Halloween

We started the day out with pumpkin carving with Grandpa. Ryder was wore out from his long birthday weekend so he did not pose well for the photos.

Grandpa showing everyone how to carve the pumpkins.

Ryder was a puppy. He refused to keep his hood up and mittens on.

We discovered that Ryder had a big poopy blowout in his costume. So after a diaper change we quickly went to a couple houses on the block to "trick or treat." He loved it. He talked to all the neighbors and loved running the streets in his costume.

Momma with her boys. Wyatt's first Halloween at 6 weeks old. He did not go out due to the cold weather.

Daddy with the boys. Then the night ended with a nice bubble bath for Ryder. Next year both boys will get to go together.

Terrific 2's

Before I formed you in the womb I knew you, before you were born I set you apart. Jeremiah 1:5

2 years ago today I gave birth to my sweet baby Ryder. Life has not been remotely the same since. I was ready for motherhood prior to having Ryder. You get to a point in life when you feel prompted or restless with where you're at. Sometimes this means a career choice, physical move, spiritual awakening, and in my case it was motherhood. I got bored with life as I knew it.

Today I could not be prouder of my firstborn. He is everything I dreamed for and more. I would not change a thing about him. He is full of love, joy and energy.

I could go on and on, but I am exhausted from a full day.

Happy Birthday Ryder!!!

love your momma

2 Weeks Old photos

We had an amazing photographer Carrianne do our newborn pics when Wyatt was 13 days old. We heard about her from other friends. We really enjoyed working with her and like her work.

Goofy family photo.

Brothers

Love all the photos, but I look awkward with holding Wyatt in the family photos. We will definitely be getting more!

Bella Baby

Wyatt was photographed at the hospital by Bella Baby Photography at one day old. These are a lot of the photos.

He slept threw them. He looks a lot like his big brother in these.

Thank you Auntie Carissa for buying us the CD of these pics!

Falltime

We have been trying to enjoy this beautiful fall weather by getting out as much as we can. We packed up the wagon and visited the Apple Orchard and pumpkin patch last week. I slacked on getting pictures, but managed to get a few. We got 2 pumpkins for the boys.

Ryder loves the new double stroller our great friend MJ bought us.

We got lost in the corn maze.

Momma & Ryder jumping on this huge bounce mat.

You can't see his face, but he was smiling and skippng around the whole time.

Little prince and bundled up.

I took the boys to the local park last Friday. It was challenging by myself since Ryder tries to runaway all the time. Kinda hard to run after him while I have an infant in a stroller. So I harnassed him to slow him down a bit. Next time he will be in stroller or we will invite a friend to chase him.

I love this picture! Ryder fell face first in the dirt on the trails. Funny how the marks turned out.

I tried to get a cute pic with him on the bench. This is the best I got.

I was a little nervous about him being so close to the water so I kept hold of him the entire walk next to the ponds.

I worn out Moo shoo after running up the path.

What fun we are having, but we all get tired out easy by the end of the day.
