March 2014

March was a very fun filled month for us!  Here are some pictures of what we did.

We had girls night at Amy's house.  We each brought a favorite thing to share with everyone else.

Ryker got a new bed and Dad had to sleep in it with him.

Ryker almost always has to have a truck to go to sleep

Just wiring a circuit board with Dad.  Don't worry, no electricity was hooked up.

We had Ryker's 2nd birthday party and did it Monster Jam themed since he loves those trucks so much.

Ryker got to ride in a real monster truck!

We went to the Monster Jam World Finals in Las Vegas and this was at the pit party.  Ryker loves Scooby Doo.  It was one of the first names he knew of Monster Trucks. 

Ryker and Mom.  Ryker loves any big truck.  He calls construction vehicles beep beeps because of the sound they make backing up. 

With Monster Mutt Dalmation.  Another favorite.

Standing by Grave Digger.  They had the biggest area, complete with a mock graveyard and a truck you could take your picture in.

This is vintage Grave Digger and is Ryker's favorite toy truck so he was very excited to see a big one.

Holding his toy truck of the same model

So excited to be there!

Ryker, Dad and Mom and little baby brother.

Ryker was way to engrossed to take a picture.  This was while we were watching the freestyle truck event. 

We stayed at the MGM grand and ate at the Rainforest Cafe.  Ryker loved the fish but was a little nervous about the fake animals that made noises.

Ryker with Grandma.  He was scared as soon as the Alligator started moving.

So tired on the way home.

How many trucks can he hold at once?  Surprisingly more than this.

We found out we are having a baby boy this month!

Baby boy #2 ultrasound.  So far names we are considering are Teagan, Lucas, Micah, Nico, and Taysom.  We seem to be leaning more towards Teagan right now, and calling him Teag for short.

Balloons from Ryker's Monster Truck party.  He loved playing with the balloons.

The spread at the party.  We had hamburgers, hotdogs, chips, veggie trays, fruit, and chocolate pudding (mud) with oreo cookies (dirt).

February 2014

This month was a fun month.  My sister Alicia got married this month and we enjoyed celebrating her wedding.  Last month I forgot to post that my Mom and I threw her a shower.  It was a lot of fun and we had croissant sandwiches with caeser salad, sparkling punch and a sugar cookie bar with fruit topping that was delicious.  We played a few games, one where you had to match the wedding tradition to the reasoning behind it.  Another where you had to guess Alicia's age in pictures taken while she was growing up.  We also played a game where we recorded her fiance Cory answering certain questions and then she would have to answer what she thought he would say.  We paused the tape after we asked him each question, then she would guess and then answer what she thought he said.  Then we would reveal the response that he gave.  If it was wrong, she would have to chew a piece of bubble gum.  We also took Ryker to Monster Jam at the Energy Solutions Arena and he loved it.  He is really into trucks and cars lately, as well as trains.

Ryker loves trains, he is upset we had to get off, wouldn't look at the camera for the picture.

Kristi, Angela, Jamie, Me, Amy and Hannah at the murder mystery dinner Hannah invited us to.  It was so much fun!

Me and Jamie.  I was Miss Louisiana

Ryker getting his hair cut, he was trying to smile but kept getting distracted because he has to watch everything going on.

What a cutie

Ry went through a stage where he was loving hats for a little while.  He would wear them everywhere.

Valentines Day with my loves

We went to Ruby River it was delicious

Selfies and kisses

At Monster Jam

Ryker's favorites, Grave digger and Scooby Doo

Ry had to wear this hat to church even though it obviously doens't match.  He looks so adorable though. 

Practicing hair styles for Alicia's wedding

Nails for Alicia's wedding, the chevron matched our skirts.

Ryker has to sleep with a truck.  Sometimes up to 8 are in the bed at a time.  If he wakes up he will cry until we hand him a truck and then he'll fall back asleep.

At Alicia's luncheon at La Jolla Groves

How we ended up doing Alicia's hair for her reception.  Simple and classy.

Making his choo choo chair into a recliner

I looked down and found all the cars lined up like this.
