Sledding!

We ventured up north this weekend to visit with Jared and Gina's crew, along with Mom-Mom and Dad-Dad. They received a significant amount of snow earlier in the week, and the boys decided it was a good time to take the kiddos sledding. Ev is all set!

A little push...
Heading back up.

Whew, fast trip down means a super steep climb back up! (I opted to stay behind with Gina and two napping babies, otherwise, I'm sure my out-of-shapeness would be on sad display during this phase...)

Ev and Josh on one of the slower trips down.

Ev preferred to throw snowballs instead. Shocker. :o)

Later that evening, Mom-Mom helps Ryan with his crocodile teether.

Evan has a renewed interest in this pop-up toy. Evan would pop them all up and Isaac would push them back down -- that's nice teamwork!! :o)

Speaking of teams, check out this team of silly late-night snackers!

Food!

Since Ryan hit the four month mark, we decided it was time to try him with some rice cereal. It can only help the sleeping and spitting up, right? :o) And just like any other Judy boy, he gobbled it right up!

And it made him quite happy. :o)

I have also tried for the past hour to post a video of Evan learning how to do a somersault in his bounce house, but the blog thingy is not cooperating, so I give up. Maybe next week... :o)

Four Months!

So, whenever there's a Monday holiday, I forget to blog on Sunday evening... my apologies! :o) At least it gives me a chance to put up Ryan's statistics since we went to the doctor today. He celebrated his four month birthday on Saturday, and as of today, he weighed in at 14 pounds 3 ounces (25%) and measured 27 inches long (95%). Also at four months, Ryan is quite the giggler. Here's a bit of him in action:

And we're not quite sure what happened here, but Evan is sporting two different shoes, playing with a baby rattle, and pulling his shirt up to poke his belly. Must just be a regular 'ole evening! :o)

I also celebrated my 28th birthday this past week, and we had a mini celebration on Saturday, where Evan helped me blow out my candles.

Let's Go Delaware!

For those of you who were not aware, Delaware played in the FCS Championship Game on Friday night. Although they did not quite pull off a win, we cannot complain about second place! :o) We had the majority of the Judy Clan over for the game, and of course, Josh was super excited to sport his helmet. The helmet was only allowed a brief intermission so that Josh could eat...

Ryan hanging out with Aunt Jenn before bedtime.
The girls crashing Evan's bath time.

Getting in some cuddles with Aunt Gina. Ev is probably the only child who will actually request to go to bed. The girls, however, stayed up for the entire game!!

Then on Saturday, we ventured on over to Josh's Gramma and Grampa's house for lunch. Here is Ry hanging out on Gramma's lap.

Back at home, Ryan was getting a kick out of Melvin the Giraffe.

"Hello, a little help??"

Earlier in the week, we decided to have Evan try on his Korean outfit. It's still a little big, so we'll have to try it again later. Other than two we have, I'm not sure how many Korean kids have almost blonde hair and blue eyes!! :o)

And since we were in the mood to try things on, we busted out the pirate costume again.

I know, enough with the dancing videos, right? But I dare you to find a cuter dancing pirate! :o)

Happy New Year!!

At the beginning of the week, we had a couple of inches of snow dumped on us. Ev got all bundled up to check it out:

Testing out his shovel...

Whew! What a work out!!
Since we have zero hills in the area, Josh piled up the back steps with snow so that Ev could sled down it. Look of pure joy! :o)

A break to warm up, and he was glued to the tv to watch some Mickey.

Then we went bowling with Pop-Pop and Halmoni. Must have been a strike! :o) Ryan enjoys some bowling as well. Josh had the boys for a couple of days when I went to work this week, and they all had a good time together. Evan shows Ryan the fine workings of the mailbox. One proud papa. :o)

Ryan hanging out on our bed while I got ready for the day.

On Friday, Jared, Gina, Leah and Isaac came down to hang out. Evan tries to help Isaac put the rings back in order.

Too cute. :o)

We thought it would be funny to put the kiddos in the middle of the bounce house while it blew up. They did not. :o) Ha ha, Evan has a look of apprehension but isn't too bad. Poor Leah shows definite fear. And yes, Jared slept on the couch in the background through it all. :o)

Bounce, bounce!!

We had our annual Hertzog Family Christmas party on Saturday, where we realized we should kidnap Madison to be our full time babysitter! :o)

Giving Aunt Lina some love!
