Bring on the heat!

Looks like our days of perfect weather are over... Wait! Scratch that, does Las Vegas ever have good weather? The weather in Vegas has been a little weird; hot, sunny, windy, cold, cloudy, etc.-

Wow! Did February and March already pass, now its April? Where does the time go these days? I feel like there are never enough hours in the day to accomplish everything I want to do.

Here is a little update on our family...

Ryan: Good news! He has fully recovered from his appendectomy. As usual, Ryan is a workaholic. He has been extra busy with CiCi's as there have been some changes. Ryan is now managing the store up in North Las Vegas. I am not too happy about this move as I dont like that side of town, but I know he will do great!

Deanna: I am in my 3rd week for a Business Finance course. After this class I have 6 more to go and then graduation. I typically keep myself busy with my motherly duties, household responsibilities, and going to school.


Caleb: He is finally showing more interest with potty time. He goes to the bathroom nightly before bath time. He is very talkative and loves to tell stories. He often tells me stories about the TV shows he watches. He has warmed up to Thomas more and he is always worried about his baby brother. He checks on him in the middle of the night before crawling into our bed. He has become better at understanding his role as a big brother. He always tells me how much he loves his "baby."


Thomas: He is now 6 months old. Again, where does the time go? I feel like I just brought him home from the hospital. Thomas can now roll, roll, and roll. He never wants to stop rolling. He is trying to crawl but often becomes frustrated about how much effort it takes just to move a few inches. He is learning to sit up. He usually can sit up for about 10 seconds before he kicks his feet and falls back. We have him back on his breathing treatments, and he is scheduled to do some allergy tests around 9 months if needed. In light of all these allergies, Thomas has a few first words he loves to share with me... those words are "baba" which means bottle... and "dada" which means, well I dont have to tell you, its obvious! Yes! I am a little jealous he says "dada."

In light of our busy lives, we had a surprise visit from Ryan's Grandpa and Grandma Richardson. They were driving through on their way back to North Dakota. We had lunch at Lucille's BBQ and then said our good bye's as they were on their way to Utah to see other family. Though it was short, its always nice to see family.
