Girls Camp and George

Bad picture of George! But he is so dang cute!

Jarrett and I went to see in concert the man I have the biggest crush on George Strait. I have loved him pretty much since birth. We missed the 2 opening acts, but George made up for it

My dad hiked the Nipple with us. I was very impressed for

being an old man he

was a regular ol' mountian goat!

I was in charge of Girls Camp this year. We spent 2 nights at 12 mile flats. It was so much fun. I went with a great group of girls. For our hike we climbed the Nipple. None of the leaders or girls had ever hiked it and I think that everyone needs to do it at least once. The girls thought that it was awesome! We also went caynoing, played steal the flag, did crafts, went to the swing and had a testimony meeting with a speaker. It was a great couple of days!

Clark Bown came up and spent the night. He brought up with him a dead rattle snake that he had froze all coiled up. Mellissa Judy and I were the last out of bed one morning so he stuck it right out side our tent. It was the first thing I saw when I unzipped the tent. It freaked me out so bad, I swore as loud as I possibly could. I was so pissed I hate snakes!

Green Paint!

A couple of weeks ago Ryder had been out of control all day and I had had it! I sat down to fold clothes and at that point I really didn't care what Ryder was doing. It was really quiet for a long time, then I could hear Ryde falling down and it sounded like he was slipping. This is what I saw when I turned the corner. I about died! Luckily it came off the floor really well. His onesie went in the garbage and the baseboards will have to be painted. Oh what a kid I have!

Ryder's 1st B-Day

Ryde going to town on his cake. He was a mess!

My attempt at a pig cake

Ryde and his cow pinata
For Ryder's big day we had a fun little party with some of our family and friends. We got together for a barnyard themed BBQ. It was so fun. Ryder is obsessed with barnyard animals. So we had a cow pinata which he loved. He kept mooing at it. We had cow pattern balloons, and I attempted to make a pig cake. It was great weather and it was a perfect day to celebrate Ryder. He got tons of presents (thanks everyone) and loved all the attention. I can't believe that my baby is 1. He acts like such a big boy. Love you little boy!

Grandpa's 80th

My Grandpa Chuck turned 80 the end of April. So all my mom's family got together and had a celebration for him and the great influence he is in our life. My mom gathered a ton of pictures of his life and mad a book out of them. It was really fun to see him as a little boy and read some of the stories of his life. It was a fun weekend. Ryder also got a big boy car seat, and loves it. When we first put him in it, he just laughed and laughed.

Rydre's 1 year old Pictures

It's official that I really suck at blogging, but here is a small attempt to make up for it. These are a few of the pictures that we got taken at Kiddie Kandid's. Ryder did such a good job and smiled so cute! I can't believe my baby is 1!

Easter

I was so excited to for Easter Sunday so that Ryder could wear his new clothes. I think he looks so dang cute! I love Children's Place. He had just woke up in these pictures, so he's a little ornery and wouldn't smile, but he's cute anyways!

Oh and by the way he is now walking. For the past 4 weeks he will walk like 10-20 steps at a time, but now he walks everywhere all the time!

Ryders' Easter Basket

My mom made up this really cute Easter Basket for Ryde. It had books and stuffed animals and candy, but he didn't care about any of that. He just wanted the shredded paper in the bottom. He laughed and played with it for hours. He is a funny boy!
