Life is GOOD!

Nothing much happening except that I have a new car!!! I think Stephen is just as excited as me. He can't wait to get into every day and play with it. I  started looking for something and 3 days later I bought! I was so overdue... and it is so sweet and is fully loaded (dvd player, sunroof, power everything)!  
Stephen, Ryder and Montana got their pictures taken. It was good considering it was really hot in the place and getting all three of them to look is challenging! 
Ryder is about to start walking... now his legs are in a walking position but his hands are on the floor- it is so comical. Ryder is still as lucky as ever and now gets the pleasure of both Grammy and Grandpop during the day. I am really excited for summer this year- Ryder is old enough to enjoy the pool- I don't have to constantly find shade. And that I have a car that I trust to enjoy road trips! Mother's Day weekend was great- we went to our camper. I got to spend the weekend with my mom which is always wonderful!!! I enjoy her company and also enjoy her help with my boys.. especially Ryder. Steve is so handy and I am so lucky. He is still working on our porch for our camper- actually is more like a pavilion.  He made steps this weekend so we can get up to the deck more easily. He is unbelievable!  Stephen can now ride his quad on the short trips we take. He just follows and waves to people when we pass them (like all the adults do- too cute).  He veers off road a bit to go fast..makes me so nervous!  Mom-Mom gave him a back pack that you can drink from... well he just thinks he is the coolest now! LIFE IS GOOD. Jake was watching Ryder alone for about 25 minutes. Ryder started choking on a penny... Jake knew what to do and started the Heimlic.  The penny came flying out of Ryder's mouth. I am so proud that Jake was paying attention to his gym teacher during the First AID/Safety lesson. Way to go Jake... I am so proud and so very thankful for your quick thinking. You saved my child's life!!! Let me say it one more time: LIFE IS GOOD!!!
