ACL Fun and much more

A few things have changed around here in the last couple months. Because I am the worlds biggest clutz now. On Dec 8th 2009 I slipped and fell on the wonderful ice/snow outside of our house. I thought I really messed it up right at first due to the pain I was in. Thanks to a nice nearby neighbor I got up and got home. I was sore, but walking and fine. A few days later I realized I was NOT fine and something was wrong. After a few doctor visits and 1 VERY small and creepy MRI, they determined I had torn my ACL and minicus in my right knee. ( On the same leg as previous injury just a few months before) I ended up needing surgery because it was just extremely unstable. SO, I had my ACL repaired on Jan 26th of this year. Fun start to a year right? It has a been a long and painful Physical Therapy process...but it IS improving day by day. Thankfully I had my mom here to help me with the babies. I (and Brandon and Megan) would have been...well it wouldn't have been good for either of us. I am SO thankful for all she has done for us. It means more than she will ever know. THANKS MOM!!! Love ya!!!

Here is a wonderful picture of me the day after surgery...fun fun it was.

The reason I fell...

Onto more exciting things...Ryker is now 16 months old, and will be 17 months old in a few days. He has changed so so much over the last few months. He is SO much fun and loves to entertain us ALL day. He is a ball of energy and I LOVE it. ( 99% of the time anyway)

Here are a few recent pics of Ryker being Ryker...

Some say we look alike?

Full of smiles

We heard of place here called lollipop haircuts for kids. It was supposed to be geared to children, and you get a picture and a certificate for going. This was Rykers 10th or more haircut, BUT only the second ever in a actual "salon" place.

You decide how you think it went.....

This is the start of the cut

He screamed and cried the ENTIRE time. Poor guy.

This is the certificate he got with a lock of hair. They also took a picture for us and it turned out pretty good. After he got out of the chair and saw Elmo was on TV...he was fine.

He got to get a faux hawk. We thought it would look cute. It can be done up and look normal too..so ..why not? Turned out pretty cute I think.

Someone else growing like a weed is our beautiful niece Gabby Gab. She is doing so much now and is also....everywhere.

He likes to play Wheres Ryker behind the curtains...got a good shot from it.

We had a chance to let Ryker play the other day since the temps rose a little bit.

After a mouth full of snow....

Our little Brad Pitt....

Another good "wheres Ryker" pic

Gabby and Ryker playing and loving on Elmo...we love Elmo in this house.

The next thing on the list for this family....we are all anxiously waiting on the arrival of Brandon and Megs bundle of joy, baby boy..........????

We cant WAIT!!
