Ryder is 1

I can't believe my baby is 1..... where did that year go? He is such a sweet boy.  We threw a great party- it is a shame he won't remember.  Stephen told us he doesn't like when it is someone elses birthday- he wants presents. We were laughing so hard. So now he says, this is what Ryder and I got (as he is holding up a gift).  Too funny!! The day was absolutely beautiful! The weather was wonderful! The party started at 3 and lasted until 1am!! Needless to say, the keg was kicked by 9pm..... and the food was pretty much gone! I guess that is what happens when the party lasts for hours and hours.  We had a moon bounce (that was delivered Friday night- Aunt Krissy's present to Ryder), hot dog machine and popcorn machine, and a horse and pony (gift from the Whitesells)! I even rode the horse.  I am so thankful for  all of my family and friends for all of their help to make it a success!! Unfortunately, Stephen started to get sick around 9 that night and slept on the couch for the rest of the party.  But at least he got most of the day in... stupid stomach bug!!
Stephen started riding his bike a few weeks ago with no training wheels. He now is doing wheelies and skids.  I can see that I will be hiding my eyes as he gets older- he is so daring. Every night we take a walk around the block- Ryder in stroller or little tykes car and the dog of course.  It is such a nice half hour to spend with my boys.  The 4th marking period started-- Wahoo!!! Teachers love the 4th marking period- only 9 weeks to go until we are off for the summer. But, we aren't counting or anything. Here are a few pictures from Ryder's birthday.

Also, My baby girl is 8 today- HAPPY BIRTHDAY MONTANA~
