What we've been up to!

As soon as Ryker gets picked up from his swing or seat, Reece is always jumping right in to get his turn.

This is meal time at our house. Food is always being flung around. You can usually find food stuck to the floor, walls, table, and even the dog. Poor Daisy.

Apparently Dr. Pepper is the breakfast of champions. He did not drink this but wanted to play with the can during breakfast time.

Raymond and I went to see The Dave Matthews Band concert at Intrust Bank Arena in downtown Wichita. We had tickets in the party suite. It was a great concert!

Ryker is holding his head up more and more everyday!

We went to see Uncle Jason fly his airplane into Yingling airport (right by the airport in Wichita). Reece LOVES airplanes, so he was just a tad bit excited.

Our visit with Jason at the airport. He flew in to pick up Haley and then back to Texas they went.

Reece contemplating something. Probably a poop. He looks like daddy sitting in his CAT truck.

Happy Boy Ryker. The picture says it all!

Reece wanted to hold "the bebe." That is quite the face. This only lasted about 10 seconds and then he was DONE!!!!

Ryker is quite the happy, and fat boy these days. He was 3 months old on the 20th of August. He is weighing in somewhere around 16-17 pounds. I had to put a 12 month onesie on him this week. YIKES!

This is our JcPenney free picture. That was quite the experience trying to get them to cooperate. I don't think I will be doing this again for a while. I am still worn out. (It's a bit fuzzy because I copied the picture)

I guess he was done with picture taking. Funny, huh??

Reece can play the harmonica. It actually sounds pretty good. I see a future musician, maybe?

Reece and Daisy watching for Daddy to get home from work.

I was still pregnant with Ryker in this picture. Just thought I would toss it in with the mix.

Cute boy!

We are obsessed with spray whipped cream at our house. It is fun to shoot it into your mouth!

Haley and Ryker (Haley turned 7 in July)

It's Been a While.......but, we are still alive!!

Here's what we've been up to in a nutshell:
1. Reece celebrated his first birthday, January 6th. Today is his 18 month b-day. (yes, I am that behind in blogging)
2. Vanessa had to quit teaching school two weeks before school was out due to doctor's orders.
3. We welcomed the newest little Dondlinger to the family. Ryker William Dondlinger was born May 20th. He weighed a whopping 9 lbs. 5 oz. and had a 15.5 inch head. Yep, I pushed that baby out with no complications. No stitches needed.
4. Vanessa quit her job to be a SAHM with her two cute little boys.
5. Ryker developed colic 3 weeks into the world. It has been rough ever since. Poor kid. Mom and Dad are very tired.
6. We got a new Chicco double stroller and that was one of the best deliveries that the UPS man has ever brought. It gets Vanessa out of the house when she is about to pull her hair out.
7. Reece is talking more and more and he is ready to pump Ryker up so that they can play. He also likes to eat dog food, climb up on the kitchen counters, table, and just about everything else.
8. Raymond is working in a boring office. He is having fun being a dad to two boys. He wanted to have all of his kids before 30, which he might have accomplished at this rate. He turns 30 this December. Two kids..........enough for now, especially being 16.5 months apart. Yep, I think Vanessa takes the cake on that one, Skinners!!!

Enjoy the pics!
