Caleb, Ryan and Alyssa's birthday party...
Birthday party at Grandma and Grandpa Hackings with lots of cousins...
slightly less extravagant cake...
All tuckered out and sleeping with his sword (just in case).
Fun at the zoo with the Hancey's...
Ryan brought home some of his art work from preschool today. One of the items was particularly funny. It was a picture of Scott, me and Ryan and what he had said about us (the teacher wrote out what he said). Here it is...
My mommy's name is Rain, but I call her Mom. She has long, blackish hair and blue eyes. She wears glasses and ladies skirts. She cooks chocolate chip cookies; that is her favorite thing to eat and mine too! Mommy works at my house; she cleans dishes. Mommy plays games with me and she runs for exercise. Her favorite TV show is "Tom and Jerry". The best thing about my mommy is that she speaks her own secret language.
My dad's name is Ryan, but I call him Daddy. He has longish brown hair with red eyes. He's 8 big--all the way up and he's got muscles! He wears work clothes because he works at an office way up on a hill in the woods. He drives cars. Daddy cooks cookies and likes to eat cheese. He lifts weights and he runs; sometimes he gets me and we fall down. His favorite TV show is "Tom and Jerry". We like to play checkers and ride bikes and play with the remote control rocket ship. The best thing about my daddy is when he flies in the air!
Scott and I had a good laugh about that. My favorite part is that I wear glasses and ladies skirts and I'm pretty sure we don't even own a checkers game. Funny!
By the way, still waiting to hear on getting the house we want. We should know soon. I will post pictures of April events soon.
For those who check this blog regularly (the 2 of you), sorry about the lack of posts! It’s been a busy past couple of weeks! We settled into the house we are renting and then left for Utah for 10 days. We were welcomed into Utah by New York’s weather! It snowed, was freezing cold, and there was lots of whipping wind, almost the whole time we were there. Weather aside, it was so great to see family from both sides and the kids loved playing with their cousins. Cy and Ethan and Savannah and Ireland were inseparable. Ryan has talked non-stop about Emma and Micah. It felt like home. We’ve loved living in Vermont and New York, but Utah is home to us. We are so excited to move back. With that said, the house hunt was not fun. The house prices are pretty great, but the hassle of dealing with all the short sales, and bank owned homes is not great. A lot of red tape and waiting. We came back to New York without knowing if we’d have a house to move into in a couple of months. We’ll keep you posted.
By the way, our USB port is malfunctioning so I’ll have to post pictures later.
