Our past few days...

Josh's mom, Judy got here on Thursday evening. On Saturday we got to go to the zoo! We had originally planned to go to the coast, but Ryan was getting sick and we didn't think it would be a good idea to have him in cooler weather with the wind and all. It was a beautiful day so we thought the zoo would be fun. It turned out to be Packy's 46th birthday! So they had really cute elephant ears for the kids, and lots of other cool stuff. There is also a new baby elephant, so that was really fun too! On Sunday, Ryan worked on learning to ride his bike without his training wheels. For Christmas he got his new bike and we have been practicing...but with all the rain, we don't get a lot of time to be outside. But I did get a couple pictures and some good video of him riding! Ryan is doing wonderful in school! He's had a serious turn around and I'm really hoping that it's a permanent one! He's reading VERY well. He's been a little sick but I think it's coming to an end. Cole of course is JUST now getting sick. :-( Poor guy...between that and getting more teeth, he's pretty sad! He has nine teeth now and the 10th is just about to break through. He's walking around like crazy, but I have yet to get it on camera!!! And the way he plays peek a boo is ADORABLE! Judy was very sweet and made us yummy dinners last night and and tonight! Here are some of the pics from the past couple of days!

Ryan and a picture of a lion. :-)

This picture is for reference...note how tall he is in comparison to the Sun Bear. This was taken a little under nine months ago.

This is Ryan just a couple of days ago! Can you believe how much he's grown in such a short time?!

Colerbear smiling away!!
