Braves Country Caravan

Today we got to go visit daddy and grandpa at Dobbins. The Braves Country Caravan made a special stop to visit the soldiers. While we sited for the Braves to arrive, the Army band played the tomahawk chop, take me out to the ball game and other baseball songs. Nathan thought it was really loud, but Anderson loved it! He tried 'chopping' and he danced to the songs.
After the braves arrived, there was a little time for questions, before the autographs began. We were able to get autographs from everyone that came: Jason Heyward, B.J. Upton, Mike Minor, Eric O'Flaherty, Freddie Gonzalez, Carlos Tosca and Frank Wren. All but O'Flaherty signed our pennant and we got Heyward, Minor, Upton and O'Flaherty to sign baseballs. It was a really fun morning. I am glad we got to go!

Hooray!

It's a GIRL!

We found out on January 21st that it looks like the next Rygmyr will be a girl! We are super excited about it! So much to do now, bow and dresses and shoes and...

Grandpa and Grandma's visit

 Grandma and grandpa Anderson came to visit us for Christmas. They got in on the 17th, after a long day at the San Diego airport on the 16th (the day they were supposed to get here). They came from Braedons Marine Corps graduation. A few days after they got here, we drove to Bonnie and Russ' house for a little visit.

 After that, we came back to our house to get ready for Christmas, making treats and wrapping presents.

 On Christmas Eve, we read the Nativity story and Nathan acted it out with his Fisher Price Nativity. Then, after Nathan made a pretty good attempt at reciting "Twas the Night Before Christmas" the boys opened their new Christmas pj's.

 After we had Christmas at our house, we drove over to grandpa and grandma Rygmyr's house. While we were there we let g & g Rygmyr open their Christmas surprise.

 Everyone was very excited to hear about the new baby.

 The next few days were spent assembling toys and having Nerf gun fights.

 And eating lots of yummy food.

 The boys out for a ride.

 Fixing the Jeep

 Fixing the broken chair.

 Playing at the park.

 Assembling more LEGO's

 and playing with the train

 Aunt Heather and cousin Braedon got the boys new shirts. I told them we would take a picture in them, but that they wouldn't wear them out of the house.

And slept!

We had a lot of fun with grandpa and grandma Anderson. We are so glad that they were able to stay for so long. We are already looking forward to seeing them again later this year.

Merry Christmas

 After Santa came

 Getting their Santa presents

 LEGO pirate game

 LEGO Batman game

 Little People airplane, I love how he could not drop his bottle to look at his presents.

 After tearing off a piece of wrapping paper, AJ would put it in the garbage bag.

 Tick-Tock Croc clock from Aunt Bonnie

 Helping Daddy open his piano. Since I wrapped the piano almost everyday AJ would tear the paper on it and/or Nathan would tell David what it was.

 Anderson was having a lot of fun playing the keyboard, he kept dancing and tapping his foot to the "beat".

 Brothers jamming!

Not the best picture of dad, he looks like a deer in headlights, but the other one made him look creepy (sorry dad).

 Grandpa and Grandma opening their Christmas surprise, an ultrasound of the new baby! That's right, I said new baby! We are expecting a new addition to the Rygmyr family on or about July 01, 2013!

 AJ wanted to drink out of the Coke bottle we left for Santa. Santa loves Coke-a-Cola!

 Playing with the new Christmas Nerf gun Nathan got. We have had a lot of "ambush's" at our house since!

 We are cat sitting for some friends and one of the cats likes to play a lot. He was playing with AJ and Daddy under the door.

Anderson laughed and laughed.

(I will put a few more pictures on after I get them off Grandma's camera).

We had a great Christmas! Anderson woke up a little after 8 and so I went and woke Nathan up. Nathan was so excited to see all the presents Santa brought down our chimney. AJ didn't really get the hang of opening the presents, but good thing he has a god big brother who is willing to help out.

We had presents, breakfast and games at our house before heading off to grandpa and grandma Rygmyr's house for more presents and food.  It was a fun filled day, we are so glad we got to spend the day with our family. Nathan loves all of his presents, he got everything on his list except a LEGO snowman. We have been building LEGO's since (and we still have more to build).

The best however, was announcing to our families that we are having another baby. We are almost 13 weeks now, it has been hard to keep the secret for so long, but well worth the happy faces as they opened the boxes with the picture of the ultrasound in it. We are very excited about the new addition, and look forward to finding out if it will be another boy, or, maybe a girl!
