Wrapping up 2011

We had a fun Christmas week and I have been SO SPOILED! Trevor has been home all day for almost 2 weeks and wont go back to school for another week! Its been SO amazing! 

Here is a recap of our weeks...

We built a fort and played with flashlights! Ryker LOVED hanging out in  his fort.

We had an ugly sweater party with some friends.

Trevors hot turtle neck and cardigan! 

Christmas Eve...opening one present.

Christmas morning...he got a new chair and car track.

Ryker is the official gift hander outer.

Candy!!!

Our Best Bites cookbook! YAY!!

Baby Girls accessories!

Daddy opening his presents

Play with cousin Euan...or UUUUEEEE as Ryker yells.

Grammy got Ryker this awesome coloring easel! 

And a BUUUUZZZ!! 

I came home to this...Trevor showing Ryker how to make a car ramp.

Car ramp in Rykers room

It has been such a fun time having Trevor home!  Trevor has been obsessed with playing cars with Ryker and today Ryker marched into and yelled, "Daddeeeee...Caaaars.  PLAAAY!" as he pointed to his room.  haha.  

He also ran out of his room the other day all frantic and yelled, "Daaaaaad....caaaar...stuck!"  Apparently Ryker's cars were stuck in the ramp and he needed daddy to fix it. 

He has really turned into a jabber mouth.  He has a whole vocabulary of words, although a lot of the sound the same to me and Trevor.

"Suck"=Truck, Sucker, or Stuck.

"Fok"=Fork

"Toes"=Toes or Toast

"Duice"=Juice

"Bank"=Blanket

"Paaaay"=Play

"UUUUEEE"=Nasal yell for Euan

He is learning his colors, "Yewow, Geen, Booo, Puple, Onge"

He uses a lot of other words throughout the day and is quite the sponge.  He loves to explore and be outside, even though its freezing! 

Trevor got a part time job offer to feed the fish over the Christmas break which has been SO fun! Trevor takes Ryker up there about twice a day to feed the fish, and when we tell Ryker he's going to go feed fish he yells, "Socks...Tooshs" (Socks and shoes).  He loves going with his daddy, and I love having a couple minutes to enjoy myself.   Trevor was also offered a Teachers Assistant position for next semester which is such a great opportunity!  Trevor finished his semester strong with all A's again! He did FABULOUS.  I think he has been blessed with the talent of being a student!  He is so dedicated and I am grateful that the Lord has really helped him to focus.  

2012 is an exciting year for us because Trevor will graduate this year!!! YAY! Of course, then it will be on to grad school if he gets accepted...but its exciting to see the end of the tunnel! Lots of changes that will be happening and I know there is a lot to learn this year.

As for the pregnancy...its going well! I'll be 24 weeks in 2 days! I have been getting Braxton Hicks all over the place...its funny now that I notice them and last time I didn't til like 34 weeks or later.  I have officially pulled out my big jeans, I can no longer squeeze my toosh and belly into my skinny jeans. Exciting that I know baby girl is getting bigger and growing well, and I look forward to fitting in my old jeans again someday!

Well, I'm off to enjoy one more week of Trevor! Every one enjoy your New Years!
