Backyard Pool

We're so hip we have our own backyard pool. Just gotta wait for the pool boy to finish filling it.

Livin' For The Weekend

So as you may know I've lost a lot of weight over the last year and keeping it off isn't always fun or easy. The way I've found to deal with it is giving myself the weekends to eat more crazy concoctions than you can imagine! Featured here is my Krispy Kreme bacon cheeseburger! Followed by a king size Butterfinger with ice cream and cookies! And just ask Mindy, that was so only the beginning!

15 Minute Occurrence

No matter how many times or how often I go behind him and clean this up it's back to a disaster zone within 15 minutes. I'm using it as a teaching opportunity for him to learn how to clean up after himself. So far he's really good at observing but not so great at participating.

Saturday Morning Cartoons!

Ryler loves his Handy Manny and Dad loves watching Saturday morning cartoons! A recipe for a perfect day together. Mom loves that we're still in our pj's at like noon!

Happy Mother's Day!

So Mindy made bones about letting me know I gave her a pretty cruddy Mother's Day, but at least she looks good with her boys :)

Happy Day

Every day is a fun filled happy day with my Ry-guy!

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!
