We of course spent fathers day up camping.
let me just get a little mushy on ya for a sec. I defiantly thought i was topped out of love for this guy when i married him but then we had a child together and i got to see him be a daddy! wow. it has been our favorite thing, raising a family together. he does so much to support our family and i'm so happy he is ours forever. such a hard worker, compassionate, always willing to help me out with ryder. i love their love. their bond is so tight and i cant wait to see it grow with our little girl this october. 
we love you daddy.
xoxo
happy fathers day to the best daddy!

ryder is 18 months

Our Ry Bug is 18 months old now! a year and a half!!
Let me tell you a little bit about this little man of ours. There are some days where i wanna cry and just take a time out myself because he continues to pull out my pots and pans and then proceed to throw them at Diesel and die laughing because he thinks it hilarious, or he chucks his watermelon at my head or he decides he wants to take of his diaper for the 60th time and pee on my carpet. he defiantly continues to keep me on my pregnant toes. but then there are days where he will just silently walk up to me holding his blanket, hold his arms up at me and smack his lips wanting a kiss from his mama. MELTS my heart. I have learned so much from this little man and also he has taught me so much about myself. for example, we went out to Native New Yorker for some wings last night and this child+restaurant=no bueno. he just wants to go! not sit and eat. how boring right? well anyways he decided he wanted to dip every one of his chubby little fingers in the every ranch on the table and lick it off. i let him for a while because a little ranch isn't harmless. well next thing i know i hear Kris say, "Really Ryder?" i look up to see ranch smothered on Kris's face. haha Ryder decided to dip his french fry in ranch and share it with Kris without Kris knowing. i just laugh and i can see kris be like "REALLY"? haha 5 minutes later he is wanting to flirt with the girls behind us by trying to reach for their hair/head, then he wanted to play with pizza scooper thingy by attempting to throw it at us. Im telling you all this because all the while i just kinda laughed it off as in whatever, he is a toddler. this is what toddlers do. Kris was way past done and wanted to get out of there asap but i can tell my patience has grown 20 times with this little man as it was before. 
his little personality is bursting right now. he still is obsessed with dirt bikes. he still is as energetic as ever, doesnt want to stop. ever. loves balls, cars, trucks, animals, anything with a motor. he is in love with fruit right now just like his mama. he can eat a whole container of raspberries by himself. still obsessed with his hero, his daddy. also with diesel as well.
i took him into his 18 month checkup today and he weighs 22.02 lbs and is 32 inches tall. i knew he was growing for sure because he can now reach our doorknobs and sneak his way into our room/bathroom. 

 his..."am i in trouble?" look
 loook at the swag as he waves to mama haha









 still loves his bath time haha

we love you Ryder!!!!

xoxo


 SIDE NOTE: ryder got to meet his Aunt Alanah for the FIRST time as she returned home from her mission! he took to her just like she was Summer or Kaitlyn.

family camping trip {june 5th}

So this last weekend just my little family went up for a weekend of fun in the woods. it was cold{like 47 degrees at night} but the days were beautiful still cold enough to wear a jacket though{my kind of weather}. nothing better than the smell of pine trees, cool weather and camp fires. we just bought a toy hauler and im in love with it. so this was our first trip out with it.
we ended up getting to camp around midnight, unloaded the hauler and kris and i were so ready to pass out but our little monster had other plans. haha he thought the camper was the coolest thing so i was up with him till 2:30am until he finally passed out. haha anyways kris ended up taking him outside when he woke up at 6am to build a fire with him. 
 almost every ride we went on this little guy fell asleep haha


watching the rain from inside where its warm haha



 the best boys a girl could ask for

L O V E this boy
 we loved taking walks.
 lots of throwing and kicking rocks haha 
 i had to . haha he fell running towards a cow. haha but good thing it lasted all of 2 minutes and he was back to laughing and throwing rocks
