front room

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

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.
Happy {11 months} sweet little bug

kitchen cabinets

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.

I have a dining room

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.

Ryker's buddies

this is ryker and his buddy addi. they are only 5 days apart.
it was so fun to have them play together. they were so cute




mayzee, addi, ryker, ashton

of zyanne.
thanks for playing!!

kitchen update

we have drywall

and a cupboard with a place for ryker to play

road rash

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?

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!!
