Dave has been doing an amazing job on our house and Ryker loves him because he's a man's man and Dave always has tools and it working on something when Ryker sees him. Ryker sometimes talks about the house we're building like it belongs to Dave, meaning he'll actually call it Dave's house. I'm sure it seems that way to him since Dave's always out there working on it. I like to ask him when Dave's going to move in just to hear his funny responses. We may have to designate a room for Dave and have him stay over on the weekends! Anyway, not only has been kicking butt on our house and holding our hands in regards to any general building questions we have, the other day he hooked Ryker up with this sweet new tool bench. We had no idea, just went out there to find it all set up for Ryker with his tools on it. Now you know it took Dave about two and a half minutes to build this thing out of scraps (It would have taken Seth a half hour. Refer to earlier birdhouse post, haha, just kidding Seth), but the thought behind going the extra mile to make a little boy's day....absolutely priceless! Thank you Dave for being such a nice guy. We're lucky that Ryker chooses hard working men like you to mimic!

More Vacation

Nothing keeps him off his bike. He rode every chance he got, even if it was in my Mom's basement. We got some pretty funny looks when we would ride it downtown.

Diggin' snow

We made a snowman at the park but I didn't have my camera so I had to use my phone. The picture is horrible. Chacon kept stealing the snowman's stick arm and Ryker was disappointed that we didn't have a carrot for his nose. He was really into carrots because we would throw them into the snow tunnels the rabbits dug under the sheds and check to be sure they ate them the next day. We fed them every time we played in the yard and on Christmas he threw them in the hole and said, "Merry Christmas bunny rabbit."

Welcome to Wibaux

We took advantage of my maternity leave and spent over a month in Wibaux. I think it is a sign that you are staying too long when you actually unpack into the dressers!

Ryker loved the snow and got in some good sledding.

A little pep talk from Dad about how this whole sledding thing works.

We went out toBacon's where Ryker fed a big cow named Mike (if he were to go there now, he could eat a cow named Mike), played with some fun toys, and watched them load cows into the trailer.

Baby whisperers in action

Baked clay tree ornaments. With all the cold weather, we had to find creative ways to entertain ourselves inside. We did a lot of "decorating" that Grandma is probably still cleaning up!

"Ryker's pals" tree ornaments. Alexis, Colton, Kya, Ryker, and Abby. He told me who they were and I colored them for him.

Christmas cookies!

Ryker learned to make cookies and Kara learned that it takes 10 times longer with his help!

Ready to frost!

That may be a bit much there buddy. He kept calling these sprinkles mouse poop and he was really enjoying eating them. I'm a little worried what is going to happen if he ever does come across some mouse poop.
