Happy 21st Birthday Donny

I met Donny when he was 10, this past weekend, we celebrated his 21st birthday. The years have flown by. We went down to the Beach like good old times. It's was kind of weird to see him take a shot with his dad and three uncles. Reno here we come!!!

Christmas 2008

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".

Santa Visit 2008

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.

I only left for 10 mins

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.

Christmas Tree

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.

Check out the Coug ornament:)

More hunting pictures

I told Phillip that I would post a few more. Here they are.

Happy Thanksgiving

Yesterday we celebrated Thanksgiving at Phill and Carol's house. How in the world did we get so lucky? We are so thankful that we have a such a loving family. Happy Holidays. The Ringrose's.

Tristan the artist

Look what Tristan made last week in school. This one is going into a frame. Thank goodness someone in this house is artistic.

Go Cougs!!!

Yesterday we watched the Applecup at Chris and Larissa's. What an exciting game. Don't you just love Dennis' golf cart? It's too bad that they did not win. Maybe next year?

Baby Ella is getting so big. It's hard to believe that she will be a year in Feb.

A fun day at the park

Yesterday was such a beautiful day. Phillip and I took the boys to the park. I wish that we had more crisp days like that.

After a long day, Tristan crashed in his car seat. Don't you just love his hat? He thinks that he is a rock star.

Hunting 2008

Daddy is home and he brought us back a "big buck" so say's Tristan. It's so nice to have him back safe and sound. Uncle Mike, Uncle Jimmy, and DJ also had some good luck.
Here is a picture of Phillip's buck. Tristan kept asking "why uncle Jimmy's buck so small"

Where it all started....

Today, I decided that it was time to clean out my inbox. I came across the link listed below. For those of you that have not seen this, I created them last year. I can't believe how fast the time has gone by. It's time to give them both an update. As I watch (just like the first time) it brings tears to my eyes. I am so thankful to have such healthy boys, a wonderful husband, a loving family and numerous friends. I just don't say it enough. Enjoy this as much as I do.

Rainy day

Will the rain ever go away? To think that this is only the beginning.

Tristan looks so big to me in this picture.

Halloween 2008

Last night we went trick or treating around our neighborhood. Talk about a sugar high. Those kids got so much Candy. We had so much fun and the kids did a great job.

Pumpkin Carving 2008

We had another successful year carving our pumpkins. Uncle Mike had to work, we sure did miss him.

It looks like Phillip was having more fun than the kids.

Di's 40th Birthday/Halloween Party

Last night we went to Di's 40th Birthday/Halloween party. I was dressed up as an angel (didn't get any pictures). We had so much fun. Thanks Di for having such a fun party.
