Yesterday we had a baby shower for Diana. We had so much fun. Di and Brian received a lot of awesome gifts. We can't wait to meet Jaxson.
You guys are going to be wonderful parents. We are so excited for you. Here's to a healthy baby and a safe delivery.
Melinda and family
Before I was a Mom, I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn't worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.
Before I was a Mom, I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts. I slept all night.
Before I was a Mom, I never held down a screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried. I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin. I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.
Before I was a Mom, I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn't want to put her down. I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn't stop the hurt. I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much. I never knew I would love being a Mom.
Before I was a Mom, I didn't know the feeling of having my heart outside my body.. I didn't know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn't know that bond between a mother and her child. I didn't know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy. Before I was a Mom, I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay. I had never known the warmth, the joy, the love, the heartache, the wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom. I didn't know I was capable of feeling so much, before I was a Mom .
Canyon finally got a hair cut

It seems like it's been a lot longer than 6 weeks since Tristan got a hair cut. We asked Chris to cut it shorter on top. He looks so grown up.
On Thursday we went to Tristan's "rescheduled" Christmas program. Mr. Canyon acted as if he was apart of Tristan's class. I think that he had more fun. He is going to be our class clown.

There's Taylor Gillis
I can't believe that it's been 10 days since my last post. It's been crazy around the Ringrose household.
Phillip and I hosted our first Christmas Eve. The Johnson's couldn't make it (they were snowed in) and The Ostrander's were at Mike's brothers house. Overall it was a mello evening. Christmas morning we opened our gifts from Santa, went to my parents house for breakfast, came home to nap and then went back to my parents house for dinner.
Five pounds later, I am still feeling pretty darn full.
Merry Christmas.
The Ringrose's
It is so hard to get a picture of these boys together. So, I have to take them one at a time.
At least Canyon likes to say "cheese".
Today we took the kids to see Santa. I am so proud of them. No tears, no screams, and no complaining. Tristan even told Santa what he wanted. Happy Holidays.
Before I went to the store (to get the little guy some Tylenol) Daddy was getting Canyon out of his bath. When I came home, he was back in the tub with his pj's on. I guess he is too quick for his daddy. Gotta love those boys.
Yesterday we cut down our 2008 Christmas tree. We missed the rain storm by 15 mins.
We had a wonderful time and was so thankful that we didn't have to push any kids this year in the stroller.
