Cornbelly's

Friday we went to Cornbelly's Corn maze with Crystal.It was super busy but we still managed to enjoy ourselves. Ryder was in heaven he loves that place (actually going back tomorrow) We did happen to lose him there Friday though. Seriously the worst feeling a mom can have. He was playing on the wood train and we weren't far from it and kept watching him. I hadn't seen him come out of it for awhile so I walked over there and he wasn't there. I was panicking how was I going to find my little boy in this big place with ALL these people?! Clayt and I split up and started searching and Crystal went and told a worker. We were maybe looking for 5 minutes (felt like FOREVER) when I heard over the intercom for someone to come get their little girl from the information booth so I decided to walk over there to see if he was there. He was thank goodness. He was sitting with a lady and I called his name and he started crying. She called on her radio that I came for him and asked who I was and I told her. I was so relieved that he was in there. I asked him what happened and he said he fell and was crying so a lady picked him up and took him to the workers. This isn't the first time this is happened with him and the feeling of fear doesn't go away. We left shortly after we had found him because it was getting cold and Range was getting grumpy. We ended up being there for almost 3 hours. After we went and ate at Artic Circle with Crystal and her fam and let the kids get some more energy out. Ryder ended up going with Crystal to have a sleepover. Thanks for the fun day Crys.







 The boy behind Ryder was giving him bunny ears but my camera took the picture too late lol

Warming up by the fire.

10 Months

Little Range turned 10 month on the 18th. Seriously where is the time going? I can't believe I'll have a 1 year old in a few short months. Honestly I'm not ready for the terrorizing 1 year old lol a little about the Range man.

*He has 3 teeth 2 bottom and 1 on the top

*He loves food. He usually will eat whatever we eat but I still give him baby cereal with it most of the time. He will eat almost everything. One thing he doesn't like still is potatoes.

*He LOVES his brother. We're always up before Ryder but as soon as he comes down the stairs Range gets so excited. Starts laughing and clapping.

*He just started clapping while we were in Blanding for the Elk hunt. If you say yay Range he gets excited and claps his hands.

*He stands up by himself ALL the time. He has actually taken 2 steps with no help :)

*Range is super naughty. We don't have many decorations in this house but the few things we have out Range is ALWAYS getting into. He will find a way to get into everything. He LOVES the cupboards.

*He jabbers ALL the time now it's so cute and in the car he sings/hums himself to sleep

*He is obsessed with the stairs and climbing up into our dining room. But he has no idea how to get down so he will just sit there and cry/whine until someone helps him down.

Spike tag

Since the Government decided to shut down Clayton got furloughed. So he decided it was a good time to buy a spike tag and head to Blanding again for some more hunting. Why not it's a paid vacation without using vacation days he said haha we headed to Blanding Friday the week of the shutdown and ended up staying until the next Sunday. We camped with my sister the first night and hung out and hunted with her the first and second day. Thanks to my mom and Denise for keeping Range for us. Ryder was in heaven the whole time we were out on the mountain. Sunday morning we went into town for awhile to do a few things and to take Range to my moms. Clayt told Ryder he could stay on the mountain with Kara so when we were getting ready to leave I was teasing Ryder and told him to get his trucks so we could go he turns around with this super pouty lip I couldn't help but start laughing and walked up to him and picked him, he just lost it and started sobbing about how he wanted to stay. I told him he could stay and that I was teasing. I seriously couldn't stop laughing I wish I had a picture of his face. We had a fun filled week in Blanding. Clayt hunted most of the time. It was the High Schools homecoming week so I went to a lot of the activities for that. Mr. San Juan Monday was a blast my nephew Easton got 1st attendant. Volleyball games Tuesday a dinner Thursday and the parade, teddy bear clinic and football game Friday. We had a lot of fun. Saturday we started the morning off watching 2 of our little nephews play football and then headed back up to the mountain.Clayts mom went with us this time so we just made it a little family trip ;) pretty sure Clayt was thrilled to take us all hunting haha
We didn't see or get anything while we were there but we still had a fun time. Seeing the beautiful mountain and just spending time with family was a lot of fun. We decided to head back home Sunday in hopes the Government would open back up sometime during the week. Which it did today (Thursday the 17th) not sure any of us were ready for it. Ryder sure has enjoyed dad time the last 3 weeks. He leaves for training Monday for 3 weeks too. Might be a rough 3 weeks for mom ;)





 Always has to pee when dad does and has to have his pants down to his ankles lol

 Mr. San Juan dance.. For those who don't know Mr San Juan is for the boys. They do a skit and then are interviewed. It's pretty dang funny. There are 4 judges who don't know the kids that vote for the winner.
