113 Miles

I'm so proud of Ricky. He's been trainig so hard and it looks like it's paying off. The guys rode 113 miles on saturday!! I was kind of bugged cause it took them like 6 hours but man, what an accomplishment. The Ironmans in about 75 days or so , but it looks like they're doing pretty good. Ricky said he felt really good about it and Scott said he was a "phenom" on the bike. Now I just hope he can do that, swim 2 miles and run a marathon!!!
Cute little Raiden got 2 more teeth this weekend. He was pretty fussy on saturday but he's doing pretty good for getting all those teeth. I've been giving him rice cereal at night but tonight he had his first baby food. Yummy sweet potatoes. He loved it. He couldn't get enough. I'm hoping maybe he'll sleep better having such a full tummy.

Cupcake

We had such a good, relaxing weekend. Ricky had the day off on Monday for Martin Luther King day so he finally got a chance to sleep in. He gets up at 4:30 for work and then trains super hard every day for the Ironman so he's totally worn out. He needed a break. While he was snoozing monday morning I used the coolest thing i've ever seen. It's a giant cupcake pan. Kristi gave it to me for Christmas and I LOVE it. I think i'll make one for everybodys birthday this year so by the end of the year I should have them perfected! I'm so dorky but I love baking. I watch the food network all the time to get new recipes and ideas. I think i'm probably the only girl who would rather watch Paula Deen than Oprah!

TOOTH

My little guy had a big day today, he got his first TOOTH!! It just barely broke the skin but it's definitely there. I can't believe it. He's getting so big. He turned 5 months old yesterday.

TWILIGHT

I know i'm like totally behind the whole Twilight craze, but i'm now officially obsessed! I'm half way through New Moon right now and I can't stop reading it, or thinking about it. Last night I was up late with Raiden and I seriously got scared that Victoria was going to come after me. I guess I need to stop reading it at night. I miss Edward though. I know he has to come back but when??? I wonder how he's going to be towards Jacob? And who will she choose???? Ricky can't believe i'm reading a book about vampires and werewolves. I LOVE IT!!

Ricky has a wonderful little habit of buying things, buying BIG things I should say, and not telling me until they show up at the door. Well, the latest has arrived. Ricky bought a new Tri Bike. In his words, "it's pimp". I guess if you're gonna do an Ironman you need the right gear. Hopefully this will be all he needs for a while, but we all know thats not happening. Anyways, it's a pretty cool bike and I guess now he feels like he fits in with the rest of the guys. I think I'm a little less nervous knowing he's at least got a good bike to help him through the Ironman. So, anyways, today my dad and sister in law Kristen did the half marathon. Woohoo!!! They both did so good. We were so proud. My dads the studliest granpda we know!!! Raidens got a new trick. He sticks his feet in the air and grabs his toes. It's so stinking cute. what would we do without him. We also think hes got his first tooth coming in. It makes me wanna cry. That means he's getting so big.

Catch up

I have so much to catch up on. I know, i'm the worst blogger. We had a great Christmas. Raidens 1st one! It was last Christmas day that we found out we were pregnant! I love Christmas, and i'm so sad it's over. Ricky got me my ring i've been wanting! I love it. It was a total surprise. Jeff, Becky and Brody were in town so all of the family hung out a lot. New years eve we all played games and ate while the kids lit fire works and stuff. Nothing too crazy. One of my new years resolutions is too keep up on my blogging. So, we'll see how well I do.
