They do listen :)

A conversation in the bathroom this morning while Ridge was in the bath and I was getting ready...

Ridge: Mom I'm pretending my guy is Jesus...

Me: What? {he's got my full attention now}

Ridge: Because he can walk on water see? {Burger King kids meal man IS in fact walking on water.}

Me: :)


P.S. Easter Sunday in Sunday School, Ryder was the only one who knew what Easter is REALLY about. His wonderful teacher told me so afterwards. Awesome.

I've been such a blog slacker!

I'm sorry it has been so long since my last post. Life gets SO busy sometimes. I try not to let it get too busy for the things and people that matter most, but most days it feels like there are not enough hours in the day {although I am ALWAYS grateful when that blessed bedtime hour rolls around!}.
It feels like there are so many things that I need to bring you {whoever you are} up to speed on. First I would like to say HAPPY {belated} BIRTHDAY Nola Jean!!! I meant to send you a card or email or something, but I didn't and I am sorry.
Ryder also had a birthday {May 16th}....am I really the mother of an 8 year old!? No, that can't be right. I will post more on that later...
Noah, Noah, Noah.......Oh, where to begin! This child is a live wire! He never stops, and is constantly looking for {and finding} trouble! My Oh my how I love this boy...

• He is an awesome sleeper! He takes two naps a day, and is ready for bed around 8pm
• Is a good eater too! Steamed veggies are probably his fav, with breakfast skillet {hashbrowns, scrambled eggs, mushrooms & ham or turkey} a close second.
• Favorite toys of the moment are toothbrushes, balls & animals.
• Is talking like crazy! Some of the most common are Up, book, mom, dad, Ryder, diaper, Jake, baba, blanket, bar {as in a protein bar}...
• Is still a little TinyMite! I just bought some shorts for summer in size 3-6 months. Anything larger looked like high water pants. But is a size 6-12 month in shirts and pants.
  
• LOVES to play outside! But don't take your eye off him for a second, or you'll find him with the horses....ask Chase how we know this will ya'll? Oh ya, it totally happened...NOT a happy mama bear that day!
• Am I boring you yet? I could go on and on but I guess I won't. But I will leave you with a clip of Noah....this is how he rolls ALL DAY LONG!!!
  

A {not so} Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Sunday morning brought us a little grumpy being in the form of a boy named Ryder. It seemed no matter what was said or done, he was upset. I originally had plans to attend a baby shower in Idaho Falls, but after talking with Chase, we decided that the last few days had been about us and our own agendas, and that was probably the reason for our grumpy Mr. Ryder. So we let the boys pick our Sunday afternoon adventures. After a quick discussion, it was off to McTucker Gravel Ponds for some food, fun, and fishing with Grandpa Chuck and cousins Mason and Tanner.






We didn't catch anything {except for maybe a few hundred rocks inside of the boy's boots}, but it was a day enjoyed by all.
