Family Pictures

My sweet little Ryder

Mischevious little Stockton :)

Thank you thank you to my wonderful sister for taking these photos!

Birthday Continued. . . .

Here are all of the creations of the day. . . . notice all the turkeys?
Ryder was more interested in the candy corns on the table than his actual cake

Todd was trying to show him how to go at it. . . now if you know Ryder he never passes up food. . . but. . . .

He was either scared of it. . . or just too tired to care!

After he got in his jammies and chased around with cousins he was fine! At the end of the night I could tell he had had a big day because when I layed him in his bed he had a huge smile and sighed like Finally I get to rest!

My LIttle Ryder is ONE!!!

Okay so this post is a little late. . . but my baby turned ONE on November 19th! I can't believe that a year has flown by already, I swear I was just in the hospital having him. Here are some pictures of the festivities of the day! Sorry these are in backwards order. . . I never remember how to post the pictures :)


We decided that he needed to have a turkey cake since it was so close to THanksgiving and behind it are the Turkey Cupcakes we made ( thanks Today show for the Idea :))

Here is our cupcake tower of Turkeys! I had to open my windows for my house to stay cool enough so they didn't melt! I also couldn't have done it without the help of my cute mom!

Sorry this one is sideway. . . Ryder and his Nana opening presents

Birthday morning opening presents. . . well trying to before Stockton got a hold of them :)

He loved his little fridge animal sounds. . . he started dancing the second he figured out that music played on it!

My little Turkeys!

So i am doing a turkey birthday party for Ryder because his birthday is so close to Thanksgiving, I found this idea in a magazine and thought that they would be cute for his party! They are really easy to make (Obviously if I can do it anyone can) and they are pretty inexpensive as well! Just a fun little idea if anyone wants to do it! SOrry a couple of the pictures are a little blurry. . . no time to retake them right now! Kids are starting to wake up . . . . :)

Ward Party and Halloween Night

Stockton loved all of the games at the Ward Party. . . He never stopped smiling the whole time!

Sugar cookies with Easton at Nana's House (not sure how this photo got in the middle?)

Halloween night with the Geiger Boys! We met up for a minute so they could see each other!

We love our Nana and Papa!!!

The boys had had it by the time we got to Grandma Lois's!

Pumpkin Patch and Pumpkin Carving

Todd and the boys trying to pick out the perfect pumpkins to carve for "Spookie Ookie Night"

Carving at Grandma and Grandpa Stratfords. . . Stockton didn't like the pumpkins "Brains" and Ryder wouldn't stop trying to eat them :)

Our pumpkins were succesfully Carved

Best Buddies Stockton and Will showing off all of our handiwork!

It was getting late and this was the best photo we could get at this point! Stockton wouldn't open his eyes the little stinker!

Visiting cute little Grandpa Parsons, He peeked at the kids to see their costumes. . Such a good sport!

Grandma Parsons with all of the little Rugrats. . . Ryder was super tired at this point of the day!

Enchanted Woods at the treehouse was a lot of fun for the kiddos! Ryder slowed down long enough to give me a snuggle!

Stockton and Will standing excited to see what we would find next.

My little hunter . . . .

This picture is at Lagoon a few weeks ago when we went with all the cousins! Todd has been working with Stockton on which eye is his shooting eye, can you tell??? Stockton loves hunting already and I thought that this picture was so funny to prove that he was sharpening up on his shooting skills while at Lagoon! He kept his one eye closed the entire ride :)

Who needs a dog????

Okay, so Todd keeps wanting a dog and every time we are at his parents their dog Dazee cleans up what the kids spill on the floor while eating and Todd's theory is the dog cleans up after the kids! So yesterday as I was getting the broom out to sweep up the kids mess I turn around and find Ryder cleaning up his own mess . . . good thing the floors were mopped the day before :) So funny!

I have joined the blogging world!

okay so I guess I am now Blogging! It took Erica to move thousands of miles away for me to do it. . . but here goes! We will see if I am any good at it huh?? :) I want it to be a private blog though so if anyone visits and wants to be on the list if you will please leave me your email and I will add you on! Thanks all!
