GOODBYE paci! & Pauls Bday!

 Ryder hasn't had his paci since his second birthday! He asks for it every now and then but I just remind him that its "broken". I cut the nipple off of the two I had and that was that... WELL this morning he found one under his bed and said,"MOMMY PAPS!!" I said, "Eww Yucky! You better throw it away" and he said, "OK!" and put that thing in the trash! HALLELUJAH!

Paul always gets left out for his birthday because of COURSE Ryder steals the show :).. But Sunday night we threw him a little paryt at my house with all of our "leftover" party supplies! :) INCLUDING the cake! ha! I just wiped off Ryder :) I couldn't find any of the candles though and all I had were toothpicks! So in case you were wandering if toothpicks light easy.. THEY DON'T!

Little Boys Paradise

 I ran up to Meme and Pa's today to take some pictures of Pa's puppies to put in the paper. While I was busy, Ryder decided to go for a little ride on the 4 wheeler... I'm not sure if it was his idea or his daddys! :) Here are some cute pictures!! (It was REALLY sunny, so the pictures are kind of bright)

I thought it would be cute to put the puppies in the wheel barrow that Nanas' Pa made.. I think they turned out cute!!

Hangin Outside!! & Tanners Football Game

Here are some pictures from our time outside yesterday..which was most of the day.. I dont' know what has come over me because if you know me you know I HATE to be outside and I HATE to sweat! WELL I have been staying outside AND sweating all for the love of these boys.. if it makes them happy I've learned it makes me happy!

Last night I went to Tanners 1st football game on JV. I didn't really watch it because I was too busy running up and down the bleachers chasing a certain 2 year old MANIAC..but I did get some pictures.. they ended up losing in the last couple minutes of the game, but while I was running around I did hear over the loud speaker, "That was Tanner Cornwell number 67 on the tackle" So I guess he played good! :)

After they dumped their ice buckets out he LOVED Playing in it!

This little boy has a FEW more years before he'll be out there playing!!

Random Things...

Now that Ryder is 2 I won't be doing monthly updates but I WILL be posting when he does things and stats at doctors appointments ect. ANYWAYS.. before I forget to I wanted to post your 2 year check up numbers

You weigh 24 1/2 pounds which is the 10th%

You are 34 inches long which is the 51st% AND they say if you double their height at 2 that is most likely how tall they will be which is 5'8 WHICH is taller than Eric and I!!! WOOO HOO :)

Your head was in the 90th percentile like always

We have been working on the backyard because I have a feeling we are going to be out there ALOT this summer/fall and you have been LOVING the new water table grandma got you for your birthday.. I am hoping to get a good patio table and chairs on sale, and once we build your treehouse its going to be PERFECT! :) I'm excited!! We spent almost all day outside today the twins LOVED it!!

300 pictues and a birthday party later..

Ryders birthday party was SOO much fun! Everything was perfect and tons of people came ..minus some paint missing from the walls.. but after a mad rush to pick up some white paint and a few touch ups later.. we were good as new! :) Here are the start to a TON of birthday pictures!! :)
