Hee Haw Farms

Last Friday Crystal, Brynna, Kara, Thomas, Ethan, Ryder and I all went to Hee Haw Farms. It wasn't what I though it would be I didn't think Ryder would enjoy it but he loved it. He rode the ponies and cried when he had to get off, he loved the petting farm, like riding the barrel animals that were pulled by the 4wheeler and he loved the freedom he had of walking around everywhere he was so cute too. Here are a few pics from our fun day.

STAHM

I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with my Ryder man. I'm so thankful for the hard working husband I have that supports us. We might have to sacrifice a little bit more but that is ok since I get to spend all day with my little boy and watch him grow and learn new things every day. There are times I need a break and he drives me crazy but I still love that I am home with him and wouldn't trade it for anything. I really hope I never have to go back to work so I can be home with all my kids when I have more then just Ryder lol Ryder and I have so much fun during the days he is so funny and has the curtest little personality I love it. Here are a few pictures of our fun from the last few weeks. I love you Ryder man and am so glad I get to be home with you and thank you so much Clayton for making that possible for us I love you.

Zoo Time

Monday afternoon we decided to take Ryder to the zoo for his first time. Clayt didn't go to work since he got home early that morn from hunting and it was a cloudy rainy day so I figured it was a great day to go. Ryder loved it he was so cute when he saw all the animals. The face he made was my favorite we just laughed at him. The bears and zebras and a few other animals were gone because they are remodeling it I guess is what you would call it. When we were getting ready to leave the last stop we made was the park and when you leave you have to walk across the train tracks we were letting Ryder walk by himself and he made it over the first track and kinda tripped over it and couldn't get back up finally he made it up and he got to the next track and started freaking out he would not walk over it he would put his foot by it then scream and step back he did it over and over and Clayt and I were just laughing so finally Clayt helped him over and then put him down he looks back at it laughs and then runs off it was the funniest and cutest thing ever. Since it was a stormy day and we got there a few hrs before closing time there was hardly anyone there it was so nice. We had fun and will prob go back again a few times.

14 months

Ryder man is 14 months today. Where as the time gone?! He is growing up so fast he is getting bigger and bigger everyday and discovering and learning new things every second. Ryder is now walking and has been walking for 3 or 4 weeks now he hardly crawls anywhere anymore. I sure do miss that stink bug crawl :( He loves cell phones he has an old one of mine that he plays with and he will walk around the house with it up to his ear jabbering away it's so cute. He now has 6 teeth 2 bottom and 4 top I can't wait until the teething stage is done lol all though I'm pretty sure he has done way good compared to some babies who teeth. He loves his daddy and gets so excited when he walks in the door from work. ( I'm pretty sure that's Clayts highlight of the day :) He loves his trucks and loves to make truck noises he's so good at it but makes a big slobber mess lol He sometimes will cuddle and give you slobbery or tongue kisses ;) His new obsession is lids he loves putting lids on things but gets frustrated when he can't get it off. He is very vocal and isn't shy about when and where to use it at lol He still only says mama and dada he can kind of tell you where is nose and mouth is but he really has to be in the mood. (we're still working on that) He still LOVES his bottle and blanket. Ryder is a pretty good sleeper and is deff. one who needs his sleep. He usually goes to bed around 8-8:30 and doesn't get up until 9-9:30 sometimes he wakes up at 5 or 7 but goes back to sleep with his bottle :) He is down to one nap a day usually goes down around 1 or 2 and sleeps until 3 or 4:30 but lately he has been a little grumpy and tired around 11 so has been taking naps from 11:30-2 witch screws up his sleeping pattern and is really grumpy by 6pm and it's so hard to keep him up until 8. He is starting to pucker his lips and wooing (sp) like an owl it's so cute. I started doing that when I was about 8 months old and that's how I got my nickname Hooter aka Hoot from my dad. It's so cute seeing Ryder do it too. Clayt always says is it normal or just in your jeans and do we have a mini Hooter?! lol he loves to make fun of us.
Ryder is so much fun we love his little personality and the attitude of a one year old. We're so thankful for out little miracle and the joy he brings into our lives.

(I do this blog for my journal purpose that's why I go so detail :)
