my big helper

i was working on the computer for awhile and realized i havent seen or heard tyson in a while. i went to check on him and this is what i found. race had rubbed his back and he fell asleep. race is such a good helper. he is only 6 but he is such a good big brother.

climber

tyson is my biggest climber i have yet to have. he is constantly on top of my table looking for who knows what. or he is on top of the couch or my desk. this is what happens most mornings here. you would think i would have it under control by now. trent leaves his bowl of milk on the table and tyson climbs and spills it everywhere. in this pic he also dumped my morning shake out too.

kalis half bday and swim team

here are a couple pics of swim team.

today we had a half bday for kali today. her bday is december 19th and she never really gets a party because of all the holiday stuff going on. so we decided to let her have a party. we just had over the girls in the family and the kiddos. Shyann and Ashtyn are staying the night tonight. the party was very low key. nothing fancy. the kids swam forever. i hope everyone had fun. here are a few pics from that as well.

tyson

tyson is starting to really think about his walking. he is getting so much better. he will walk but only if he is not going anywhere fast. if he wants to get somewhere fast then he will crawl. it is so cute. i am ready for him to walk. i want him to walk before the beach. we camp in the dirt so crawling babies is not so fun. 13 days for the beach.

girl!!

We are having a girl. YEAH! we are so excited. kali especially. i did not want to have to come home and tell her it was a boy so i was very excited. the names we currently have are bella louise, averi louise and ricky mentioned last night riley or ryan. we will see. too soon to really know. everything is good here. the kids are enjoying swim team. race got 2 first places last week. he did very well. this week is the norm. swim team twice a day and meets tuesday and thursday. we have to be out of our old house by next monday so we have to get all the stuff out of our garage. the inside is done and cleaned, but the garage has quite a bit of stuff left in it. i told ricky that i am functioning just fine without all that stuff so we might as well get rid of all of it. i have no clue what is there. then ricky has a few fixer upper things to do inside per request from the new buyers. nothing too big though. other than that it should be pretty normal around here. 17 days until the beach!! YEAH

new house

we moved! we are settled in our new home. it is weird to be in phoenix, but we are loving the drive everywhere. ricky takes about 35 minutes to work. that is a huge difference when before it took him 20 just to get on the freeway. all the stores and everything is just minutes away. very nice.

the kids all started swim team. they are loving it. yesterday was their first practice and tonight is their first meet. it is quite comical to watch. race and kali are both surprisingly pretty good. they are enjoying it too. they go twice a day for a half hour each. once again it only takes me about 8-10 min. to get there. YEAH!

we still have quite a bit of stuff to clean out at the old house. today my mom and I are going out to clean the inside of the house. the garage is still full of stuff that Ricky needs to come get. we close on the 19th.

i am going to post some pics of rickys tri he did and a few pics of races kindergarten graduation.
okay maybe not. it is not letting me again.
