Words can not begin to describe my shock and amazement when I opened my birthday gift from my precious wifey! To keep an incredibly long story short, she bought me 3 video games that I've only dreamt of owning months before they even come out! If you know Mindy you know what a huge sacrifice and gesture this is. And if you know me you know I am psyched out of my mind!! Thank you so much precious!! The true gift was much more than just the games. I love you!
What a fantastic birthday celebration!! We went to Cheesecake Factory with my parents and Michelle. It was an absolute blast! I promised to only eat half of my incredibly delicious dulce de leche cheesecake. Obviously that didn't happen ;) We had so much fun just laughing our heads off. My parents got me a sweet Utah apron since I love the U and I love grilling! After dinner we all went to see Transformers. Haven't done dinner and a movie in so long!
Ryler LOVES swimming! He has a Lightning McQueen floatie that he rides around in. Like most kids he loves to splash and just go crazy, but he also likes to throw his face into the water, come up choking, laugh, and then do it again. He's so funny. We figured he would love swimming because he was actually delivered during one of Michael Phelps' gold medal swims. He was born for this! Haha
Ryler is so funny, he hates the grass! He keeps his hands off it and tries to lift his legs so they don't touch, then he just balances there waiting for someone to rescue him. It's hilarious.
Mindy secretly did this photo shoot with Ryler at the Gateway and surprised me with it for Father's Day! I bawled like a baby! I am such a sissy ;) It was the most meaningful gift I've ever been given and I will never forget it.
What a way to start Father's Day! Breakfast in bed from my wifey with my little champion by my side. Little did I know the day was about to get even better!
Utes put the new turf down recently. It's a thing of beauty! Not sure what to expect this season. Last season will be a tough one to follow but I can't wait for it to start!
We were invited to a neighborhood bbq last Monday and Ryler was able to make some new friends and play with some Dora toys. His favorite moment by far was when the dog's tail knocked him over. He laughed his head off!
I promised Mindy a Mother's Day garden and we took the day off to put it in together! It turned out awesome. Not to get too cheesey but I love my little wifey so much! We had a really fun day.
Ryler's first major owie, and under Dad's watch :( Sorry buddy. He's so hardcore he cried for about 6 seconds then he was right back on the same cupboard door that busted him open. Crazy little dude.
