It was a long journey but we made it and are so excited.

So that was my birthday thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone :)

7 months

I can't believe my baby is already 7 months. Ryder turned 7 months on Feb. 27. He is growing so fast and getting sooo big it makes me sad. I can't believe he started out so small and now is a monster. You would never know he was a preemie if you didn't know him. Ryder can now sit up by himself sometimes a little wobbly, he likes oatmeal better then the rice, he can finally roll from his back to his belly and quit rolling from his belly to back so gets mad when he rolls onto his belly cause he gets stuck lol. He weighs 17 lbs and is prob about 26 inches or so now. We are so grateful for our little boy he is such a blessing to us.

Ryder's favorite place to sleep

Sitting all by himself

Going to church

Eating oatmeal

Valentines

So this post is a little late but that's what happens when you don't have the internet :) so anyways this year for Valentines our first time to spend it together married because last year I went to Cali with Kara. We did a lot this year and no pictures :( my parents came up here Wed night and Thursday day all if us girls went shopping and then out to lunch it was a lot of fun. That night Crystal, Tad, Kara Eric my mom and My and Clayt and I all went to dinner at Rodizios. I always eat soo much when we eat there and man I pay for it after wards lol but I guess you have to get your moneys worth when you eat there :) Friday night my parents watched Ryder for Clayt and I so we could go out by ourselves. Clayt took me to the movie and we went to Valentines Day ha yes I talked Clayt into taking me to a chick flick :) the first time since we've been together lol it was a pretty good movie but really long. Thanks mom and My for watching Ryder for us and thanks for taking me to the movie babe. Saturday we went and test drove a hummer lol and then went to the hunting expo. After there we went to the Gateway and Clayt bought me some clothes and then we went to Orem and met up with Davey, Jax, Madax, Trez and Kylor we went to the mall and ate dinner there because we didn't feel like waiting to eat at a sit down place lol after we ate Clayt took me shopping some more I got spoiled this Valentines. Thanks for all the cute clothes babe I love you. So that was our Valentines weekend. Thanks for a fun time everyone :)

The joy of babies

The other day we were just hanging out watching tv and all of a sudden smelled poop lol so I look at Ryder and he's just smiling and so I decided we better change his bum. So as I'm taking his clothes off my hand are getting wet and I was like dude you sweat so bad come to find out he had pooped all the way up his diaper. Poor boy lol but man it was so gross Clayt was freaking out he kept saying I'm gonna throw up Ryder this is gross it was so funny. So we got him undressed and put him in our shower and hosed him off haha it was the funniest thing we were laughing so hard but Ryder didn't think it was that funny he kept getting mad. So here are pictures of our gross boy enjoy haha ;)

Just Us

Well not much has been going on at our house but just thought I would give a little update. The last 2 weeks I have been working full time but now I am back to just the part time. It was nice to be out of my house all day for awhile. I'm thankful for the job I have so that I can take Ryder with me and still watch him grow and I'm tankful for Clayton and all his hard work he does for me to be able to only work the hours I do. Love you babe thanks for everything you do for us. This last weekend we had a birthday party for Brynna and Ethan they were born 2 days apart and just turned 2. They were so cute Ethan loved his cake and chowed it but Brynna wasn't quite sure about hers just like last year lol.. That night I started feeling really sick my body hurt my throat and my head. I went home and took a bath and just hung out in bed. Sunday I felt a little better but Clayt watched Ryder for me so I could rest all day. Monday I felt really good until that night my throat started hurting again really bad so today I decided I better go to the Dr. I took me and Ryder in because he has been coughing AGAIN really bad well I tested positive for strep and Ryder had white stuff on his throat but tested negative. He gave us both prescriptions so I hope that they help us. Crystal took Ryder for me today so I could rest. Thank you so much Crystal. I slept for a couple of hours but still don't feel the best. (Should be sleeping now lol) I have never had strep and it sucks lol So we aren't the healthiest right now but other then that we are doing good and Clayt is still staying busy with work. We all just can't wait for summer to be here so we don't have to be stuck in the house all day. Here are a few pictures from the last few weeks.

This is the family I used to nanny for before Ryder was born.
