May 20th-June 3rd

May has been a busy busy month. Nana took Millie and me on a quick trip to Cali. We had a fun girls day at Dland then the Garment District the next!! I love love that place.

Millie has really been obsessed with the Fairies lately, she really likes Silvermist the blue fairy but she wasn't there the day we went. 

Millie also really loves Minnie mouse. She was so excited to meet her and go in her house =)

Of course we had to go on the Winne the Pooh ride, a few times.

Mom and Millie on the Jungle Cruise.

 Then it was Rykers last week of school. He had a GREAT first year and made lots of great friends. They had a little performance and the kids sang several cute songs.

It is so nice having a videoagrapher for a husband, our family videos are amazing =)

Ryker with his teacher Mrs. Butler. She was a wonderful teacher =)

They had an ice cream party on the last day.

Riggy is growing so fast. He is eating cherrios and loves baby food. He just started Army Crawling all over the place. It is so funny to see him dragging his huge body around.

Then after school got out and a week before girls camp, Riggy and I headed North to Rexberg Idaho to visit Abe, Shantay, Briss and new baby Kinners. Rigdon did GREAT on the airplane. He fell asleep when we took off and woke up for the last 20 mins of the flight, and sat on my lap and smiled!! I love him!!

Cousins!!!!

I took Bristol and Riggy on a few walks. They loved it and it was beautiful, a little chilli but beautiful.

They live just right below the temple, so we walked up and around the temple.

Bath time.

Rigdon and Kinnley

I'm so sad I didn't get any pictures with Abe or Shantay, but here are the cousins again. Bristol 16 months, Riggy 8 months and Kinners 3 weeks old.

Rykers Birthday Week

The Sunday before Ryker's birthday we ate dinner at the Martineau's. Nana made him this yummy chocolate cake.

Then he got to open all his fun presents from Nana and Pa and the Palmers.

He got all Legos and was VERY excited!!! He has spend hours putting them together and follows every single direction. He is is dads son, that is for sure.

It was a beautiful perfect day. My sisters came over as well to celebrate in the birthday festivities. 

Ryker's FAVORITE thing to do at recess or at a park is to play TAG. So since he was the birthday boy we played tag. Holy cow I am out of shape. I haven't ran like that in years =)

So he had a few more days till his real birthday so while waiting patiently he played Legos.

We also finished up our last week of swim lessons with Ms. Celeste. We love her!!!

The big day finally arrived, May 18th is Rykers birthday and he turned 6 this year.

It was on a Wednesday so he had school, so we took a treat to his class. He wanted Dunkin Doughnuts munchkins. His classmates sang Happy Birthday to him and I think the ending is just so funny. Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday to you, Happy Birthday dear Ryker, Happy Birthday to you, chachacha, oolala, stick your head in hot lava, high ya, FREEDOM

It is so random but halarious!!

That night Ryker wanted pizza for his birthday, so we went to Borros with Gampa and Ethan. (Gama was in Idaho still and all the other Aunts were working)

Then back to our place for presents and a little cake and ice cream.

The next night Shaun took Ryker and his friend Jackson (and his dad Dan) to play laser tag. He has been wanting to go do this for awhile now. They had a blast =)

So Ryker was spoiled as usual and had a great birthday WEEK. I love my little man so much. His favorite color is still green, he loves to play with friends, his favorite TV show is anything super hero or about animals. His favorite food is still chicken nuggets and french fries with chocolate milk. He loves Rigdon and is a great help to me with him. Ryker loves to play dress-ups and has several different costumes he likes to wear and of course loves to pretend he has weapons of all kinds.

May 1st -May 15th

Ryker loves to help with yard work. He is very excited for Saturdays because he hopes Shaun will be needing to do some work outside. I just thought his attire was funny this time. Swimsuit, slippers and huge gloves. What a great helper.

We check on the kids every night before we go to bed. When we walked into Millies room we just laughed because somehow she got all these toys in her bed. Her room is pitch black so it is not even like she could see to play with them. Silly girl!

Oh the annual Fathers and Sons!!  I'm always very jealous when this time rolls around because I LOVE camping and Shaun doesn't. So as they drive off with all their camping gear loaded up and headed for the mountains I wish I could hide in the back and sneak up with them.

Since I couldn't go camping, I though I will have my own fun. So I invited my sistas over to help me paint a room. We couldn't start painting till the kids were in bed so we had In and Out for dinner and Amelia decided to dress herself in this and show us dance moves.

My sweet sisters taught her some dance moves as well =)

Now let the painting begin. Wuggs introduced me to Pandora on my iphone so I typed in Backstreet Boys and it played all the popular songs around that time!! It was a great highschool flashback for me....BSB, NSYNC, Britney Spears (before she went nasty), 98 degrees, etc.....

April and May Ryker had Tball. He was on the same team with his best little buddy Jackson so it was fun for him and fun for us parents as well. Here is Ryker making a catch on 3rd base. (he never actually caught the ball, but he tried)

When his other team mates were making a good play he would jump up and down cheering for them.

Ryker's strength in tball was hitting. He hit that ball into the outfield most the time.

Riggy having fun with his buddy Porter.

Millie and Bryce =)

I finally captured this face but Rigdon made this face all the time and the funny ting is it looks like he is crying but he isn't making a peep, hw just makes this face while eating sometimes =)

Jackson #9 and Ryker #12

While we were sitting and watching Rykers last game, Shantay was in Idaho giving birth to our sweet Kinnley Mae. I was getting minute by minute text form them and I was wishing so badly to be there. Doesn't she make the cutest baby burrito!!  

What a proud Daddy.

The whole family. Shantay looks great and Briss Briss is such a cute big sister. They are 16 months apart.

 My mom was able to be there when she had the baby and stay for 2 weeks to help out. 5th grandbaby.

The Friday before Mothers Day Ryker invited me to his class for a Mothers Day event. He made me this beautiful jeweled crown and some other gifts. He served me cookies and lemonade.  

Ryker has had a wiggly tooth for a few weeks. He sits their and pushes back and forth with his tongue.

We were swimming at our Nana and Pas house then the kids wanted a fudge-sickle, and while eating it his tooth popped out. His first tooth, he was beyond excited.

I made him this "snaggle-tooth" monster pillow for him to put his tooth in and to put under his pillow.

The mouth part is a pocket and when he woke up the next day his tooth was gone but he got $2 from the tooth fairy.
