2 week getaway

Ryder and I headed to St. George May 17th for Claytons cousins wedding. We had fun hanging out in the heat minus me being super sick all day Saturday :/ Congrats to Dustin and Courtney on their big day. Sunday we headed to Blanding with Marcia to stay for a week and a half. We enjoyed watching our nieces and nephews play softball and baseball, playing with cousins and friends all week and just hanging out. Clayt came down Thursday the 24th we were so excited to see him after a week. Friday we headed out to Elk Ridge to go camping for the weekend. It was just us and Trez Friday and Saturday were super windy so it was kind of miserable. Saturday we went for a drive to look for deer, elk and horns. We saw a lot of deer and Trez spotted a bear. If he wasn't with us we would of never of seen it. Clayt though he was full of crap backed up and there it was. It calmed down Saturday night but then it was freezing. Sunday evening we decided we were going to go in to town but would make our hobos first. Clayt's family ended up coming out right when we started so we finished dinner loaded up and went looking for Elk. After about an hour we finally saw 3. We headed back into town took baths and showers and went to bed. A bed never feels as good as it does after sleeping on the hard ground for 2 days lol. Monday we went to the shooting range to site in Clayts new gun and then had a bbq at Karen's house. Tuesday Clayt Ryder and I went out looking for horns but had no luck. Went back to town took and nap and then went and watched more baseball. Wednesday we finally decided to head home since Clayt had to be back to work Thursday. We had a fun little 2 weeks but I was ready to be home Ryder not so much he kept saying he wanted to stay in Blanding. But I'm pretty sure once we got home he was happy to be here too. Thanks for the fun 2 weeks everyone.
The bear







Ryder was cruising his dump truck everywhere and it was pitch black outside. He was way off in the bushes and he starts yelling we couldn't see him he all of a sudden comes running yelling "my trucks stuck trucks stuck" we asked what he was doing in the dark he says " Me driving looking for elk and horns" haha that made his dad proud.

Blanding

A few weekends ago we went to Blanding so I could help my mom with the Spring Expo selling her Scentsy.. Thanks to the people who bought from me.. Ryder hung out with papa ALL day and he loved every minute of it. Him and papa are buddies. Thanks papa.. Clayt went out shed hunting all weekend so I just hung out with my family the whole time. Ryder decided he wanted to stay in Blanding so Clayt and I headed home Sunday night and Ryder stayed in Blanding until last Thursday. Thanks Marcia, Stormy, Misty, Lisa and mom and my for keeping Ryder man. This boy sure loves Blanding and can't wait to move there

Ryder man

I haven't done a post on just Ryder in awhile and there are a few things he's doing now that I don't want to forget. This kid cracks us up the things he says and does everyday are so funny.

Ryder calls our spare room his garage and his bedroom his house. If you call is garage anything else he gets mad. Clayt had clothes in there on the bed the other day and he left the door open and Ryder came and yelled at him " dad close the gore to my garage" haha he's too funny.

He still loves his cars and trucks and has certain ones for certain people. He has this fancy sports car that he calls Crystal's van and I told him Crystal doesn't have her van anymore so he said " yeah Crystal big car" haha she got a new car and it's an SUV so he called it her "big" car.

He's obsessed with trailers and knows that we pull the Rhino on the trailer when we were getting ready to go to Blanding for Easter him and Clayt went to load up the trailer and he asked Ryder if we should take mom's car and he says "no moms car pull trailer too big drive dad's truck" he's smart when it comes to those kind of things the Rhino wouldn't start and so he ran to the hood and tried to pull it up and said "dad battery dead new one" he's a little obsessed :)

His OCD KILLS me a  OCD 2 1/2 year old  and an OCD mom don't mix very well. Everything he has has to go back where he got it from which is usually ok when it comes to cleaning but other things it drives me CRAZY!! He won't eat all of his food only half of everything, pop tarts have to be torn in half and he only eats a little bit same has cereal bars, cookies, donuts everything. WEIRDO!! He's still super picky and it drives his dad insane. He only eats hotdogs, sometimes ckn nuggets, dry cereal, pop tarts, cereal bars, granola bars, popcorn and any kind of snack pretty much. He's loving chocolate these days and always asks for it.

He still loves Mickey Mouse but I haven't been letting him watch it as much lately  and it's been so nice haha

He is just like his daddy in every way except for the OCD and picky eating part he gets that from me :)

He talks to himself all day when he's playing with his cars he as conversations with them yells and them it's so funny. He now puts is finger in a car that has the top off and drives it around as if they were people. He's such a cutie.

lately his new thing is he'll be looking for something and I'll tell him to go find it and he says he's busy. So this was the conversation the other day.
Ryder- Mom where me phone at?
Me- idk go find it.
Ryder- No me busy mom
Me- hahaha
Now he says this all the time "me busy"


 These next couple pictures he is playing with a gun he got from his friend Aspyn for Christmas and is grabbing Lilly's food and pretending they are his bullets. He will put them at the barrel and then throw them and make a shooting noise and pretend he shot a deer. His imagination is pretty funny.




His weird eating habbits
Making faces at mom.




He loves his buddy Hud.

Ryder man we love you and how much you grow everyday. Your such a sweet smart kid and are so happy you are a part of our lives.

Saturday Outing

Saturday we were just hanging out at home and I decided to get ready for the day and Ryder kept asking "mom where going?" I said I don't know where do you want to go? "Me go look for horns dad's truck" was his reply so dad was excited and they hurry and got dressed and we went out looking for horns. We didn't go look hard and we figured we wouldn't find any so Clayt brought a few of his and placed him in the field for Ryder to find. When he saw them he was shy but excited. He's so funny and just like his dad and I know Clayt loves it.




Mom and Ryder



Found 2 horns he was pretty excited








Easter Sunday

We got up early Sunday morning to see what the Easter bunny brought and so we could go to 9am church to listen to Denise and her family talk and my sister talk in RS. They all did such a great job and I'm so happy they are all in my life and what a great example they are to me. I'm thankful to be a member of The Church Of Jesus Christ Of latter Day Saints. I'm thankful for our Savior and for his sacrifice that we can live with him again.


The Easter bunny spoiled Ryder










That night we went to Karen's and ate dinner and played the card game 31 :)
