Ravage turned 10 months on Saturday!

Ravage is now:
Crawling upstairs
Calling for Mom and Dad
Asking for a bottle
Following his brother and sister around
Kisses you when you ask him to
Plays games with his brother and just starts giggling incessantly
Beats up his sister! (Boys will be boys....)
Crawls up to me and snuggles me, where ever I am
And, Gets into EVERYTHING!!!
But, at least he isn't quite as bad as his older brother and sister were, at least, not yet! ;) He gets out cans and bangs them together, and tupperwares and bangs them together too. (Flashback) When Kody was a baby, Kody played with cans too! :D

The Dentist

So, Ridley and Kiada had another dentist appointment this week. Ridley has perfect teeth and Kiada has a cavity. I am not sooo surprised about Kiada, she always sneaks candy in the middle of the night... so I am just resorting to either not buying candy, or locking up the food every night. We are taking care of it next month. When Ridley hopped off the dentist's chair, he said "Look Mom, now my teeth are strong like the Hulk!" I thounght that was precious! And this week, every time I tell Ravage to say "Cheese!" he tilts his head and smiles! He is one amazing baby! When he cries at night until we put him in bed, and then he just lays his head down smiles, and goes to sleep! So sweet!

We LOVE the Ice Park!

So we have season passes to the Ice Park up here in Fairbanks. The kids adore it! There are so many things to see! they went down one road the first day where you get to go in tunnels and go through mazes, and then the next day we went to the more intermediate slides where they were actually pretty long, and today we are going to go after playgroup today and go to the REALLY big slides! It is a blast! Anyone anywhere close to where we are should come! This year is by far the funnest winter I have spent up here!

I miss my Mommy!

So, my mother has officially left me for warmer places! :( She just moved to Sugar Land as most of you already know, and she moved out of her house that I have known for the past 20 years... It was a pretty great house, and it was hard to come down there this last visit and see it getting all emptied out. But seeing my Mother before she left was sooo worth it! We took pictures at IHOP in Wasilla because I was just about to leave for Fairbanks and we had just remembered that we hadn't taken any pictures and, of course, my Mother had to have one, so we took this one of the last day we saw her. I love you Mom! Kisses!

Family Dance

On February 13th, our ward had a family dance (which was totally my idea!) and we had a lot of fun! Ridley and Kiada got to hit the Pinata and of course, Ridley was the first to break it open... I don't think anyone expected him to do that he was shorter so he was pretty close to being one of the first in line to take a swing on it. After he busted part of it, they made it a little tougher on the rest of the kids! Kiada found Joseph Barney and they danced all night, and then they snuck in the corner and started sharing Pinata candy with each other... They were so cute! Ridley even started dancing after a while, which totally impressed me by the way, he normally hates music... But Kody and I got a few good dances in, and I won a door prize!

Zombie Prom

So Kody, Charles, Sarah and I all went to the Zombie Prom! We had soo much fun! We danced to songs like "Thriller" and other popular classics and Chuck and Sarah kept stumbling around like actual Zombies arms out the whole bit it was a blast! It was by far the best Valentine's Dance I have ever been to!

Ridley... Upside down!

Ridley wanted me to take a picture of him doing a handstand today. He is holding himself funny because his shirt kept falling down! At least he is trying to be modest! Looking at this picture reminds me of when I was a girl. I used to stand on my head and read books. Literally getting all the blood flowing! I have a few pictures of that, actually! I will see if I can dig them out! I tried it the other day and I just can't do that kind of stuff anymore... So sad... I guess I am just getting too old. ;)
