Ready for Christmas!

Well, It has been an extremely long time since we posted something on here. I am going to keep this up to date as much as possible!

Merry Christmas Everyone!
Wow, It really Feels like Christmas this Year! Ryley is really asking for things! and if Santa doesn't bring it can Mommy and Daddy get it for her Birthday? She realizes her Birthday is shortly after Christmas! I asked her to go thru Toys R Us Big Toy ad, Circle it so we know what all she wants... Yeah, She circled 95% of it, "Girls" and "Boys" things. She is too cute. Normal as a almost 5year old can be! Very Thankful for how well she is doing, and for how far she has come!
On Christmas Day We are not going anywhere. Since we are at Grams and Pa's house, (Chasta's Parents home) Santa will come here for us. Then we will Celebrate Christmas with Grams and Pa and Aunt Nay~Nay and Uncle Jay and all 6 kids of the Jaydy Bunch, Candace, Caleb, Christian, Kylie, Ethan and Mikinzi. It will be alot of Fun.
Christmas Eve We will be spending it with Grandma and PaPa, marsh austin aidan, Kevin, Hopefully Lori Angelo, Micheal,and Missy and Robert! IT will be a blast...
Merry Chistmas Everyone!! Have a Great December and another post soon.
Love,
Chasta, Bill and Ryley

Dolphins, Sea Turtles, What's Next????

Well it is getting hotter everywhere now! Your house, our house, just about everywhere!The Weather is wonderful, Except the darn Mosquito's!!! We went somewhere yesterday and within the 15minutes, We got bit way too many times! half way thru we put spray on Ryley and then they moved to her face, ouch. I feel so bad! Ryley has 6 bites on her face. Poor kiddo. I hate it but what can we do right? We went out on the boat this morning. Ryley went on the tube with me for the first time. We ended up being only about 25 feet from a pod of dolphin!!! It was very neat! Ryley loved it and I have to say Bill and I did to.

Seeing Ry's face and hearing her giggle while we were on the tube was the Best!!!! She kept yelling to her Daddy, Faster, Faster!! Then she would say "He can't hear me, you yell tell him to drive faster!!" It was sooo much fun.

later on Bill was out fishing and he called and said the Dolphin were back and so he came and picked up Ryley and me. We followed them for a bit, then Sun was starting to go down. We saw A Mommy and her Baby and Ryley wanted as much as I did, to get in the water. I did and then she did also, but It was a bit much for me. too dark too quick and I did not want to be dinner for some hungry shark. It took a little bit to get Ryley in the boat! But we did, of Course!
I hope the dolphin come back when my mom is here! We all Can't wait for her visit.
We also Saw a Sea Turtle! Unfortunately It had been hit by a boat and was hurt very badly! It was not alive. But we did call the turtle hospital to figure out what we needed to do. Poor turtle. It was very big!!! the poor thing was just floating with a huge gash in its shell. it had blue paint on its head and shell where the bottom of the boat hit it!
When we went back out it was no longer around, so we are guessing They Came and got the Turtle. Ryley was very sad as were both Bill and me!
We did not have a camera the whole day, no we had a camera the 2nd time we went outbut of course I hadn't put the card back in so I couldn't take any pictures.

Ryley has one week 2 days left of school. They finally decided they are going to do a summer pre-k class. Which helps with work scheduels! Ryley is liking school alot. She is almost Writing her first name. She knows her address. she is doing GREAT!!! She was sick a few times the past couple of weeks. Bill was once but knock on wood I haven't been sick lately.
I have been working alot, and I love working! Not sure if it is doing me good . Socially yes it is but, alot of hours is draining me quickly.
Bill is doing great with his job. He still likes it. This seasonis going to be the hardest on commision, but he can do it. He is a great salesman!!
Hope everyone is doing WELL!!
Chasta, Bill and Ryley!!

Fun times

Well now it is february, the month of January went by quickly! We had some cooler days but we had equal or a few more than, nice warm days. The beach has been fun. The days spent at home have been a blast as well. We had guests as Ryley called them. That was alot of fun. We really enjoyed seeing family!
Grandma (Billy's mom), Missy and Robert came down when Billy drove down our truck from Missouri. They had 2 very nice days for the beach but then it was Chilly. We were able to go to Key west and let them see Duval St. But too cloudy for Sunset at Mallory Square. We had such a great visit with them.
Then a few days after they left Aunt Nay Nay, Chasta's Sister, Uncle Jay, Caleb, Ethan, and Kinzi came on vacation to see us for a week as well. We had a great time while they were here as well! We did have a few better days with the weather, More sunny days, still on the cooler side, but we were able to go to Malllory square in Key West. Ryley loved having her cousins here to play with. Ryley and Kinzi played and played and played. Ryley even started wanting to play more with Ethan. Usually since he is a boy she and Kinzi is closer to here age she tends to want to play more with her. And of course with Caleb she is just attached to him.
Caleb and Jay went fishing with Billy on our Neighbors boat. Caleb caught a lot of fish, They all did. THey had alot of fun!
Hope everyone is doing well. We are good. The weather should be breaking soon and getting warmer and warmer. Then we will go out on the boat and go swimming and snorkeling. Ryley can't wait to go Swimming off the boat again.
We will write again soon!

January 2009 update!!

So it is January 2009! Hope everyone had a safe and Great New Year! We did, we dod not leave the house in the evening. We had a good family night. Billy and I stayed up thru midinght plus some. Ryley went to bed about 10:30 the night. New Years Day was Wonderful! We all went out on the boat! Ryey jumped into the water but, didnt want to snorkel. She did however swim alot. Billy and I did snorkel. Then we came home and played outside for a while until the no-see ums (very tiny biting bugs) starting to come out and bite. It was nice to be out of the house together as a family on January 1, and not freeze. It was alot of fun. Ryley had a Wonderful Birthday. We had her party The Saturday after her Birthday. It was so nice to have an outside Birthday Party for her. We had it at the local park in Big Pine. There was hardly a mess, And Ryley had a Blast! She had Friends to play with. Her little friend, Kara came and they played from the time she got there to the it was time to go. The ground that the playground is on is Very soft White Sand, so we took Sand Toys, They had the playground to play on, and We took a few balls for the little ones to play with, and I had planned a few small games just in case we needed them, but we didn't. They were very busy and were just having Great Time. Ryley is at the age now that She and her friends Play together not just side by side. It was really neat to see her Play. We got Ryley a wet suit, New Hannah Montana Stickers and A Turtle that hang is hanging on her ceinling in her bedroom. She had a great Birthday. Ryley started back to school today. I hope she does ok. We will see when I pick her up. Well I will post again soon! Love you all. Chasta, Bill and Ryley
