Rich and Kim's blog: The Wickedly Wonderful Mountain Man

Pardon a pity party and some sappiness. I've had a crappy last week or so. My family's been sick, took Macie took the ER for a 3 day long super high fever, was there from 8 pm to 5 am. Yes, that's 9 hours but she's finally doing better. I'm pregnant and tired. Ryan is energetic. Rich has been working some insane, insane hours. I live on the 3rd floor and hate it more and more every day I get bigger. Macie's getting molars. And blah blah blah. Anyways, my husband did the most wonderful thing. He arranged a weekend getaway in San Francisco and got us Wicked tickets. And he did it all on his own. He thought of it, planned it, and made all the arrangements. I never really blog about him so I though it was high time for me to mention how great he is to me. He's super helpful, does the dishes, rarely has BO, works really hard to provide for us, doesn't mind me being a sore loser at game-playing, is a super fun dad, and just takes care of us. Thanks hon. Oh, and he's sporting the Mountain Man look lately, which I like.

Ryan says the funniest things

Ryan: "Can I use the computer?"

Me: Nope, I'm using it right now.

Ryan: "But I NEEEEED to. I'm just going to check my email."

Ryan is putting an animal puzzle together. The next piece to put in is the parrot.

Ryan: "Where does the carrot bird go?"

After going potty for a LONG time Ryan runs out to us and says, "Mommy I just went number TEN!"

Ryan calls his Aunt Renae "Aunt Bernae"

Ryan calls his uncles Dan and Keith "Apple Dan and Apple Keith"

Ryan calls Target "the Popcorn Store"-this is because I used to always get him popcorn when I shopped there so he'd be occupied for a long time and I could browse.

Ryan calls Costco "the Birthday Cake Store"-this is because one time I bought a cheesecake there for Bunko.

Ryans calls Lowes "the Christmas Store". We have no idea why. We never bought anything Christmasy there. He also calls his small yellow blocks "Christmas". Not Christmas blocks. Just Christmas.

Whenever we see an airplane Ryan says, "It's going to the Oport!"

Since Ryan was about a year old he said the word, "Doodah" and soon after he started saying "Meeeem". We don't know where these came from but he still says them.

The other day I threw away one of Ryan's drawings (I know, bad mom:). Later he was throwing something away and saw the drawing in the trash and said, "Mommy, that is NOT VERY NICE!" and he took it out.

When Ryan was about 2 1/2 he started saying, "I have a IDEA!" and we'd say, "What's your idea?" and he'd say, "Oh, number 2." His idea was number 2 for a long time until all of a sudden it changed to number 4.
