Halloween 2013

For Halloween Ryker was a puppy.  It was the cutest thing.  We too him trunk or treating at the church and also to a few houses.  He would stand about an inch away from the door until someone opened it.  He loved collecting candy, but really only wanted the suckers.  He would open a sucker, give it to me and then go sneak another one out of the candy his Grandma and Grandpa Zimmerman were giving out.  We also made monster pizzas to eat for dinner that night. 

My brother Taylor took these amazing fall pictures of Ryker

Summer and Fall 2013

I have neglected this blog because life has been so busy but I really want to update it with everything that has been going on so that we can look back on it in the future.   I am sure there is a lot I will forget to post but here are some updates since the last

We had a lot of fun at BYU games

We also had a very fun summer and Ryker helped me put together his new playset

Ryker found his Grandma's jacket one day and thought it was the coolest thing to put on





He adores riding in his Dad's big truck

He went through a stage were he was obsessed with vacuums.  He saw this one while shopping, got down on the ground and starting making vacuum noises.  He cried when I made him leave.

Family Pictures Spring 2013

We went to Gardner Village to have our family pictures taken by Highlite Photography.  I love how the pictures turned out, it was hard to pick just a few, but here are our favorites. 

We have a one year old!

Our little baby is growing up! It is hard to think that just a little over a year ago we were waiting to meet Ryker and now we can't imagine life without him. It is amazing how he fits into our lives so well. He gives us so much to look forward to. He is currently toddling all over the place, and can say mom, mama, dada, kitty, meow, hi, hello, and all kinds of other words we can't understand yet. He doesnt really care too much for shoes but is getting used to them. He loves our broom, swiffer, and vacuum, although I don't know why because I don't use them that much. Maybe he is telling me we need a cleaner house. Haha. He loves to play talk on our phones and will walk all over the house with it up to his ear babbling away. He gets super excited when it actually rings. He doesn't like to eat anything he can't feed himself. He has recently started loving cheese sticks. He loves stuffed animals lately and will hug and kiss them, it is so sweet. He has had a few play dates with his grandparents and he has had a lot of fun. He gets to go watch Tanner play baseball all the time and claps whenever they do something good. He no longer likes his swing and tries to wiggle out of it all the time. He has graduated to a big boy carseat and likes it a lot better. He makes the funniest giggle from his throat that he has ever since he was just little and it is so cute that he still does it. I think he did it before he even smiled. We have given him his first real hair cut while he was sleeping, just his bangs and his hair around his ears, and he can see now. Jk. I love his long hair but it was growing into his eyes. He got to go to the zoo for tr first time and liked it but seemed to like watching the other people there more. Another thing he likes is to find any cord, charger cord, vacuum cord, etc. and drape it around his neck and walk around the room. If you take it away, he gets very mad. We are not sure why but always have to watch him super carefully. Maybe it's because he had the umbilical cord around his neck. Just joking. Here are some pics from the last month.
