Family Pictures

On Sunday we went up a canyon and Jackie took a few family pictures for us. Here are a few that she has edited for us. Thanks so much Jackie they turned out great.

It's been awhile

My smiley boy

I loved the hat on him but he hated it lol

It's been awhile since I have updated our blog. We are all doing great. Ryder is growing so fast we say everyday look how big he is getting he has doubled his birth size and looks huge to us. We are settled in our new condo and love it. It's a great starter home we are happy to just have our own place. We have had the grandmas and grandpa up here a few times since the last time and they spoil Ryder too much so now he thinks he always needs to be held and it drives me crazy lol.

I am still working with the older kids nannying and Ryder goes with me. It gives us a out of the house time for a few hours a day so it's nice. Clayton is working like crazy too. He is such a hard worker and I'm so thankful for him and all that he does for Ryder and I.

We got family pictures and Ryder's new born pictures done a few weeks ago and I can't wait to see what they turn out like. We also went out again yesterday and got more pictures that Jackie took for us this time. Thanks Jackie and thanks babe for taking more pictures for me :)

We are doing great and loving little Ryder more and more every day. Ryder still hasn't met all of his aunts and uncles or cousins so we are trying to make it down to Blanding as soon as we can. I attempted to go last week but turned around in Price and headed back home because the Swine Flu was going around so Clayt and I decided it would prob be best if I just stayed home since Ryder can get it so easy. I was so sad it's been a long time since we have been down there and I really miss my sisters and nieces and nephews. Miss you too mom and My but I have seen you more then them lately :) lol so anyways we are trying to come down the weekend of Halloween so Clayton can go hunting. Hopefully all goes well where we can go down.

2 month check up

Ryder had his 2 month check up today and he is doing awesome. He is now 8lbs 8oz almost 1lbs bigger then his apt 2 weeks ago and he is 20 inches long. He is above 50% in everything so he is growing so good. He had to get the yucky 2 month shots too and he hated them poor little guy I felt so bad. Well he is growing like he should be and is getting so big to us. Everyone tells me he looks just like daddy so I guess he must be pretty dang cute ;) We are so thankful for our little miracle and what a strong healthy boy he is. We love you Ryder man.

Grandmas Visit

Ryder and Grandma Johnson

Ryder and Grandma Munson

We didn't get a picture of Ryder and Grandpa Munson why he was here.

The week Ryder came home Marcia came up and stayed with us for a week and helped with Ryder and with the condo. We really appreciated her help it meant a lot to us. We couldn't of gotten the condo painted and ready for carpet without her. Ryder loved having grandma here to spoil him too he loves when grandmas are here cause they hold him all the time lol.. Thanks so much for all your help Marcia.

The week after Marcia left my mom came up and spent another week with us. Milan had came up and laid carpet for us in the middle of the week and then helped us move in. Thanks Miley for all your help and for coming up and laying our carpet. So my mom came up a few days later and helped us out with Ryder and with getting the condo all unpacked. It took us a few days but we got it all done finally. My mom would take Ryder for me every morning for his 6:00am feeding it was so nice. Thanks mom. I really enjoyed both grandmas being here to help us out and grandpa we love you guys and thanks a ton.

Wow I can't believe Ryder is 2 months old already it has gone by so fast. Little Ryder has been home with us for 4 weeks now and we love it we are so happy to have him home with us. He is doing awesome and is so healthy. Some things Ryder is doing at 2 months..

More awake and alert
Still loves to be held
Dad's best bud
Eating a ton
Thinks he is so strong

He isn't doing too much but he is still fun and we love him so much and couldn't ask for a healthier cuter baby.

My sweet little boy..2 months old and still in preemie clothes lol

So cute

Silly boy

Alright so I'm not the best at updating my blog anymore but it has been crazy busy around our house. Milan came up last week to put in new carpet for us and then he helped us move in. We weren't planning on moving in till the end of the month but he was here and willing to help so we packed and moved everything in 1 day it was crazy. I finally just barely got everything put away and cleaned up today thanks to the my mom who came up last Friday to help me and is here until Saturday. So we are all moved in and settled it's so nice to have our own place and call it home I love it. It may not be a house house but it's a great starter.

Ryder is growing like crazy last week at his Dr apt he weighed 7lbs 9oz he's getting so big. I know that isn't very big to most people but it's big to us lol.. He is getting chubby he has cute chubby cheeks and getting a double chin.

Little bit about Ryder:
Loves to be held (so spoiled already)
Loves baths
Loves his swing
He can roll from one side to the other
He loves to lift his head he thinks he's so strong already
All in all he's doing awesome and is so dang cute and we are so happy he's growing strong and is as healthy as he is.

Bringing baby home/Home Owners

Cousins first time seeing Ryder and they loved him

Mom and dad's sweet boy

Last day at the hospital

Monday Sept 7 little Ryder finally got to come home. We weren't expecting him to come home until Tuesday so we had a lot planned for Monday and then they called and asked if we were ready to take our baby home so we said yes and went and picked him up. Ryder was 6lbs 13 oz when he left the hospital and his blood count was still low at 21 but he was breathing great. When he came home we just loved on him and was so happy to have our baby home with us. It was a long 6 weeks.

Tuesday we signed for our condo. We are officially home owners yay :) it was a crazy day so many papers to sign and just bringing little Ryder home but we enjoyed it. Clayton's mom came up Sunday to help out with Ryder so she watched him why we went and signed papers. We are so glad that the condo finally went through and it is now ours.

Wednesday Ryder had his first checkup with his pediatrician Dr. David Johnson. We really liked him he was really nice and good to us and Ryder. Ryder weighed 7lbs 2oz at the apt. He's growing so fast. He is huge to us but soo tiny to everyone else who sees him. He gets circumcised next Thursday poor boy lol Clayt said that thing needs to get fixed soon haha

So this last week has been a crazy week sorry for such a late update. Having Ryder home and painting the condo and getting it ready for new carpet takes a lot of time. We have been so busy but have enjoyed every minute of it. I love my amazing little family they are so awesome I couldn't ask for anyone better.

I would like to thank Marcia for all her wonderful help she gave to us. Helping with painting and watching Ryder when we needed her to and for helping around my house now. Also thanks to Crystal for watching Ryder while we all 3 painted it helped us out a ton. Thank you guys we appreciate it so much we love you.
