WEIRD WEIRD WEIRD

So yesterday when I put Ryder in his crib for a nap I noticed that their was almost a complete circle inprint on the side of his foot, I didn't think much of it because Meme had just bought him crocs and the top part has circles on it. So I thought maybe he just pressed his foot up against it... well last night around 8 I saw it again and it was really red. So I looked at it closely and it looked like a PIECE OF HAIR like maybe an eyelash or little curl of a hair BUT it was under his skin! I licked my fingers to try to rub it off because I thought maybe it was just dirt but it didn't come..the more and more I looked at it I was sure it was hair under his skin... than I had a freakout moment when I thought what if this is a worm or something?!?! So I grabbed the needle and was able to get the very top of it out of the skin and just pulled and low and behold the rest came pulling out from under his skin and it was a HAIR!! How weird is that??? It looked just like an eyelash.. How in the world does that happen?? He takes a bath everyday and we scrub his dirty little self head to toe.. I am still in shock... I took a picture of it this morning and it looks alot better, still a little red but alot better! WEIRD!

Hair and Choo choos

Last night I asked Eric if he thought we could cut Ryders hair with his clippers.. he said that he had some big ones that would probably work... I was hestiant because I LOVE his long hair but that poor boy gets so hot outside I thought that he would like it cut off... so we held our breaths and thankfully it turned out cute!

BEFORE

AFTER

I had to run to the mall today to grab a brown shirt for Ryder because I have 3 pairs of shorts that he can't wear because we don't have a brown polo... he was just DYING for this hat at the store so I splurged and got it for him... THEN we had to walk by the mechanical rides and OF COURSE ride the choo choo... when we got home he looked in the mirror and said, This Pa's hat.. I said no this is Ryders hat, pa has a different one and he said, ohhh pa? and I said what? and he said " I ride tractor with pa" and I said yes, Ryder you ride the tractor with pa ...he loves his pa!

 

Road Trip

 I watched Haylie and Mollie on Friday and we decided to take a road trip to Nana and Pa's house.. the girls AND Ryder had a blast and it was like pulling teeth trying to get them to leave.... we left at 1:30 and didn't get home until 4:45!!! It was awful we got stuck in 2 accidents and what normally takes about an hour and a half or less took me over 3! Those poor kids were SO tired and cranky I gave them anything and everything I had in the car to keep them happy! Here are some pictures from our fun day!! ( minus the never ending car ride!) 

Haylie and Ryder LOVED Playing in the horse trailor they just ran around laughing in the hay

Mollie and Haylie picked flowers and did NOT want anything to happen to them!

Everytime we go up to their house Ryder goes straight to this oil funnel to play with... maybe he's just practicing for his college days.. I sure hope not!!

Ryder just LOVES his pa

Thanks Nana and Pa we had a BLAST!

Just another Thursday

I have no words.....

Except... I LOVE this little boy!

21 Months Old!

You are changing SOOO fast.. each day I feel like you are saying something new or learning something new!

*You are still wearing mostly 12 month clothes, although alot of your shirts are 18 months... I hope your not still in 12 month when your 2! but you are starting to thin out alot since you go NON STOP!
*You wear a size 4 diaper and I can't wait until your out of those diapers!! We will most likely start around your birthday and hopefuly it will be a piece of cake!

*You weigh 23 pounds and I believe are around 33-34 inches tall

*You are talking and saying the FUNNIEST things! Yesterday you brought me a little plastic man who was holding a cell phone and said, "Mommy, say hewoe to this guy" I said what? and you said, " Say hewoe to this little guy" It was soo funny!... We went to the zoo on Monday and EVERY single animal we went to, you would get as close as you could squat down and say, "HI TURTLE!, oh turtle, hi!" and then when we would walk away you would say " Bye Turtle, and start making kissy noises! soo cute, you did that to the turtles, fish, elephants, gorilla, kangaroos, EVERYTHING we walked by!

*You are CONSTANTLY skinning your knees and we were at chic-fil-a yesterday and the little girl in the playground said why does he have so many boo-boos I said, he's just a crazy little boy and she said, YES HE IS! ha! I just have to laugh sometimes

*You are starting to MAJORLY hit the terrible 2's, tantrums and fits are in full force these days and going to walmart can almost guarantee me atleast 3 meltdowns, one about getting into the cart, another about having to walk by the balls and not getting you one, and another about leaving...what an adventure its starting to become

*You L-O-V-E grace, I mean if she could fit in your pocket you would take her EVERYWHERE I have been trying to get on camera how you talk to her but its hilarious...its really high pitch and you just say OHH GRACIE and start kissing her and stroking her and you just say "Awww Gracie" Awww Gracie" its soo precious!

*Yesterday you came running into the living room and said, "Alsdjflkdjflkdjfldjflskdjfsdlkfjsdkflj Grace POOOOOP!!!!!! and I said grace poop? and you said YES! so I walked back into your playroom and sure enough she had pooped on one of your books, while I cleaned it up I heard you in the living room saying, "Bad bad Gracie" and when I walked in the living room you were in her bed talking to her! soo cute!

*I have started teaching you your colors and you want nothing to do with it, the whole time I am showing you colors you just keep saying, I color mommy, I color! I think the word "color" is confusing you with coloring...boy do I have a time on my hands!

 

*We have been having a lot of fun going places and doing new things, you are soaking up every bit of knowledge that I am giving you and its been really fun as your getting into this new stage ....minus the tantrums!

*You also LOVE to sing in the car... your favorite song goes like this, "HO HO HO HOSANNA, HA HA HA HALEIUAH, HE HE HE HE SAVES ME, I HAVE THE JOY OF THE LORD" you can sing it word for word and it just makes me smile! When we go to get into the car you start saying HO HO HO HO..its cute!

*At night when I pray with you, you fold your hands and pray right along with me...is mostly jibberish until we get to the end and you always say Amen right at the same time I do and then you have the biggest smile on your face.. I hope you pray with me forever its soo sweet!

Picnic and Ice Cream

Today we went to Chic-fil-a to pick up some happy meals and take them to the park to play on the playground! It was REALLY hot outside and poor Ryder gets SOOO hot playing outside in like 3 minutes. But I am pretty sure they still had fun!
 

 Later after their naps I took them back to chic-fil-a to trade in their toys for ice cream and to play on the INSIDE playground! My sister-in-law met us and brought her kids...can you tell Ryder LOVES them??

Happy Mothers Day!

 I got lots of kisses today from this little boy :) Which made this day EXTRA special!!

Zoo Time!!

Before Jessi came down she had called me to see if we could go to the zoo, of course I said yes since we practically live there... Meme, Mommy, and Nana joined us too! It was alot of fun like usual and the kids

 L-O-V-E-D it!(as you can see!)
