Quick update!

So...Ryder is almost 13 weeks (tomorrow)!!  He started laughing last Friday...hysterical!!!!  Just talking to him and making funny faces and he giggles.  Baby giggles could possibly be the BEST noises ever!!!

Noah...we say "here's the deal" a lot with him...like, "here's the deal, Noah, you are going to bed" or "here's the deal, Noah, you have to eat those carrots."  Last week...Noah said, "here's the deal, Mom, I get to watch 2 Georges."  I about fell over!!!!!!!!  First...he uses it the right way and second...just funny:)  We tend to watch a lot of Curious George and watch them before a nap...good times.  He had a headache we found out last night..but him trying to explain he said, "my hair hurts".  Gave him tylenol...which he promptly threw up in my hands...and luckily Scott was walking in the door to help!

I am back to work full time and am exhausted.  But...getting there!  Had SAA tonight...so I am wired and didn't want to sleep for an hour when I have to feed little man shortly. 

I need to write about the race and baptism...next time! 

Vacation!!!!!!

We went on vacation towards the end of July with my parents and brother and his wife.  We headed out with a loaded van (and a few things in my parents van!) to Apple Canyon Lake...near Galena, IL.  My parents rented a house and it was all ours.  It was quite the trip...very curvy roads and out in the middle of no where.  Ryder and Noah were champs the whole way...very lucky.  We did a fun trip to a park near by...ate some yummy food on the lake.  My brother and Jenna came later and we just chilled.  Played Farkle...even Noah joined in in throwing the dice.  My parents rented a pontoon for that Saturday and we spent most of the day on it.  Noah and Ryder did their first trip on a boat...it was BEAUTIFUL...finally not 1,000 degrees:)  Noah even got in the lake (life jackets for both boys of course).  Noah also went fishing for first time:)  We grilled and just had a great time.  Here are some fun pics:

Next post will be on the next mini-vacay with my in-laws!
