Halloween was super fun with Ryder. He was pretty pumped to see any holiday stuff and he just assumed it was for "merry Christmas". We had to help him define between the holidays. He loved to see the witches and monsters in the store, and we had a couple episodes of being startled by them and running through the store screaming before mom could catch up.













A visit to the PUMPKIN PATCH :)


























Ridin' the Cow Train at the Pumpkin Patch...






























Ryder took a couple bites of the pumpkin pieces and chewed on them for a while. He kept going back for more, but spit it all out eventually.














Here's my monster pumpkin

we've been talking about the monster house and the witch house for a month so we had to go visit...a little scarier than he anticipated. :)

























A very HaPpY HaLlOwEeN!

















Ryder had fun making Halloween decorations...and wearing them :)

Happy Birthday Ryder

Happy Birthday to me....


Ryder's buddy Tha-Thai couldn't wait for him to wake up, so he jumped right in to open presents!
Thanks for the shoes and blocks Thai-Thai & Tovey Family :)













Dad took him to the swim park...



















He showed off his best swim skills, and swam till his lips were purple and the sun was setting.



He does a little more drinking than bubble blowing

My Every Day

Where you find me on a summer day...


LET ME OUT!!

this has been one of the wettest springs/summers on record...which is saying a lot for around here. I've just been waiting for the weather to get warmer. All I want to do all day every day is be outside!

Ridin' My BikeHere's a clip of me on my new bike... bike video



Mom made some bow ties for the church craft-fare... and I had to debut one today








When the weather is crummy mom lets me hang out on the porch and shoot hoops...someday I'll figure out how to escape. Mom put this flower pot here to distract me from the escape hatch :)













I finally got to play baseball on a real BASEBALL field HOORAY!















I could hardly contain myself :)
























I'm only allowed to paint under strict supervision

















but I am sooooo good at it that mom framed my masterpiece.






I like to help in the kitchen...mostly because I need to be the center of it all.

J*U*L*Y

It finally got up to 100 degrees so we made some ice cream...











We finally got to go to the pool...Last year we were going in May. Mom got out the beach towels, and I got out the rest of the towels



































We had a Happy **FOURTH OF JULY **


































I got to ride on the tractor with PaPa...and drive too!



































We learned about soldiers from the scriptures in my Nursery class on Sunday...


there were about 20 little Lamanites running around the church.
