Let's start around Halloween. I was super excited that we were taking Ryker (my little dragon) to Boo at the Zoo here in Idaho Falls. We all bundled up and headed to the zoo. They have lots of lights and decorations and most of the animals are still out. Multiple local businesses set up boothes and pass out candy or small items to promote their business. Even though Ryker was still too small to really eat candy and "trick or treat", we still had a really good time!

After Halloween, November seemed to fly by. Chad and I celebrated our 3 year anniversary on the 22nd. It wasn't the most romantic anniversary we've had. Chad had to work that day and we planned to leave for Arizona to visit my brother for Thanksgiving as soon as Chad got home. So we spent our anniversary driving through the night. But, I must say, a trip to AZ was a great anniversary present! I LOVE the heat! Like I said, we spent Thanksgiving in AZ with my brother Travis. It was the first time Ryker would meet his uncle Travis, aunt Reilly and cousins JJ, Owen and Tommy. It was a good time. Lots of warm weather, shopping and spending time with family.
About a week after we got home from AZ, Ryker had his 4 month checkup. He's a whopping 14 lbs. 7 oz. and 24.5 in. long. He did really good for his shots, but for about 5 days after his shots, he was not a happy baby! (I'll upload a pic of him at 4 months as soon as I get them on this computer.) He's finally getting back to normal and going back on his regular sleep schedule (thank goodness!) So now we're preparing for the next holiday, Christmas! I'm very excited for Christmas! It really is my favorite time of the year! I've got the tree up and all the presents wrapped (about 99% of the presents under our tree are for little bug!) Just can't wait for Christmas morning to get here! Stay tuned for pictures of that!
