Fun day and jayhawks

Daddy is frequently the best climbing obstacle the boys can find. Today proved to be no exception.

Eric makes us laugh with these buckets. They hold a bunch of blocks and what he likes to do is take the whole bucket and dump it over his head. Then as you can see he uses the bucket as some sort of new age helmet.

Ahh!!! This was one of those "waited all my life for this day" moments. Ryan and I made a big bowl of popcorn and sat down on the couch together to watch KU basketball. Does it get any better???

Dutton Family Visit

Daryll Ann and Martin were coming through the area so the family decided on having a get together at our house. We are somewhat centrally located amongst the Dutton clan so our house makes for a pretty common gather spot. We also got a new camera so all our pictures from now on should look a lot better, at least we hope so. :)

Giggling Eric

He's WALKING!!! (Finally)

Ryan and Eric took a bath together. This was Eric's first time in the big tub. It is so obvious that neither of the boys enjoyed this....but Ryan will still not take a bath with the two of them again.

the snowman

Is the snow going to stop this year? Here is yet another snowstorm. This time it is a little warmer outside so it is perfect snowman snow. We got somewhere around 6-8" and it warmed up to just above freezing for a day or so.

Cowboy Brothers

For reasons none of us can figure out, Ryan really likes wearing matching clothes with his brother.

Eric

We have a picture very similar to this of Ryan.

And Another Christmas....

The Riek's finally get their turn as Christmas. Here Ryan is showing off his skateboarder nutcracker.
