Lately

We have been super busy lately and I finally have internet to blog about it :) I through my back out a couple weeks before Clayt left for training and was down for quite awhile and finally found out that I had a bulged disk along with a little bit of scoliosis. Lets say I don't think I've ever been in that much pain it sucks haha. I actually did it again shortly after we moved into our new house. (still recovering)

Clayt got back form training on Valentines Day so we didn't do too much since he was tired form the flights. We went to the hunting expo and then just went home and pretty much hung out at home all weekend. He did surprise me with a diamond rind and my birthstone. It's beautiful I love it.


Clayton left for training and came back February 14th, we bought a house and signed on the 21st. He took the week off and we moved in to our new place. We bought a cute 2 story house in Eagle Mountain. So far we are loving being in a neighborhood and have great neighbors and friends. The few we have met have welcomed us so good. There is a lot of kids and Ryder is in heaven. The boys love being able to go outside whenever they want and ride bikes and play with friends. We have a fenced backyard but no toys out there so Ryder always wants to be in the front where he can ride his bike. We have big plans for the back yard once Clayt is back from another training the end of April. The boys adjusted to the new house very well. Ryder was pretty excited about his new room and was happy to show it to anyone who came over. Range was excited when we put his crib up he'd been sleeping in a pack n play since we sold our condo. He would get so excited to go to bed the first couple of days. We still have a few things left to do before we are "fully" moved in haha Clayt says it's good but I don't ha. We still have a storage unit in Blanding that we haven't gotten stuff out of so we'll see how things go when we get that unpacked. I'm so happy to have our own place and a place to call home.

Both boys are growing up so fast and we are all enjoying life. Ryder is having problems with his eating so we are finally taking him in to see a therapist to see if he can get some help. Crossing our fingers she can help him and us. He's a little boy and needs some meat on him lol It's getting warmer and we've enjoyed a lot of outside time. We have a park just a couple of blocks away from our house that we have walked to a couple times.

Clayton has been with MSHA for a year and is almost done with his training. He is out now and goes out for the last time in June and he'll graduate while he's out there. He's been busy with work and everything that comes with a new house. He's hoping he can get a few shed hunting trips in this spring in between work and training.

Kyndra started working with a nanny agency a couple weeks ago and it has kept her pretty busy for the most part. She watches kids at night or on the weekends when Clayt is home. It's for families who mainly come to Park City for vacation and want a night out with no kids. She's enjoying it so far.

 Excited to pick dad up at the airport.

 My pretty ring :)

 Had a lot of fun at our friend Huds birthday party.

 Celebrated my 25th birthday.. Ryder got me this flower basket and card he was pretty proud that he picked them out all by himself.

 Tried to bribe Ryder with a new dusty airplane to eat some new foods. He tried a PB sandwich.

 It's always fun to wrestle with dad.

 Lilly loves the new house too. She'll go out in the back and lay in the sun for hours.

 Fun at the park with cousins.

 My front flower bed has turned into the neighborhood sand box ha

15 months

Range is growing so fast it's crazy.. We sure do love this busy monster. Range still only says a couple words. Mama, Lilly, Puppy, hi, hello, mmm (food) and bye bye. He loves to wrestle with his dad and brother. He gets super jealous if I hold anyone but him. Better not have another kid anytime soon lol He is a little dude he weighs 21lbs 11oz 33% and is 39.25" tall 25%. He looks really chubby but it's only cause he's so short lol He LOVES food anytime anyone has some he comes begging he's the worst beggar, its annoying sometimes haha Range has a mouth full of teeth and about 5 trying to come in right now.  3 front top teeth with 2 trying to come in and he has his molars on top and bottom, and 4 bottom front teeth with 2 or 3 trying to come in by them. He's finally starting to take naps again not very good ones but one one hour nap is better then nothing. He still hates car rides that dang car seat haha he's so pleasant to be around in the car ;) He is obsessed with the dang binky, he loves his blankets and sippy too. He loves to be outside running around. His new favorite is to run in the road and run away and laugh at mom as she chases him. He's a little stinker. He says woowee (sp) whenever he poops in his diaper it's so cute.

 Pretty excited he climbed down the stairs.

14 months

Range is a busy busy boy, he is always on the go. He still loves food and will eat almost anything we give him. He has finally learned how to go down the stairs but will only go down forwards. He LOVES to play outside but thinks he's big and can do everything his brother does. He's tried to avoid naps and it's driving me crazy. This boy needs at least one nap or he's a complete beast. Range can say a few words a few of his favorites are mama, Lilly, mmm (food) and hi. He love talking on the phone he'll walk around yelling hi, hello it's so cute. He loves his puppy and will follow her and try to give her loves all day long. He says her name in a high pitched voice it's so funny. Clayt is not very happy that he said Lilly before his name haha. He used to say dad but he hasn't for a few months now and laughs anytime we tell him to say it. Range goes to bed around 8pm and wakes up anywhere from 7:30-8:30. I'm so glad he finally sleeps through the night. We love you Ranger.

 First time eating spaghetti
