Ryan's New Jersey

Ryan got a Columbus Blue Jackets jersey today! Jeremy and Ryan were invited to see the Blue Jackets play today with our friend Steve! Ryan was so excited he was going to a Pro Hockey game!!

3 Days off in a row...Is this California?!

This is Ryan enjoying day 2 of a winter vacation! We have had a total of 3 days off this week!
We're not sure if we are in the Midwest or California!?

Ryan has enjoyed his time off and so have Mom and Dad!

Day of 1 of 3 days off...

We had Tuesday of this week off! Ryan was very excited to have a snow day, even though there wasn't that much snow on Tuesday!

Now on Wednesday...

Ryan started posting these signs all over the house! He's not sure what he
will do - he just wants to earn money! We offered $1.00 to vacuum but he turned
it down. He thinks he's worth more!

Our New House!

We put an offer on this house on Wednesday and accepted their counter-offer last night! We will be closing the end of March and then taking our time moving down the street!! We'll have some painting to do (Ryan's room is pink) and we're planning on finishing the basement to have a nice Family Room!

Ryan's basketball game on Thursday. His team won 14 -8. Ryan scored 4 points!

Ryan is #9 - he was matched up (yellow wristband) with the best player on the other team.

This is the first picture in a long time of the whole family together!

Ryan's new jersey from Uncle Robert and Aunt Malia
He takes it off long enough for me to wash it!!

Ryan with Macy and Ellie (our Goddaughters)
We had such a great time visiting them in Northern California!

One of Ryan's favorite places to go at Christmas - Clifton Mills! They put up nearly 4 million Christmas Lights! It doesn' t matter how cold it is, Ryan can stay here for a long time!

Happy New Year!

We had a wonderful holiday vacation with our families! We spent 10 days in California visiting all the Grandparents, Aunts, Uncles, Cousins, Godparents and Goddaughters! We also took Ryan to Fresno State - to show him there is another University besides Ohio State! He's college of choice right now (as of 6 years old) is still Ohio State! Keep smiling Uncle Rob! I'll be posting some pictures of our trip and the New Year real soon!

As January is taking off, we're experiencing a very weird winter in Ohio. More ice than snow so far and not so unusually some really cold temps headed our way (highs in the teens, lows in the 0 or below). Hopefully this is a time when the weathermen are wrong!

Ryan has started his basketball games last week. The first rebound Ryan got, he did a fast break down the court. We are so proud! He scored 2 baskets and had a great time! This Thursday, I'll bring my camera and take pictures and hopefully post those real soon as well!

Talk to you soon! I'll be working on posting more blogs!!
