I Heart Christmas Vacation

Merry Christmas

Baby, it's cold outside

Our Saturday morning hike... 23 pounds in 23 degree weather.

6 months

My super sized baby is 6 months old. He had his Dr. appt. last week and here are his stats.

Weight: 22 lbs 13 oz

Length: 30 3/8 in

Head: 19 in

Literally off the growth chart.

Jack's New Play Place

Jack loves to play under his swing. It's his new favorite place. He starts out on his blanket and rolls off and always manages to get under the swing. He will lay there and play forever. So funny, love him!!

30

Yep, you guessed it, Ryan turned 30 last week. HAPPY BIRTHDAY OLD MAN!!! I can't believe he's 30. HOT at 23 when we met and still HOT at 30! We both worked on his b-day this year which was totally a buzz kill, but I still managed to surprise him with his favorite, yellow cake with chocolate frosting. I also got him a pull-up bar he's been wanting, I figured now that he's 30 he's going to have to start working harder to maintain his 165 lbs of twisted steel and sex appeal. Anyways, we had a fun weekend celebrating, here are some pics of what we did.

Friday evening we drove up Farmington Canyon and had a picnic. It was freezing, but it was still nice to get out and get some fresh mountain air.

Saturday morning we got up early and drove to Logan to run a 5K. This was a fundraiser for a little girl with cancer. My sister Amber is an Oncology Nurse and knows her from work. So me, my 2 sisters and my dad all ran the race to support www.tayliebug.com

Ryan and Jack tagged along. Ryan wasn't up for the run since his knees are still recovering from the 26.2 a few weeks ago. It was pretty cold so we were all bundled up, especially Jack.

Cutest picture ever! Look at that cute face and double chin.

Later that night, I took Ryan out on a late b-day date. This was the second time we have been out alone since Jack was born, and he's five months old. I got a baby sitter (thanks mom and dad) and kept our date a surprise. I took him to Snowbird and we ate at the Steak Pit. It was such a perfect night, Ryan loves Snowbird, that's where he lives during the winter months. The food was so good, but expensive, this was the most we have spent on dinner in the 7 years we have known each other. While we were eating, the waiters opened up the window and set something outside. I walked over to the window to see what was happening and sure enough, there was a porcupine on the patio, and he was eating a loaf of bread the waiter had put out for him. I guess this little guy is a frequent flyer and visits often when he is given bread. His name is Larry, It was awesome. Yes, they really named it Larry. Anyways, believe it or not we didn't take any pics of this night, I'm pretty sure we forgot the camera :(

Lately....

Jack rolls over on his belly, but can't seem to manage how to roll back over. He will play on his belly for about 10 minutes then cry until someone comes and rolls him back over, then 2 seconds later he's back on his belly. This is a vicious cycle.

Jack sucks his fingers and everything else for that matter. He also like wearing dad's sweatband.

Jack has rice cereal every night before bed and makes a huge mess. Perhaps this is why he was 20 lbs at his last Dr. appt.

My Boys.

Ryan ran the Top of Utah Marathon in Logan. Woot Woot.
