He's a BIG BOY now! ! ! ! !

Ryder's potty trained! ! ! ! After about 2 weeks of hanging out around the house naked butt and toting his potty around with him everywhere!.......He's now in big boy undies. He does so well with letting us know when he has to go potty, of course he's had a couple accidents but he's still learning.

Baby is due Sept 15, so Thank God we won't have 2 in diapers.

Grandma even got in the water too! ! ! She didn't want to miss out on the fun with these special boys!

Ryder Visits the DENTIST

Ryder had his first dental appointment and to our surprise he did very well. He was such a good boy, which is a surprise because when we brush his teeth at home it's sometimes a struggle. He sat and did all his x rays and opened his mouth so they could tickle his teeth and count them. The dentist said that he's got all his teeth in and that they look really good! ! !






Ryder's got his goodie bag with prizes and his balloon. Don't mind the finger in the nose! ! ! !

The Gatorade Mistake

We went to Cabela's this week. At the checkout Ryder said that he was thirsty and pointed at the Gatorade in the cooler. So of course, we bought him a gatorade.

We got to the truck and strapped Ryder in his car seat.

I opened the gatorade and handed it to J. I told him to take a few big drinks and then give it to Ryder. He usually does pretty well drinking out of bottles on his own.

By the time we got home....We had a gatorade MESS. Ryder was soaked....even his hair...had to take a few pics of my little booger! ! ! His skin was dyed red from the gatorade.

Christmas Memories

We had a wonderful Christmas! ! ! Ryder had so much fun opening all his presents and getting lots of fun toys! ! ! He had 4 rounds of Christmas...our family Christmas, Christmas with Nana and Papa, Christmas with Grandma and Pappy, and then more Christmas with Great Grandma and Great Great Grandpa. He is a lucky and very loved little boy :)

Sunday, Part 2

Sunday night we met up with family to check out the train park. They have it all lit up for Christmas. When we got there the line for tickets was pretty long. As we waited in line for tickets we watched the train line grow and grow. We ended up waiting in the train line for about an hour. That was not too bad, we were thinking we would be waiting for about 2 hours. Jason was kind of picking on me saying that we were going to wait in that long line for a 2 minute train ride. It was worth the wait though, Ryder loved it! He had tons of fun hanging out with his cousins, those kids are so funny to watch! It was a great time!

Ryder and Mommy on the carousel. It was pretty funny, Ryder does not like the horses at all. I asked him if he wanted to ride on a horse and he said "No, I ride the chair"
He is too funny! ! ! We rode 3 times and each time he wanted to 'ride the chair'
