello to you!





Not much is going on too post about but we do have some funny pics.
I have been super busy with work this week and school as its a new semester for both. The kids are growing more and more each day. Jo is starting to talk better. She is also now trying to be fully potty trained even at night! HALLELUJIA!!! We have also discovered she loves to watch football with her daddy. He can't be happier! She will be 4 on the 30th.

Ryker is getting to be really good at listening to me. When he starts to throw his food from the highchair to the floor I say "ok time to clean up" and he gets down and picks it all up! WAHOO! He also tries to help me unload the silverware in the dishwasher and set the table.

Jim has started exercising on his new air climber and eating better. He is trying to lose weight and be more active. I am trying to support him in this but it's hard. If he isn't going to eat with us I don't even want to cook dinner just for me and the kids when I know the kids won't even eat it! So I guess I am dieting too but not as healthy as he is :( that is kids get leftovers or something easy and I eat.. cereal.. hehe

That is our news! Nothing really exciting but the pics below are the kids playing on the air climber and also them in a junior sombrero hat that my bro and sis in law brought back from the Mexican Cruise vacation.. Ahhh vacation, warmth, sun, swimming ... that sounds good right now. It is soo cold here right now. When Jim gets up to go to work at 5 ish it is like 4degrees BRRRR... I mean when it's this cold and I hate the snow.. I really wonder why I live in this state?

Now.. back to the grind!





















What a busy break we had but also what a fun one! From Innes Family Pictures to The Vegas Bowl, Christmas and all that comes with it, and then New Years... we had a blast. We were always running around but it was fun!

Some highlights of our break...
*We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas Day Morning at Grandpa and Ma Herberts and Dig and Stacee joined us in the morn. We had a great time opening gifts eating breakfast and laughing at JO's excitement. 
*Grandpa Herbert made Jo her very own white cupboard kitchen and Santa, Mom and Dad and the Herberts all gave her the fixins to go with it! She and Ryker love it!
*Ryker got a cute little fourwheeler that drives  from Santa and A ride on dumptruck from The Innes Grandparents. He loves them and has to say "bye bye" everytime he gets on them. 
*Christmas Day Afternoon we had a fabulous time at the Innes' rocking out to Guitar Hero III on the Wii and constructing puzzles. The traditional Lasagna was absolutely delicious. Thanks  Gwamma Innes!
*We ventured out to the "Bee Movie" with both kids! It was a success. Ryker fell asleep for half of it so that was nice too.
*Gwamma Innes held her yearly New Years Eve Party with food and fun. JO got to play with Ella and Aiden so it was fun.
 *Jim and I celebrated our 5th anniversary!!! Time Flies!
We are back to work and to school and to structured scheduled once again. We hope you all are happy and having a great new year!
