Thanksgiving

This year for Thanksgiving it was with my family so since my sister Crystal was having her baby the Monday after Thanksgiving my parents and Stormy and her family and Misty and her family came up. We were going to eat at the Clubhouse at my complex but it wasn't until later so we just decided to eat at Crystals and then we went to the Clubhouse later and played games. We had a lot of fun the kids had a good time playing with each other. Around 9 that night we went to Walmart and got ready to get our Black Friday shopping done. This was Misty and Stormy's first time and they say never again haha they would rather pay the full price then fight those crowds haha Clayt was a trooper and went for the first hour with us to walmart but then went home after we decided to go to other stores. We had so much fun and it was fun to be with everyone.

South Dakota

Last weekend Clayton went to South Dakota to go pheasant hunting. His boss invited him to go so him and a few other workers went over there hunting. He said he had a lot of fun. He didn't take a camera so he gave me pictures from his phone..

Halloween

This year for Halloween we were up here. We went to Crystal's and made mini pizzas and then walked around her neighborhood. Ryder wasn't having anything to do with his costume and I knew he wouldn't with his OCD issues this kid drives me crazy ha anyways Clayton talked him into putting his suit on and then has we were walking I put his frog feet on but he would have nothing to do with his hat. He loved the trick or treating part though. He never would say it but he would tell them thank you every time. He would get handfuls of candy and everyone kept saying he's so cute especially when he didn't care about the candy but the "jeep" or "big truck" in their driveway haha this boy is a little obsessed.. When we would come to a house with creepy people or decorations like the scary house with the creepy chucky haha Ryder would say ohh spooky lol didn't even know he knew that word lo he wasn't scared just always said spooky! We had fun even though he wouldn't wear his whole costume oh well maybe next year!

Trying to put his hat on

Freaking out about his feet

This is what he should of looked like!

Blanding

The week before Halloween we decided to head to Blanding. Ryder went down Sunday with Marcia and lisa and I went down Wed. morning and Clayt rode down with Jon Thursday night ha.. Clayt took Courtney and Devin hunting and I hung out with my sisters. Visited, crafted, got a pedi, went to the football game, hung out with a friend and lunch, visited with grandparents and much more. We are defiantly busy when we go Blanding I told Clayt I need 5 days down there and it still wasn't enough it's hard to do and fit everything in when both of your families live there and they are both big. Sorry to the ones we didn't get to see we will see you at Christmas!!

Ryder LOVED baby Chezney he wouldn't let her go he wanted to take her outside and everything lo hopefully he like our baby whenever we have one!

Jason Aldean

Back in October my 2 sisters and I went to Jason Aldean's concert at the Mavrick Center. It was a blast we had so much fun and he knows how to put on a show not to mention he is a good looking cowboy lol. After the concert we were walking to my car and these kids come up to Crystal and were like you hit my car and she just ignored them and got into my car and they realized it wasn't us. We sat there awhile and the guy that hit them came and they confronted him and he got mad and started yelling and swearing I can to get the cops Kara stepped in to stop the fight haha. To make a long story short a truck hit a new camaro in the front bumper almost hit my car twice started chasing a girl he got tackled by the cops and we had to fill out police reports haha all in all it was a fun night. Thanks sisters!!

After the concert!!

Lately

It's been awhile since I last updated I guess that's what happens when you still don't have Internet!! A few things have gone on since my last update. Farewell in Nevada, camping, Clayt got a deer, crafted with a new friend and Ryder is getting so big and smart. But this is mostly updates on Ryder for me to remember :)

Things about Ryder I want to remember...

Really good at saying thank you.. working on the please still

LOVES his daddy

Isn't scared of the vacuum anymore he gets his and follows behind me lol so cute

When I tell him I love him he says no "daddy loves you" or just giggles when anyone tells him that

He is still obsessed with Kylors truck, dads truck, Mom's car (even though it's still the red one to him), Bridgets car, papa's truck and grandmas car.

He loves cars and trucks and gets excited when any commercial comes on the TV he has to yell "Truck mom truck"

This boy is a clean freak I think he's worse then me Clayt always gets mad and says it's your fault lol... His trucks and cars still have to be lined up perfect, he hates when anything is a mess he says "mess mom wash it" Clayts truck is really dirty these days (surprise surprise) and Ryder all day says " mom dad's truck mess wash it mom" haha he's so funny oh and lately I've caught him spitting on his trucks I asked him what he was doing and he said "wash it mess" oh boy!!!!

Ryder can say so many words and surprises me everyday with new ones..

Outside, last night, milk, cereal, fish, quiet but with an f ha, I yell at Lilly to shut up and he says show up Lilly oops better work on that one... Brynna is a new favorite he loves that girl. A new friend I've been hanging out with is also his new favorite girl he loves Courtney :), he also loves his buddy Huddy :) snacks is a everyday word, wash it, mess, dirty, bed, Ryder's bedroom, bird, cow, elk, deer, scooter, bike, park, lock it, keys, stroller, Ryder's house, Blanding, papa Bruce, Jesus, Temple, Church, kids, watch mama and many many more...

Animal sounds he can make are really only bird "tweet tweet" and cow "moo cow moo cow" he knows the animals just not many sounds!

He will sometimes tell you how old he is but you really have to catch him in a good mood.

We are working on colors and he's pretty good at blue and yellow.

A few of my favorites he says to me are "help mama" when he needs help with something, "No more mama" when everything is gone and "tank you mama" My ALL time fave it's so cute and makes me so happy and when you say his name he replies with "WHAT" or "what mama" haha

He LOVES Mickey Mouse Clubhouse, trains are a new fave it's hard to get him away from those.

Ryder is now bottle FREE AGAIN ha and is back to sleeping in his own bed not with mom and dad. We put his Jammie's on and he'll run to his bed jump in we go in and give him hugs and kisses and he's out :) oh how I don't dread the nights anymore :)

He loves to go camping and be outside I wish we could do it more guess that's just part of city life but oh well we still get out :) He doesn't mind being dirty when he's camping but if we're inside he freaks... Soooo weird!!

Lots of updates of Ryder man but it's for my journal purposes since I do print my blog into books. :)
