Way Too Smart

This kid is too smart for his own good. He loves going outside so when Dad's not in the mood he takes matters into his own hands. Wheeled his truck over there, stood in the back and unlocked the door! Gotta keep an eye on this one.

Buzzed

Time to lay off the energy drinks Ry-guy.

Nanna!

Ryler loves his nannas! He gets so excited he literally has a hard time breathing in anticipation.

Awesome!!

So as if getting my tooth fixed wasn't expensive enough, I decided to run into a parked car and get cited for it in the process. Double awesome! Stupid immobile objects. Why can't you just stay out of my swerving ways?! Thankfully it looks a lot worse than it was. The other car barely had a scratch.

Finally x2

First of all we finally have an In N' Out! And secondly we finally went there! The lines have been out of control so we decided to fight the masses and get our own double doubles! Well mine was a 3 by 3 and Justin's was a 4x4! Thankfully though, Ryler will not have to grow up without this deliciousness.

Such An Amazing Kid

There's nothing in life that Ryler doesn't just take in stride. We moved him into a big boy bunk bed a little early in life so we could get the nursery ready for Krew. He made about 10 minutes of noise the first night and went right to sleep. He's been sleeping peacefully each night and afternoon ever since. In fact he loves it in his new bed!

Killer Park

Justin and Turin introduced us to this amazing park just down the street that we never knew about! We had so much fun.

First Picture

My last picture taken with the Curve and my first picture taken with the new Tour. Wow, what a difference. Of course both are equally adorable.

The New Hottness!

It was time for an upgrade and I couldn't help but stick with the BlackBerry! My Curve never let me down and the Tour 9630 is everything I'd want and much much more!! Absolutely love this phone!

Creepy Much?

Dude really? This baby monitor is freaking me out! Doesn't help that Ryler acts possessed half the time anyway.

Expensive Crack

Awesome, I apparently had a cracked tooth which required a root canal and a crown. Not cheap :( At least Ryler seems to be loving it.

Tired Fun

I think Ryler and Madison had more than enough fun with Grandma today!

Daddy Daughter Date!

My Princess Madison was in town and Mindy and I decided it would be awesome if she stayed home with Ryler and I took Madi on a Daddy Daughter date. It was SO much fun! We went to her favorite fast food place, KFC, and then we went to see How To Train Your Dragon. Madi fell asleep on my shoulder about 15 minutes into the movie. It was the most fun I've had in a long time. I love my precious princess and she loves her daddy.

Madi's Top Bunk

Madison was so excited to sleep in her new top bunk! And Ryler was more than a little excited to share his room with his big sister who he loves more than anything in the world!

Tourney Time

We weren't able to go to the MWC tournament this year but the NCAA tournament came to us! Thanks to Dad who treated the whole family to one amazing round of March Madness! Another wildly successful and fun boys trip. This time to downtown and the SkyBox!

Clothes Are For Suckers

Went to get Ryler up from a nap and he had started undressing himself but got stuck halfway. Hilarious!

It Got Worse

Poor little guy. He seems to be loving it though.

Really Mom? Really?

Ok, so maybe it was Dad who put the sunflower on his head. But it's just so cute! Haha

Jump On It!

My brother Justin called me up and said he had a 2 for 1 pass to a place called Jump On It! So we took our boys and our Dad came along and we had the time of our lives! I pretty much videoed the whole thing and this is my first official Flip "movie". What a great night of fun we all had with my dad watching his boys play with their sons. We all went to McDonald's after and stuffed our faces :) A great time was had by all.

I'm Kind of A Big Deal

So without applauding myself too much it's been a year now since I decided to take weight loss and healthy living seriously. Just thought I'd post a 1 year progress/maintenance picture. Oh I'm so dead sexy! Hahaha

Chillin'

Ryler doin' his thing. Actually you can't get the kid to watch tv to save his life!

My Little Triathlete

Madi did a triathlon in San Diego. Wish I could have been there but she tells me it was awesome and she did great!! A triathlon? Seriously?! How amazing is this little girl!

Playin' With My Homie

Just testing out the new Flip cam with Ryler. There's some fun editing and stuff you can do with it to that I'll have to check out but for now this is just a fun raw video of us hanging out waiting for Mom to get home from work.

Flip This!

We got a fun new little Flip cam to take videos of Ryler and other random stuff. It's pretty fun and convenient. I tricked it out with some UofU gear to make it mine. My first video shot with it I posted on YouTube and it was a matter of like 3 mouse clicks! So slick and simple. Love it!

Chillin' In Our PJ's

Just another day in paradise with my best buddy :)

Please?!

How can you say no to this face even if he is asking for more treats after not eating his breakfast and downing half a bag of tropical flavored marshmallows?!

Two, Threeee!

So Ryler's figured out the sequence of 1,2,3 and knows that after 3 something fun and exciting always happens. All you have to do is say "1" and he'll finish off the rest with a "do, treeee!" With an extra emphasis of excitement on the TREEE!

Old School Romance

Our ward had a neighborhood Valentine's dinner/dance and the men were issued the challenge to ask their wives to the dance in a creative way. As you can see I arranged Ryler's toys to read "Will You Go To The Dance With Me" and threw in a big hug from Bobby Banana to boot! Mindy came home from work and thought I'd left a huge mess for her to clean up until she realized it was just the first cute gesture her hubby's made in the last 3 years or so ;) I think the whole thing was supposed to be a contest with the other husbands in the neighborhood, which made me want to do it even less, but sadly only 2 other husbands even did anything. Sure made me glad I did!

Hi

Ryler's doing the cutest new thing. Everywhere we go he says hi to everyone who walks by. And not just once but usually like 30 times! Hahaha, hi hi hi hi hi! It's pretty hilarious.

This Kid Is Too Much Fun!

Seriously, this is the only kid I know who's always happy, always laughing, and always making others laugh! He could not be more fun to be around! We'll keep our fingers crossed that our next kid will be half as fun! I think we're due for a challenge because it's been way too fun and enjoyable so far.
