Zoo

A couple of weeks ago Ryder and I went to the Zoo with Lisa and her family. We took Ryder there when he was about 15 months old and he liked it but he was a little more into it this time but he got bored of it after awhile too. We had a good time though thanks for the invite guys.

(Pictures were taken with my phone so not the best)

Easter Morning

The Easter bunny came and saw Ryder this year and new exactly what he wanted. He definitely got treated well minus the Sunday clothes what the heck haha slacker!!!

Ryder has a love hate relationship with the vacuum so the Easter bunny brought him one of his own he loves it until you turn it on haha pansy

lots of bubbles :)

Easter weekend

This year we decided to stay home for Easter first time I haven't been in Blanding and first time with no fourwheelers for me on Easter it was a little weird. (the Rhino is tore apart at Coles so we didn't bring it plus we're the only ones with one so so wouldn't be much fun) Anyways my parents and Misty and her boys came up and spend the weekend with us. Friday we spent all day shopping it was so much fun but we were wore out by the end of the day. Saturday we went out on the "mountains" behind our house and had a Easter egg hunt, lunch and shot guns. It was a little chilly but it was nice to get out. That evening we had a bbq at Crystals and played Apples to Apples. It was a fun tiring weekend thanks for the fun everyone!!

WARNING LOTS of pictures :)

Shooting

Yesterday we went out to the hills behind our house and went shooting since it was a nice day we had so much fun. Ryder shot his dad's first 22 pump action he got when he was a little boy and is now handing down to Ryder :) he loved it he was so cute and very impatient for dad to caulk it so he could pull the trigger lol we went on a little walk too it was nice to get out and hand out as a family I love weekends that Clayt doesn't have to work :)

Love his face in this picture :)

My cute boys

There were a ton of shot gun shells around and Ryder thought he needed to collect some ;)

18 years really?

I can't believe it has been 18 years today since my dad was killed in a car accident. I love/hate this day it's a day of sadness and happiness I'm glad I can look back and think of the time I did have with my dad even though it was for 4 years. I also get to hear what a great guy my dad was people come out and tell so many awesome stories that I never knew about my dad and I love it it makes me feel like I knew him better then I did. I'm so thankful that we have the gospel in our lives and are an Eternal family and that I know I will get to see my dad again some day and I CAN'T wait for that day to come. We love and miss you dad can't wait to see you again!

I didn't have any pictures with my dad well only 3 but no family pictures with him so my sister cropped me in this one :) Love it!

Ryder man turned 20 months March 27th CRAZY!! I can't believe we almost have a 2 year old!! :( Ryder is getting such a personality and gets so excited when he sees new things he's so funny. He has a love hate relationship with the vacuum and the washer haha it's cute and funny. He is a pretty good boy he loves ppl and attention last weekend we spent 2 nights going to sportsmans banquets and he did AWESOME never even cried he loved them 2 really late nights and was a good boy! He does have tantrums though throws himself on the floor and screams it's hard not too laugh lol we have been doing time outs though because he his horrible at hitting dang kid. We can't get enough of him cracks us up. He has about 10 teeth ha I think he has been a good teather I'm so thankful.
