A little behind.....just a little.





























So, I think it's been a while since I have posted (insert laughing here). Here's our life in a quick nut shell:


Vanessa--still doing the SAHM thing. I enjoy it most days, but miss teaching....and adult conversations. I really have nothing cool to say or share. I cook, clean, change diapers, play with kids, and survive. I enjoy my MOPS group and the boys go to a kids day out once a week for 3.5 hours.....that way I can grocery shop, clean house, and eat my food without interruption. It's glorious!

Raymond--still working at Dondlinger with the addition of three Ace hardware stores. He works hard. Really hard. He loves being a dad and taking us for car rides and donuts and the occasional hockey game.

Reece--BIG 3 Year old! He is in the "I WANNA DO IT MYSELF" stage. That include getting dressed and wanting to get his own food and snacks. However, he still refuses to use the toilet. He is okay with my changing his pants. SERIOUSLY?? Any potty training tips would be helpful. (we've done stickers, candy, big prizes, potty videos and books, singing and dancing, real under ware....and nothing works) He LOVES anything cars and motorcycles. He also loves watching Curious George and Caillou. He is into any and everything and time-outs and no's don't phase him. He is full of energy and never stops. He is the cuddle bug and loves being snuggled.

Ryker--will be 2 in May! He is only two pounds behind Reece and is the human garbage disposal. He loves his brother Reece! Reece is the first person Ryker yells for in the mornings. Ryker is our "monkey see, monkey do" kid. He imitates everyone and is getting really good at being sneaky. He climbs on everything and I often wonder how he gets up on the things that he does. Ryker loves to giggle and read books. The joke is that he will be potty trained before Reece, because the kid loves to sit on the toilet. He is more interested in stuffing it full of paper and flushing it, but hey, it's a start. Ryker loves Sesame Street and Elmo. He is my laid back-go with the flow kid.
