A Special Post for a Special Someone

I obviously have a ton to update on. Like Brock's birthday, Ryker's very first birthday and his party, our trip to the sand dunes, Easter, Roxy, and a whole lot more. But before I post my update overload, I really want to tell my brother Josh how proud we are of him and how much we love him. Since the divorce he has lost SO much weight and is still loosing. I can't imagine how hard it would be to stay focused on something like loosing weight while going through a divorce and not seeing your kids every day. I freak out after about 8 hours of not seeing my son. But anyway back to Josh. He is back to doing what he loves ( weight lifting, fishing, hunting, friends & family, chasing girls (lol) and etc etc). Josh is so stress free now days, he is so fun to hang around and I love the way Ry just lights up when he sees his good old Uncle Josh. Josh we love ya tonz and tonz. Good luck with all those girls and dates. I'll get a picture of Josh and post it soon with the update overload.

Ry's New Adventures!

Well, we have quite the adventures. Ry has been walking for over a month now and loves it. He loves to run around with the dogs and when he can, his cousins Addy and Coopy. In our walking adventures, we have fallen on the corner of an ottoman and got a black eye, fallen down the stairs, and who knows what else. Even after all our accidents though, Ry just keeps gettin right back up and toddling along. Here's a picture of his black eye. (left eye)

Well, next month Ry will be a year old. Crazy how fast time goes bye. But we have been working on cutting down on the bottles and he loves his sipping cups, but when he does get a bottle he loves to take over Roxy's and Harley's bean bag chill and chug away. We are down to about 4 bottles a day and he loves big people food. He won't even look at baby food and if we try to feed it to him, he pushes it away. He sure does love his Oreo cookies too. We will definitely be posting birthdays next month. Brock's birthday and Ry's birthday is next month. We are definitely are excited for Ry's first birthday party.

Our Christmas Tree Story!!!
I can't believe it but we did!!! We thought of just going without a tree this year. We didn't want a real tree and we couldn't go tree hunting with the Rallison Family cuz of a family party. We have a BIG BIG like 12 ft tree but we decided it was too big and we didn't really wanna deal withit. So our next option was to buy one. Well we always had plans to go look at one and we never made, and last Friday night we went to Festival of the Trees with my parents and one the way home we were telling my parents our thoughts on this. Well the next morning, I woke up to a text message from my momma saying there was a small box on our front porch. Well, all excited I got up and went and looked and sure enough it was a BIG box and a cute cute christmas tree. I was so excited I ran upstairs and woke up Brock and made him get up and go get it off the front porch. I would have set it up but we took Ry to go sit on Santa's lap first and Grandma Ethel's restuarant. I got home and immediately started setting it up. So now it really feels like Christmas and I can't believe I even thought of going without a tree. O yes, as you can see we don't have presents under the tree. We do have presents but we also have an adorable little Roxy Girl that loves to eat the corner of the boxes and opens the presents!!! Thanks a million to my mom and dad for the tree. We love you guys and appreciate everything you guys do and help us with!!!

Ryker and Roxy Updates!!!

RYKER!!!

Well, our little Ryker boy is getting so big and SO fast. He keeps me on my toes and get him and Roxy together and they always have me going. Well, Ryker is almost 9 months now with 4 teeth and is crawling EVERYWHERE!!! He is a fast little crawler and he is almost walking already! Although, he can wear me out pretty quick now days, he still is a great lil boy. He is still sleeping through the nights (staying up a lil late some nights) but is such a good little boy. And he LOVES his tub time!

Roxy, Roxy, Roxy!!!

Where do I even start with this little girl?! We have had her for about a lil over a month now, and did she make her way into our hearts and family?!! She is only growing wider and not much taller. Ha Ha!! Fat lil thing! She loves causing trouble. If she's not sleeping she's doing something naughty, like eating little boy socks, lil boy toys, or even little boy toes. She just loves to pick on Ry and she definitely keeps Harley Boy on his paws. Actually she keeps all of us on our toes and paws. She is quite the snuggler when she is sleepy though. We love her and are excited to have her!

Happy Birthday To Me!!!

Even though my birthday isn't for a few more days, I got my birthday present early. After we lost our punkin and after some talking, Brock and I decided we needed to get Harley Dog another friend. He was very moppy and sad not having punkin to run around with and play with. So we got Harley a new friend. She is a pure bred yorkie and we named her Roxy. I've always wanted a girl dog just so I could name her Roxy and now finally I got it. We got her from Brock's grandma. She's only been here for a day or so and she already loves it. She likes teasing Harley and giving him a run for his money and she likes to chew on Baby Ryker toes. She has just a bubbly and fun personality and we are happy to have her.

Halloween!!!

So for halloween Ry was superman and when we were visiting, Uncle Cody threw on his matching shirt. We flew around to show off our little superman to all the grandparents, great grandparents and uncles and aunts.
