Such the Life

I have been to update the blog several times and then the last time I had everything typed in and the pictures in and I went to post it and there was nothing there! Ugh...imagine the frustration! Ha.....

Things around here have been pretty hectic. Well, I was off for Thanksgiving but Rhys and I have a packed time that whole week. It didn't help that he was still not feeling well, so he wasn't himself. We spent time with Tyler and the girls. It was a ton of fun. We also went to visit Aunt Amy at work, and I know that she enjoyed that! Mom also had to work some because she is a slacker and waits until the last moment to put in lesson plans!

Thanksgiving was great, I was a horrible mother though, I forgot to take pictures all day and then when I went to take them, Rhys had already passed out. This thanksgiving was fun though, we stayed here but on Wednesday night we all (Jared, Rhys and I and then Amy, Randall and Tyler) stayed the night at my parents house. Jared and Randall got up early in the morning and smoked a turkey. We went to church, and then spent the day together. It was awesome! Rhys thoroughly enjoyed his first thanksgiving eating much of what was on Jared's plate. He definitely likes real food more than his baby food. I personally am enjoying this, because it is super easy to have him sit at the dinner table with us and eat food while we are eating dinner without one of us stopping to feed him. On Friday, Jared stayed home with Rhys and Tyler while Amy and I went shopping. It was awesome....we found some really great deals. Then Saturday morning we went to Herman Park downtown and rode on the train and played around. It was so much fun, and I can't wait until Rhys is older and we can take him back there. I think that he would really enjoy it a lot!

We hardly ever get mommy and Rhys pictures!

This is my favorite picture!

Since Thanksgiving, we have been so busy. Last weekend I went on another ACTS retreat and Jared stayed home with Rhys. The other part of that is that his sister went on the retreat as well, and Jared kept her girls. So Jared had Rhys, Katrina, and Marisol last weekend. Surprisingly, my house was still in good shape when I came back. He did a good job so I guess that means that I can leave him at home more often!

We finally got our Christmas tree up. Here are a couple of pictures of Rhys with the Christmas tree and with the dog. Boy does he love Maddox, and Maddox is finally starting to warm up to him. Hope you enjoy the pictures and maybe I will get better about posting...until next time!

Ugh, and wouldn't you know that at the end of this and after everything, I have lost two pictures that I thought I downloaded. Oh well it is good night time!
