Yes I need to get my christmas pictures up but Shauns dad took some so I'm waiting to get those and will post them. Until then I though I would share some cute pics of Ryker flying around pretending to be Buzz Lightyear. He even makes those flying noises only boys can do =)
He got a cool Buzz toy and Buzz PJ's for Christmas. He is now ready to save the galaxy.
Well because of this (and baby sister needs a crib)
We must say goodbye to our crib. After all he is going to be 3 in May!!
Ryker loves his new bed. He really liked jumping on it!!!
First day and he had no problems taking a nap!! He is a stinker most of the time, but the one good thing he has always done for me is he is a great sleeper!!
This is Stephanie and Travis Evans, Shaun, me and Ryker and Casey and Shelley Goodman. Their little boy Lane was off playing. We just had fun doing the "Older Cousins" white elephant gift exchange. I got the yummy candle my brother brought. I wanted a tool box but someone stole it from me =(
These are all my cousins who have kids. Natalie (in the middle) and I are expecting our second kiddos.
Every year for as long as I can remember, we have done a cousin gift exchange. Each year it gets bigger and bigger with cousins getting married and having babies. I have 28 cousins on my moms side, 8 of us now married and have had 10 kids all together. Ryker got to give to Trellany this year. She got a necklace and gift card to Forever 21.
Josh gave to Ryker, what could it be????
Ryker has so much fun opening his present, he was very excited. It was a magnetic game.
He thought it was a telescope, Ryker loves pirates.
So I'm so proud of myself for actually completing a craft. I start many and only finish a few. I saw this at a scrapbook store and to buy the kit was alot. I knew I could make it on my own. I had a family party to go to and we do a older cousin gift exchange. I thought this, (plus a gift card for the hubby) would be a great idea. So I had fun making it, now I have to make one for me =) My wonderful cousin Stephanie ended up with my cute creation.
My cousin Shelley (the one on the left) invited us over for dinner the other night. She made yummy taco salad. Well she has been telling me how easy it is to Blog but I just didn't want to cross over and become a "blogger". I prefer to just look at everyone else's =) But right after dinner Shelley goes, "Ok, lets go set up your blog". So really the dinner was just a big set up and she really just wanted to force me to start blogging!! I'll admit it is pretty fun to do, so thank you Shelley for getting it all going. p.s. this is one of my favorite pictures. Shelley's twin sister Stephanie is on the right of me. They are 2 of my most favorite people!! I don't know what I would have done without them =)
So Ryker is usually scared to go see Santa, but he saw other ward kids sitting on his lap and realized he must not be to scary after all. So Ryker pulled me from my chair an said "Go sit on Santa's lap". I was shocked but happily waited in line. Ryker told him he wanted a train for Christmas, uh-oh mom better go shopping a little more.
Ryker got a treat bag from Santa, don't you love the cheesy smile!!
Ryker had so much fun at our Ward Christmas Party. It was "Breakfast with Santa" so the kids could wear their PJ's. Today Ryker got a new pair of Thomas the Train PJ, thanks Nana.
