Why Mommy?

This is one of the newest phrases to escape my baby boy's mouth! I think it's hilarious! He is growing into a little boy so fast! He already LOVES to take off his underwear and run through the house w/ a huge smile on his face, again part of me thinks it's hilarious! He keeps us laughing over here. He already has a great personality, and a wonderful sense of humor. He likes to get on his hands and knees and chase Adam, "I'm donna dit you Daddy!" It is so cute!

He is learning new things so fast, we can't keep up. The other day we went to Old Navy. While I was checking out Adam and Aiden were talking. Adam was asking him what the letters were on the floor. He knew A and O - that wasn't surprising, but he also knew D; which we didn't know he knew! He does little things like that to shock us all the time it seems!

Aiden is doing wonderfully w/ potty training. He can wear underwear all day w/ out any accidents on most days. We still aren't pushing too hard, giving him the chance to do it on his own. He hardly ever poops in his pants anymore!! They grow up SO fast!

We're enjoying having Daddy home this week. Spending LOTS of time playing with our new toys, and just having 'down' time together. We're ready for the holidays to be over so Aiden can return to gymnastics. He has missed it so!

I guess that's about it for us! Hope you are all doing great!

Merry Christmas!!!

We hope you all had a very Merry Christmas! I can't believe it's already time to bring this year to a close!

We had a WONDERFUL Christmas! The celebrating started Christmas Eve at Aunt Kay's house. She SPOILED us this year. It took bringing my truck to haul all the gifts home and Adam's car to bring him and the kid’s home!! We got WAY too many things to list, but the highlights: a pink Kitchen Aid standing mixer for Mommy, a GPS thing for Daddy, Spiderman 4-wheeler for Aiden, and a HUGE kitchen for little Ryann. After we opened gifts came the YUMMY food!!! Then "drinks" and dessert.

We came home and played for a while. Daddy read the kids the Night before Christmas

Then we put out cookies for good Ol Saint Nick!

Santa was very good to us all! The kids got more stuff than they could ever want! Santa brought a small jump house, wagon and some other goodies! Mommy and Daddy got Aiden some drums, and Ryann a baby station, along w/ other goodies! My WONDERFUL hubby surprised me with the thing I wanted MOST - a bike and trailer to pull the kids in! I still have no clue how he got out of bed, set it up and didn't wake me - sneaky sneaky!!

After playing at home it was off the Gamma and Papa's home! More yummy food, and great gifts! We all got SO much stuff! I got the long pink coat that I've been drooling over!

It was a very Merry Christmas! We got to keep Ryann till the 26th, we hated that she didn't get to see her Mommy and sister on Christmas, but because of other family planning conflicts this was just the way it HAD to work :( We dropped her off yesterday; I know she was happy to see that side of family!

Adam's off till after the first! We get some MUCH needed family time before he heads back!

We hope you are all doing great!

Santa Clause is coming to town!

And Ryann CAN'T wait! She has a count down going on her calendar, it's very cute. I love that she is finally old enough to really understand what's going on. I asked her the other night, "Do you know why we celebrate Christmas?" She said, "No" I told her, "it's Jesus' birthday" She then says, "We can't get HIM anything!" It really was funny. Aiden will tell you, Santa brings my toys! That's about as much as he cares to understand at this point.

We're going to be BUSY, BUSY over the next week or so. Tomorrow we'll start making our Christmas cookies. Ryann is really looking forward to that part. We've got things all ready for the big day!

Not a whole lot more to report. Life is hectic, but we're hanging in there. The kids are still growing too fast to keep up with. We've already started planning for Aiden's SECOND birthday, so mark you calendars for Feb. 17, 2007 @3pm. I can't believe how fast these almost two years have gone!

We hope you all have a very Merry Christmas! We'll post some pictures over the next few days! Stay safe and warm!


LOTS OF LOVE,

Mommy, I love you!

Now tell me isn’t that the sweetest thing to hear! Aiden started saying those sweet, sweet words on his own today. He's been able to say it back for a long time now. Today we were in the car, and I hear, "Mommy", "what Aiden", "I ove YOU!!!" It made my heart melt! I wanted to pull over and give him a great big hug! He is talking up a storm these days. Most everything he says is very clear. Even people who don't know him, or spend much time with him understand most things he says.

Aiden is doing wonderfully in gymnastics. His coach has been very impressed with how quickly he has learned. He really loves going. When I tell him, "time to go to gymnastics" he throws his arms in the air and says, "whew-who! play! I want to jump!" (they start the class on the trampolines).

Christmas is right around the corner!!! Everyone is very excited, but I'm wondering - where did this year go?! Time has FLOWN!

We hope you're all doing great! Please be careful as your traveling during this busy time of the year.

Merry Fuson Christmas!!!!

We had our first Christmas celebration on Saturday. Some of the Fuson clan came over for good food, and great fun!!! It was so great to see everyone who was able to make it. It's crazy to think how much our family has grown - and so quickly! We are now up to EIGHT grandchildren! Colton, (the oldest) will be NINE next month!!! It seems like only yesterday he was Aiden's age!

I made my first and second turkey - they turned out really good! I was so scared I was going to ruin everything. I worried all day, but in the end everything was eatable! LOL!!! Everyone who came brought some yummy food too, so needless to say we'll be eating turkey, ham and brisket for the next week or so!

We were all so excited to have everyone over. Ryann asked ALL day when her cousins would get there. She couldn't wait to play with everyone! She told us 100+ times, "I want them to get here, I miss all my cousins SO much!" It was so nice to visit with everyone. We all live less than an hour apart, but life with kids keeps us too busy to visit very often. My cousin Jennifer and her boyfriend John were able to come this year, it was great to have them too! Uncle Frank and Aunt Brenda couldn't make it after all, we missed them; and hope to see them soon!!

The kids couldn't wait to open gifts! Ashelynn got to be "Santa" this year. Once she was done handing out gifts and I told the kids to tear in - they did! It was so funny; I wish we had video to share. It was like they had been waiting to open that first gift all their life... funny! Ryann and Aiden got some great gifts! After opening gifts we visited for a while longer, and then everyone headed home. We had a wonderful time visiting and playing with our family and can't wait to do it again!

After having Ryann for a little over three weeks, we took her back to her Mommy today. We were sad to see her go, but know she has missed her "other" family and was ready to go back. We'll pick up again real soon - she'll be her Christmas morning, and we can't wait!

New pix in our albums!

Wonderful big sister!!!

Aiden is the luckiest little boy in the whole wide world! He was blessed with a wonderful big sister. When they woke up from their nap today they asked to watch Bambi. Sometimes the thunderstorm scene scares Aiden. I heard him start to fuss, but I always try to let him work it out before rushing in to "save" him. Then I hear Ryann, "It's okay Aiden. Here, come sit behind Sissy, so you don't have to watch. It'll be over in just a second....... see it wasn't that bad, was it"? Is that not the SWEETEST thing EVER?!!!!! She is so loving! So sweet - you could just eat her up!!!!

Visiting Santa!!!

The kids went to visit Santa today. Ryann told us before we left the house, that she did not want to sit with Santa. We told her that was fine, turns out she didn't want to be anywhere near the big guy. Aiden on the other hand, has made a friend for life! He LOVED Santa! He sat there and let us take all the pictures we wanted.


We're off to see Happy Feet.

Hope you all have a wonderful day!!!!

ABCD......

Aiden's been working on getting down the alphabet song. For the longest he's just been able to sing A-G. Saturday night we were all sitting around the coffee table, talking and coloring. Ryann said something about her ABC's and Aiden sang the WHOLE song! Some of the letters he kinda 'melts' together, but he gets most of them in there! It's about the CUTEST thing ever! He has the sweetest little voice!! He is also learning to recognize written letters and numbers. He knows A very well, and the number 8 is getting easier. He blows us away!

We think Ryann has developed a slight case of motion sickness. When I picked her up a little over a week ago she got sick in the car on the way home. She told us that long rides in the car make her feel bad. Driving to see Gamma and Papa Yesterday morning - it happened again. Poor girl! After she throws up she feels better, so I guess that's a good thing. She is doing great! She is getting SO big! When ever Aiden starts doing something new we think about when Ryann started doing it too - seems SO long ago :(

We've got a busy week ahead of us, but it should be fun! Saturday we're having the "Fuson" Christmas at our house! It doesn't happen often, but both my brothers, my sister and I, (along spouse and children) will be under one roof! Our cousin Jennifer and her boyfriend John will also be joining us. Uncle Frank and Aunt Brenda maybe making the long drive from San Angelo to be with us too!!! We can't wait! There will be 19 of us!

Hope you are all doing great!
