2010-11-08T22:11:00.000-07:00

We went to a local farm this fall and Ryker had a blast.
He loved the animals. We went on hayrides and picked out pumpkins.
Fall is the best season. I love it. We are still in the middle of it hre.
The leaves are just starting to change.

labor day in midway

2010-09-09T17:26:00.000-06:00

We had such a fun time in Midway over Labor Day weekend.
Ryker had so much fun with all his cousins. He talks about them
every day. The weather was beautiful and Swiss days was so fun.

dirty little boy

2010-08-21T17:33:00.001-06:00

This is almost a daily thing at our house. We can barely skip a day without having to get in the tub. Ryker loves being outside.

2010-08-21T17:29:00.000-06:00

We have had a fun summer so far.

We had a great party. Ryker got lots of great stuff and only cared about a$3 tractor.
He wanted lots of green balloons for decorations.

He got a drill that works great upside down.

He even caught on to how to blow out candles.

Now we are mastering the wiggle car

It was great! I love that little guy!

This littel guy...

You are a wonderful dad.
Ryker is lucky to have you.

WE LOVE YOU

2010-06-02T20:45:00.001-06:00

I am so glad we got to take some time and visit with Jesses grandparents.
We had such a great time.

summer...

2010-06-02T20:31:00.001-06:00

We have been gardening

taking care of the dandelions

and mowing the lawn.

We are off to a good start.

first real haircut

2010-06-02T20:17:00.001-06:00

I LOVE Rykers hair. I will never get rid of those curls. But we had to trim it up a bit. Thanks Auntie Morgani

2010-04-23T18:28:00.000-06:00

I'm having so much fun this year growing a vegetable garden.
We aren't really starting on the yard right now, but I wanted to at least
start a garden this year. So far we have been eating lettuce and
radishes and spinach. Cant wait for tomatoes!!

a good place to read

2010-04-23T16:57:00.000-06:00

2010-04-23T16:33:00.001-06:00

Grandpa brought us our very own tractor the other day. He scraped weeds and helped us move dirt and rocks. Ryker thought it was pretty cool.

Ryker's dream daytrip

2010-04-23T16:24:00.001-06:00

We went to a lake on day and there was really
big condtruction equipment parked nearby. We went to check it out
and Ryker was having the time of his life. He loved it!! Then we
went to the lake and had a picnic and threw 3 milion rocks in the water.

a ride in the helicopta

2010-04-19T21:50:00.000-06:00

I was worried Ryker would be scared and want to get out. He did great.

our awesome pilot

I couln't get him out of there when we were done. He thought it was pretty cool.

a little bit of easter

2010-04-08T22:20:00.000-06:00

2010-04-08T22:15:00.000-06:00

When things get quiet, I know i should go find Ryker.
Usually when I find him it is picture worthy. Here he is playing cars in the cupboard.

I saw that the pantry door was open and Ryker wasn't in there.
I found him in his rocking chair watching a movie eating a bag of chips.

2010-04-08T21:59:00.000-06:00

This cute little man.....

fed some of these little guys. We had fun. It was beautiful outside.

Sometimes he got it clear out into the pond....

and sometimes he didnt.

tractors tractors everywhere

2010-03-23T14:41:00.000-06:00

Tractors are so in right now

2010-03-23T14:35:00.001-06:00

Here is Jesse going crazy trying to figure out how to hang crown molding on the top of the cupboards.

Ryker helping out as usual

We are getting so close on our kitchen. We have been in this house a year now. I can't believe it. I am about to have areal kitchen back. Our cabinet doors are here and are in the process of getting painted and stained. The countertops are getting measured this weeks and will hopefully be done in the next week. We had to get a kitchen sink before they measured for countertops. I can't belive how expensive they are!!! Holy cow. The best price we could find was $420 for what we wanted. I went to our local ReStore and found one for $39 today. I am so happy. So here is the latest update. Next time it will be all finished.

I think I have a lefty

2010-02-26T21:51:00.000-07:00

100% boy

2010-02-26T21:30:00.002-07:00

I love my little boy. I thought I would be sad to not have pink everything and lace and bows. But I love the cars and trucks and tractors. We eat, sleep and breathe cars around here. Here are a few examples:

The other morning, Ryker woke up a little earlier than I would have preferred. I got him settled in with his chocolate milk and a movie and I layed on the couch to sleep a little longer. Well I heard him running back and forth to his room and playing around for a while. When I opened my eyes this is what I saw

I had Jesse take a picture cuz I thought it was so funny. I was SURROUNDED by cars and books and dogs.

We have to play with EVERY SINGLE CAR every time we play "caws"
( and add a few tractors and random farm animals)

Oh, and it never hurts to throw in an alligator

2010-02-26T21:21:00.000-07:00

We have been doing lots of projects around the house.
Ryker is always willing to help.
Here are some of his latest projects:
*Painting on walls that I just finished painting, and the old microwave that was sitting close by
*Digging seeds out of the garden that I just planted
*Trying out the drawer in the new stove (we are officially installing the anti-tip bracket now)
*Getting stuck in cupboards....and the list goes on

pinewood derby

2010-02-04T10:24:00.003-07:00

I was in charge of treats for the Pinewood Derby this year in our ward. My mom found this cute idea. I thought it was so fun and the boys loved it.

Finally!!

2010-02-04T10:13:00.003-07:00

Congratulations Jesse!! He just finished his Bachelors in Aviation Business Management. I am so so PROUD of him! Thank you Jesse for working so hard for our family. I really appreciate it! We love you!!

hello?

2010-02-04T10:11:00.000-07:00

He loves to talk on the phone.
Whenever he can get his hands on one.
And no, his toy cell phone will not do.

2010-02-04T10:06:00.000-07:00

Going to bed is quit the interesting thing these days.
Ryker always has to take a bunch of things with him.
The blanket and cars(pronounced "cause")pillow go without saying.

2010-02-04T10:00:00.000-07:00

Ryker is feeding Lightening McQueen some of his chicken nuggets

big helper

2010-01-23T20:19:00.000-07:00

Ryker loves being right in the middle of every project.

We played lots of games

We used a new style of Christmas tree decorating

We took the bows of most of the prestents

Some more new decorating styles

We cooked lots of yummy food.

Ryker got lots of cars

We played with cars a lot

We even had to sleep with them

2009-12-19T15:09:00.004-07:00

I love this video. I think it is so funny. Ryker wouldn't eat his chicken nuggets. He was driving them around the tray like cars saying "vroom vroom". Then he starts singing this little song he sings sometimes "Ryker and mommy". It is so funny. He sings it over and over.

deck the halls.....

2009-12-12T23:20:00.000-07:00

Ryker was so fun this year when we put up our tree. He redecorated it over and over.
He says "lights..lights", everymorning when he gets up so I will plug in the tree lights.

2009-12-12T23:15:00.000-07:00

we had a little snow today
Ryker loved it

{family pictures}

2009-11-18T18:45:00.006-07:00

recently had family pictures done by a friend-Photos by Juanita.
I couldn't love them more!!!

a few funny things and a huge accomplishment

2009-11-17T12:18:00.003-07:00

*Ryker calls our christmas tree(yes I put it up already) the pokey pokey. It cracks me up.

*My christmas tree gets redecorated at least 4 times a day. It is currently, and might permanantly stay, only decorated on the top half.

*Little cars are Ryker new favorite toy. He usually always has one in his hand. He will come over and hide it under my leg, or put it down my shirt or wherever and then say, "ka go?" Which means Where did the car go mom. He loves that game.

*He is officially off the bottle! HURRAY!! Rough couple of days, but I am so happy. He did great.

2009-11-17T12:12:00.003-07:00

6. I am thankful for the dollar store. Might sound weird, but I love that place. They have lots of great stuff if you just look.

7. Grateful for a reliable car.

8. So thankful for my camera to capture my cute little Ryker bug and all his cuteness.

9. SO thankful to not have a t.v. on the main floor in my house. Much more peaceful.

10. I am loving our wood burning fireplace. It is So cozy and fun right now.

look

2009-11-11T21:51:00.000-07:00

those

CURLS

2009-11-11T21:41:00.000-07:00

Well my little boy is almost 17 months old and I am still adding to his "nursery".
Oh well, I love it.

I saw this cute idea in a magazine. You get some thick wire and wrap it with fabric.
Add some ribbon and a button or whatever you want. I think it is so cute!

This is my bedroom

2009-11-11T21:36:00.000-07:00

The sheetrock on the ceiling was drooping. According to my husband droopy sheetrock
is not a good thing. So we moved into the bedroom across the hall. Now the sheetrock
is not drooping. We also re-textured the walls and started painting.
Isn't the color on the back wall dreamy?I love my fence bed up against
it. I CAN see the potential.

2009-11-11T21:32:00.000-07:00

I did this project a while ago but wanted to post it. It gets me thinking
abou tother pieces of furnitute I don't love.

This is the before. I thought it was pretty ugly. Knew it had potential.

Here is the after. I love it. It was so easy too. I spray painted the chair, then when it was dry
I beat it up with a hammer. My neighbors are probably a little worried about me.
Then I brushed on some brown stain and wiped it off.
My front room is finally turning into a room I love.

2009-11-05T15:46:00.000-07:00

I thought fall weather was here...til this week. It has been so beautiful.
Today it was 80* and so went downtown to this great little
park that has a fun place to play in the water. Ryker was lovin it.
Love this St. Goerge weather right now!

are you noticing a trend?

2009-11-05T15:39:00.000-07:00

You really never know what you might find in cupboards around
my house. It constantly keeps me laughing.

Happy November

2009-11-05T15:00:00.003-07:00

I love fall best out of all the seasons. The crisp cooler air and the beautiful colors of the leaves. Thanksgiving and family are the best.

I am copying one of my friends blogs who is going to list something everyday in November that she is thankful for.

1. I am SO THANKFUL for my beautiful baby boy. He brings so much joy to my life.

2. I am thankful for Jesse and his home remodeling skills. Also for how hard he works for our family. Thanks babe!!

3. I am so very thankful to be a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. What joy and comfort it brings to my life! I am so grateful to know that I can be with my family forever.

4. Thankful for a wonderful family. Happy to be so close. I have great parents and wonderful sisters.

5. I am thankful for my job.

{more later}

Happy Halloween

2009-11-03T21:42:00.000-07:00

We had lots of fun this year. Ryker caught on very
fast at our neighborhood trunk-or-treat to take a
candy and put it in his bag. He was so cute in his
costume. He even left the hat on the whole night.

Stopping by Grandpa and Grandma's house.

Helping mommy hand out candy(or something like that).

Since it's getting colder outside...

2009-10-29T15:59:00.000-06:00

We need to keep our ears warm!!

oh...HI CAR

2009-10-29T15:44:00.000-06:00

Every morning when Ryker wakes up he wants to say hi
to the cars. So we go over to the window and pull up the
blinds and he stands there and says hi and waves to the
cars driving by. It is so cute it just makes me smile.

a little pre-Halloween fun

2009-10-26T21:40:00.001-06:00

We went to a little Halloween festival today. It was kinda
meant for bigger kids, but Ryker still had fun. He saw ducks
and climbed some logs. We also ran into some friends so he got
to play with his little friend Hailey. He wasn't so sure about the
Halloween decorations.

2009-10-25T21:56:00.001-06:00

I know I already put up a video off this, but I just love these pictures
so I put some more up.

We haven't done much of anything blog worthy lately. Ryker has been pretty
sick, but is MUCH better today. I am glad to have my happy little buddy
back.

Now we are going to go catch up on some fun fall activities.

a little dose of Ryker

2009-10-08T10:29:00.001-06:00

Happy Fall!!!

at the end of this video he says "rocks and car"

where's ryker

2009-10-04T21:34:00.000-06:00

Ryker is so much fun(most of the time).
He is so dang smart(I am his mom, I know, but he really is).
He says so many words now I can't even list them all.
From the second he wakes up til the second he falls asleep
he is begging me to put his shoes on so he can go outside.
A ball of any kind is still his toy of choice.

I can't believe he is 15 months old. I am always excited for him
to wake up in the morning so we can play. I love him so much!

2009-09-11T10:25:00.004-06:00

I never knew how excited I could get for a load of dirt and
some rocks. My dad had helped us to start getting this yard
into shape. We still have a ways to go but have made pretty
good progress. We just moved the blocks and rocks around
that were already in the yard. So all we spent is just for the
dirt.

These two pictures were taken right before we bought it.

Then I took this one yesterday. Thanks DAD!!

MUD

2009-09-10T11:09:00.000-06:00

We got a load of dirt the other day for our front yard. Ryker saw
Jesse sraying it down and wanted to do it too. He loved it. I was freaking out
at how muddy he was getting but then just decided to let him play.

Playin in the rain

2009-09-10T11:04:00.000-06:00

corn on the cob

2009-09-10T10:59:00.000-06:00

This is raw corn I was about to cook, when Ryker saw it
and just had to try it out. He liked it better than when
it was cooked.

2009-09-10T10:56:00.001-06:00

He loves his shades

and Douglas the duck and lamby

They are his favorite

Where are my shoes?

2009-09-10T10:52:00.000-06:00

Oh there they are

2009-09-10T10:51:00.000-06:00

I came home to this the other night. So cute

my kitchen is starting to take shape

2009-08-26T21:40:00.001-06:00

When we moved in......yuck

Still need to do quite a bit, but the vision in my head is slowly starting to take shape.

Ryker is way excited to have new cabinets

Some of our August

2009-08-26T00:14:00.003-06:00

2009-08-10T21:51:00.001-06:00

I think this is so funny. He likes to stand on the air vent
when the a/c is running.

2009-07-27T10:46:00.002-06:00

Well we finally moved Ryker's crib out of our room and into
his own room. We brought it down and I was dusting it off
and when I turned around Ryker was helping me clean.

monkey see monkey do

2009-07-27T10:42:00.000-06:00

This picture is so funny. He looks like he is really having a conversation
on his phone.

fun at the zoo

2009-07-27T10:40:00.000-06:00

We got to take Ryker to the zoo this weekend. It was so fun.
He got so excited when he saw the animals. We went with our
friends the Pattersons. Ryker loved playing with Kaymbrie, Payton
and Parker.

1 YEAR OLD

2009-07-13T16:03:00.002-06:00

I know I'm a little behind, but I just to show off these pictures.
I think they are adorable. My friend Juanita is very talented.
You can see her photography blog here.

4TH of July

2009-07-04T23:26:00.001-06:00

We started off the day in Cedar City at the parade
It was fun. Ryker didn't like the noisy fire trucks

Then We had a great picnic, in a beautiful spot
up Cedar canyon. It was nice and cool, and the food
was great.

Ryker played in the dirt with his tractor, he was happy

Then we climbed on a big tire. He thought he was
pretty cool stuff.

Such a fun busy day we didnt make it to fireworks

I am so thankful to live in such a wonderful, beautiful country.
I feel very blessed to have the freedoms we have.

how fast the days go by

2009-06-24T21:25:00.009-06:00

I am sitting here tonight looking through all the millions of pictures
of Ryker from this past year. What a wonderful year it has been. So
many wonderful memories. It is such a bitter sweet time for me
right now. I am sad my teensy little six pound bundle is such a
big boy now, but excited to watch him grow and learn new things.
I completely love being a mom. He has changed my life in so many
ways, all totally for the better. He is so sweet and fun.
I can hardly stand being away from him. He is the best part of my
whole life. I am excited every morning for him to wake up so we can
start a fun new day. I am so thankful for him.

So like I said before, I am so excited to see what this next next year
will be like with my little Ryker bug. I love you with all my {heart}!!

Or not. Ryker didn't like it one bit. He loved watching from afar.
It was too scary up close though.

any day now...

2009-06-24T20:51:00.001-06:00

Ryker will be walking. He hasn't really paid any attention
to this toy before today. Now he loves it. He is getting
pretty good. It's only a matter of time.

Happy Fathers Day!!

2009-06-21T12:22:00.006-06:00

We love you!!

2009-06-10T23:21:00.000-06:00

This is the front room when we moved in.

It was our project this weekend. Lots of texturing, painting,
and trim works and a few days got us here...

p.s. I only cleaned one set of of blinds so far...

11 months old

2009-06-06T00:45:00.001-06:00

As the months go by, I can't believe how fast my little Ryker
is growing. I also can't believe how hard it is to get one decent
picture of him. Here is the best we could do this month.
He doesn't sit still for more than a second, and he has ben carrying
around either this spoon or this screwdriver ALL the time.
He also felt the need to show poor alligator whose boss. He would
throw him around every time I put him close.

2009-06-01T17:28:00.000-06:00

Jesse has been working very hard the last few weeks to get
cabinets up in our kitchen. We didn't realize how much we
would miss them until we didn't have any. He is so talented.
He made the wall cabinets.
We bought the base ones unfinished so we can do it ourselves.
We are saving so much money this way.
Plus I get to do them how I want them!! Here they are so far.
No doors yet on the top. Not bad huh? Next we are focusing
on countertops and a stove.

let's catch up

Ryker just being cute. I have to chase him around to get
a diaper on these days. He has no time for such things,
much less pajamas.

One TINY little piece of a doughnut can still make a big mess.

Playing ball with cousin Carter and Peela in Las Vegas

I just think this is a funny picture.

Ryker has startd making this face all the time , it is so cute.

Helping his dad rewire a plug.

I painted and re-upholstered a chair. I love how it turned out

Ryker fell and split his lip open and scraped his chin. I was so sad.

Ryker unrolled almost two whole rolls of toilet paper
in under a minute flat at a hotel.

This is how Ryker prefers to watch his movies.

road rash

2009-05-10T22:45:00.000-06:00

We had our first crawling injury the other day. It was so sad. He sort of fell out of the house onto the front step. He scraped up the side of face pretty good. It was so sad. I am sure it is the first of many injuries to come.

where's that kids mom?

2009-05-10T22:36:00.001-06:00

I was cleaning out my car and Ryker was
having a blast playing with the steering wheel.
He looked like a little orphan kid with no parental
supervision. It was so funny.

Notice how when he is really concentrating out come the tongue!!

mother's day

2009-05-09T22:55:00.002-06:00

This year Mother's day is very special to me. I have been thinking back on those first few hours, and days that I was a mom. I have never been happier in my life. Every day I look at my sweet little boy and I am so thankful he is mine. I am so thankful I get to be his mom. I love being a mom. He has changed my life and I can't imagine life without him now. These are some of my favorite pictures of my little Ryker and me.

I also want to tell my mom Happy Mother's Day. I think you finally realize just how much you love your mom when you become one yourself. Thank you mom for all that you have done for me. Thank you for the wonderful example you have been. Thank you for sacrificing so much for me. Thank you for fighting my battles and for getting the fries!! I love you so much!!!

Ryker and I were able to visit with my friend Jill and her cute
little boy Kaden. Him and Ryker are only six weeks apart.
It was so fun to see them together.
Thanks for playing with us. We love you.

I had to start doing this.......

because my kitchen looks like this.....

way different from when we first bought it and it looked like this.

It is getting better. Some progress every day. Thanks Jesse.
I know someday we will have a kitchen.

popsicle baby

2009-04-30T23:35:00.000-06:00

I think we are getting more teeth. Ryker gets so excited when I feed
him a popsicle. I am sure they feel so good on his sore gums.
I have learned the best place for him to eat them
is in the tub!!
