I'm going to be on TV!!! AHHHH!

Holy Cow! This morning I was taking a nap and got an awesome phone call! I watch Studio 5 almost everyday. For those of you outside of Utah you probably have no idea what this is. It's a show that they show you craft ideas, recipes, exercise tips, and tons more. Anyways, they are doing a segment about making unhealthy recipes healthy. So I decided to send one in just for fun. I never win anything so I figured nothing would happen. So that phone call was the producer or something calling to tell me that they picked my recipe! I am going to be on the show on Friday at 11 am! I can't believe it! I am still shaking with excitement and nervousness! I have never been on TV except to sing for the YW General meeting. I told Dax I need to go on a shopping spree now...you have to look good for TV!

Sledding, Dancing, Eating

Sledding:
For Christmas Ryan got snow boots and a sled from Grandma and Grandpa Wood. His first experience sledding wasn't the best. As soon as we set him in the snow he fell and face planted into the snow. That kind of ticked him off so he was a little grumpy. His favorite thing to do is just eat the snow, or watch it fall from the sky....he thinks that is quite funny.





Dancing:
We have quite the little dancer. It started out as just him standing, holding on to something and moving back and forth. But as you can see from the video his dancing has changed quite a bit...thanks to Dad's example.


Eating:
I don't like when Ryan gets messy when eating so usually I just feed him or give him things that aren't too messy, but I have decided he really needs to learn to feed himself no matter how hard it is for me to watch. Anyways, I gave him a fork and bowl of Mac & Cheese. I showed him how to scoop it out but he still just held the fork and then used his fingers to eat. Once he couldn't reach the food in the corner of the bowl this is what he did....

Like Father, Like Son

I think most people know that Dax loves video games. I think it must be a gene. Ryan absolutley loves them too. I don't like that he likes them so much, but Dax loves it. He always says how fun it will be to play video games with his son. Anways, Ryan knows how to turn the Xbox on and he knows to push buttons and move the toggles on the controllers. So here are my two gamers playing together.




Dax and I are doing a little side job for a friend of his to earn some extra money, but it requires some traveling and Ryan isn't the best at riding in the car. He is not one to hold still for long periods of time. If you've been around him you have probably noticed that he never stops. Anyways, towards the end of our long car ride Ryan was getting a little bored and when he gets bored he gets loud. So I tried giving him a bunch of different toys but nothing was working. So finally I handed him a little doll that Dax's aunt gave him for Christmas and all of the sudden he was quiet. He loves the doll! His favorite thing is to sit and tickle his own face with its crazy hair. After he tickles his face there is always a little giggle. Anyways, that doll saved us from going crazy...Thanks Aunt Deanne!
