Blanding round 2

Clayt left to go back to West Virginia again August 5th so the boys and I packed up again and headed down to Blanding while he was gone.. This time we went to Cedar City for a few days to visit my friend that lives over there. Thanks Courtney for putting up with my crazy boys and I. Can't wait to do it again. This time in Blanding we weren't as busy as we were last time but time still went by pretty fast. Clayt only goes out one more time this year and 4 more times all together. Can't wait to be done.

 Eating at the donut shop in Cedar

 Range wasn't very mobile while we were here.. Him and Mia weren't sure what to think of each other.

 Courtney cut mine and Ryders hair while we were there.

I took Ryder's tee he got for his birthday since everyone there has yards.. Trez and Jeter set it up for him and he loved it. He did pretty good too. The ball shoots out at you and you have to hit it. I can't find the videos I recorded of him.. :/ I hope he sticks with it and will play ball.

 Ryder went out to the reservoir with grandma and papa to test out papas new boat.. Or his yat papa calls it ;)

 Range chillin at Aunt Karens checking out Easton

 We went swimming a few times again while we were there.

 Range and mom went the second time they took the boat out.

 papa Jeter and Ryder

 Ryder fishing with his new pole from Aunt Denise.

 It started to storm while we were out fishing and there was an amazing double rainbow.

 More swimming

 Trez is so good to play with Ryder when we got to the pool.. Ryder is his mini me.

 Ranger LOVES the pool

 Going to the movies with mom.

 Making muffins

 Ready for Collins baptisim

 Misty's dog Jinx got in trouble so she was cuddling on Ryder. It was so cute.

 Range pulled himself up for the first time in Blanding and hasn't stopped since ;)

 Ryder loved playing in the rain and with his new squirt gun Aunt Bridget got him

 haha and this is what happens when you don't buckle a mobile baby into his carseat :) Don't judge

 Ryder got his eyes checked while we were in Blanding.. Poor kid is so blind. He was so excited to pick out some glasses.

 He really wanted these green ones but I didn't like the frame and talked him out of it.

 So he settled for these ones... Isn't he so handsome?!

 I looked in the back while we were driving back home and I saw this. My mom took some pictures for me. I sure do love these boys. Ryder is so good to his little brother (most of the time) Ryder can always make Range laugh and it's so cute.

mmmm

8 months

Range man turned 8 months on Sunday.. Crazy how fast time flies by. He's starting to get in the fun stage. He's a lot happier during the days so he's more pleasant to be around ;) ha Range still doesn't sleep all the way through the night. We've been in Blanding for the last 2 weeks and he has slept like crap since we've been here. Hopefully he can get back on a good sleeping schedule at home. Range had his first tooth come through the weekend we got to Blanding and the one next to it is slowly making it's way. He has been working on these teeth for 3-4 months :/ Yesterday the 19th Range pulled himself up on a chair for the first time I was pretty excited about it :) Range LOVES his food and will pretty much eat anything. His favorites are squash, bananas, applesauce and carrots. I have given him some "real" foods and he's pretty much liked them all. BBQ pulled pork, muffins, pork chops, waffles, pancakes, fruit salads (the dressings lol), onions, cucumbers and I'm sure there are more. He's the fat kid and likes your left overs haha he doesn't get those rolls from nothing. Range is crawling everywhere now too. Well he does a hope skip crawl lol it's pretty funny. Sometimes he'll crawl normal but not very often lol We love you Ranger!!

 Just chillin on the couch at Aunt Karens checking out Easton.

 Going for a ride in papas fishing boat.. He hated the life jacket.

 Swimming in Blanding. He loves the water. Bath time and swimming are his favorite.

 Happy 8 months.. All ready for church :)

Thinking he's a big boy.

5 years

5 years ago on August 9th I married my best friend. I couldn't ask for a better husband partner and friend. We have been through quite a bit in our short 5 year marriage but it has made us stronger and love each other more. I sure do love Clayton and can't wait to spend many more years with him. Happy 5 years Clayt I love you! Thanks for all you do!!!
