Too Cute!!!

I am 21 weeks pregnant now which you can tell by my clicker off to the right; I had my ultrasound yesterday and found out that we are going to have a daughter... That's right, we are having a little girl; and we are very excited. I think James is excited too because for some reason he woke up at 11:00pm last night and wanting to play. Normally I wouldn't let him stay up and play but he was being so cute I just couldn't pass up the opportunity to enjoy his adorable behavior. I took these pictures of him being his silly self. And her are some pictures of my rapidly expanding belly.

Decorating the Christmas Tree

On Monday night we made pumpkin cookies and decorated the Christmas tree (Oh and James decorated his body with a marker) It is always so much fun to look at all the ornaments from past years. We had a lot of fun showing James the different ornaments and letting him put some on the tree.

New Hair Cut

I gave James a hair cut today... This would be hair cut #3 for him (His hair grows fast). I tried to give it a little style, but becuase he is so wiggly I just ended up buzzing it all off. Now he looks all grown up just like his daddy.

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

Thanksgiving came and went so fast this year! We had a really good day... We had dinner at Ryan's Uncles house. There was lots of food, people and conversation. I always love getting together with his family (They are a lot of fun). This year my sister and her son were able to join us, it was good to spend a Holiday with her after 6 years.

Love you all and we wish you a wonderful holiday season!

James & Daddy Band

Ryan and James are so cute together... Ryan is such a good Dad!

James loves music (All kinds) and he loves it when his dad plays music with him. Good thing Ryan also loves music. (Like father like son) In February they are going to be taking a music class together twice a week through the City Parks & Rec preogram. I think they will both enjoy it a lot.

Halloween!!!

Halloween was a lot of fun for us... We started off the week with some good old fashion pumpkin carving (James was not a fan). We had a halloween party with some of our friends from church, followed by trick-or-treating with James for the first time. James was a complete natural when it came down to trick-or-treating, We went to Ryan's old neighborhood and James would knock on the doors (More like pounded with both hands) he stuck his candy bag out, and then he would take off real fast to try and go to the next house. We were out for about an hour and only went to about 8 houses, we figured by the amount of candy in his candy bag that we could be done. James was not happy to go. Out of all of the halloween events that we attended James was the only kid that was not scared of Ryan and I. We are so proud of our brave little man.
