Cabinet Fun!

So Ryder DEFINETLY figured out how to open the kitchen cabinets and I can tell you that the kitchen is his new favorite place to be!! Here are some cute pictures of him playing tonight,.... Have I ever said how handsome my little boy is??

Virginia...

So it is going to take a REALLY long post to put all of the pictures from our trip! So I am going to start with SATURDAY

...Saturday we left Ryder was PERFECT the ENTIRE trip ride. We got to John and Denise's and went to Newsomes for lunch and then came back for dinner to see Aunt Sandra, Billy and Erin and the girls, and ReRe and Rachel....Ryder really liked the girls!!

SUNDAY:

Everyone went to church except Ryder and I...lets just say it was in the middle of his nap time and they didn't have a nursery and he would NOT stop screaming...SO I did bring him to the end of the service to visit with all of Neesy's friends so they could see her CUTEST grandbaby! :)...THEN we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Harris' house and had a FANTASTIC dinner with them AND uncle dan dan, AND James and Diane made the trip with their 3 TOTALLY adorable kids! Ryder LOVED them!!

MONDAY:

We had a fun day of BOWLING, eating lunch at the bowling alley and then walking around to some shops...THEN we went to Grandma Cockrell's house for a great dinner and also to see Rebecca, Jonathan, and Ethan! It was a fun night even though Ryder was EXTREMLY cranky and wanted to play the entire time! Here are some pictures!!

Ryder was EXHAUSTED after lunch and bowling!

(BY THE WAY...I am not sure if you look at my blog but I would LOVE to get those pictures you took! If you don't mind e-mailing them to me alishanharris@yahoo.com !! THANKS!!)

TUESDAY!

Tuesday was the day I started with the flu but tried to go to the beach...I had to leave after about 30 minutes BUT Eric, John, Matthew fished and Matthew caught a STINGRAY! It was really cool! They came home and even cooked up the fish but I was in bed! (well the bathroom puking! :) ) Here are some pictures!!

WEDNESDAY:

We came home..I continued throwing up and then started having the other end issues :( NO FUN! But we had a great time in VA and were so happy to get to visit with so many people!! THANK YOU JOHN AND DENISE for housing us!!

Early Birthday Present!!

Ryder got the coolest birthday present ever and I think you can tell by his face that he thinks he's pretty "hott stuff"!! Thanks Aunt Becky for the great birthday gift!!

boy oh BOY!

So I was busy packing for Virginia, when I realized Ryder wasn't in the livingroom, I looked down the hall and he wasn't there either....Guess what he found???

Can you tell he thought he found gold???

Look-A-Likes

Everyone keep saying that Ryder looks just like Eric...but I think he looks alot like me when I was a baby..what do you think??

Date Night!

Ryder and I had our first date night and went to Mcdonalds...I was kind of worried about what you do when you order and have to take your baby and your tray to a table, but the very nice cashier lady carried the tray for me! Ryder LOVED his chicken nuggets and I was just eating up every minute with him....he is just such a sweet little boy and is growing up WAY too fast... I'm sure that this was only the first of many many many more date nights with mommy! :)

FAVORITE toy!!

When my grandparents were down putting up the swing and fixing our leak in the roof, my grandma took Ryder shopping and he got this new truck while we were out....Every morning when I get him up and we walk into the living room and he sees that truck he starts pumping his arms and legs and getting really excited to go for a spin in his new truck!! He really enjoys pushing the siren buttons...maybe he'll be a firefighter!! I sure hope not because his momma would die VERY young...

New Swing!!

My VERY talented Grandpa who will do anything for me because I'm his favorite built this beautiful swing for Ryder and I have to say that he just LOVES this swing and can't get enough!! Here are some pictures!!
