CAN'T BELIEVE HE'S ONE

HaPPy 1st BIrthdAy RYLER

I can't believe that he is already one years old. Where did the time go. His birthday was yesterday February 22 and the whole day I just kept remembering a year ago and all that was happening that day. Then I just remembering holding him for the first time and how I never wanted to let him go. It was awesome now he is getting so big. Almost walking, eating real yummy food, playing with all his toys, laughing all the time, scooting around and just being a good boy. I love him so much. This is a life. I love being a mom and glad he chose me! HAPPY BIRTHDAY RYLER !!! I have more pictures of him at his party later so stay tuned in a few days!

Christmas Story

So this is probably the longest post of pictures in blog history but it was the holidays and a ton has been going on. As you can see in the pictures below we had a lot of fun During the holidays we went sledding, looking at lights which Ryler loved and lots of good food. I love Christmas and I can't believe it is already over. Christmas eve we just spent time with each other we watched Its a wonderful life and we usually watch the Grinch my personal favorite but everyone fell asleep so we ended up going to bed so Santa could come. For Christmas I got the new Mario Wii game which I love it is like the only game I could play for hours. We also got Band Hero, clothes, Shop Vac, table and chairs, few board games and a magic bullet which I can't to use, and a few other little things. Ryler got tons of toys we went a little overboard but what do you expect for your first kids first Christmas. We also had a good new years. We didn't do much Sean and I made little snacks like chicken wings, pizza rolls, mozzerella sticks, and welches sparkling grape juice. We did sparklers for Ryler and it was perfect I even woke up 15 minutes before the ball dropped. We had an awesome Holiday season. I'm even more excited for next year already. Hope you all had a good one too! Enjoy the pictures.
HAPPY NEW YEAR!

My dad gave my mom this family picture for Christmas it came in a beautiful frame and it was a perfect family picture it couldn't have turned out any better. It was one of the hightlights of Christmas Plus we got to talk to my brother Shaun who is on his mission and that was so fun. He is doing soooooo good. We did miss him a lot on Christmas though.

This was Adries Christmas present but Ryler sure loved it. He is only 10 months and he was riding this all by himself. He is getting so big. It was so cute.
Alyse got her a snuggie


SLEDDING UP THE POWER PLANT.

I LOVE this picture this is how excited we were for Christmas!
Our beautiful Christmas tree I miss it. It was a real tree and it was the prettiest one we have had ever.

Our Friends Brian and Whitney

This was Rylers first Snow storm he was so cold but
didn't want to come in he loved it so much.
The Festival of Lights with The Vorwallers.
Sean, Ryler, Brandon, and Whitney had never
been to anything like this before so it was fun taking them.

The new job

I also have to show off my very authoritative husband. He just started refereeing high school basketball. He loves it. He has to ref a JV game tonight and excited and nervous. He is a really good ref I have gone to watch him and I Think he could ref for the Jazz!!!!!

Early Christmas

So this is my Christmas present this year. It just so happens that our first payment is due on Christmas. Isn't that lucky for us..........NOT. I love new cars I just hate paying for them but we are really excited and we love it so far. We are getting so excited for Christmas this year

The Halloween trip

For our Halloween we spent it in Virginia. We were there for a few days with Seans family. Even Katrina flew out for a surprise visit with us. We did lots of fun things while we were there. We of course had a good Halloween as you can see Ryler was a spooky skeleton. We took him trick or treating but he didn't like it too much. He was already tired from the time change but Sean and I did get a few pieces of candy YUM! I dressed up in my last minute costume I didn't get a picture but I fluffed my hair really big and went as the UTAH POOF. Cause supposidly everyone in UT rats there hair big. Ryler did pretty good on the plane considering that he was teething and airplane rides or any kind of traveling is always stessful with kids. There is so much more stuff to pack and drag along. While we were there in Virginia we went to a place called Carters Mountain. It's a place where you go to pick apples. They have really good apple cider, very tasty apple donuts, and amazing views of all the leaves. We also went to the theme park Busch gardens it is such a fun place. They have the best roller coasters. The whole park was like a spook alley everyone was dressed up and they had the whole place decorated and they have the cutest shows to watch it was so fun to go there around Halloween time. It was also Seans birthday on November 1st so Happy Birthday to him. I love him so much and am so thankful for him. He always does so much for me. We watched the Yankees with Ben and glad we got to see him and we also got to make it to one of Seans brother Brandons football games. So as you can see we had a lot of things planned and had a great time. Here are a few pictures that I got before my camera died on the trip. Hope Y'all enjoy them!




TEETH YIKES

Happy half birthday Ryler. I can't believe it has
already been 6 months. Time flies! He also learned
How to sit up by himself. Which I love now I actually
have both my hands back. Well some of the time.
He is so smart and very happy just stay away when he is hungry
and tired. We love having him be part of our family.
